MEET NIKITA
Hello, I'm Nikita and I am the photographer and creative vision behind Nico and Tate.
Being based in Manchester, UK, where I live, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience a range of diverse cultures, traditions and people, which ultimately inspired a desire to travel and experience the UK and the world, which quickly turned into a passion. My Anglo-Indian heritage sparked a curiosity in culture from an early age, which ultimately harnessed my passion in not just experiencing culture but understanding it too.
Having worked in the fashion industry for over 8 years, I’ve naturally developed a style of shooting which lends itself to an editorial and artistic feel. Through this style, I love to create authentic, natural and honest images which document those real-life moments in an elegant and timeless manner.
I love to work alongside clients who have an eye for style, art and design. I create my best work knowing I have the trust of my clients to express the creative vision required to document those precious moments and important details in their purest visual form. I’ll always aim to be as discreet as possible, allowing you to soak up the experience of the day whilst enabling me to capture the unique essence of the day naturally.
My aim is to capture the beauty, joy and intimacy of you, your guests and the day as a whole. It’s important to me that you relax and enjoy the experience whilst I create the memories you look back on in time, allowing you to relive the moments that made your day so special.
Client Testimonials
“Nikita was incredible. From the moment we were arranging the shoot to the moment of us recieving the link to the beautiful photographs. She even managed to make my shy boyfriend enjoy the shoot! Nikita had a clear plan and a few locations planned, which made everything go very smooth and we got so much more in short time than I ever thought was possible. The pictures came out so beautiful. They are very natural, and the feeling and mood of the shoot was so well captured. Separate compliment on the delivery of the images, found it very easy to work the gallery, save and share images. So happy with the results. Ordering them in print already!”

“Shooting with Nico and Tate was the perfect blend of fun, relaxed and professional. Initially a little nervous, she made me feel incredibly relaxed whilst having my portrait taken. Her attention to detail and incredible eye for capturing the true essence of the environment is clear to see.
It was a wholly enjoyable and confidence boosting day. I highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer to provide authentic and professional images and an all round great experience.”

“Waiting for your wedding photographs to arrive is such a spine-tingling experience spent anticipating if all those special moments you hoped were caught on camera, Nico and Tate did not disappoint. When our photographs landed in our inbox we were ecstatic! By the time we had finished viewing our wedding gallery, not only did we fall in love with all of the intimate moments captured which we had planned prior but also the images in the spur of the moment, making our album completely bespoke. It was lovely to have those surprise additions.”
— KIA AND MIKE WILLIAMS, SCHOOL TEACHER
“Working with Nico and Tate was a dream! Her expertise with the camera and vision for capturing the perfect frames, coupled with her sweet and positive personality made me feel so at ease and relaxed. I didn't have to worry about how I looked or anything. Nikita made me feel empowered and free to just be me and have fun with my baby! I couldn't believe the shots when I got them back, she had captured little magical moments I didn't even know had happened. So grateful for these, I will cherish them forever.”
