Spokane Wedding Photographer
Hello! My name is Zach Nichols. I am a local wedding photographer living in Spokane who specializes in candid outdoor elopement and wedding photography. The photos I take stand out and have the power to elicit feelings and emotions for months, and even years, after they were originally taken.
As my client, you are my top priority. I want you to have the absolute best experience which is why I have built my company around two principles: integrity and simplicity. My wedding packages are designed with you in mind. Thank you for taking the time to view my website and I look forward to working with you.
My Wedding Photography Style
I am different than most other wedding photographers in Spokane. Before I took wedding photos, I was (and still am) an outdoor enthusiast and travel photographer. Let me tell you, I absolutely love weddings and the outdoors and when I get to combine the two, it is pure magic. If your wedding is in the outdoors and you want the absolute best elopement photographer, look no further. I also have very extensive experience with taking photos in low light at indoor venues so don’t let this deter you. Your photos will look incredible, no matter the circumstance or venue.
When taking photos, I love to keep things very candid and fun. There is nothing like candid smiles and laughter. If you don’t feel comfortable having photos taken, then you are NOT alone. This is something I hear from 9/10 of my clients and I promise you it will be no issue! I have worked with so many people and make sure that no photo looks or feels awkward. There is a reason I have so many great reviews from my clients. If you would like to see more of my wedding photos, go see my full wedding portfolio and be sure to check out my information and pricing!

Of all wedding vendors, I was pickiest about the photographer. But as soon as I came across Zach’s website and met him in person, I knew he was our guy. He has an incredible eye for capturing beautiful candid shots, and spotting unique backdrops in any location. He is super creative and will look for a way to go beyond your standard (in my opinion boring) family and couple portraits to deliver truly gorgeous images.”
