Nikole Velasco Photography, Austin TX

Nikole is the absolute best choice for an elopement photographer!
We decided to do an elopement wedding with our two dogs in the Texas Hill Country. We did not know exactly what to expect going into this, but she completely exceeded our expectations from the planning stages to our actual elopement day!
After filling out her initial questionnaires and getting to know her in the first stages of our elopement planning, we knew we made the right choice. She took everything we wanted into consideration and curated the ideal day for us. The locations that she recommended were places we had never been to before, but once we got there it was like she read our minds in selecting the perfect spots.
We didn’t meet Nikole in person until the morning of our wedding day and she made it feel like we were old friends in an instant. The day was extremely effortless on our part. We were able to just be present in the moment of our wedding day without stressing about anything.
When we received our sneak peek photos later in the week, our jaws literally dropped. The photos she captured are perfect for telling the story of our wedding day! It was amazing how well she captured all of our personalities in the photos - mine, my husbands, and even our dogs! Looking at the photos puts us right back in the memories of our wedding day and we will cherish them for a lifetime.
Thank you, Nikole!

We are so so glad we chose Nikole to capture our big day! We chose an elopement style morning hike just the two of us with a small ceremony with less than 20 people at the end of the day. Nikole was great to work with and was a great communicator from the time we booked her to making sure we were prepared going into the wedding day. She researched different hikes that would be good for our sunrise hike and helped us choose a hike and helped us create the timeline for our day. I was also super impressed and thankful she took the time to go through our hike beforehand to scope out the best spots for pictures and what time would be best for the sunrise. Her energy was beautiful and relaxing the whole day, and I loved that she ensured the focus of the day was on me and my husband and the love we shared and not the craziness of a wedding. She got us a sneak peak of over 100 pictures within a week of the wedding and they are all absolutely breathtaking and I'm obsessed with them! Not only is she great at her job, but she was also a great person to have be a part of our special day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer!
She also took our engagement photos which turned out beautifully as well!

Nikole made our an elopement such a magical experience. My husband and I never wanted a big wedding but instead wanted something more intimate that’s meant for the two of us. We stumbled upon nikoles website and fell in LOVE with her timeless photos. It was such a fun, beautiful experience and we will cherish our photos forever. Thank you Nikole, you’re amazing!
