About

Images rarely, if at all, tell you about artist behind the lens. Who is this person!? Will his personality match his images? And how the heck did he get into wedding photography!?

If there is one thing that I can share about me, it's that I never saw myself as an artist until I started connecting with brides and capturing their big day.

About a year after college, I was studying for the GMATs to get back into business school, at the same time, I was teaching music while taking photos of birds and buildings to post on Instagram. - Several months had passed and summer was around the corner so I was about to be out of work. - At this point in time, I got into UF for my masters, and coincidentally, my Instagram grew to a following made me a micro-influencer. It was at this moment I made a critical decision that would forever change my life goals.

I didn't go back to school, but instead I reached out to every photographer I could on WeddingWire, The Knot, Google, and etc. just to hold their bags and assist in any way possible. Working for serveral companies not only broadened my horizons photography, but also videography and even customer service skills!

Weddings bridge gaps. Between those lost friends you haven't spoken to in years to the family you recently added on your wedding day. To me, wedding photos are to me the definition of nostalgia; tt's that twinge, deep in the pit of your stomach whenever you look back in time, at the story of you.

Great photographer

Nil worked with us from the beginning to get an idea of what type of photos we wanted. He captured so many great candids, tons of emotion, small details, color, and light. We were especially happy with the editing, as it was not over-done.

Dream Wedding Photographer

Nil, owner of Patel Creative, is the funniest, most kind hearted, and most importantly, talented, wedding photographer out there. My husband and I booked Nil for our wedding over a year and a half in advanced, partly because I am a crazy planner, but mainly because of how gorgeous his other wedding's photos were, and his personality when we had our initial phone meeting, I knew he was the perfect fit and I did not want to risk not having him for our wedding! Out of ALL of our very incredible vendors, Nil was top both in personality and work, his personality makes you feel like you are long lost close friends! My husband and I are not the type used to being in front of the camera, but Nil made us look effortlessly photogenic in almost every picture and caught such raw emotion and intimate moments which was something really important to me! After the stress of the pandemic, nearly record low weather of 50 degrees and raining at the end of May, Nil's energy was refreshing and well received by everyone at our wedding! We were blessed that the skies opened up and we were able to get more outside photos with Nil because they all came out gorgeous. I get emotional every time I look through his photos taken on our special day. I have recommended him to all brides I know in person, and highly recommend him to anyone searching here, one of the best decisions we made with our wedding! RUN, don't walk to hire Nil! THANK YOU AGAIN!
