Nellie M Photography

as a calming presence about her that makes you feel at ease. We chose a package that included engagement photos. We were a little nervous to get in front of the camera, but we decided to do those photos in our neighborhood in Philly. We ended up having so much fun that day getting to know Nellie and she made us feel comfortable from the start. We now have photos near some of our favorite spots that we will cherish forever. On our wedding day, Nellie brought that lovely calming presence we so appreciate. We got married at BOK which is a complex venue and we had quite big wedding parties. She handled the day with such ease and went above and beyond to document the day amidst the chaos. When we got our photos back, we were completely blown away! She captured the day perfectly and the photos are the perfect way to relive it! If you work with Nellie, just know she will capture the magic of any day. Can’t recommend her enough!

ing day she was responsive, accommodating, patient and so very attentive. Most importantly, her work is spectacular. She captured the fun, joyous, and sweet moments of our wedding so beautifully. We got to relive the day when going through the photos and also experience things we missed. All our guests have commented on how beautiful the photos are and how they captured the day so well. If you need a wedding photographer in the greater Philly area, Nellie is the one you want!

while also upholding a schedule and boundaries! We had a minor emergency the day of our wedding and Nellie and her second shooter (Kristen) handled it with grace and poise. Thank you Nellie!

and I really got to know Nellie upfront during our engagement photo session. She made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. What we thought may have been awkward poses came through the pictures as completely natural and we loved how the photoshoot came out. We walked away from the session feeling very confident that we picked the right photographer for our wedding. On the morning of our wedding, Nellie was a true force in making sure the timeline went as smoothly as possible even if there were hiccups that caused some delays leading up to the ceremony. Thanks to her, the ceremony started on time! We constantly received compliments about Nellie during the wedding and in the days after We fully trusted Nellie 100% and she did an exceptional job on the big day. Every photo she took was stunning and we cannot stop looking at them all. Lastly, Nellie was also very easy to get in contact with throughout the entire process. My husband and I 100% recommend Nellie to anyone. Thank you so much for all you did, Nellie!

ward selves into magical photos to capture our special day. The detailed approach she took ensured she recorded everything we were looking for, but she still blended into the background for candid photos during the reception. Could not recommend more highly!

mera. She took the time to understand what was important to my husband and me and our families on our wedding day, and her photos far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Nellie photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and so perfectly captured candid moments as they unfolded, as well as beautiful posed and detail shots. Nellie is so sweet, and has such a calming presence which is important on your wedding day! I couldn’t more highly recommend Nellie as a wedding photographer, you will not regret it!

ment and wedding photos that we love. We immediately felt comfortable with her when we met and her photography is stunning.

ids and genuine moments, which is what we were looking for. If you're searching to book someone for wedding or other event, you don't need to look further!!

losest friends here in Philly. These pictures are a treasure and means so much to our family who were at the ceremony and those oversees who couldn't make it. (My grandma couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the photos were!) Nellie's amazing at her craft, she was able to capture all the emotions of that night. Thank you so much, we're forever grateful!

be a bit awkward in photos but Nellie has a very calm and relaxing way about her that puts you at ease. She is respectful, professional and talented. Our wedding day was VERY long, but Nellie and her partner we are able to capture incredible shots, and stayed on point for the entire event. We absolutely love our photos and have received so many compliments from family and guests. At this point I cannot imagine having worked with anyone else.

ery candid way without feeling and do not feel artificial or posed at all. I cannot recommend her enough!

k the time to understand what we wanted and was so kind, lovely, and accommodating - we had to move our wedding date due to COVID and she made everything super easy with regards to that. Personally and professionally Nellie was amazing - she felt like part of the wedding and was such a joy to work with. I can’t recommend her photographer skills enough - you will not be disappointed!

. She captured our entire day perfectly. But her kindness and character sets her apart. Nellie really got to know us and what was important for our wedding and family and that truly meant the world to us and it comes through in our pictures. So many vendors seem to be commercialized and the personal connection with Nellie made our day feel so relaxed and fun, which were two important things we wanted for our day! If you want someone kind, professional, responsive, and easy to work with, reach out to Nellie!

't until I got a few absolutely raving recommendations from other Philly friends that I found Nellie! My (now husband) and I aren't always the most comfortable behind the camera and weren't sure if we'd actually have fun doing an engagement shoot. It was under 20 degrees in January and we had the time of our lives with Nellie! Nellie isn't super pose-oriented and that really allows you to be in the moment with your partner, which makes for the most beautiful photos! Jumping ahead to the wedding day, Nellie once again far exceeded all expectations. She did not miss a single shot or moment that we mentioned was important to us, was on time, well prepared, and as always, so kind! Her second shooter Lauren also did an exceptional job, and was so funny and friendly! Nellie was very flexible with us as well. The morning of our wedding day, I told her I wasn't sure I still wanted to do our late night sparkler photos with the bridal party. She checked in with us at the reception and we decided to skip them since everyone was busy having a blast! But the best part- after our bridesmaid photos were wrapped up before the ceremony, I mentioned how it probably would have been super cute to do a first look with my dad. She made it happen, with about 2 minutes notice! That is one of the most treasured memories I have from my wedding day and it would have never happened without Nellie. We are beyond impressed with her professionalism, the quality of her work, and the prompt turn around time. We count ourselves SO lucky that we got to work with Nellie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for spectacular wedding photos!

my brother and future sister in law. Through my whole wedding/COVID/rescheduling situation she was so pleasant, kind and responsive. On the day of the 2021 wedding, Nellie and her team were incredible. They captured the most amazing pictures that are both classic and relevant at the same time. They gave clear direction and were very nice to work with. My husband and I love candids and they got so many great ones. Nellie provided the pictures timely (same week as events we got a preview then got the full album a couple weeks later). I cannot recommend Nellie enough!

how much she loves what she does. Her calm energy made us at ease during our most intimate moments, where we felt that we could really be ourselves with her. The photos themselves blew us away. I'm pretty sure I've looked at them everyday since she delivered them to us because they are just so beautiful. She captured the day in such totality, showing so many raw emotions that it made me question if we even needed our videographer (booked through a different company). If I had no other footage of our wedding day, Nellie's photos would have been more than enough. She even delivered far more than we were expecting. We are just so incredibly grateful for her and her work, and are thrilled that these are the photos we get to look back on for years to come. Thank you Nellie!!

s were affordable and she worked with us in creating a payment schedule that worked for us both. I highly recommend Nellie for any wedding or special event photography needs!!!

me out of your session to really get to know the couple that she's photographing and what type of vision we have in mind, as well as asking where our venue is and what color scheme we will be using. My then fiance and I felt super comfortable with her and she is extremely accommodating and organized. She was even able to take pictures of us with our puppy before our wedding started. If there's one thing you need to do for your wedding, let it be to hire Nellie! You won't regret it!

like me. I worried about not one thing with Nellie around. She showed up early, kept the videographer in line (he was a little...off), and even stayed past her booked time to take some photos of our guests dancing. We got married in a catholic church with a full traditional ceremony and she captured some of the most beautiful pictures at the ceremony without even being noticed! The portraits were some of my most cherished lasting memories from the day. I am so thankful for Nellie and would recommend her to anyone at all for an amazing experience with even more amazing photos to prove it.

ture our wedding day. She went above and beyond making sure all the photos I wanted were taken, plus much more. She delivered our photos in a timely manner and they came out better than I could have imagined. From capturing the formal portraits to candids with our friends and family, Nellie was able to capture it all. In addition to our wedding, Nellie had also taken our engagement photos which I have gotten nothing but compliments on. Nellie really worked with us to make sure she was capturing our vision for both the engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend using Nellie as your photographer, you will not regret it!

s laugh, showed us how to pose, and made sure the photos were what we liked and wanted. She was a great communicator and even drove out of her way for our session! Her pictures are stunning, and her turnaround is fast! We will definitely be using her in the future. YOU SHOULD TOO!

combination of professional and personal! Nellie makes you feel super relaxed and gives you as much direction as you need depending on your comfort level. Also, we love love love how she captures each of the photos and also focuses on small fleeting details of our natural interactions and busy behind-the-scene moments. She brings out the colors of the photos and carefully edits each one so that they are perfect. Highly recommend!

was very warm and caring, and also very organized and timely, all while making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. It's clear that she truly enjoys what she is doing. I cannot recommend Nellie enough!

We just received our photos and we are so in love! she really was able to capture all of our special moments. I love that we could download all of our photos with ease. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!!

h our decision to book her. Not only did she capture hundreds of drop-dead-gorgeous photographs, but she was also a joy to have with us during our special day. Wedding vendors come in many varieties, and for my husband and me, it was important to have a photographer who was fun and easygoing, but who also understood what we were looking for and would help keep us all on schedule. Nellie took the time to get to know what was important to us and how we wanted the day captured- and boy, did she over-deliver! All of our photos were beautiful. She didn’t encourage us to do stiff or awkward poses, and it’s easy to see that everyone felt comfortable, happy, and relaxed. We wanted a lot of candid shots as well, and she was able to stunningly capture fun, interesting parts of our day that we would have otherwise missed. I’m truly having difficulty picking photos to frame! As an added bonus, she smoothly helped us out when our videographer was a little too in our face, which we were so thankful for! Bottom line: Nellie is amazing. You’ll get gorgeous photos, and she’ll send you copies of all of them with no amount limit (which is not common!). Book her, it'll be the best decision you make!

good, but amazing photos Nellie got of our wedding day! It is hard to decide which ones to print, and may very well just have to print them all! We met with Nellie once before our wedding and she was very helpful in talking us through thinking about what pictures we must get at our wedding and helping finalize the timeline of our day so we had enough time for photos and were still able to feel relaxed. Nellie brought Tommy as her second photographer to shoot with her on the day of our wedding and they were both amazing. They were very personable, professional, and fun to work with. They also worked very well with our videographers. We had a little flower girl, ring bearer, and a very active German Shorthaired Pointer in our wedding and they captured such fun moments, not just of those cute people and our dog, but of people’s reactions to these moments. I couldn’t recommend her more!

ep colors and joyful moments that were more natural. From a logistics standpoint, she was willing to provide a few pictures early when we needed them for a family member and our thank you note without any issue. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!!

r wedding day and did her best to make us feel comfortable being photographed all day long. The end result are beautiful photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I was so anxious about choosing the right photographer that we would feel comfortable with on our Wedding Day and would provide high quality photos we would look back on for years to come, and Nellie delivered. Also, her second shooter Colleen, was just as professional and easy to work with as Nellie was. Nellie far exceeded my expectations, you won't be disappointed with her services!

. We could not be happier that we chose Nellie! She took the time to understand not only what we wanted from our photographer but also what family dynamics were important to keep in mind as the day progressed (my husband's parents had a nasty divorce). Beyond preparing for and exceeding our expectations on the big day, when we received our prints, we were thrilled to relive the moments through her artistic eye. If Nellie is available for your wedding day, there should be no question - book her!

o end she was aware and capturing the most important moments. Looking back, we couldn't have picked a better and more aware photographer. We feel so fortunate to have so many beautiful moments captured. She immortalized the best day of our lives in a way no other could. THANK YOU NELLIE!!

hing my husband and I could've hoped for. We had a New Years Eve Wedding which isn't the easiest to navigate through for photo ops in Philadelphia, but she put in extra hours the week of our big day and scouted out the areas near our venue and church to capture the perfect shots while not wasting the day stuck in traffic. Our photos bring a tear to my eye whenever we view them because it truly captures the love that filled our special day. We also had a marathon day as our party went on well past midnight given it was a holiday, and not once did Nellie let up with her photos and making sure everything was captured from start to finish. Nellie tailored her services to fit our budget perfectly, and the finished product greatly exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Nellie to all brides and grooms as she puts you at ease on such a big day and provides you with memories that last a lifetime.
