Fred from Nordly’s Photography did an amazing job with my surprise engagement photos. I inquired here on Thumbtack and he responded almost immediately, I let him know the date I was hoping to propose and we developed a solid plan during the first phone call. A few days before the planned date, he sent over some info for the day of which really helped me execute everything we talked about. I really appreciate his professionalism throughout the entire process! On the day of the proposal everything worked out as we had planned and my fiancé had no idea! Fred was very kind and patient during the actual shoot and was also nice enough to pick up some roses and champagne last minute which made a really nice touch to the proposal! I highly recommend his services, the actual photos came out beautiful (even though the weather wasn’t as nice as we had hoped). My surprise proposal ended up being one of the best days of my life and I couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of Fred from Nordly’s Photography!

Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Artful composition and lighting • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • Ability to purchase prints online • My home, venue, etc.

Great shooting experience. Fred did an excellent job engaging my toddler and accommodating my last minute photo session request. He found the perfect spot on a gloomy, rainy day. He’s an extremely passionate and professional photographer. The pictures are beautiful and of great quality. I highly recommend Nordlys Photography.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location

This was my first experience with a photographer and working with Fred @ Nordlys was an amazing experience. He guided me through the entire process and helped quell any nerves I was having. He gave us direction when needed and also let us be ourselves as well. And on top of that, the photos that he delivered were outstanding. Thanks Fred! Thanks for making our proposal a memorable one. Riddhi and Parth <3

Our photographer Fredrik was exceptional. He was very patient and took beautiful pictures that captured the essence of the celebration. He was accommodating to our group, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. His high energy added a fun and lively atmosphere to the event. From the very beginning, he was a pleasure to work with, making the entire experience enjoyable and smooth. His communication was great too. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for this special occasion. Thank you for your amazing work!
