Nicholas did a wonderful job on our wedding photos. Some of our guests were very impressed that he shot on film too! His sense of framing is impeccable. You can't go wrong having him shoot your wedding - recommended strongly, and without hesitation or reservation.

Nick was a joy to have photograph our wedding. He managed to capture incredible portraits and so many fun candids at our 300-person Indian wedding. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a photographer in Charleston.

I had SEVERAL of my guests come up to me and saw how impressed they were with Nick’s ability to be on the side of the action while capturing great moments.
Nick is also a joy to work with, with a very easy going personality. Highly recommend!

We truly had the best experience working with Nicolas Gore and his team from start to finish! We wanted a photography that would capture the photos that we wanted with a focus on taking just the necessary ones so that we could enjoy our day and be in the moment. We got married at The William Aiken House in Charleston, SC. This was a destination wedding for us so without knowing the venue too well, he was able to capture the beauty of it all and our special day! The editing style and aesthetic was also what helped me in deciding on Nicholas Gore in the first place which turned out to be wonderfully how we expected. Overall, beautiful and well edited photos of our special day!

10/10 recommend hiring Nicholas Gore Weddings for your wedding! We truly cannot say enough how great it was working with Nick! From his portfolio, we knew how talented he was, but I really could not have expected how seamless and lighthearted he made the whole process. As two people who typically aren't comfortable in front of the camera, my husband and I had an absolute blast on our wedding day and never felt like we were stuck in an endless photoshoot. Nick perfectly captured the joy and fun of the day and every special moment in-between. We will cherish these photos and memories forever!

From start to finish, our experience with Nick and his team was wonderful. He is super focused, and we could tell during our wedding day he has extensive knowledge of wedding photography, and photography in general. He is super kind, warm, friendly and was excellent when directing us to pose certain ways for all the shots. He knows what the best shots are going to be and guided us the whole time- we didn't have to request or do anything. He took complete charge and ownership of the whole process and that is exactly what we wanted for our wedding day.
Not to mention his quality of work is outstanding. They are real peices of art, and that is ultimately why we chose to work with Nick in the first place. Cant recommend him enough :)
Best,
Claudia & Mike

Nicholas and Cushla (his wife) were absolutely amazing to work with for both our engagement shoot and our wedding! My now husband and I were not used to being in front of a camera, but Nicholas and Cushla are both extremely genuine people who my husband and I loved talking to and getting to know. Being able to talk with them during the shoot and having their guidance made taking pictures a very fun experience for us. They also could not have made things simpler on the day of. The two of them were capturing all of the shots while my husband and I enjoyed the day with our loved ones. Our time away from our guests was extremely limited, but I have no doubt that they were able to perfectly capture our day!!

My husband and I chose Nick as our wedding photographer for his creativity and style, and he did not disappoint! From our engagement shoot to our amazing wedding photos that didn't miss any moment, the experience could not have been better. You will feel like you're working with an old friend - Nick is easygoing but efficient, grabbing so many great shots while you feel like you've barely even posed! I would recommend him time and time again.
