The Magic of Super 8
/
next
I believe that your wedding day should be a celebration of your love, not a production. I don't use light stands or cheesy poses. Instead, I capture your special day as it happens, making you feel comfortable and relaxed in the moment. I believe that the best moments are the real ones, and I strive to capture every authentic moment of your wedding day.
01. authenticity
Look, I've been there. On my wedding day, I could feel the tension in the air between photographers and videographers, and it was awkward. I've taken that experience to heart and I can tell you, I love connecting and working alongside photographers. It doubles the creativity on the wedding day. Plus, they are some of the coolest people I've ever met! Your photographer and videographer should work together, not against each other. It makes for such a smooth day.
02. collaboration
Your memories are precious to me. I am emotionally invested in capturing every moment of your special day, and I am always filming, even when there may not seem like much is going on. I understand that some of the sweetest moments can happen in a split second, and I don't want to miss anything.
03. precious memories
I believe that real moments are best captured in real time speed. I don't use excessive post-production slow-motion effects because I want your film to feel authentic and documentary-like. I want you to feel connected to the memories and emotions of your wedding day.
04. real moments captured in real speed
Above all, I believe that your wedding day is about you. After spending the day with you, I understand who you are as a couple, and I incorporate that into your film. Your film should reflect your vibe, and that's what I strive to capture. Let me create a wedding film that truly reflects the authenticity and beauty of your love story.
05. this is about you
What is raw footage?
Raw footage refers to the unedited video files recorded by the videographer's camera. While purchasing raw footage allows you to see every moment captured on camera, it's important to note that it may include some inconveniences, such as camera shakes, random movements, and moments with no clear purpose. However, if you're interested in a "behind the scenes" look, we offer the option to purchase raw footage. This includes all footage and audio from your wedding day on a USB.
What is a ceremony & toast edit?
The Ceremony and Toast Edit is a cinematic, edited version of your entire ceremony or reception speeches, with mastered audio and color grading. If you purchase raw footage, the ceremony and toast edit allows you to rewatch your ceremony and speeches in a polished, cinematic manner.
Do you travel?
Yes, I do! I charge a travel fee for destinations further than 100 miles from Morton, IL, to cover costs such as gas, mileage, and hotel expenses. If airfare is required, I can provide a customized quote.
When can I expect to get my film?
We try our best to deliver your film within 8-16 weeks after your wedding day. While we understand the excitement to see the final product, it's important to remember that we're human and that we have lives outside of editing. Rest assured that we'll keep you posted with a sneak peek on social media, and we guarantee that your film will be delivered no later than 6 months after your wedding day.
What if I need less than 6 hours of coverage?
If you're planning a smaller wedding or elopement, we can customize a package that meets your needs.

Seeing Nikki in her element is magical.
Meredith Washburn,
Wedding Photographer
“I met Nikki while photographing her and her husband in Colorado. We then got to work together at our first wedding - an amazing outdoor boho-chic wedding which was featured on Junebug Weddings - which was such an incredible experience. Seeing Nikki in her element is magical. Not only is she the sweetest, kindest, most lovable human on the planet, she is also just an absolute talent at her job.
Just the first little "sneak peek" preview she sent to me, I was in complete tears. She captures so much love! When the final wedding video was complete, I think I watched it 100 times (maybe more). SO impressed by Nikki in every single way. 10000000000000/10 stars please. I'd hire her in a heartbeat for any and every video job I'd ever need - plus she makes a freaking incredible pal. Hire her!”

Not only is she the sweetest, kindest, most lovable human on the planet, she is also just an absolute talent at her job... She captures so much love!

“Nikki filmed my wedding in November. She is very passionate and is incredible at what she does. She is such a sweetheart and is so fun to work with! If you are debating on whether or not to have a videographer for your wedding, trust me: you will NOT regret it.

I am forever grateful for her work on my wedding day and I will always have my wedding video to cherish the best day of my life. You will not be disappointed!”
