Solihull & the surrounding area
Natural, relaxed wedding photography across Solihull and its villages — from country-house venues to leafy gardens, captured the way the day felt.
A local Solihull photographer
Solihull and the villages around it — Knowle, Dorridge, Barston and Balsall Common — are some of my favourite places to photograph a wedding. I'm based just down the road in South Birmingham, so I'm a regular at the area's country-house venues and gardens, and I know the light, the lanes and the quiet corners that make Solihull weddings so lovely to capture.
Local knowledge
I work in and around Solihull and know many of the aera's finest venues inside out.

As well as Solihull town centre, I regularly photograph weddings throughout the surrounding villages — and across the wider West Midlands whenever the day takes me there.
What's included
I cover your day from bridal and groom preparations right through to your first dance - plus all the fun in between. You'll receive a beautifully edited collection to choose from, and most packages include one of my gorgeous albums, which really do need to be seen to be appreciated.
Every couple is different, so tell me about your day and I'll tailor a package to suit it.
Why couples choose Nicola
I bring extensive experience photographing religious ceremonies across many faiths and cultural traditions — knowing how to position myself discreetly during prayers, which moments matter most, and how to work sensitively within the customs of each. From a traditional English church service to an elaborate South Asian celebration, I document every wedding with cultural awareness and respect.

— Vicky BentleyI cannot begin to express how amazing Nicola is! From the very start she was professional and so helpful and friendly too. She got us as a couple straight away and captured us perfectly, she really has a great eye for those special moments. I am so happy with the pictures and I feel so lucky to have had Nicola there on our big day. I would definitely recommend Nicola to anyone. If you're looking for a friendly experienced photographer who really knows her stuff and takes lovely natural photos, then Nicola is the photographer you must have!
Good to know
Absolutely — I'm based just down the road in South Birmingham, so Solihull and its surrounding villages are very much home turf. I photograph weddings across the borough throughout the year.
Plenty — The Lake at Barston, Nuthurst Grange and Hogarths among them, plus many more across the area. If you've booked somewhere I haven't shot before, I arrive early to scout the best spots.
No — Solihull is right on my doorstep, so there's no extra travel charge for weddings in the borough.
Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Hampton-in-Arden, Shirley and beyond — and I'm happy to travel further across the West Midlands. Just ask.
