Kind words from the couple:
“Short version: You want to meet these people.
Full review: I've procrastinated writing this review. You know why? Because I'm a terrible salesperson and yet ALL I want to do is go door to door and explain to people why they should be booking Nicodem for all life events they want truly captured forever. I wouldn't even need to speak, just show these beautiful and honestly real pictures of one of the happiest days I'm my life. First- they take the time to get to know you! It wasn't just "so how did you meet?" (It was that too, because who doesn't like sharing that part?) but spent that extra time to learn about our lives and interests. They stayed in touch through the wedding planning process. They worked wonderfully with our planner. Any question I had? They either had the answer or could give us advice to decide it for ourselves. On our actual wedding day? There aren't words. I think at least half the wedding guests have told us how lovely they were to have around. We didn't feel watched, but instead often forgot we even were being photographed! They set clear expectations for when we'd receive our images and while waiting is the hardest part I'm so happy I did. The images are exactly right- they bring back the feeling of those specific moments (all 900+ of them!!). I feel beautiful, and I don't always love pictures of me. My one regret and advice to you- don't forget to ask for a picture WITH THEM! I can't believe I didn't ask for one, and wish I had. That's literally my only regret. I'm not going to tell you to rush to book them right away- but you should meet with them. Look at their work. Let it speak to you, because it does to me.”
