My name is Nicole Wagner  and I’m an adventure wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley region of New York.  I’m a nature lover, wanderer, and adventure seeker. Incorporating these things in with a great love story is what I’m all about! I also serve such locations as New York City, Westchester, The Catskills, Northern New Jersey, the New Jersey Shore, the Poconos, Northeast Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and am available for destination weddings. I love capturing  sophisticated, romantic images and do my best to stay away from anything cheesy! Adventurous locations such as mountaintops and waterfalls make my heart sing. I’m drawn to using light in unique ways to make dramatic portraits using both natural and artificial lighting to do so. I want your wedding photographs to be creative pieces of art that you are a part of! A photojournalist approach is used to capture the natural emotions and moments that unfold best when you aren’t paying attention to a camera in the room. For portraits, it’s necessary to give a lot of direction to keep couples looking their best and most importantly relaxed in their wedding and engagement photos. Even though guidance is given, my goal is to capture candid looking photos. I believe in having a relationship with my clients and genuinely care about them and their day. I enjoy shooting at a variety of venues from elegant weddings held at a historic mansion or estate to rustic barn weddings and intimate backyard nuptials. Planning an elopement out in nature? Yes please! Every property offers its own unique beauty and interesting sites to explore. I truly enjoy my job so much! Looking forward to documenting your story!
