My approach to photographing weddings in Nottingham
With years of experience under my belt, I have come to realise what is important on a wedding day. No two weddings are the same, but I approach each one with a calm and confident approach to my work. I am naturally a calming presence on the day and offer gentle guidance where needed, whilst stepping back and allowing your day to unfold naturally. My photography is natural and real with a creative and artistic style that draws inspiration from my passion for theatre and film.

Weddings in the city of Nottingham
The Council House in the centre of Nottingham is a great spot for a city wedding. The iconic building is situated centrally in the Market Square surrounded by beautiful Nottingham architecture, with the beautiful Watson Fothergill buildings surrounding the square, and the beautiful central 200 feet high dome of the Council house dominating the skyline and presiding grandly over the old market square.
As a wedding photographer in Nottingham, I have photographed many weddings at the Council house. The interior is beautiful too, with the domed ceiling and several gorgeous rooms to choose from to get married, whether you are after something more intimate or a larger grander wedding celebration.
Wedding photos around the city of Nottingham
The lovely thing about getting married at the Nottingham Council House or another centrally located venue, such as The Cosy Club or The Malt Cross, is being able to have photos strolling around the city. As well as the lovely venues in the heart of Nottingham, sometimes getting photos around some of the lovely areas in Nottingham such as the Lacemarket or photos outside of the famous Nottingham Contemporary are a real bonus. Only a sone’s throw from some of these centrally located venues, the contemporary is a great backdrop for some fun wedding portraits.
A Nottingham wedding photographer with an eye for detail
Whether it might be the bridal bouquet, the table decor or any of the other little details you have painstakingly put into your wedding. I will photograph all of this creatively and beautifully. As well as this, the little tender moments that are often found in the details will be observed and photographed. As an experienced Nottingham wedding photographer with hundreds of weddings captured with my camera over my 14 years in the industry. I have a keen eye for the detail. And often this is where the beauty lies.
A Nottingham wedding photographer with an eye for the dramatic light
With a background in theatre, both acting and directing as well as photographing theatre. I really do love some dramatic light in my photographs. Whether that is being beautifully lit by window light for bridal portraits or silhouetted in the beautiful window light of The West Mill wedding venue. I have a keen eye for light in my photography. I know where to place you and photograph you naturally in the beautiful light.
My favourite barn weddings in and around Nottinghamshire
I love a rustic barn wedding. Nottinghamshire and its surrounding counties is full of some lovely barn weddings. These are a few of my favourites:
