I’m Nina,

Photographer, mom, wife, movie enthusiast, picky eater, indoorsy, crafter, and your biggest cheerleader! For 14 years I’ve had the pleasure of capturing some of the biggest moments in my client’s lives. I really love getting to know each couple and letting their personalities show through in the photographs I capture, making each wedding, or portrait session unique.

“Why would you wanna marry me, anyhow?”
“So I can kiss you anytime I want.” Sweet Home Alabama

On your wedding day, I am here for YOU! If you’re stressed, I want to ease it.  If you need the tags cut off your dress, guess what? I always have little scissors on me. At this point I’ve photographed over 400 weddings in my career and have definitely learned a lot along the way. I would love to hear your story and celebrate your special day with you!

  • Not only is Nina an amazing photographer but she’s a fantastic person as well. My family has been so blessed by the fun and gorgeous pictures she has taken for us. She always makes pictures so fun and makes us feel comfortable. From family to Wedding photos she’s my Go-To!Amanda Tornello

  • Nina is a wizard with a camera! She has been a joy to work with for every occasion from high school graduation to engagement photos. She has a knack for capturing each subject in their natural element, while producing photographs that far exceeded any expectations.Caleb Helsley

  • My husband and I hate having our picture taken, but Nina set us at ease and made our engagement photo experience fun. She was creative and quickly captured natural, radiant shots that I thought were not within reach for two people typically uncomfortable in front of the lens. It was a given that we would use her again for the  wedding - and she over-delivered. We will cherish the photos Nina has done for us for the rest of time!Kaitlin Jones

  • Stop searching for a photographer RIGHT NOW and hire Nina Chappel. She did an AMAZING job with my elopement and made me feel like the most beautiful bride there ever was. For someone who is a bit insecure about getting their picture taken, Nina made me feel like a supermodel. Also helps that she's a star wars fan like we are 💗Sarah Alter
