Camera , Shy?

Creating natural wedding photos is all about helping you relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want you to be yourselves and have fun together. I don’t want to pose you or ask you to stare into my lens, ideally I want you to forget that I am even there.

You are marrying your best friend, your partner in crime, the person who brings out the best in you. I will simply get you walking, talking, playing little games together. Your connection and interaction will do the rest and I will capture all the in between moments.

CAPTURING weddings since 2014

Hi, I’m Nicola

BRISTOL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | FILM MAKER

My love of people and travel has naturally led me to a career as wedding photographer. Witnessing human interactions, love and kindness is a wholesome experience. Being able to capture each wedding and love story with my camera is a privilege.

I document and tell people’s wedding stories all over the world. I have visited many beautiful locations and met so many wonderful people. No wedding is too big, too small or too far.

She went above and beyond to produce the most incredible wedding photos. She was so attentive to every fine detail and for two very uneasy people in front of a camera, made us feel completely comfortable and at ease.
