    11/10 Photographer!

    From our engagement photo session to our wedding day, Nick was fantastic! My fiancé HATES taking photos, and Nick made the process a breeze. During our engagement session, Nick walked us around Downtown Charleston, and it was just like we were talking with an old friend while getting pictures taken. It was so refreshing!
    After finding Nick on a limb, via Instagram, I was hooked. He had shot at our venue with another couple, and the pictures I viewed from his galleries were STUNNING. On our wedding day, he made the photo process so seamless, he was well organized and had everyone where and when they needed to be shot, in their spots. It made the day so enjoyable for us and we actually got to enjoy time with our friends and family. I can't wait to get our photos back and see the amazing pictures Nick took! Thank you again Nick!

    By far the BEST!

    Nicholas Gore Photography is absolutely AMAZING!! I found him after a lot of researching. With our wedding being an after dark event, I was being very particular with whom we chose. I know after dark photos can be very challenging to get the right lighting and I doubt everyone can do them. Without a doubt, Nicholas and his team nailed it! We are so in love with our photos and completely blown away with how they turned out. He is so artistic and creative, and you can tell he is very passionate about photography and it definitely shows in his work. Nicholas captured every single moment and detail of our big day. Not only did we love his nighttime photography, but he did a fantastic job catching fun candid shots.

    The most amazing photos EVER!

    From our engagement photos through our reception, Nicholas was able to truly capture not only the love David and I have for each other, but our playful personalities.
    Our hope for our destination wedding was for our family and friends to see that love while enjoying themselves in a laid-back, fun atmosphere. Nicholas also was able to capture all the perfect moments from our special day from getting ready with our bridal party to the dance party that ended the night.
    He did an exceptional job and we couldn’t be happier with his work that will create lifelong memories.

    No one is better than Nick !

    Nick is the best photographer ever- will never use anyone else again. I always feel I look terrible in wedding photos, and I loved every single photo Nick took of us. He truly has such a gift. Nick and his wife travelled to Washington DC for our cherry blossom engagement shoot, and of course did our wedding day as well. So excited to get our wedding day photos back - but will post a few photos from our engagement shoot that obviously speak for themselves. You will not find anyone better than him so honestly don’t even try.

    Absolutely Stunning Wedding Photographers

    Nick and Cushla were so wonderful to work with and truly put so much effort into every shot and couldn’t imagine working with anyone else for our special day. I’ve only seen a few of the sneak peaks and they were absolutely gorgeous!! They worked so well with our videographer and other vendors to make sure everything turned out perfect. Nick was able to get all the shots we wanted and more in such a short time period. Highly recommend using them for your wedding photography needs!

    Destination Wedding

    We had the pleasure of spending several days with Nick and Cushla because they came to Jamaica with us for our wedding! I can't put into words how lucky we feel that they came with us. Nick and Cushla are not only amazing at what they do, but they are simply amazing human beings. We were in a unique situation and didn't actually get to meet Nick and Cushla in person before the trip but they immediately fit in like they were a part of our group! We had such a blast getting to know them. They shot every aspect of our wedding weekend.... our "Welcome Dinner", a Catamaran boat ride, and our entire wedding day. They captured moments so vividly that looking back at our photos makes us feel like we are in that moment again. They are so incredibly talented. Thanks again, Nick and Cushla, for traveling to another country, surviving jellyfish stings, and delivering photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    Recommend 100%!

    I can't recommend Nick enough. I knew the minute I saw his instagram and website that he was the one I wanted for our wedding. He and his wife Cushla are an absolute blast to work with, made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing the whole time! The quality of our photos, both engagement and wedding photos, are incredible and not only do we love them but so do our families, friends and other vendors. He was quick for large group photos, efficient and had so many amazing ideas for photos/poses! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is passionate about his work, aims to make your day perfect and creates amazing photos of you and yours on your big day, Nick is your guy!

    Nick and Cush are FANTASTIC!

    Nick came highly recommended by my wedding planning, and he is fantastic. After my husband and I looked at Nick’s work on his site and sat down and talked to him, we knew that we absolutely wanted him to capture our special day! Nick and his wife, Cush, could not have been more fun and personable during both our engagement session and on our wedding day! My wedding party and parents both complimented how great they both were on our wedding day! They both made sure to get all the shots that we wanted and so much more! I could not believe how many photos they took throughout the wedding day! They returned our engagement and wedding photos in a timely manner, and they could not be more stunning! People cannot stop raving about them! We will forever be grateful for our beautiful wedding photos to look at to relive our wedding day! I would highly recommend Nick and Cush to any bride looking for a fun couple to work with who will deliver absolutely stunning photos! Thank you Nick and Cush, you guys are the best!

    Stunning Photography & Great People

    Our experience with Nicholas Gore Weddings was remarkable! Jeff and I got married at the Restoration Hotel in Charleston in May. Nick and Cushla captured every moment of the occasion perfectly. It was unusually hot outside for May, and I was worried we wouldn't be able to get any of the classic outdoor Charleston shots without roasting. Not the case! They had great ideas to get us out and photographed quickly but without sacrificing an ounce of quality. N and C are fun and relaxed but also professional, and have the BEST sense of humor. When we received the photos we were amazed at how accurately they portrayed the essence of the day - love, fun, laughter, and beauty. The images are stunning. We are so grateful for everything they added to this special time in our lives.

    An exceptionally talented duo

    When my SO and I got engaged, we planned our wedding date around three things: a full moon, high tide, and Nick’s availability. I’d spent several summers assisting local wedding photographers and getting to know the Charleston photo scene, and Nick’s particular blend of technical expertise, creativity, professionalism, and fun always stood out.

    Even with our high expectations, we were BLOWN AWAY by our wedding photos, and how darn FUN Nick and his wife, Cushla, made the experience for a bunch of camera-shy introverts. If you’re searching through the many wedding photographers in Charleston (or beyond!), here are a few things that set Nicholas Gore Weddings apart:

    1. Nick and Cushla’s portraits - and knack for composition in general - are incredible. In our photos, they not only captured everyone at their best, but used their eye for movement to visualize the sweeping joy we felt, from the wide shots, to the intimate portraits, to their many candids.
    2. Nick’s a lighting wizard. Natural light, portable studio lights in softboxes, flash – he’s a master of them all. There are a lot of photographers who make great daytime portraits, but few capture the rest of the wedding with equal skill and beauty, especially from a lighting standpoint. Whether your reception is in a dark hall, or somewhere with a crazy mix of colors and light sources (like our oak-canopied and café-lit evening), you can rest assured that everything from sunset glamour shots, to late nights on the dance floor are beautifully and accurately represented. Check out his blog for examples!
    3. Nick is SO fast! Big group photos fly by thanks to his expertise, and he can weave through a reception (and a dance floor) like nobody’s business. Plus, he will send you GREAT shots of your groups – not an overwhelming stack of various people blinking or looking away.
    4. Last, but certainly not least, Nick and Cushla are insanely fun. You will spend most of your day with your photographers, and it’s a true joy to spend it with people as sweet, witty, and relaxed as N&C. The tone they set was reflected in our photos and in our happy memories, and at least a dozen members of our family and bridal party approached us to say the same.

    In short, I cannot recommend Nick and Cushla more highly, and feel so honored to have their stunning work as the document of our wedding day for the years to come.

    Best wedding photographer in Charleston!

    Nick and Cushla are great! Their prices are very fair, especially considering the quality you get from them! We did an engagement session & wedding pictures with them, and both sets turned out perfect. They're also the coolest people ever, so that's a plus!

    Tops our list of favorite vendors! Book now!

    Nick Gore and his wife (second shooter) were an absolute dream team to work with! He came with high praise from our wedding planner so we booked his services before we even chose our venue! They were professional, punctual, there (but not there, what you want in a photographer) and were somehow able to capture every single highlight of the busy night (and we had A LOT going on). If you're considering, I would say BOOK NOW, Nick is too good to pass up and was at the top of our list of vendors we were most happy to work with for our wedding.

    So we've just gotten married a little over a week ago. I have yet to receive my photos, but I still wanted to give a review. Nicholas Gore did a wonderful job at our wedding. I am very camera shy (and shy in general) and he did an excellent job at guiding me and my large family to get great shots. Getting down in the dirt and getting eaten alive by bugs didn't even seem to faze him- on the other hand we were quite anxious to get inside so he made sure to go fast. He went above and beyond helping show my mom how to put the veil on and other little things that are definitely not in his job description lol such a sweetheart and easy to work with. Truly pleased.

    Nick was such an amazing photographer for all of our wedding pictures! He did our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photography, all for a very reasonable price. All of the pictures he took were amazing. We get so many complements on how great the images turned out! Not only is his photography amazing, but he is so much fun to be around as well. Nick always brings an assistant to help with posing and lighting on all engagement and bridal portrait shoots. His assistant acts as a second photographer for the wedding, as well as assisting with lighting for formal portraits. It was nice being able to get to know him throughout the whole process, and being fully comfortable around him for the wedding photos. We spent most of our time with him laughing and making jokes, which made the photography process fun, and our smiles in our photos genuine. My husband is not one to have pictures taken, but he was fully comfortable during the whole process thanks to Nick. Nick's turnaround time for photos is quick, and you get access to all of your full definition photos through his website. We didn't realize just how high quality the photos were until we got everything printed off for our wedding book, we couldn't have been more pleased with everything. I highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    FANTASTIC photos and professionalism! Turned out great. Nick was professional throughout our engagement session as well as our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better photog. One slight compliant is that we kept feeling “pulled” from our wedding reception and party to continuously take pictures. While the pictures turned out fantastic, we felt we didn’t get to enjoy our wedding reception as much as we could have. If we were to do this again, we probably would have skipped “reception” photoshoot and paid for a special “wedding attire shoot” with sunsets, etc. That way we could still have great photos, but also could have enjoyed our guests more. We did receive our photos within 2 weeks of the shoots. Absolutely AMAZING that he was able to deliver so quickly!

    HOLY MOLY!!!!! What a PHOTOGRAPHER! I still have to submit my wedding photos to magazines because they were THAT amazing! He listened to everything I wanted, and took my crazy family in stride. He got the most amazing moments, even after the lights were turned off in the venue. For 8 hours, he was dedicated to getting the most intimate shots. I look at my photos and I am just in awe. Seriously, just trust him because he is dedicated to getting and being the very best.

    Nick took both my bridal portraits and our wedding photos, and I just can't say enough great things! He was prompt and well prepared, and he was always willing to try whatever photos I wanted to. After getting our photos back, my husband and I are absolutely blown away! Nick and Cushla captured the beautiful scenery, especially the awesome sunset right after our ceremony - we've already had so many compliments on our photos. I would recommend Nick and his team to anyone - they're incredibly professional, fantastic at what they do, and a blast to work with!

    I remembered Nick from when I was at the College of Charleston, and when it came time to hire a wedding photographer I instantly looked him up. His style of photos- bold, colorful, and creative angles- were just what I was looking for. Working with Nick was simple, easy, and absolutely a dream. He looked at the area and put together his shots so quickly. His quiet creative energy brought a sense of calm to all the chaos of taking photos with a huge group of people. We were all over the place, and he was so patient and made sure we got photos with all the important people in our lives. Nick was also incredibly professional, meeting with me when needed and making sure we thought of all the shots we wanted of our day. The package we picked had a second shooter and I have to say that he was also incredible. I loved having photos that captured different angles of the same scene. The final results were stunning. I could not stress enough the importance of hiring a high quality photographer for your wedding day, and Nick Gore is definitely the high quality you want!

    We chose to work with Nick because of his ability to capture candid photos as well as create artistic scenes. He had great ideas for how to pose that made us look natural, yet beautiful, and he was fun to work with which really helped us relax. Because he's worked at so many weddings, he was familiar with the venue and already had ideas for taking really unique photos. He also captured our whole event, taking candid photos of our guests all night long as well as capturing the details of our food and decorations. Also, the photo booth was a nice add-on that our guests really enjoyed because the photos are immediately displayed onto the wall for other guests to enjoy, rather than printed on small tiles. Props are not provided though.
    Overall, I would definitely recommend working with Nick Gore!

    My husband and I look back on our choice to book Nicholas Gore Photography as one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning. Photography was a huge priority for me, so it was the first thing I started researching after getting engaged. We looked into photographers in Myrtle Beach, Wilmington, and Charleston. Nicholas was so easy to work with and made everyone at my wedding feel at ease. I received several comments from guests about how impressed they were with him. Also, he always has a second photographer, something not many companies can boast. He was sure to ask if there was anything in particular I wanted throughout the night. It was wonderful not to stress about wedding photos during the event. He had a preview shot up for us the next day! I think Nicholas and his team will continue to be successful and soon become the most sought after wedding photographer in the Charleston area. If you stumbled onto his page during your search for the perfect wedding photographer, quit looking. Thank you Nick, for capturing such beautiful memories.

    The photos Nick took of our wedding were absolutely stunning, and truly a work of art. I posted a few on facebook, and upon seeing some old friends post-wedding, I got more comments of "your wedding photos were beautiful" than "congratulations." (And I'm FINE with that!)

    The day came and went so fast, and he and his assistant managed to catch all of the important moments, and capture them perfectly. The hilarious part is, I barely remember seeing either of them that day. They're NINJAS -- managing to catch every detail without distracting from the celebration. They were also great people, and the moments when we did interact for posed photos, etc. were all fun and stress-free.

    He had a preview of 25 images up for us just a week after the wedding (which were so fun to look at!!!) and the rest of the images to us soon after. (With something like 400 images total, that speedy turnaround time is shocking.)

    We could not recommend him more!

    I can't provide enough praise for Nicholas Gore and his assistant Pat! They were such a joy to be around on our wedding day and really engaged themselves with our wedding guests and wedding party. The parents loved them, the friends loved them and we had a blast with the two of them until the very end of the night! We opted for the photobooth in addition to 9 hours of photography and would highly recommend that option. Our guests captured over 800 images in the photobooth truly capturing the different personalities within our group. Nicholas' attention to detail and the duos flexibility working with transportation vendors that were not able to stick to our agreed upon timeline made the day as seamless as possible. Thank you, thank you for your amazing work Nick! I'm so looking forward to putting together our wedding album.
