We wanted a photographer to take some family photos for a special occasion and I'm so glad that I asked Nikki. She was able to come at short notice, she got back to me straight away and was always easy to get in touch with. She was helpful in recommending locations for the photos. She was on time and ready to go. I'm absolutely amazed at what she achieved in an hour. She put everyone at ease, we moved from shot to shot seamlessly and everyone enjoyed the process (despite not everyone liking having their photo taken).
Nikki sent the photos over really quickly and they are absolutely gorgeous

Nikki took all the photos for our new One to One Recruitment website last year. The photos that she took as you can see, reflect us all as we really are; genuine, happy, relaxed and clearly enjoying the experience. Nikki is not only an expert photographer but has excellent people skills which means that everyone relaxes around her and for portrait and group shots this is essential. I would highly recommend Nikki for good value, perfectionism and an innate ability to capture the 'real you' in her photographs. Great personality too!

I knew Nikki was the photographer I wanted for our wedding as soon as we spoke for the first time. She seemed to know what it was I was wanting before I had even found the words explain it properly. Our wedding was planned in a short amount of time and we don't live in York so we had to do a lot via phone, Nikki was so professional
and friendly, we felt reassured we were in good hands. On the day, Nikki got all the photos we'd asked her to get, without feeling our precious wedding day had become one big photoshoot. She was able to blend in with the guests to get some beautiful, natural shots

I booked Nikki for a Personal Branding Shoot - it was time to move on from the traditional head and shoulders shots for work! I spent an hour with Nikki and she captured some great photos - she spent some time talking about what the images would be used for; and where, and then we walked and talked whilst she captured some great photos. Her relaxed, chatty, approach put me at ease and this has really come across in the images. Thanks so much!
