Hey, I’m Nicki

 

Hey, I’m Nicki

 

SHE/HER

If a shit tonne of laughs and genuine moments is your vibe, then I’m your gal!

If a shit tonne of laughs and genuine moments is your vibe, then I’m your gal!

Oi oi you loved up bunch! Thanks for dropping by. If you’ve got a minute or two, pour yourself a drink and have a read to find out what you’ll be letting yourself in for if you book me!

I went through many a job before getting to photography… I was an ice marshal, a lifeguard, an auxiliary nurse, bar staff, airline assistant (and so on)… told ya I’ve done a fair bit! I wasn’t running around with a camera as a kid, so there’s no cutesy story there but I’ve made up for it since I have picked one up and I am more than happy to run around with one now!

Over 15 years in and I’m still mad about you lot and your weddings. Like, can’t get enough of you! I’m all over being your hype girl all day, haven’t got an issue with being a taxi for friends or fixing dresses or cleaning up broken glass from the dance floor! Basically, if it helps you out, keeps you chilled and doesn’t make me miss some epic moments, I’m there for it.

I’m loud (when appropriate obvs!), I may drop the odd swear word (soz), I’m not a formal dresser (but won’t rock up in my sweats) and I love a shit joke! Candid, natural shots are my go to style. I’ll happily do some group shots but I’ll make sure they’re full of giggles. I pretty much make myself one of your guests, so I fit right in and get the best shots of you and your rabble.

I celebrate ALL love. Queer, non binary, straight, couples, throuples, you name it. If you’re saying I do, I wanna be a part of it. No judgement, just love. Nerdy, sexy, romantic, outrageous, shy, rebellious… whatever vibe you bring, I’ll match.

“Ask for forgiveness, not for permission”

I’m a rebel and a lover with ninja skills behind a camera. I generally ask for forgiveness rather than permission when it comes to getting an epic shot for you. I don’t do overly posed, cringey kinda stuff, not my bag! I once got called a professional perv… took it as a huge compliment as they were referring to the fact that I got paid to take shots of people without being seen and was nailing the brief! I love tattoos and change my hair, a lot… boredom sets in and a new style happens… so I won’t be offended if you don’t say hi to me in the street as I often look different!

I live with my silver fox hubby who loves music and jumping out of perfectly good planes for fun, our two energetic and extremely loud boys (don’t know who they get that from) and our ginger dogs, Ronald and Shai. We are the house that hosts the parties, has the sleep overs and organises get togethers because we love being active and social (and I clearly like cleaning the house ten times a week!).

I’m sponsored by Enola Gaye (big deal here peeps!) – world famous smoke grenades… something to shout about right! But it’s not just me that gets to whoop whoop… you can too! You can get 10% off your order when you buy your smokes from www.enolagaye.com… use the code killerfiller10.

A Few Facts about me

Yeah, I got guilty pleasures and bad habits like the rest of us…

Fries dipped in strawberry milkshake are heaven

Tea and coffee fuel me! A big mug of builders tea or a hazelnut latte are my go to’s.

I love a good night out. What’s not so good is the video evidence that often surfaces afterwards… who kept ordering the drinks, not me!

I can’t lie… I’m a lover of quiet nights in too! Cosy blanket, crap on the telly and a bar of chocolate!

Mice and rats scare the living shit out of me. I once jumped on the bonnet of a car to get away from one!

My go to pose for a picture is tongue out or fingers up. I don’t do formal well!

I can only cross one eye, not both! It’s an attractive look!

I class myself as multi-lingual – I can say ‘hello, my name is Nicki’ in French and German! Counts right?!

Our first dance was to Pink, then immediately after we had a dance off to Run-D.M.C!

“We couldn’t be happier, just fucking excellent!”

If you want a photographer who feels like a mate you've invited along that gets everyone having fun infront of the camera... Nicki is your gal!

-Danielle & Connor

Where did you learn those ninja skills because we didn't see you some times during the day yet you captured everything, everywhere!

-Hannah and Leigha

Everything looks so natural right down to the big belly laughs. You were an absolute rockstar, even just helping us out with things on the day and felt like part of our gang. You are so incredibly talented, it's sickening.

Nicki Shea is your woman… best bloody day!
