We first contacted Nicola for our wedding in 2015 and she made us feel at ease and is so friendly, nothing was too much for her and she even managed to get my husband to relax. I had comments from so many of the guests saying how lovely she was. I knew from then that I wanted to use Nicola again when our little boy was born- we were in Love with the images and she was so good with getting him back to sleep and into positions. I have since used her again for a family shoot and my daughters newborn shoot and again the images are beautiful.. I have found it so hard to try and choose which images to print out that I’ve ended up with nearly all of them!! If you are ever wondering who to have as your photographer I would 100% recommend Nicola, you would not be disappointed. More...

Nicola is not just an amazing photographer but a very nice young lady too . We have been lucky enough that both both our son and daughter have had truly wonderful weddings both in Bedfordshire. Nicola has captured both weddings absolutely perfectly. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Red Peacock Photography for any occasion. My mum is now sadly poorly, but Nicola took pictures of her 80th birthday party which we celebrated with all the family - the pictures are a fabulous memory of a wonderful mum and Nannie. When all you have is memories and pictures, it’s great to know Nicola’s pictures will turn out to be amazing. Thank you so much Nicola More...

Well what can I say ♥️ Nicola & Tom were truly amazing. The weather wasn’t on our side but they did their upmost to make sure they captured our special day. My dress broke 20 minutes before heading down & Nicola, to my amazement pulled out a little sewing kit. God bless her for saving the day. Even during my panic & me snapping poor Nicola head off she kept her cool & put me back in my place (which I absolutely loved & needed!) Both of their sense of humour was a breath of fresh air & right up our street. They made us all feel comfortable & I loved how relaxed they made us. For me, Nicola blended in like she was part of the bridal party & helped in more ways then taking photos. She is just a ray of sunshine ☀️ No words will ever be able to describe how wonderful & professional these two are. Saying thank you doesn’t seem enough to show our appreciation. Hand on heart, I never expected for Nicola to help me in the way she did. She isn’t just a photographer she’s your knight in shining armour. Book her now so you can experience what we did Love Mr & Mrs Robson More...

We’ve just received the photos for our photo shoot with our newborn and toddler and are over the moon with them. We were very awkward customers having to reschedule twice (kids! !! ♀️) and Nicola was understanding and kind during the whole process. The shoot itself was fun and relaxed and the photos are beautiful. We would highly recommend Nicola And cannot thank her enough. More...

My partner and I have just returned home from a new born shoot with Nicola. Our 5 day old little boy Riley was so well behaved. We would HIGHLY recommend a newborn shoot with Nicola, it was a very calm atmosphere, where she made us feel so welcomed and relaxed. We sat back and watched out little boy have his photos taken! Her studio was lovely and warm for our little boy and he was very relaxed too. We will definatly be returning when he is 1 year old for a cake smash shoot! Can't WAIT to see the photos! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH NICOLA! xx More...

Nicola is the most amazing photographer!! She made our day special from the minute we booked her. Super chilled, feels like you have a friend taking your wedding photographs but she gets the job done. Overwhelmed by the quality of the photographs, a great mix of natural and posed shots that are simply beautiful. She captured every single moment of our special day. Thank You so much, Love Daniel & Nicola xx More...

We had a newborn photo shoot last week and Nicola made it a relaxing experience for all of us. She went out of her way to fit us in at a time that worked for our family and she was great with both my baby daughter and 3 year old son. The session was completed in an hour and it was completely stress-free. Would definitely recommend Nicola and Red Peacock Photography to my family and friends. More...

We used Red Peacock Photography for my son's newborn shoot. Nicola was very friendly and patient. The photos are really lovely and it's great that the package gives digital images rather than having to choose only a few costly prints.

Where do I begin? My Husband and I are over the moon with the experience Red Peacock Photography provided us with on our wedding day. We've only seen our sneak peak photo's so far and they are just breathtakingly beautiful and completely captured the magic of the day. But d'you know what, it's about so much more than just the photo's, we were lucky enough to have both Nicola and Tom to shoot with us, and they were so much fun that it was just a pleasure to have them there with us! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos because I already know they're going to be amazing. I urge anyone getting married to book with Red Peacock! More...

Nicola was our wedding photographer back in 2015 so after the arrival of our baby girl it was a must that we went back to Nicola for her first newborn pictures. We were not disappointed at all. They are stunning and we are having a tough time deciding which ones we want to put up on our walls. Nicola is a really lovely, creative and talented person and I would recommend her to anyone. Plus she was fantastic with my chatting six year old boy too. Thank you Nicola, we will be back in the future x More...

Had my daughters 1st birthday ‘cake smash’ photoshoot with Nicola..and it was amazing! Nicola is so friendly, yet professional and she is so talented as you can see through her work. The props, background, everything was just perfect. She sent me the photos within 5 days (lovely surprise..quicker than expected!) and they are so beautiful. Such lovely photos to cherish forever. Couldn’t recommend more, her studio is stunning and I think the price is such good value! Thank you so much Nicola, the photos are gorgeous! Xxx More...

Nicola is an amazing photographer and really captures the moments while making you feel at ease. We used her for our wedding and then a year later for our newborn shoot and the pictures of that are just the most adorable things you will ever see! Even though it took 3 hours to get the right shots, a wee, a poo and a bit of sick, Nicola did not seem to mind one bit - all she wanted was the perfect pictures for us and I am so grateful. I can highly highly recommend her as a photographer! Plus she’s a super nice person so what more do you want?! More...

We had a wonderful experience during our newborn shoot. Nicola was amazing with our two older girls, and we had some beautiful photos of all of our girls - no mean feat with a 5 year old, 2 year old and a newborn - as well as gorgeous family photos and of course some scrummy photos of baby Rosalie. Overall, a lovely experience, no pressure and we have some amazing photos of this special time. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Relaxed and happy people. Once people relax in front of you, the photos pretty much take care of themselves!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are you looking for from your photographer?
What are the most important aspects of your day?
Do you have any special or unusual requirements?
What do you love most about your job?
Being with people and helping to capture their memories. It's the best!
What inspired you to start your own business?
My husband. He reminded me that I love taking photos and that I should really try and "do" more with it rather than just as a hobby.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a happy, outgoing, down to earth kind of girl and I will literally bend over backwards to help make your wedding day perfect.
My passion for photography is part of who I am and weddings are just the best day to be a part of.
My photos are about you and your day and I know you will love the end results.
