New Orleans based wedding photographer, Lance Nicoll on why he has been drawn to Wedding Photography.
I started Nicoll’s Wedding Photography about 4 years ago now, I had been shooting events periodically but my main focus as a photographer was with black and white film and fine art starting a family tends to change perspective and motivation, haha as I’m sure all parents find.
But, over the past 4 years I’ve really fallen in love, not with the camera or the gear, but with the people. I find myself really shocked at how I continually become wrapped up in the stories of my clients. The people I have the opportunity to work with are truly a blessing. You would think that after shooting a certain number of weddings it would start to change, but there I am each weekend getting “something in my eye” during father of the bride toasts and first dances. There I am each week, laughing, smiling, sometimes even getting a little teary eyed as I edit and relive the day.
I find the biggest importance in the smallest of moments. I enjoy and feel blessed to experience those hundreds of tiny joys, emotions, and happy tears that come with one of the most celebrated and culminating days in someone’s life.
I’ve been really humbled over the first few years to be selected to the Best of Weddings from The Knot and a Grace Ormonde Platinum Vendor, and I hope to continue to grow throughout the entirety of my photography life. I am also overwhelmingly appreciative of my wife who does so much to support me and my number one fan, our 3 year old daughter, who regularly assures me that, “that’s a pretty picture” while I’m editing.
