Natalia and Zac’s Oregon Coast Intimate Beach Elopement

April 4, 2024

I first met Natalia and Zac at the beginning of 2022 when they reached out about their engagement session. Although they don’t currently live in Chicago, Zac was born and raised in Chicago, and they couldn’t think of a better city to have their engagement session! After a beautiful sunrise engagement session in downtown Chicago, they reached out asking if I captured elopements, and a year later, I was flying out to the West Coast for their elopement!

Their intimate wedding took place on the Oregon coast and it felt like it was out of a movie. The weather was perfect, the waves were slowly washing up and the haze created the dreamiest backdrop to their ocean-view wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful, there were so many tears, it was so full of love and it really shows that no matter how big or small your wedding is, as long as you’re surrounded by people who care for you that’s all that matters. After they said their vows, we spent the next hour running around on the beach and capturing Natalia and Zac’s wedding day bliss. Once we were done at the beach, we headed back to their cabin to cut the cake and take some celebratory tequila shots.

The funniest part was that night, my Fiancé and I went back to that same beach and ran into N+T again! It was a perfect day, the perfect wedding with the perfect couple and I wish them all the best. 

"CONGRATULATIONS this is your sign that your search for the perfect wedding photographer has ended-- it's Nichole!!!

Words fall short when writing about Nichole's photography and talent, but I will do my best. As an Indian bride, I wanted a photographer who would be able to capture the color and action of my wedding weekend, and Nichole BEYOND DELIVERED!!!! She is an angel and a true artist and completely blew us away.

I’ve cried and laughed a million times looking at my wedding pictures and cannot thank Nichole enough for allowing us to relive the day so perfectly. We are so immensely grateful that we found her and had the insane luck to pick her as our wedding photographer. I truly wouldn’t have changed a thing about the whole process, she is such a light and so fun to work with. Her pictures are the very best wedding present we got and could have possibly asked for.

We adore Nichole! If I could give her 500 stars I would. Wedding couples, you are so lucky that you found her page-- book her IMMEDIATELY!!"

"you know you found the perfect photographer when you feel like you’ve known them forever. And that’s exactly what we told Nichole on our wedding day!

Nichole is not only a genius behind the camera, but she is genuinely a great person all around! She is so passionate about what she does and boy does it show! She captured photos from our wedding that we are still in awe of. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos say they look like they could be in a magazine.

Nichole went above and beyond our expectations. If you are looking for a photographer, she is your girl! We can’t thank her enough for capturing moments from our wedding that we will cherish for the rest of our lives."

"Nichole is truly amazing!!! She was the photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding; and I hope she will be our photographer for years to come!!!

Nichole took the time to get to know us as a couple which helped us feel so comfortable while we took photos. She captured our moments beautifully!! Nichole was always willing to set up a phone call to discuss wedding details and hear what we wanted for our big day. And she delivered in every way!

She was our ultimate hype woman and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Thank you, Nichole!

"if there were 10 stars, she’d get an 11.
I cannot recommend Nichole enough!!

She is the perfect balance of professionalism, hype woman, and friend. Her photos are stunning and prompt and you can tell she has such a passion for capturing love in all of its forms. She has a way of making everything feel comfortable and relaxed, even if you don’t love having a camera in your face. She makes it so easy, fun, and the times flies!

We have been so blessed to work with her and all of her forms/website/emails are easy to navigate. She’s the best of the best!."
