I've traveled the country and world but still live right in Lake Placid

Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Nick for my engagement pictures. You can tell he loves what he does while still being professional. We had a sit down meeting so he could get to know my fiancé and I a little bit, this made the process easier and less awkward as we felt we knew Nick. He is easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of, takes the time to make sure the photos are what you want them to be. He is willing to get down on the ground the get “that shot”. We can’t recommend Nick enough!

Testimonials

Nicholas was great. Friendly, on time, and took some beautiful photographs of my wonderful wedding day. He has a good eye and isn’t all up in your face. We requested that he try to capture organic moments as opposed to creating too many posed pictures and he fully understood what we were going for. If you are planning a wedding in the Adirondacks his knowledge of the area is very useful from tips on where to go for food and fun to his ability to locate places off the beaten path!!

Nicholas did a fantastic job as our officiant. In communication with us he put together the perfect ceremony message and delivered it exactly to our needs.

Testimonials

My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the work Nick did for us as our officiant. Nick delivered in spades, he tailored his speech to our tastes, incorporated our stories and kept my husband, myself and our families relaxed and chuckling our way through the ceremony. It was an excellent experience from beginning to end. He was professional, adaptable, and went out of his way to make our experience as low stress as possible (Goodness knows anyone planning a wedding could use a dose or two of that energy).


He has our thanks and an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone in need of an officiant.
