Senior Lead Photographer

Nikolai

Quick on his feet with a goofy sense of humor, Nikolai has an innate sympathy for how his clients are feeling on camera. When not behind the lens, you’ll find Nikolai on his bike or in his community garden plot in Reston, VA.

Nikolai’s approach is fresh and natural, with a focus on genuine smiles, real moments, and classic portraits. He sees his job as putting the couple first and foremost, and lets his storytelling flow from there. With over a decade of experience in weddings, events, portraits, and the commercial sphere, Nikolai is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot.
