Noelle Thies

Wedding

Marissa + Dylan

- 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"

- 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.

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!"
