Hi, I'm Nichole!
Documentary Photography
That Tells Your Story
I’m the face behind the camera and the heart of Maryse Photography. Based in Manhattan, KS and servicing Nebraska, Kansas, and beyond, I specialize in documentary wedding photography that’s candid, romantic, and timeless, capturing the real emotions, unscripted moments, and personal details that make your day unforgettable. While weddings are at the center of my work, I also love photographing cap & gown, family, and portrait sessions that document every milestone and celebration in life.
I'm 25, a K-State alum, a cat person, and a Taylor Swift fan since I was six. I've considered myself a photographer since I was 15 years old and started my business when I was 20. I've always been passionate about storytelling and I strive to capture a glimpse of every day's natural beauty with every photo I take.
I'm so excited to see what we can create together!

I cannot recommend Nichole enough! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our sessions and was very intentional with the information and picture inspiration that she got from us in order to make sure that the key shots we wanted on our big day were captured.
Not only did she take beautiful, structured photos, but her attention to detail and eye for creativity gave us so many gorgeous details shots and candid shots of ourselves, our day, and our guests. Looking through our gallery after our wedding was like reliving the day but even better because Nichole captured so many moments that we didn't get to see.
I had a wonderful experience getting my photos done by Maryse Photography! I loved every photo I received, received them in a timely manner, was easy to communicate with, and overall was the best experience I could of asked for. Would definitely book again!

Nichole has taken our pictures since day one — from portraits in high school for fun, to engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, newborn, and now family pictures. We will continue to use Nichole for years to come! Not to mention she includes a FULL gallery and is so quick to send the sneak peeks. I recommend her to everyone!

Nichole did such a fantastic job! She made everything super easy and she captured a special day so beautifully! The turn around time on the pictures was also incredibly fast! I got first look pictures same day and the remaining the next! In all she got me almost 400 edited pictures in less than two days! She’s awesome!!

Nichole has done both of my senior photo sessions, my maternity shoot, my engagement shoot and in September will also be photographing my wedding!! I can’t recommend her enough! She captures the most beautiful moments throughout the session (and even some goofy ones). They are absolutely perfect. If you’re looking for a photographer for pretty much anything Maryse Photography is the way to go!!!!

Nichole is an absolutely amazing photographer! She delivered so many beautiful senior pictures that I will cherish forever. If you need a photographer for ANYTHING, she is your girl! She even got some amazing pictures of my dog that I will look at long after he is gone.
