Puerto Rico Wedding Photographer

About Me

Hi!

I’m Nilka Gissell. I’ve been documenting weddings in Puerto Rico and abroad for over a decade. As a Puerto Rico based wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing love stories that celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of my clients. I understand the importance of representation and visibility in the wedding industry. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a safe and inclusive space for all. I want you to feel seen, heard and celebrated.

My approach to photography is candid and authentic with a focus on capturing genuine moments and emotions. I love working with couples who are not afraid to be themselves and express their love in their unique way.

Let’s go ahead and grab a cup of coffee over a video call and talk about your wedding. It’s important to me that we connect, and make sure we are a good fit for one another.
I’d be really happy if you would let me capture your story. Remember it’s all about you!

Serving Puerto Rico, NYC and anywhere in Between.

Testimonials

My Happy Clients!

Nilka is a truly talented photographer. We are so thrilled with how all of our photos turned out. Her style is natural and laid back - it's absolutely wonderful. Leading up to the big day, Nilka was extremely organized, kind, and communicative. She made sure that we knew the schedule of the day and offered some tips to get the best shots. On wedding day, she was super sweet and calm. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made sure that we were having fun. Thank you, Nilka, for capturing all of our special moments.

We had so much fun doing our engagement photo-shoot with Nilka! She took us to gorgeous spots around San Juan and put us right at ease with her sense of humor and professional yet easy-going approach. Nilka is an incredibly talented photographer! We were amazed by the final photos, which she sent to us earlier than expected. Thank you for this beautiful experience!

Nilka was wonderful in every sense of the way. From our engagement photo shoot in Brooklyn to our wedding day in PR, she was just fabulous. She made us feel comfortable with friendly energy and made an effort to please whatever crazy idea we had. Edits were flawless and fast turnaround.

Nilka was our original photographer when we originally had our wedding in Puerto Rico in November 2017. We had to cancel the wedding and move it to NYC. Nilka kept communication with us after hurricane and cane to New York City to take our pictures the following March. She was professional, on time and very helpful with the poses. She even put on my veil on me because my hair artist forgot to!!! I absolutely loved my pictures! She stuck with us when many other vendors didn’t even give us back our deposits back. I would definitely book Nilka for your engagement, wedding or any other memorable event!
