the TEAM
the LADIES BEHIND THE LENS
when working with Femina you become
part of our family
We are a collective of highly-skilled artists, with a curated style of work.
Femina is an award-winning boutique wedding studio located in New York City and Philadelphia. As a “boutique” studio, our artists take on a limited number of weddings per year, and we promise a consistent style and quality of work, no matter the photographer. You can always rely on this standard with our photography and cinematic videos because our artists have been highly trained to encompass Femina’s signature “Elegant, Romantic & Sophisticated” style.
ONE Portfolio.
ONE Style.
Quality + Consistency at its very best.
You will notice we have a single, comprehensive body of work within Femina – no sorting through multiple portfolios of work! This is because we have carefully selected and coached each artist on not only our style of photography and the way we utilize light, but our overall approach to wedding days and how to document them in a way that is true to our values and aesthetic. We capture organic moments, and art direct more formal portraits to provide clean, magazine-worthy images for every wedding, portrait and event. Each artist is an extension of the founding owners, Noelle & Nicole, and bring our vision to life for each and every wedding. We are privileged to not only have such talent within our team, but to also call these incredible ladies our friends.
When working with Femina, you become an extension of our Femina family. Creating an unforgettable experience and life-long connections are at the heart of what we do. We have been humbled year after year to be welcomed into our clients’ homes – well after their wedding day has ended – to capture their growing families. And we believe in preserving your imagery in beautiful heirloom products that will become cherished keepsakes for generations.
Noelle Andrews
Owner, director of Cinematography
Noelle has always felt drawn to story-telling and cinematography. She went on to receive a Fine Art degree in Visual Communications and Photography from the University of Delaware. Understanding the value of preserving memories is what led her to the path of becoming a wedding and portrait photographer and videographer. Noelle loves connecting with clients and capturing their story in an emotional and authentic way, especially through films. With a background in photography, it allowed her to apply those skills and knowledge to the world of filmmaking, where she has found her true passion. Noelle’s friends see her as caring and bubbly, but fiercely loyal. She was born in Florida and then moved to Guam for a short time before finally settling into Delaware, where she was raised. She now calls Philadelphia home, but her greatest joy is traveling and experiencing other cultures. And she loves nothing more than discovering these far-away places with her husband Steve. Ultimately, it was their love of travel that inspired them to have an intimate destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience for her, and she loves connecting with couples about the planning process! When she’s not jet-setting, Noelle enjoys being home with her sweet and lovable golden retrievers, Carl and Harriet “Winslow”.
Nicole Dimotsis
Owner, director of photography
Nicole is a wine lover, and travel addict who discovered her love for photography at an early age. However it wasn’t until she landed in the world of advertising that it truly flourished. Through her professional background as an art director and commercial photographer, Nicole was able to gain a unique perspective into the wedding industry which fuels her photography today. Her extensive skills as an art director and designer influence how she photographs, and she composes and shoots with the utmost intention and with the vision of your album in mind. Nicole is constantly looking for the perfect story-telling images, while being patient to let those moments happen organically. She strives to see things differently and brings her knowledge of design into all aspects of our business, which in turn translates into beautiful products for our clients. After living in New York City for nearly a decade and thoroughly soaking up everything it had to offer, Nicole has recently relocated back to Philadelphia – where Femina first began! Nicole absolutely loves traveling, connecting with different cultures, skiing, hiking and being in nature. These days you can find Nicole living her greatest adventure yet, being a mommy to two spunky little boys, Anderson and Bennett, and chasing their tiny little foot prints down every sandy beach she can find.
