We visited San Luis Obispo for the holidays and used Nikkels Photography for our engagement photoshoot. Although it was our first visiting there, Michele helped us find a location that would be the best for our needs. The shooting session went very smoothly and was fun, and the photos came out beautifully. If you want to capture the precious moment, I highly recommend her!

We are so glad that we chose Michele to be our photographer. She is not only super organized, reliable, and professional, she's a really kind person! We had never done a photoshoot before and she made us feel at ease right away. The wedding and engagement photos turned out so well and we're having a hard time picking out our favorites! She turned them around to us very quickly despite it being the busiest time of the year for her. Michele went above and beyond with her periodic gifts and texts reminding us to relax and enjoy the moment. We would highly recommend her! -Michaela & Noah

One of the best decisions I made during wedding planning was hiring Nikkels photography, and there aren't words to express how much I appreciated Michele and her team! Michele was extremely professional from start to finish, paying attention to every single detail, gracefully managing a postponement and all the headaches that came with COVID-19 restrictions, and was SUCH a joy on the day of - our families and wedding party of 20 raved about her and her team and how nice/efficient they were. Even more importantly, she is SO skilled at what she does and delivered some of the most beautiful wedding

Michele with Nikkels Photography is not only an incredible photographer, but a really great person to work with as well. She is kind, talented, and communicates well. We always feel very in-the-loop when we do business with her and this provides us with the confidence that every wedding is going to turn out awesome. On top of that, her images are STUNNING! If you're looking for a photographer, Michele is a great choice. We highly recommend her.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Michele was a delight to work with from the start. She listened to what I wanted and added her suggestions along the way; things I never would have considered. She was on time, took her time, and made our event that much better. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.

We had the chance to work together with Michele & team for a beautiful wedding on Aug 30, 2020. As owner of Oh Watta Night Entertainment I work with lots of photography crews and they were one of the best we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Professional, fun, personable and most importantly the photos we have seen are AMAZING. As another pro in the biz, we highly suggest hiring this awesome company. AND WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

Michele was the photographer for a surprise photoshoot at my bachelorette party and I could not be more happy with the entire experience. From the moment she arrived, mask on and socially distanced, she created a very fun and positive environment for myself and girl friends for an otherwise difficult time. Michele captured amazing images and I can just feel the joy in each of them! We received a few sample photos the same day and all of the photos were sent within 3 days after the shoot! I highly recommend Michele for incredible photos and an overall fantastic experience!

Words can't express how grateful we are to have found Michele for producing our amazing album - she exceeded our expectations. Our wedding album is just stunning and so so beautiful. She indeed is one of the BEST. She was very detailed in her prep work continuously communicating with us allowing me to be confident that all the moments that I wanted to capture she would and surprised us with beautifully capturing so many more. We highly recommend her.

Stunning photography
Michele captured the elegance and grandeur the bride wanted to encapsulate. As the florist for this clients wedding, Nikkels Photography represented the venue, my flowers, and the beautiful bride and groom in all their elegance on their simply romantic boutique wedding day. I have not met Michele, but feel like I know her through her photos and her personal video (watch it!) ~ great work Michele! The B&G must be thrilled!
