NICOLA BORLAND PHOTOGRAPHY FOREVER AND A DAY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A LIFETIME

From the moment I “borrowed” my dad’s camera I knew I was onto something special. Seeing the colors and emotions I could capture was the perfect precursor to my career today.

Through years of photography college courses and life experiences from travelling the world to moving countries from Scotland to America, a camera was never far away, and my love of capturing memorable moments for others ultimately led me to my career as a wedding photographer. After all, what day requires capturing more color and emotions than your wedding?

In business for over six years, when I’m not caring for three energetic pups, hanging with my friends, or finding a new culinary hidden treasure, I nurture my business goals by continuing my photography education, and learning as much as I can about the ins and outs of being a business owner and entrepreneur. My goal as your photographer is to create stunning art, of your family, for display in your home, and keepsakes to last a lifetime.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you, and creating the beautiful photography that will become your family’s treasured heirlooms for generations to come.

Embrace the now moments, forever.

Yours, Nicola “We wanted a casual, stress free wedding and Nicola totally respected that. She treated me like a real friend, and made all the “necessary” photo moments fun and easy. She made us and our wedding party feel at ease. The resulting images are priceless, and when I look at them I feel the magic all over again. Thanks for making my day amazing, Nicola! ” - Mrs. Ali Peterson Your WEDDING DAY PHOTO TIMELINE A wedding is a whirlwind of events, gone in the blink of an eye.

Though I was stiff and awkward being the subject at hand, Nicola’s coaching and sense of humor helped me feel at ease in front of the camera, and I was gifted with the most amazing photos I have ever had taken of myself, and my loved ones. These are memories that are renewed each time I look at the images, and that I will cherish for decades to come.” -Mrs. Kimberlee Bafus NICOLA BORLAND PHOTOGRAPHY Capturing The Beauty In You
