Documentary with a romantic eye. Photographs you can feel.

NAMED ONE OF 20 FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHERS ON HEARTFUL MAGAZINE’S 2025 ONE TO WATCH LIST, SELECTED FROM MORE THAN 10,000 SUBMISSIONS

Andrea Nuxoll photographs weddings, families, and motherhood — splitting her time between Portland, Oregon and Omaha, Nebraska. With 15 years of experience shooting both film and digital, her work centers on real connection — images clients have called poetry.

25 of her images have been selected for PhotoVogue, 8 as Best of PhotoVogue honorees. Her work has also won Gold at the Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards and been selected for international exhibitions, including the Ostuni Foto Festival in Italy.

“Her wedding photos look like something I’d expect to see in a gallery or museum space. They’re documentarian in nature with a focus on capturing the relationship(s) between the subjects. Its hard to balance your individual style with a job that’s so heavily centered around the client’s wants when those wants are often fueled by what’s trendy. Andrea has managed to maintain a unique creative identity that just isn’t present in most of the wedding photographer’s portfolios we’ve come across.”

Aubrey
"Not only does Andrea take such beautiful pictures, but she really takes the time to understand the essence of who she’s working with. She captured so many precious moments for me and my son, and I can’t recommend her enough."

Taylor
"I can’t say enough good things about Andrea! First of all, you couldn’t ask for a more calm and fun presence on your wedding day. Second of all, she is an ARTIST. She truly captured what our wedding day felt like; I don’t know how to describe it but looking through the gallery made me feel like I was back there! She also nailed the vibe we were hoping for. Of all the choices we made for our wedding, she’s the best and we’re so grateful for her time and talent!"

Katherine
"I’ve worked with Andrea over the past 10 years. I’ve seen her grow from a good photographer with a camera, to a photographer that sees people, light, and space in a way that’s truly an art form. She’s humble, and wants the best for her clients. Her approach is gentle and graceful and her images are ones that I come back to time and time again."

Raisa
"I'm so glad we decided to put our trust in Andrea. Our photos came out so beautiful, authentic, and unique. She knows how to direct people when needed, but she's also great at just capturing the day as it unfolds with a sharp eye for composition and emotion. Andrea is truly gifted. Plus she's just a kind and lovely person which makes it easy to be comfortable in front of her lens."

Jasmine
"Having followed Andrea's work for years, choosing our wedding photographer was a no brainer. She exudes warmth both online and in person, and meeting her felt like reconnecting with a longtime friend. Andrea captured the quiet calm of the morning, the laughter, the tears, the candid moments where we were absolute dorks. Our guests came up to us all night telling us how wonderful our photographer was — she notices those small moments that go otherwise overlooked and let the day unfold in the most honest way. Her photos speak for themselves, and we will cherish these memories forever!"

Kelly
"Andrea is a master at her craft. She took our wedding photos, and her ability to fly under the radar but also be everywhere at once it’s truly impressive. This skill made it so she was able to authentically capture so many precious and real moments. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the photos we got back! In addition to all of that, she was incredibly professional and kind."

Katelyn
"Saying that I highly recommend Andrea is not enough to express how good of an experience we had with her. We hired Andrea to photograph our wedding, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Not only was the quality of the photos amazing, but she managed to capture so many moments during our wedding. We have so many beautiful pictures reminding us of the wonderful memories of the event, friends, and family. Andrea was also just such a wonderful person to work with. Having her around was just like having another guest at the event; our friends and family loved her!"

Pedro
"I've followed Andrea and her body of work for a few years now, and when the opportunity arrived to photograph our maternity shoot, she was the first person I thought of. We couldn't be happier with how the shoot went, and cherish the moments she was able to capture! Andrea has an incredible talent and delicate touch in capturing these little moments that you will look back on for years to come. She made being in front of a camera so easy and calm, any nervousness quickly disappeared. She's easy-going, friendly and graceful, all while being professional. We're so grateful for all of the photo's and look forward to future shoots as our family grows!"

Dennis
"Andrea's work is top shelf. Her ability to capture decisive moments, emotion, and texture is fantastic. She is communicative, kind, and personable. My wife and I are so thrilled with all of the images she delivered us from our big day, as well as the experience of working with her throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

Stephen
"Andrea is not only an incredible photographer but a kind and genuine educator. She's highly regarded in the Nebraska creative community!"

Victoria
A year later and I'm still swooning over the photographs Andrea artfully and thoughtfully made from my wedding in Sicily. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process of planning wedding photography, including traveling to another country while juggling a busy photographer schedule. She was enthusiastic about everything I requested, and her presence was so important when I think back to that day. We are beyond lucky to have had her with us. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
