"AMAZING! From the first phone call to the day of our elopement, Nicole was AMAZING. She traveled across country for us, planned a full day for us, and did it in the most professional way.

We simply couldn’t have done this without her.

She planned a full day and even with my hiccup, executed it perfectly. If you are looking for a one stop shop- Destination Life Photography is your answer. I could go on and on but just know I had many photographers/elopement guiders to pick from and I am SOOO thankful we picked Nicole. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts. You were perfect!!!"
