You seemed to be everywhere during the day but at the same time just melded into the crowd and have managed to catch some beautiful natural moments of our big day.

My approach to wedding photography and what to expect on the day.
On your wedding day, I don’t want you to be thinking about the photographs. It’s my mission to make sure the photography happens as effortlessly as possible and without a second thought (from you). It’s your job to enjoy yourselves with your friends and family, having a great time eating canapés and catching up with loved ones.
With my approach there’ll be no standing on ceremony, awkward posing or saying “cheese” to the camera for what seems like an eternity. This day is all about the two of you, your friends and family, having the time of your lives.
When I photograph your wedding I behave just like another guest, (who happens to have a couple of nice cameras in her hand). I won’t be hiding in a bush from afar snapping away, I’ll be with your friends and family, capturing what it really feels like to be there (in a very discrete way).
When you look back at the slideshow, you’ll relive it all over again - often seeing lots of things that you didn’t even notice on the day!
I’m happy to take some family portraits if you’d like them, but It won’t take up too much time, so that you can enjoy the day as it was intended, with your friends, family and loved ones.
Get in touch for a chat about your wedding plans, and let’s capture the time of your lives.
“I LOVE Nic's particular practice. Nic is an amazing photographer whose photos document, focus on interactions between people, tell stories, remain true to what's happening, and capture moments in their natural context in a beautifully authentic and sensitive way.
It's not just about the way Nic takes pictures - it's also about WHO she is. Nic is so calm, organised, reliable, trustworthy and great-humoured - she's just so wonderful to be around…
Nic has a clever knack of being everywhere without being intrusive, and pads about silently like a ninja! Nic managed to place herself in all the right places at all the right times, and captured our marriage and celebration so beautifully. We are so delighted with our photos.
We cannot recommend Nic highly enough for a sensitive, authentic, careful documentation of any special event…Thank you again, Nic, for creating such a beautiful piece of documentation of our amazingly happy day.”
Alexandra, Wedding Photography, Yorkshire.
