CATHOLIC ASSOCIATE WEDDINGS FROM SUMMER OF 2025 ALL SHOT BY NIKAYLA & CO. ASSOCIATES.
WHAT IS A NIKAYLA & CO. ASSOCIATE?
Nikayla & Co has a number of associate photographers and videographers on the team who are ready to serve you wherever you’re getting married. They are spread out all over the country and have been trained to shoot in the Nikayla & Co. style. If you’re looking for someone who knows the mass forward & backward and is zealous about their faith, they’ve got that down too. Having an associate team allows us the chance to do more weddings in a weekend, serve more clients at all different budgets, and connect with truly amazing individuals & couples. Here are just some of our summer associate weddings!
EMILY & ADAM
Emily and Adam’s wedding was at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their colors were peach and blue, which were perfectly complemented by the gorgeous peach color of St. Charles. The reception was at 21st Century Bank Event Center with so many good, thoughtful speeches followed by a very packed dance floor.

CARLY & NICK
Carly and Nick were married at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (where I live!). I always love it when my team can get photos of the guys getting ready as well as the girls before the ceremony because it just makes the couples wedding gallery feel that much more complete. After their beautiful wedding mass, they took some pictures at a local park and made their way to the reception at Holiday Inn Downtown. They played the newlywed game, had a cash grab game, and Nick washed Carly and her daughter’s feet.

MCKENNA & SAM
McKenna and Sam were married at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Wisconsin. This bride also wore her grandmother’s pearl necklace. The stained glass at St. John’s is so beautiful and I’m really glad my team got a photo of McKenna and Sam standing in front of it! Their reception was at Granite Peak and Sam even grabbed the photographer when he went outside with his groomsmen for a cigar.

BAILEY & JEAN CARLO
Bailey and Jean Carlo were married at the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul where Bailey’s grandparents lived across the street and they even donated money to put in the stained glass window of the Eucharist right above the altar. They got ready at the venue where their reception is held and if you’re in their area I heavily, heavily recommend considering it. Not only did Buffalo Ridge Resort have an indoor area for an intimate dinner, they also had a beautiful space outside for cocktail hour and their dance.
