Birmingham & the West Midlands
Natural, beautifully observed wedding photography - capturing your day exactly as it felt, with thoughtful direction and a calm presence from prep to first dance.
Your day, beautifully told
I share in your excitement and happiness while lending my expertise and gentle direction, capturing your day in images you'll treasure forever. Every package includes a pre-wedding consultation, so we get to know each other before the big day.
I hope my pictures speak for themselves about the care and attention I invest in every magical moment — so please, have a look around.
Recent weddings
From quiet morning preparations to the last dance of the night.
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.
How it works
Tell me your date, venue and what you're imagining for the day.
We meet over coffee to talk it through and look through my albums and portfolio.
We plan your timings, group shots and any special requests together.
A deposit secures your date — then you can look forward to the day itself.
Local knowledge
I work in and around Birmingham and know many of the region's finest venues inside out.
A recommended photographer here - I know its Hornton Grange building, Garth House and gardens in every season.
A hidden gem on the edge of Moseley - the former Chamberlain family home, with a Great Hall, airy drawing room and beautiful gardens.
Out in the countryside near Solihull - a fantastic venue for summer and winter weddings, with gorgeous gardens and a stunning lake.
An idyllic, intimate setting in Earlswood - rustic elegance, characterful interiors and picturesque gardens that photograph beautifully.
Kind words
From start to finish nicola was amazing, she took the time to talk us through our options and listen to what we wanted, nicola made us feel special and made sure everyone was where they are meant to be! We have beautiful memories of our day and can't thank nicola enough! ♥️
Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend Nicola.
We hired her for our wedding and whilst she was professional and knew how to get the job done, our guests all commented on how lovely and friendly she was. She put everyone at ease and she made sure everyone was having fun, even those who were a little camera shy.
Nicola captured our special day beautifully and you could tell that she simply loved her work.
Nicola was our photographer for our wedding at Highbury Hall in July 2022….she was so friendly and professional and put us both at ease. She had some great photo ideas on the day and made sure our photo requests were done too. We had such a magical day made even more special by Nicola’s presence. She was able to capture the day in such a beautiful way with our amazing album that we can treasure for ever. We would definitely recommend using Nicola for all your photography needs without a doubt. Thank you again Nicola love from Carl and Louise
Nicola was fantastic from start to finish! Nicola got some amazing photos from mine and my husbands big day. We felt very comfortable and she was very professional. We would most definitely highly recommend!
On location across the region

I love to meet my couples in person, it helps us both to get a feel of how your wedding day will be and how we can get the best out of the time we will have.

It would be exceptionally rare that a technical issue would arise however, I always carry duplicate cameras and extra lenses plus plenty of batteries, just in case.
It takes me a little while to fully prepare your final images especially in peak season when I am quite busy with my wedding photography. I endeavour to have your photographs ready one month after your wedding day and 5 weeks at the latest.
Yes, I am extremely proficient in taking well organised and beautifully coordinated group photographs in addition to a fabulous selection of natural, reportage style images. I love to take natural shots of the bride and her bridesmaids having fun swell as the groom and his groomsmen messing around!
I've been a full time professional photographer for over 15 years and I shoot between 25 and 35 weddings so I’m very experienced in my chosen field.

I have a 'Suggestions for Photographs' which covers all of the typical group shots which most couples would want such as shots with the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, family group shots and portraits.
I like to work to this list and of course, you are free to add as many additional group shots as you wish.
I like to provide my bride & Groom with coverage from their bridal preparations (and groom preparations) until their first dance plus lots of the fun in between too!
Most of my wedding photography packages include a beautiful wedding album of photographs which you choose from the fabulous selection of professionally edited images which I share with you. My gorgeous albums really do need to be seen to be appreciated!
