    Fantastic Experience with Nicole!

    We cannot say enough good things about Nicole and her work at our June 2022 Chappaqua wedding. We met with Nicole twice before the big day (once via zoom before hiring her, and once at our venue a couple months out) and we knew right from the start that her steadiness, friendliness, and enthusiasm were exactly what we envisioned in a wedding photographer. We were looking for someone who would give direction and make suggestions, but also not insist on photos that didn’t feel like us or how we interact, and Nicole completely got that. Before our second meeting at the venue, Nicole provided us with an incredibly detailed timeline of our wedding day. On our wedding day, Nicole and her second shooter, Reis, showed up early to scout out spots and get set up. They were laid back and fun, but also kept us on schedule without us feeling rushed. Throughout the day, they were present and got amazing shots, but it didn’t feel like they were intruding either during the ceremony and reception. We asked Nicole about doing a full guest photo at the end of the ceremony and she was game to give it a try (it turned out really fun!). She also knew that we wanted photos with each table and made that happen in the midst of the reception timeline (even changing the plan on the fly so that we could fit it in). About a week later we had a preview of several dozen photos that blew us away. Nicole captured moments big and small in a style that perfectly matched our vision for the day. About 5.5 weeks after the wedding, we got the full album of 800+ photos and I am having trouble figuring out which ones to print and frame because there are so many we love. We live far away, but I’m hoping that we can somehow have Nicole capture future moments in our lives because we loved working with her so much.

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kind and generous words! Reading this brings me right back to your fabulous and sentimental "English Garden" wedding day. What a joy it's been to know and work with you. I'm so grateful for the two of you!!

    Absolutely Lovely!

    I fell in love with Nicole’s work as soon as I saw it and then when I met her - virtually first - I just KNEW she was the one! Nicole was wonderful through the entire process. She is friendly, organized, poised, and her work is just stunning. Our photos (and album) allow us to keep reliving the moments from our day. She captured some of the most beautiful ones my husband and I missed that day too. We will treasure these photos forever and are so so grateful we chose Nicole and that she was able to spend our day with us. Great Grandma even commented how wonderful she was, which was the ultimate compliment!

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Thank you for such a beautiful review, Carolyn! It was a joy working with the two of you and your family. I will always treasure your wedding day on your family farm and just how special it was.

    Look no further!!

    What can I possibly say that hasn't already been said... Nicole was high on our list when we began searching for our wedding photographer and after our first phone call, there was no question that she was right for us. She was so incredible to work with from start to finish - warm, kind and thoughtful, reassuring and encouraging over phone and email. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable and planned out our day with ease. She kept us on schedule and checked in with us throughout the night so we didn't miss any important opportunities for additional shots. And she brought in a fantastic second photographer (Jarvis!

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Oh you guys are TOO sweet!! Your words have warmed by heart, just like your kindness has throughout this journey! I've loved spending time with you, meeting your families and of course photographing your gorgeous wedding day. I will never forget your vows, the views of the lake and how perfect your day was - I'm forever grateful that I was able to capture it all! xoxo!

    Book her!!

    Booking Nicole was hands down the best decision we could have made for our wedding. We live in DC, but got married in NY, and she absolutely kept me at ease every step of the way. She sent me a detailed minute to minute timeline for the day of and even asked for specific family combinations we wanted photographed so we didn't miss any photo ops.

    On top of being super organized and responsive, she is SO sweet and our photos are gorgeous. 10/10 would recommend.

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Aw Amber! You and Matt were such a joy to work with, a total dream couple! Thank you for your kind words and support xoxo!

    Best day ever!

    Omg, where do I begin! Nicole is the sweetest, most reliable and easiest person to work with. She made the whole process so smooth with outlining the timeline for the day and keeping everything on track. The whole family and the little ones loved her as well! Her and Jenna were so fun and creative, it just made our wedding day perfect. Can't wait to see the final product! Her work is unquestionably amazing.

    Thank you Nicole & Jenna!!! You made our day something truly special! :)

    - Ang & Wash

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Ang + Wash, you two are the absolute sweetest! It was such a joy to capture your beautiful day. I think I'm still recovering from all the fun we had! It's a day I'll never forget and always treasure. Thank you again for giving me the honor to photograph your wedding!

    I hired Nicole to do an in-home boudoir shoot after she shot the wedding of a best friend. First of all, she is SO sweet, and cool, and has effortless style. She's so fun to be around and makes everyone feel so comfortable. It was so easy scheduling my shoot, and she was super proactive about making sure that she understood the vibe / style I was going for. Very sweet bridal, elegant, classic. And she absolutely nailed it. She was patient and gave amazing direction - for someone who never thought they would strip down in front of a camera, she made it so fun. My photos are timeless and I recommend her 1,000 times over. Thank you Nicole, so so happy with my photos and can't wait to get them into an album :) xoxo

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Kristin! Nothing makes me happier than knowing you had such a wonderful experience with me! I loved working with you - it didn't even feel like work! You are beautiful inside and out, and it was such a joy to capture your beauty. I hope you treasure these photos forever! xo!

    Engagement/Wedding

    I really can’t say enough good things about Nicole. For starters, I felt like we became friends months before our wedding day even happened. For someone with some crazy self esteem issues, the thought of someone following me around all day with a camera was terrifying but Nicole was determined to make this a non issue. To get me comfortable with the camera and both my husband and I comfortable with Nicole in general, we met her for a mini shoot in the most adorable little park upstate and to no surprise the pictures came out amazing. It made me go into our wedding day with a whole new confidence I had never known before meeting Nicole. Our wedding day QUICKLY came and went and we just recently revived our final album and I literally feel like I’m scrolling through a Pinterest page, she simply could not have done anything differently. I love every single one of our pictures, some of which brought tears to my eyes. I feel like I’m going to be fishing for another excuse to need a photographer just so we can work with Nicole again. Did I mention she did our wedding very shortly after giving birth to the most precious baby boy?! Bottom line, Nicole’s AMAZING!!!

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Your words brought tears to MY eyes! You two are unbelievable and I just feel lucky to have met you and been a little part of your journey. I know that I'll be seeing and photographing you (and a growing family perhaps?!) again and I can't wait! All my love xoxo!

    This is a review for our Engagement session only, Nicole will be doing our wedding as well and I'll review that later.

    Even though it was 17 degrees and windy Nicole made our engagement shoot the most fun I've had in a while. I thought it was going to be so awkward and cheesy, but Nicole puts you at ease right away. She knows the angles and the shots that will work and makes sure to keep it really upbeat and low-pressure while working together. She is super efficient without making us feel rushed, and she listens to what you want while still having a ton of ideas of her own. Thank you for helping us capture these memories, Nicole. Cannot wait for the wedding!!!

    AMAZING Maternity Photos!

    It's rare to find someone who's kindness comes through in an email, but that's what I found with Nicole. Unfortunately, we didn't find her until a year after our wedding, but I contacted her for 1 year anniversary pictures, which were supposed to also serve as baby announcement pictures. Right before the session, we had to cancel for personal reasons and she was so understanding and kind; her genuine concern for us was evident in her communication. Fast forward a couple months and I contacted her again for maternity pictures. She was so excited that I had gotten in touch with her again and that she was able to document that special time in our lives. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy thing to do at 8 months pregnant) and the pictures were everything that I had hoped for. In combination with being a wonderful person, she is a fantastic photographer and is always willing to give suggestions on what to wear for sessions, how to pose and what shots would turn out beautifully. I highly recommend her to anyone that's looking for more than just another photographer (although she's great at that too!), but looking for a kind soul as well.

    Photographing you and your growing family has been a beautiful honor! Your words have touched my heart and I just feel lucky to have met and photographed you! I have so much love for your family! xoxo

    "The Joanna Gaines of photography!" Oh my goodness…how do I even begin to sing Nicole's praises!? Nicole is one of the most detail-oriented, patient, considerate, creative people I have ever been so lucky to have met. Long before I was engaged, I knew I would be booking her for every special life event. Nicole has photographed my engagement party, engagement photo session, bridal shower, wedding day, (and all TBD future events ha!). Thanks to her, I have the most beautiful memories from all of those special occasions. Her bright, classic, soft, airy photography-style produces the most gorgeous, romantic pictures! She truly is a natural photographer and SO much more! When working with Nicole, she would effortlessly provide such unique, creative ideas as if she were a wedding planner. You will be so happy to work with someone SO organized and on top of things! My wedding day went without a glitch because of her extensive timeline. Honestly, she made our wedding day and entire journey more special than we could’ve ever hoped for. Simply put, Nicole is a natural, perfectionist photographer with a laid-back approach and that is very hard to come by. My husband and I could never thank her enough for leaving us with photos that capture the most beautiful moments and memories that he and I get to share and smile about FOREVER! ///// Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicole! We love you SO much!!!

    Nicole DeTone Photography's reply:

    Joanna Gaines?! Best compliment I've ever received!! I cannot thank you enough for choosing me to document your most special day (and all of the beautiful days leading up to it)!! It was truly an honor and those are days I'll treasure forever! Thank you for this beautiful review - nothing makes me happier than knowing how happy YOU are and how in love you are with your photos. XO forever!!

    Nicole is fantastic! She super sweet and professional. She captured our wedding day perfectly! She was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding she seamlessly fit into our wedding day. She was always present, but never pushy or overbearing. She knew how to make my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. She's also a trooper. It was freezing, literally about 5 degrees out with a wind chill below zero degrees F. She knew we wanted snow shots, and I think also knew it would be a perfect backdrop. She froze her fingers off to capture perfect shots of us and our wedding party, and had a good sense of humor about it! She didn't complain, our wedding party did! She is not only a super talented photographer, but also an awesome person to work with. Highly recommend!

    Going to make this short and sweet. Nicole did an absolutley phenomenal job documenting our wedding day and honestly could not have asked for anything more! From the time we had our first meeting through the end of our night, we felt like she was an old friend. She took our vision and molded it into some truly amazing photos, perfectly capturing our special day. Nicole truly made us feel special every step of the way and we would recommend her to anyone! And we will also be using her in the future!

    Nicole did an AMAZING job capturing our wedding in October of last year. She's was professional but relaxed, understood and captured all that we wanted and more. There were moments that she caught and I didn't even know she was around! I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone and really appreciate the work she did in capturing our special day! Thank you Nicole!

    Honestly words can not express how amazing Nicole was. From the first email all the way to the delivery of the photos. My husband and I had an amazing time during our photo shoot. It really felt like we were long time friends with Nicole, and we were both very comfortable with her. She replies to questions in a timely manner. I can truly say that we will be using Nicole for our future photo shoots. It doesn't get any better than her!!

    I cannot talk enough about how much of an amazing photographer Nicole is and how happy I am that she was there on my wedding day. She was extremely professional but at the same time, it felt like she was a long time friend who I was excited to spend the day with. She blended into the craziness of the day, while capturing the most special and meaningful moments. Her assistant, Allison, was just as great, showing extreme talent with her pictures and moments captured on film, without the guys even knowing. From the very first meeting, Nicole was easy to talk to and fun to get to know. She helped us find ease during our engagement photo shoot and the outcome was beautiful. We are always getting compliments on our photos. Within days after the wedding, she sent us a sneak preview of some of our photos and we were blown away. While sitting in the sun on our honeymoon, my husband and I were able to look through these amazing photos and already relive the memories. I couldn’t stop looking at the pictures. Nicole has a wonderful eye and her photographers are exactly what I envisioned to have as lifelong reminders of the best day ever. The only problem we face now is that we need bigger walls to showcase all our favorite pictures!

    We had the most wonderful day with Nicole. From beginning to end, Nicole is more than a talented photographer. She is organized, thorough, so helpful, communicative, responsive and so incredibly thoughtful and sweet. She cared almost as much about our wedding day as we did! Her timelines and list of pictures to get was so helpful for us to stay on track and make sure we didn't miss anything. She has all of the right tricks up her sleeve for getting the most flattering angles too :)
    She was flexible throughout the day as certain plans tend to change a bit. She also did everything we asked for. I had seen some cool photos I had wanted to take and she made it happen. She listened, got to know us, cared about our day and became a friend.
    It made my experience as a bride so much easier when I was able to have confidence in Nicole, knowing that she would deliver and that's exactly what happened. We love, love, love our photos and all of the moments she captured.
    Nicole is a very gifted photographer. I enjoy looking at all of her work, not just our wedding photos! I look forward to following her in the years to come and hope to have her capture many more milestones in our life.
    Highly Highly recommend!

    Nicole and her team of photographers did an incredible job capturing my wedding day. She was professional, responsive and kind. My husband and I opted out of video so we knew our photos had to really capture the essence of our day. We were blown away at how great they came out. I will use nicole for all future events and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, thorough and professional photographer.

    I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my wedding. Nicole is one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever meet. She truly loves photography and loves love! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding. She pays attention to every little detail, makes you feel completely comfortable, listens to what you want and completely delivers. She got my husband and I our engagement photos quickly and they were beautiful. On the night of the wedding she had a slideshow of wedding photos we had taken earlier that day and the cutest little cards with our engagement photos on them for our guest to take home and view our online gallery. Perfect for a bride who wants to see some of her photos right away!! Nicole and her assistant were never in the way at the wedding while taking photos. They were silently in the background doing there job unnoticed. Nicole was nothing but helpful during the whole wedding process. She has an outstanding eye for details, location, position, lighting, outfits, etc. I would highly recommend Nicole Detone Photography!!

    Nicole was such a pleasure to work with. My fiance and I hired her for our engagement session photos and absolutely loved her creativity, flexibility and ideas for the shots. We ended up using one of our session photos for our save the date and received so much great feedback about the photo. We loved her attitude and true passion for what she does. We booked Nicole for our wedding as well and know she will do just as fantastic a job as she did for our engagement photos!

    My mother's one regret of my older brother's wedding was not having a photographer at the after rehearsal dinner. We hired Nicole and could not have been more pleased with the results. My mom was through the roof when we gave her a photo album full of the amazing photos Nicole captured throughout the night. Super professional and is honestly so much fun to be around. Will definitely be hiring her in the future.
