Nichole Taylor Photography bio picture
  • Hi! I’m Nichole. :)

    Spelled with an "h".

    I love 80s music. It makes life better.

    I love movies, even if I am a little picky about them. Have you seen Wristcutters: A Love Story? You should. :)

    There is not much in life better than the woods in the fall - especially back east. Intense coloured leaves plus crisp air and sunshine... paradise.

    My cat is so dope.

    I was educated in chemistry. Now I prefer to capture chemistry between people with my camera.

    My favourite thing about photography is those moments when I can feel the love in front of my lens. It's magic to be able to see emotion caught forever in a photograph. I strive to capture the love story of every one of my clients. A couple in love, parent and child, friend and friend. Everywhere you look in this life there is love. And that is beautiful. It looks good on everyone. That's how I know every person I photograph is beautiful. I see it in their love.

Caitlin and Dustin – one more thing…

I realized in my last post I showed zero pictures of the gorgeous Caitlin with her gorgeous eyes open.  Must remedy!  So here she is folks!  I swear I take pictures with eyes open! :D

Caitlin and Dustin – Couple’s Portrait session in Victoria, BC

I am excited to start updating regularly to get caught up on all the awesome weddings and families and couple’s shoots i have been doing.  Life has been busier than ever and I am loving every minute of it!

So to start – last time I blogged it was a family session in October.  So fun!  Shortly after this, I headed off to Indianapolis for an incredible workshop with my favourite photographers in the world – Bobbi + Mike.  It was awesome, I was so nervous!  But they could not have been better people and the workshop was so inspiring. The photographers there were touched on a deep level and changed forever.  I can’t say eough good stuff about it.

This brings us to Caitlin and Dustin.  This was my first session (albeit a mini session) after the workshop, and in these photos I can see the difference.  Maybe you can, maybe you cannot, but one thing I think is abundantly clear – these two were so in love, so good-looking, and really fun to be aroundt.  Thanks Caitlin and Dustin!!!

Absolutely love these Nichole! Fantastic lighting. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store to show us. :)

Fall Family mini sessions

Hooray!  I am finally bloggingsome family shots from back in October 2011.  I had an idea to do some family mini sessions, and was excited my friend Tracy was on board.  The sessions booked up very fast, the weather was unbelievable gorgeous, and we had a great time!  Here are some of the “best of” from the families I shot that day.  Tracy, who is far better at blogging than me (can you say award winning blog?) blogged her families back in the fall.  Can’t wait to do this again!!  I had a blast.  It was definitely invigorating and I have to thank ALL the families who came out for the sessions! It was definitely hard to narrow it down to a few to post.

Fannnnnnntastic work Niki. You for sure are a master at doing this. Keep it up sweetie.

Sarah and Ian’s Amazing Vancouver Island Wedding!

This wedding capped my wedding season in the best way possible.  What a fantastic wedding! These two are so in love… and they have the CUTEST little daughter Jessica… wow, so perfect!  The most difficult part of this wedding was trying to limit the number of pictures to put in this post.:D  Be warned there are many.  But this wedding was full of amazingness.  Including my amazing second shooter for the day, Deanna McCollum!

Introducing little Jessica!  Look at Sarah and Jessica’s faces! You can tell how much they love each other.

I can’t handle all the cuteness!  Jessica was a flower girl during the ceremony (one of three little cuties).  Hence the cutie pie dress!

Hot tamale bride and hot tamale bridesmaids to boot!

One of my FAVOURITE moments of the wedding.  This was Ian’s face as he saw his daughter come down the aisle as a flower girl.  Ian is so genuine.  He lives in the moment.  You could see the love on his face and in his eyes.  He welled up a little bit more when he saw Sarah come down the aisle.  It was difficult for me to hold it together too.  But great to be a part of!

“Hi daddy!”  You can see Jessica stealing the hearts of the whole crowd

If you have not already fallen in love with this couple, take a look at this.  Another favourite of mine.  I love this shot because every face in this photo is full of joy!  I feel like the luckiest person in the world to get such awesome clients!

Sarah… such a stunningly beautiful bride.

You can see how much he loves her.  I love that.

Sarah and Ian had their wedding at the Brentwood Bay College School.  Definitely a new venue for me, but a really beautiful place.

Oh thank you beautiful late October weather!  Didn’t expect you but it was sure nice of you to show up!

Sarah and Ian had such a west coast style wedding, including water bottles as favours, plants in recycled tin cans, saplings as favours, and a tree theme throughout!  Every table was named after a tree you can find locally.

And their first dance was to “Your Song” by Elton John.  This couple is so cool!

And last but not least… you see, Ian is a rock star.  For real.  He and his band (that included some groomsmen and the MC) got on their kick ass stage they had at the reception and played a set of songs.  They were soooo good!  In fact, Ian even recorded two songs before the wedding that were played during the ceremony.  This party was outstanding.  Ian’s band was phenomenal, and so was the other band they hired for the night.

I hope to blog their photobooth soon… also too good!  Thank you SO much Sarah and Ian!  I had a blast with both of you! Much love!

Great work, Nichole! I LOVE that shot after the bride’s father walked her down the aisle.

Deanna - January 2, 2012 - 8:42 am

It as an amazing wedding! With an amazing couple. Such a fun group. You captured their day perfectly. You are a blast to work with.

Tina - January 2, 2012 - 12:49 pm

I am constantly amazed every day at the amount of talent in your people. It is a priviledge to be associated with you! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Nicole and Reuven’s Victoria Wedding

 

Oh, I loved this wedding! Nicole and Reuven were so lovely.  There was so much emotion on this day, it was hard not to cry myself!  There was the love of the couple and the love of their friends and family… and the hand of fate was also on their side!  After a rainy start to the day, the clouds parted just in time for the photo session.  The leaves were so alive with colour.  It was October 22 and what a most perfect wedding day it was.  And I believe things turned out so well because it was so genuine.  Thank you so very much Nicole and Reuven for letting me be a part of your gorgeous day!

Special thanks to Tracy Risinger for second shooting for me!!

Nicole, you are absolutely stunning and you have killer legs!

Model pose!
