Fancy This Photography

Fancy This Photography founder Nikki Whitt Belch’s goal is to capture the essence of a couple and to tell human stories with heart, creativity and confidence through images that are full of emotion. Nikki is experienced photographing in any lighting situation, indoor or out, and she has a warm personality providing a lively and heartfelt energy to every celebration. She can bring sweet or sultry to the surface and her work was even featured on the cover of our 2026 issue!

One of Nikki’s greatest strengths is bringing out the best in couples. She’s also built a team of delightful partner photographers who are trained to capture your day perfectly.

“When I got married, my first concern with hiring a photographer is that they understood the fun and unique side of me and my husband, and could capture that,” Nikki says. “At Fancy This Photography, we want the same thing for you.”

“Our wedding clients are modern romantics. They value experiences over perfection, substance over trends – they’re emotionally present, deeply in love, and drawn to honest, artful documentation,” Nikki says. Couples trust Fancy This Photography’s creative vision and are looking for a photographer who provides a calm, confident presence on the big day, whether that couple is planning an intimate elopement or a thoughtfully curated celebration. 

Nikki believes couples are looking for “editorial-style imagery that still feels true to them, a photographer who can gently guide without over-directing and a storytelling approach rooted in feeling and art.”
