Nikki Santerre is fiercely devoted to capturing and preserving relationships through fine art photography, bespoke heirlooms, and written documentaries-- curating tangible memoirs and legacies of hope and love to be passed onto future generations. She travels across the country documenting artisan-crafted wedding days, taking a limited number of wedding commissions per year in order to create an intimate luxury experience for each of her couples. After struggling with infertility for five years, Nikki realized her heart for motherhood and her passion for serving mothers. She then shifted her focus to serving mothers and creating motherhood portraiture rather than wedding clients exclusively. She found the medium that inspires her the most to create this kind of evocative imagery is film, which opened the door to developing her unique style, workflow, and client experience as a Hybrid photographer.

7 Reviews for Nikki Santerre
We first got to hang out with Nikki during our engagement shoot. She came early to scope out the best hidden spots in Old Town Alexandria and the best lighting. We had a frantic afternoon and almost missed our session (missing cat crisis averted) and Nikki instantly put us at ease behind the camera. Nikki gets a mix of formal and informal moments that just felt like they effortlessly captured our personality as a couple. My husband is a bit shy behind a camera and felt entirely at ease with Nikki.
Nikki’s mix of mediums is absolutely priceless. She shot film, digital, and disposable film for our wedding day, which really allows us to lean into a variety of aesthetics. We wanted organic, cozy photos that emanated warmth and we got that and so much more. Nikki captures the gorgeous posed moments and all the moments in between. I also definitely had some artistic vision photos and we absolutely surpassed my expectations. Having her capture our rehearsal dinner was the best bonus and allowed us to document so many more memories.
Nikki constantly over delivers. Getting us previews in record time that allowed us to relive some of our favorite moments merely days later. On top of all of this Nikki is just a true joy to be around and the team she surrounds herself with is no exception. If you’ve read this far, I hope it’s clear to work with Nikki if you know what’s good for your wedding photos.
