Your Relaxed, Candid Nottinghamshire Wedding Photographer

Nottinghamshire Wedding Photographer

Natural, documentary-style wedding photography for Nottinghamshire couples

Hello! I’m Barnaby, an experienced Nottinghamshire wedding photographer specialising in authentic, relaxed, and documentary-style coverage. I believe your wedding day should be about enjoying every moment, not posing for endless photos.

Based in the heart of the East Midlands, I work across all of Nottinghamshire’s finest locations, from rustic barns to elegant country houses. If you’re looking for honest, emotional photographs that tell the real story of your day, you’re in the right place. Get to know more about me.

My Approach: The Authentic, Candid Style of Photography

Forget the awkward, forced poses—my job is to help you feel completely yourselves.

I believe your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, not a lengthy photoshoot. My style is rooted in relaxed, documentary storytelling. This means I spend the majority of the day capturing genuine, unplanned moments: the huge belly laugh during the best man’s speech (hopefully), the quiet tear during the vows, and the joyful chaos on the dance floor.

What does this mean for you?

You get to relax: I work quietly and discreetly, blending in with your guests. You’ll barely notice the camera, which allows those beautifully honest moments to unfold naturally.
The real story: I capture the heart and soul of your day; the emotion, the atmosphere, and all the little details you poured so much love into.
Quick, fun portraits: For your couple portraits and family photos, I keep things short, sweet, and low-pressure. Think natural direction, not stiff poses, resulting in images that feel authentically you.

Ultimately, my goal as your Nottinghamshire wedding photographer is to give you a collection of timeless photographs that allow you to relive the true feeling of your Nottinghamshire wedding every time you look at them.

Frequently Asked Questions about booking your Nottinghamshire Wedding Photographer

I know you have a lot on your plate right now, so I’ve gathered answers to the most common questions I receive from Nottinghamshire couples. My goal is to make the process of securing your photography simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Still have questions? Contact Me

I know you’ll be excited to relive the magic! I aim to deliver your full online gallery within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day. I dedicate time to carefully hand-edit and perfect every image, ensuring they meet my high standards.

You can also expect a small sneak peek of 20-30 images sent over within 7 days – perfect for sharing with family and friends while the glow is still fresh!

Absolutely! You receive all of your final, high-resolution JPEG images via a beautiful private online gallery. The files you download are completely watermark free.

This means you can download, share, and print your photos wherever and whenever you like—they are yours to keep and cherish forever!

Your peace of mind is most important! Firstly, I have a fantastic network of professional, experienced Nottinghamshire wedding photographers who shoot in a similar style to me.

In the highly unlikely event I could not attend, I would personally arrange for a suitable replacement. Your booking fee and contract would be seamlessly transferred, ensuring your day is fully covered without any extra stress on your part. I would also edit the images, so your final gallery would still have my signature style.

Please don’t worry about being camera-shy—most of my couples feel the same way!

My approach is primarily documentary, meaning I focus on capturing real moments, not forced poses. For the few planned moments (like family portraits or couple’s shots), I keep it relaxed, fun, and efficient. I offer gentle direction, not stiff poses, to ensure you look natural, happy, and completely like yourselves!

While every wedding is unique, you can expect to receive between 500 to 700 professionally edited images for a typical full-day booking. I focus on quality over quantity, meaning I don’t give you duplicate shots or outtakes, just a beautiful, comprehensive collection that tells your entire story perfectly.

As a busy Nottinghamshire wedding photographer, dates—especially peak summer Saturdays—tend to book up quickly! Most couples secure their date with me 12 to 18 months in advance, but it’s always worth checking, even if your date is sooner. The best advice is to enquire as soon as you have your venue locked in!
