Patience & Dimitrios
Orthodox weddings have a rhythm and depth I never get tired of photographing, and this one at St. Seraphim's Cathedral in Texas was no exception.

Laura & Trevor
A special intimate wedding in Sedona, Arizona. The ceremony at Briar Patch Inn and magical sunset photos at Bell Rock captured the love and joy between the couple.

Rooted in the Faith
Your special day shouldn't be centered around the photos, I photograph in a way that the photos are a by-product of the joy and love shared on your special day. From the Crowning to the Dance of Isaiah to the partaking of Holy Communion, I aim to capture the raw tears and smiles shared as well as the reverence of the Holy Mystery.
As an Orthodox Christian myself, I have learned the rhythm of the wedding service. I follow the Priest's lead and capture the weight of the moment.
About Nikholas Novachuk
Orthodox Wedding Photographer | Authentic, Candid & Effortless.
Originally from California, I moved to Arizona with my parents in 2010. Their Russian roots, paired with a community of Greek friends, developed my multilingual background in English, Russian, and Greek.
Having grown up in the church, Orthodox weddings have always been a part of my life. There's something special about capturing a day that carries so much meaning, not just for the couple, but for their families and their faith. I'd love to hear your story and be part of yours.
