About Map and Compass Photography

Nicole Thomson

Photographer + Guide

I'm Nicole, an intimate wedding, destination, and elopement photographer passionate about capturing your story, personality, and vision. I hate productions and going through the motions. I invest in you and capture your day true to you!

I had a prior 7-year career in the tech industry managing people and processes, which comes in handy as I support you in the planning process and on the day of your wedding! I'm the calm in the storm, directing and making decisions that are necessary while allowing you to enjoy the day to the fullest. I was also trained in film photography, so capturing your personality and story in a unique way is incredibly important to me.

NICOLE IS THE BEST
•Verified review

Nicole was SUCH an asset to my wedding day -- from her smooth communication, to her vast knowledge of different photography (and Super 8) styles. I cannot recommend Nicole and her whole team enough. Her personality is calm, cool, and casual, while still holding herself to the utmost level of professionalism. She is extremely communicative and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. She knew what I wanted before I even expressed my wishes. I know my wedding experience would not be the same without her. PLEASE book the Map and Compass Photography and Silver Thistle Events package. ALL my friends were raving about the whole team. 100000/10!!
Wonderful photography and wonderful person!

From the moment we came across Nicoles photography we knew we wanted to have her as our photographer for our engagement photos and our elopement.Her photography is amazing but also, her attention to detail and support went a BEYOND what we expected. She sent us helpful guides for planning our elopement, was very communicative through the whole process and most importantly genuinely supported what we wanted for our special day and took the time to understand what that was. We felt like we had a friend with us all day! We enjoyed her company and she made us feel so comfortable. Nicole was very adamant that these photos should show who we are as a couple and should feel natural and unposed and that is exactly what we received. We are so happy with our photos and our experience with Nicole. We are looking forward to hanging our photos around our home, sharing them with friends and cherishing them for a lifetime! If you are looking for a photographer who is passionate about her work and truly cares about you and your day, Nicole is the best choice! We hope to have her capture more memories for us in the future.

Working alongside Nicole is always a total joy. She is collaborative, kind, encouraging, creative and personable. She feels like a friend who just picked up a camera and started documenting the day for you. She isn't all about "her shots" or the industry trends, she is first and foremost an advocate for meaningful, memorable celebrations, and is deeply in tune with the vision of her couples. She has an eye for detail and each photo is equally candid in emotion and composed like art. Her knowledge and expertise far exceeds many other photographers in the industry and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking to elope or host an intimate wedding that feels completely true to them.
