I'm just a simple gal adventuring all over the place capturing amazing love stories! I have been documenting weddings for over a decade and truly love what I do. I'm from Southern CA, home base is currently in CO, and AZ is my second home. I am a huge sucker for anything Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (nerds unite!). I absolutely love the outdoors and sunset lighting makes me weak in the knees. If you want to hike for that engagement session or want to elope in a redwood forest, I’m there. Traveling has been a big part of my life and the only state I have not visited is Alaska...destination weddings, I'm looking at you!
This is my life's work and I am passionate about what I do. My goal as a photographer is to not only authentically capture your story in a natural way but to also create fine art; that you will cherish and treasure for years to come.

"Nicole was absolutely amazing, and I would hire her over and over. Not only did our photography turn out absolutely stunning (so many friends complimented), but she was extremely communicative, got every shot I needed, has the sweetest personality, and so considerate that she even gave me her hydration packet when I felt overheated (over 100 degrees in a ballgown haha). I’m so beyond happy with everything she gave us and would immediately recommend her to everyone. "

Gretchen + Tommy
From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, professional, and incredibly communicative with both the bridal party and our families. She helped us capture moments we would have never thought to ask for, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Nicole made sure that every key moment was covered from start to finish- ceremony, reception, and the after-party that lasted well into the evening. Her ability to read the room and know exactly what to capture at each moment was astonishing- especially because we didn’t know every detail of what to ask for. Her intuitiveness, creativity, and beautiful eye for photography are so evident in every shot we received back. We are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

"I cannot rave enough about Nicole’s work. We chatted multiple times prior to the wedding so that all plans were in place. Where I fell short of ideas she came through with remarkable suggestions. On the big day she was nothing short of professional and fun! She is a pleasure to work with from start to finish. To say I’m blown away by how they turned out is an understatement. They are absolutely amazing!!!! "

"The photographs turned out beautifully.
It's clear that she didn't just look attentive during our meetings, but that she was taking everything we said about what we wanted from our wedding photographs very much to heart. They turned out perfectly!
Just what I had imagined."

"Nicole deserves more than just a 5 star. She was absolutely amazing. Her personality was so welcoming & fun. It felt like we had been friends forever from the first time I met her all the way to our wedding day a year & a half later. It really felt like she cared about all the small, silly details we wanted & really loved her job. We would hire her a million times over!"

"Partnering with Nicole for our wedding photography was easily the best decision we made relating to our wedding, hands down. She is so down to earth, fun to work with, very kind, knowledgeable, and extremely artistic!! We were so grateful to have an experienced photographer who knew exactly where to be every step of the way. You can count on her to capture each and every special moment of your wedding"

Brooke + Dan
My wife and I reached out to Nicole right away after booking our venue & it’s been a dream since day one. She was very quick to respond & after our first meeting we felt so relaxed knowing she was taking care of everything like talking to the venue & setting up timeline. On wedding day it was like meeting up with a friend to take pictures. We got our pictures exactly when promise & we were blown away by how amazing they were. Friends & family are still telling us how great they turned out. We are definitely buying so many prints because they really do HAVE to be shown off."

"Hands down Nicole is just plain amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and was so wonderful and patient during our wedding day! She spent the whole day with us and captured every moment big and small perfectly!! Looking at our stunning photos filled us with as much joy as the actual day. Her attention to detail and ability to capture moments in a way that feels authentic and real rather than posed is amazing!"

We do offer hourly coverage for elopements and courthouse weddings. The beautiful thing about weddings is that they are all unique.
Please email me for more info:
hello@nicolehenshaw.com
Do you offer hourly coverage for weddings?
Absolutely. I am based out of Colorado but travel frequently throughout the year to California & Arizona. We also travel for international weddings. I have no additional travel fees. What you see is what you get!
Will you travel for our wedding?
Most people really don’t understand this question. Think of RAW files as the uncooked steak of your dinner. A RAW file is not an image and you would be unable to view it without the correct program. When you chose me as a photographer, you are also selecting my artistic vision. I edit the RAW file into an image & intend each image to be a piece of art.
Will we receive all the RAW files?
No, every image you receive is edited in my signature style, the same look that drew you to my work in the first place. This ensures your gallery is polished, cohesive, and a true reflection of the artistry you booked me for. I do not offer alternate versions or styles outside my portfolio examples.
Can you edit our photos in a different style or match other images we’ve seen?
Once I receive your inquiry, we will schedule a phone call or video chat about your wedding in more detail. A 25% non-refundable retainer and a signed contract are then due to reserve your date! I cannot hold ANY dates without the signed contract and retainer.
How do we book you for our wedding?
If I am still available for your new date, then of course. However, the retainer is non-refundable and used to reserve your date. Because I turned down inquiries for your previous date, a new retainer would be required for the new date.
Is it okay if we paid our retainer and decide to change our wedding date?
You betcha! If your venue requires a certificate of insurance, just say the word!
Do you have liability insurance?
Your images will be posted within one month of your session. For weddings, please allow 8-10 weeks. I also provide a sneak peek within 5 days from your wedding/session.
When can we view our pictures in the gallery?
I am currently based in Colorado, but travel frequently to California & Arizona. I will capture your wedding or elopement wherever your heart desires. Be it in a redwood forest, up on the mountaintops of the Cascades, by a waterfall in Iceland, or on a tropical beach in Hawaii with your closest friends and family. This is one of the most important days of your life, let's make it an adventure.
