Woven by Nicole is operated by Nicole Jecentho, a photographer and visual storyteller weaving magic in the far north of New Zealand. She specializes in fine art wedding, maternity, and lifestyle photography throughout locations in Northland including Kaitaia, Mangonui, Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, Whangarei, and beyond. Nicole’s work is an expression of what she is most passionate about: storytelling, adventure, and art. She’s inspired by movement, shape, and light, creating pieces that are more than just traditional photos—they are pieces of art, moments frozen in time, capturing the essence of your day in still frames.
For weddings, Nicole provides full day storytelling photography, weaving together not only the important moments but also the less significant yet lovely in-between moments—the breathers where no one is watching, the winks, the quiet tears, the sneaky kisses, and those epic dance moves. She wants her work to be natural, unhurried, and seamless, telling your whole story without restricting her creative process with time limits. Nicole’s approach covers everything from getting ready to dancing, whether you choose a first look or traditional format, with in-depth consultation and location scouting sessions included.
For lifestyle photography including bump, family, couple, and lifestyle shoots, Nicole treats all sessions the same with a loose timeframe averaging one to two hours depending on variables. She likes to see how things unfold so the process is unhurried, natural, and fun. If kids need a break, she takes a break; if the lighting is epic, she might stay a little longer. Nicole chooses the best lighting, scouts epic locations, and gets really artistic with shoots. Her work as art means she doesn’t restrict the amount of images she sends—there are no hidden costs and she provides all beautiful images in online galleries with high-resolution files ready to print or share.
