Courtney + Gabe, Gorgeous Sarabande Wedding

Kind words from the bride:

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team for our wedding! From start to finish, Andrew was an absolute joy to work with. He was so patient, timely, and always had a calm, reassuring presence throughout the day, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Andrew took the time to get to know our bridal party and family, even learning everyone’s names, which made the whole experience feel so personal and thoughtful.

His attention to detail was evident in every shot he took, capturing not just the big moments, but the small, intimate ones that made our day unique. The way he photographed our ceremony in our church was truly magical – he made the space look even more beautiful than we could have imagined, with such natural light and warmth. Every photo has a timeless quality to it, perfectly reflecting the atmosphere and emotions of the day.

We’ve received endless compliments on our wedding photos from friends and family, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The way Andrew captured the joy, love, and fun of our day is something we will cherish forever.

On top of Andrew's incredible work, Marianne was also an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She was always so responsive, patiently answering all of my questions and guiding us through the details. She made the business side of things so easy, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day without worrying about any logistics.

If you're looking for a talented, professional photographer who will truly make your wedding day special, and a team that is incredibly easy to work with, we highly recommend Andrew and Marianne!”

Grace + Henry, Garden Party Wedding at Westmoreland Country Club

Kind words from the couple:

“Marianne and Andrew are the best of the best. One of our first thoughts when choosing our wedding dates was to work backwards from their availability - and we are SO glad we did! They are highly skilled photographers and make the entire process organized and easy - each step of planning was a joy! They both care so much about the quality of photos, of course, but also the couple and families involved. We felt like we were in such capable hands the entire time - especially on the day of our wedding which involved two big families and 20+ wedding party members. They kept the pace of the day and were extremely positive and helpful - which totally set the tone. Could not recommend more! The pictures will be treasured for decades!”

“This was such a nice surprise yesterday. We are just over the moon happy with Andrew’s work! Just absolutely amazing, he understood the vision perfectly and killed it. Our families and Ryan and I have been swooning all night and day! We have already downloaded them and printed some as well! These are perfect to frame for my dad for his Father’s Day/birthday gift too which will be so fun for him! Thank you for taking all the pics of his car too and making him feel so special! Overall, thank you so so much for all of your hard work, we cannot wait to work together in the future!”

Caroline + Brendan, Ceremony and Reception at Saddle and Cycle Club

Kind words from the couple:

“I cannot say enough positive things about the Nicodem team! From our engagement photo session to our wedding day, Marianne and Andrew made us feel so comfortable and made everything so fun, and it truly shows in their beautiful photography and videography. We had unexpected rain on our wedding day, which could have been disastrous, but Andrew, Marianne and their whole team didn't miss a beat and from looking at our photos, you would have never known we had a last-minute switch to "Plan B".

They are the ultimate professionals, and all timelines and deliverables were always communicated clearly and delivered promptly, which was so appreciated in wedding planning craziness!

Thank you, Nicodem Creative, for making our day so memorable and capturing it in a way that we will be able to look back on and cherish forever. You are the best!!”
