From New York to Ibiza, no wedding is too far

So many pictures were captured, but not once did I feel uncomfortable or felt like a camera was being shoved in my face, they were so kind and caring, and just cracked on.

Where do we start with these two? Let’s start at the beginning, back in 2015 one of my closest friend’s got married. Steve and I were looking into getting married, but hadn’t even started the ball rolling, until those pictures! When we looked at the first few of my friend’s wedding, we knew they were the one for the job, somehow they caught my friend and how I know her in just one picture. How do they do that? Capturing someone’s personality in a photo? Well they did and that is what we wanted. After we’d looked through all the photos of her wedding, we messaged Nick and Nicci, if they fancied a little jaunt to New York. I was extremely apprehensive about asking them, because they are family people and they have two little boys who they adore. But we asked and we had a phone call with the both of them. To say they were excited was an understatement, they were over the moon! But more than that they were so keen to help with our ideas and plans to make them the best possible for us as a couple. They don’t just do this as a job, they live and breathe it. Nothing is too small for them to help put you at ease for your one and only ‘Big Day’. We met several times over the years to help create a bond between us, and to be honest, they aren’t just our photographers, they are our friends. You know when you want things to be perfect, but you know things will go wrong on the day, so you always have that in the back of your mind. But Nick and Nicci blow those doubts away when they are so enthusiastic about making your day, the most epic ever! Our family and friends all flew out in June 2018 to watch Steve and I get married in New York. We met up with Nick and Nicci the day before to scope out our route. Having 3355 miles between your home and wedding venue is a bit tricky to scope it out a few weeks before! But nothing was too much trouble for the two of them. They saw opportunities for potential shots for the next day and were so focused and professional at getting things right for us. The day of the wedding started very early, they rocked up to the Bridal suite smart and ready for our long day ahead! So many pictures were captured, but not once did I feel uncomfortable or felt like a camera was being shoved in my face, they were so kind and caring, and just cracked on. They visited Steve’s room to take shots with him, brought him food I’d sent for him, took dresses across the hotel. Nick and Nicci did anything to make our day easy. Nick’s amazing idea, was to get a shot of Steve and I, holding hands around a corner, before we actually met. On our scope out the day before, he saw an opportunity with the Oculus building, having Steve hide in one of the white partitions, while my Father brought me to Steve and placed our hands together. I cried my little heart out. My Father then took me back to the hotel, where Nick and Steve went to another location for the big reveal. As Steve and I wouldn’t have the typical ‘walk down the aisle’ at City Hall, we wanted to have our ‘First look’ alone. Nicci and I walked to a location not far away from City Hall, where Steve and I were to meet. I felt so alone and scared, but Nicci was so comforting to me. She made me feel like a million dollars and calmed my nerves away. Having our moment together was so special and the photos that they got, you cannot describe. They capture all our emotions, our hearts, are just captured in such a wonderful and beautiful moment. That only felt like Steve and I were there. After the ‘First Look’, we then went to get married! By chance we managed to meet up with the Bridal party who were making their way to City Hall by foot. The photos, wow!!! We look like the Beetles from the Abbey Road shoot!! The Ceremony only took about an hour, regards to registering, waiting in line and actually getting married, but the shots we have from there, the candid ones, the ones where we’re just excited to get married, sharing with our nearest and dearest, are just so loving and wonderful. None part of our party felt conscious that Nick and Nicci were there, we were all just relaxed, and the photos show that. After we got married we all trailed to Brooklyn bridge for the usual ‘family poses’. My grandma wasn’t well, and the heat of New York didn’t make it any better. But Nick suggested we take the photos with her in first, so she could get out of the sun. The photos, you can’t tell one bit how fast things went. But no one was made to feel like they were rushed and not made to feel special. Everyone got their shot in, and some more funny ad hoc ones, to make everyone feel part of the day. When all those shots were taken everyone else was left to their own devices while Steve, Nick and Nicci and I went on the Subway to get up to the Flat Iron Building. This is where the real magic happened and Nick and Nicci lead the way! We had booked a limo for the day, where we could roam around New York taking pictures like the celebrities they made us feel like. Nothing was too small for them to do for us, from carrying our extra pair of shoes around, to making sure we had water in the incredible heat! Nick and Nicci were awesome at just making our day easy and stress free. Obviously, with the heat, we flagged at times, but Nick and Nicci kept with us, knowing what photos we wanted to have for years to come. We finally finished shooting at about 4:00PM and then all went back to our rooms to get ready for the evening meal together with our guests. Nick and Nicci were at the venue first, taking pictures of the little details, but somehow or another the venue hadn’t put out our favours and place names. I was in a flap, but Nick and Nicci took the bull by the horns, stopped everyone coming in and started to take the most beautiful photos of our guests outside. No one was any the wiser. And you know when I said about things not going to plan, it really didn’t matter. I am someone who likes control and for that to go wrong, I was so mad. But it didn’t matter. Nick and Nicci’s magic made me lose my anger, and the mistake added to the day. The photos are worth my little tiny bit of stress! There was the usual speeches and toasts at the venue that Nick and Nicci of course captured to a T! The emotion that was running high through the day was captured in every single moment, by a photo. We even had an impromptu dancefloor where Nick and Nicci just got back up again and shot the few minuets we had dancing, epically. We were lucky, because we had Nick and Nicci the following evening too. Where we donned our wedding gear again to get those last final shots to make our wedding larger-than-life! They again carried all our stuff to freshen up and change shoes and we headed to the other side of Brooklyn Bridge to capture the nightfall amongst the New York skyline. WOW! Those shots though. We went to Times Square again, where Nick kindly asked the police if they minded starring in our wedding, which they did. Nothing was too little or too big for Nick and Nicci. After our trip to New York we went round the US on our honeymoon, and every other day we had a little snippet of our day posted to our Facebook. It was amazing that we could have a little preview before we got our USB. But after all that big trip and all that excitement, you know you’re in for a low point. That build up for nearly two years to suddenly then stop, it’s a bit of a come down. But then, you get your little package arriving in the post where all your dreams come true are held in these just stunning, epic, amazing, wonderful photos we have forever. A story told in photos, not a video. Where all your family and friends who weren’t even there can live your fairy tale again. I can’t make you choose Photogenick. But I can tell you how amazing they make every single person they meet, feel. How you don’t just choose a person to take these photos. You choose two crazy people passionate about their craft and their life, who make your day the most wonderful day of your life. If we could do it all again tomorrow, we would. Thank you Nick and Nicci, #bigupthenewyorkmassive
