"Nicole was absolutely with out a doubt amazing!! As an elopement planner and photographer!! During the planning process, we hit several severe bumps with the vendor and roads getting washed out. Nicole was very responsive with alternative locations and vendor suggestions. During the actual day, it went so smoothly besides a bear breaking into a car 😂. She kept everything on schedule and kept me very calm! Book her services, you will not regret it!"
