Your Documentary Wedding Photographer for Nottingham, Derby & Leicester

With documentary style photography, I’ll photograph your wedding as it happens to capture a colourful, candid record of your big day.

Over the last 15-plus years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings across Nottingham, Derby and Leicester in documentary style – avoiding overly posed photographs, I offer minimal direction to capture real images of the special couple and their guests in a relaxed and natural way.

From raising a glass of fizz during the wedding preparations to a kiss under falling confetti as a newly married couple, it’s the little details that really capture the big day.

But don’t worry – I’ll also capture those all-important group shots with your friends and family to ensure you have a full picture of your special day.

I love colourful wedding photography and capture the big event and the finer details in colour, and I also provide every image in black and white.

Choosing the right wedding photographer can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what style you are looking for. I always say that a documentary wedding photographer is the right choice for you if you’re looking for pictures that are:

• Timeless
• Candid
• Authentic
• Relaxed
• Unobtrusive

What is documentary wedding photography?

Documentary photography captures moments as they happen to provide an accurate reflection of the big day, which is what makes it one of the most popular styles of wedding photography.

Some photographers also describe documentary photography as editorial or reportage style wedding photography.

However, my advice is not to get too caught up in the name. When it comes to making the big decision about how your big day will be photographed, be sure to choose a style that reflects you and your day.

Why choose documentary wedding photography?

Many couples choose this style of wedding photography because it is timeless.

Documentary style photography is also less intrusive than some other styles of wedding photography, ensuring that the special couple and their guests can enjoy the day without feeling overwhelmed.

It also provide couples with an accurate portrait of their wedding, including the little moments that can easily be missed or forgotten in the whirlwind of the day.
