" We loved having Nakita as our wedding photographer. Communication was great and meeting before the big day was such a help to discuss what we wanted. Then during the wedding Nakita made both my husband and I feel so comfortable. Neither of us love photos but it was the perfect balance of letting us be ourselves while helping us pose. She was also great at getting candid shots during the whole day. Nakita blended in with our guests wonderfully - we didn’t even know she was there (in the nicest way possible!). Afterwards was got sneak peak photos back so quick and they were absolutely stunning. They were the exact style we wanted and completely blew our expectations. We were so happy that the day was captured so beautifully because it went by in a blur! And when the rest of the photos arrived, we were just as thrilled. Thank you so much Nakita! "
