YOUR WEDDING STORY






hi! I'm so glad you stopped by!
I’m Nikki, the photographer behind Nicole April Photography, an award-winning wedding and portrait photographer based in Upstate New York.
I’ve always loved everything about weddings—the excitement, the emotions, the beautiful details, and all of those little moments that happen when no one realizes the camera is there.
There’s something pretty incredible about being invited into one of the biggest days of someone’s life. I get to capture the moments you know you’ll want to remember forever, but also the ones you might have missed—the quick glance across the room, your parents tearing up, your best friend fixing your dress, or the way your new spouse looks at you when you aren’t paying attention. Those are the moments that still give me chills.
Before finding my place behind the camera, I actually studied wedding planning, and that experience has given me a unique perspective on a wedding day. I understand the timeline, the details, the emotions, and, yes, sometimes the organized chaos that comes along with it.
One of the greatest compliments I hear from my couples is that I’m a calming presence on their wedding day. Whether I’m helping keep things moving, calming some pre-ceremony nerves, fixing a veil, or simply reminding you to slow down and enjoy the moment, I’m there for more than just the photographs.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a wife to the best guy in the world and mom to four incredible boys—which means life is rarely quiet! We’re a hockey family, so if I’m not holding a camera, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find me sitting in an ice rink somewhere cheering on one of my favorite players.
And believe it or not, after photographing so many love stories, I still get excited for every single one.
Because no two weddings are the same. No two couples are the same. And that’s exactly what I love about them.
Let's make sure you remember them.
