Alyssa + Lucas were so much fun to spend the day with – and I truly mean it because we actually spent the entire day together […]

Wedding

Alyssa + Lucas – Diablo Lake + Downtown Seattle Engagement

In January of this year, DJ, our team photographer, captured one of the most cinematic sessions in Chicago. We both still post about it to this day because of how effortless and fun Meghan + John were to work with! If you haven’t followed DJ yet, please do check out her about page on NTCo. […]

Noelle Thies

Wedding

Meghan + John – Lincoln Park + Fourth Presbyterian Engagement

- Molly + Brent

Noelle was AMAZING and exceeded any expectations I had for a photographer. Not only did her photos blow us away, but she went above and beyond helping us coordinate our wedding day schedule and itinerary (which was invaluable!). In addition to being easy to work with, she provided us with a sneak peak of our day in less than 24 hours! I could not recommend Noelle enough. You will not be disappointed if you book her for your special day.

"I could not recommend Noelle enough. You will not be disappointed if you book her"

- Emma & Skylar

She captured how Skyler looks at me when I don’t know it, she captured true laughter and happiness, and most importantly she captured the love that pours from our very being when we’re with each other.

"When I opened the gallery I started crying because Noelle captured everything"

- Fallyn + Justin

If you're getting married, hire Noelle as your photographer! Noelle is amazing to work with in every way imaginable. She's highly skilled, professional, the ultimate hype woman, and just an all around great person. My husband and I loved working with her on our wedding day and during the wedding planning process, and our photos are absolutely perfect! We can't say enough good things about Noelle and her work

"if you're getting married, hire noelle as your photographer!"
