Cottonwood Studios Photographer | About

We’re Kari and Caleb Nichols. We met in 2006 and opened our business together in 2007, and we’ve been telling other couples’ love stories ever since. We’re wedding, portrait, and headshot photographers in NYC, but we have EU work visas so we legally work in the EU as well! We often find ourselves in France, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. We’re both addicted to getting tattoos. Kari currently has five. Caleb has a paltry four. However, we’re both planning our full sleeves for the future…We spend our free time reading books, playing video games, or re-watching our favorite series—Chef’s Table, Breaking Bad, and Stranger Things top the list.
We love coffee more than we should. We’re obsessed with wine… particularly Grenache-Syrah blends as well as Pinot Gris from the Alsace region of France. We can't wait to hear about your wedding plans!
