This way to learn more
Hi there! I’m Nikki, the heart behind Nicole April Photography, and I’m so happy you’re here. Whether you’re newly engaged or just beginning your search for the perfect Upstate New York wedding photographer, I hope you can feel the love, joy, and connection behind every image I create.
Weddings have always been my passion. Long before I ever picked up a camera, I actually studied to become a wedding planner — but once I discovered photography, everything changed. I fell completely in love with capturing real, emotional moments — the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet in-between glances — and I knew I had found my purpose.

Head back
As an award-winning wedding photographer based in Upstate New York, I pour my heart into every wedding I photograph. My goal is to create timeless, heartfelt images that reflect the beauty of your love story and allow you to relive your wedding day again and again. Every couple is unique, and I approach each celebration with care, creativity, and genuine excitement.
Outside of photography, I’m a wife to my best friend, Ken, and a proud “hockey mom” to our four amazing boys. Family is everything to me, and that balance is what keeps my work fresh and inspired. Because of that, I only photograph a limited number of weddings each month — typically two or three — so that I can give every couple the personalized attention they deserve.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your day with authenticity, artistry, and heart — I’d love to connect and hear all about your wedding plans!

Nicole was incredible from beginning to end! Nicole documented the best day of our lives exactly how I wanted! She has a great eye for natural colors and lighting which is what we wanted so we were very pleased :) if that’s the style you’re going for, you won’t regret working with Nicole!

Nicole is a rare find in a photographer. She is so funny, she had us laughing all day long - both purposely for photos but also just her personality had us feeling so light and silly. She also gives such incredible attention and direction. She knew exactly how she wanted us to pose or what to do and she was incredible at telling us what she wanted us to do. She’s developed a beautiful hobby that she is insanely talented at.
- Brenda & Jim
Nikki was truly amazing to work with. We were nervous because my husband and I are not photogenic, but Nikki worked her magic and the photos came out fantastic! Nikki is relatable, will adjust to your needs, and make you feel completely at ease for your photos.
