Finding the perfect wedding photographer was one of our most important vendors. We wanted someone who would capture the day in its entirety - knowing how to get the formal photos just right while also capturing the special candid moments that we would miss in the day itself. We fell in love with Nicki and Zack’s portfolio. And then the couple themselves! We first met via Zoom and they were exactly what we were looking for. They were professional and answered all our questions while also being fun, laid back, and a couple we knew we wanted to spend time with on our wedding day. The engagement session was a great way to get to know them and to get more comfortable in front of the camera ourselves. They made the session a fun afternoon at the beach and quickly provided us with an amazing, diverse set of photos that we used extensively during wedding planning. For the day itself, they helped us craft the day of schedule and provided advice throughout the day. They were professional, fun, and energetic all day. Never intrusive but always right there when we needed them. We had a beautiful collection of photos the next day and the full set one month after the wedding. These are photos that we’ll have to capture the day forever - from framed wall photos to social media profiles - and the Gowans captured them perfectly. The Gowans were also great to communicate with, from our initial request to post wedding updates. They were always quick to respond and easy to work with. Highly recommend them for your big day!

There is simply no better choice we made, as far as our wedding goes, than hiring The Gowans. Not only are they some of the kindest and best people we have ever met, they are both INSANELY talented. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were FLAWLESS despite some very in-climate weather both days. Nikki and Zach make you feel so comfortable and confident, they know exactly what they’re doing and the pictures show it. We truly can’t say enough good things about them and can’t wait to hopefully work with them again in the future.

When you choose your wedding photographers, the first thing most people think about is, “how awkward am I going to be taking these photos?!” But, from the moment we had our first introduction zoom call with Nicki and Zack we knew that those awkward moments would feel natural. We instantly thought how lucky we were to not have found just one amazing photographer, but TWO AMAZING photographers who not only fit together with each other perfectly, but us too. They are the perfect balance of professional and fun and never once made it feel like a working relationship – instead, we had the pleasure of cherishing their friendship and endless laughter as they captured our personalities and love in the most amazing photos of both our engagement and wedding day. It is clear how their photos can speak for themselves and shows how talented they are with capturing real emotions – but the most important reason we chose them to photograph our day is because their passion for what they do is endless. Not only did they capture us, our friends, and our family so beautifully, but they also captured our three dogs in so many photos that we will equally cherish forever because they recognized how special and important, they were to us too. I think the bottom line is, when you have multiple wedding guests come up to you to tell you how awesome your photographers are and ask if they are booking out for their future weddings, it is a safe bet you made the right choice ;). If you are looking for photographers who are responsive, professional, fun, and amazing at what they do…look no further than Nicki and Zack!
