When we were planning our wedding, we wanted to have our photography natural and in a reportage style. And Nick was more than perfect for us! When I received the photos, I was once again thought that it was so lucky that we found Nick, and that he was available for our day. I love the tone and the style of the photos, and those photos captured funny moments - we love them so much! We’ve received so much compliments from the guests and families. Especially those who weren’t be able to join the day, they loved how the photos tell the story of the day. We highly recommend Nick, and we will definitely contact Nick again for any special occasions! More...

Nick was the perfect photographer for our Wedding. My wife isn't massively keen on having her photo taken, so Nick's style and approach to the day was perfect for us and removed any anxieties. He managed to blend in and take natural, excellent quality photos. We were so pleased with how they turned out and would highly recommend him! More...

Nick was the best photographer we could have dreamed of to capture our wedding a few months ago. From the first chat we got such a warmth from him and knew that he understood our slightly less traditional brief. He was amazing to have around on our wedding day, bringing fantastic energy and helping to keep the whole day on track. The photos really capture the magic of the day - he took us off for our own special moments as well as getting stuck in with the action on the dance floor. It was amazing to receive a preview of photos within 48 hours and he also captured and edited a brilliant video which means we can relive the day for years to come. We’ve been recommending him to everyone, as he truly was a joy to work with and have alongside us on our special day. Thank you Nick!! More...

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our day! From the first time I spoke to Nick when I first enquired I felt so at ease as choosing someone to capture your day can be quite daunting especially if you don’t want posed photos. Nick was so thorough with us in what we wanted photo wise. Got to know each other over a zoom call before the wedding to clarify everything. We wanted more of a natural capture feel and that’s exactly what we got, hardly noticing how many amazing pictures they were capturing on the day. Being able to see a sample gallery within one week was also just amazing, allowing us to relive our special day We can’t recommend Nick enough and want to say a massive thank you for giving us the most perfect images to our perfect day. If you’re looking at booking Nick, do it! More...

Nick was a great photographer for our wedding in June 2024. We wanted a smaller day, with photos which were natural and showed the day for what it was - Nick captured this perfectly for us! He put everyone at ease, and was very subtle in taking photos. All of our guests have commented on how lovely the photos are and we are extremely happy with the end result! Thank you Nick.

We liked that he did black & white as well as colour photos on selected ones, they were stunning. We highly recommend Nick especially if you want natural photos as aposed to posing photos, we are so happy with ours and preferred it that way and everyone has said they are amazing.

Nick photographed our wedding in May 2024. We couldn’t fault him from start to finish and he produced a brilliant set of photographs. Nick listened to our wishes creating natural, family focused images and minimal posed ones. Nick quietly mingled and captured a range of photographs throughout the day. Guests commented how he made them feel at ease and they were not overly aware he was taking their picture. We highly recommend Nick if you are looking for a wedding photographer. More...

From the moment I saw the amazing work Nick did at my sister in laws wedding, I knew that when my partner popped the question, he'd be top of the list to capture our day. In 10 hrs Nick managed to take more photos of my husband smiling and laughing than I think collectively exist over his 37 years on earth! Wedding ninja is an apt title, we barely noticed he was there throughout the day, yet the previews show just how many of the beautiful moments he captured. And to top it off, Nick also provided the recommendation for the venue we fell in love with - thank you so much! More...

Straightaway we knew we wanted Nick to photograph our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us as a couple before our wedding day. He made us feel so comfortable and before the ceremony became as good as a friend stood by my side. We are so pleased with our photos, they are so stunningly natural and the few formal photos we wanted were done in a very laid back and stress-free way! It’s been so lovely looking back at our special day and all the moments captured by Nick, some of which we didn’t even realised had happened. We would not hesitate to recommend him. Thankyou Nick we cannot thank you enough for giving us these moments to cherish forever. More...

Nick was a complete joy to have around on our wedding day. He completely blended in to the crowd. We are really pleased with the photos, we wanted really natural photographs and we loved Nick's style and storytelling. It's been so much fun reminiscing about the day and looking back through the photographs. There were some moments I had forgotten, or hadn't even realised had happened, especially the ones taken off my nieces and nephews playing football! Would highly recommend Nick :) as well as all of this, he was just lovely to have around on the day! More...

Came to us recommended by another photographer, Nick’s website made us think his candid style photography was exactly what we were after as we didn’t want endless formal wedding photos. We had a Zoom call beforehand and were confident that our special day was going to be beautifully captured. Nick was super friendly, unobtrusive on the day and was speedy to send a few pics to whet our appetites and then shared a huge number of incredible photos. Would thoroughly recommend for weddings!

We were so happy we found Nick, he really is a fantastic photographer. He delivered exactly what he promised and what we were hoping for, and a ton more. We had a few posed photographs and the rest are an amazing collection of moments beautifully captured. We didn't want to spend ages posing for formal pictures and that is not Nick's style, so he was a great choice for us. He really is a ninja photographer, dashing around getting every moment, but letting the action all happen naturally, you wouldn't even know he was there. The results are simply stunning and we feel totally captured the essence of our day, peoples characters and reactions and lots of special moments. We would not hesitate to recommend him. More...

Nick photographed our wedding last year, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He made us feel so comfortable, and it was more like having a friend photograph the wedding than a professional - although obviously with the professional results! The whole process was perfect, from planning to the big day and beyond. Everything felt so easy, and Nick gave us great advice whilst still making us feel so listened to. One of the main reasons we picked him were his brilliant candid photos and we were so happy with everything Nick delivered for our wedding day, from the candid shots he got by seamlessly integrating into the wedding party, to the necessary posed photos for the family album. A huge huge thanks to him for everything! More...

Highly recommend Nick, not only are his pictures absolutely beautiful but he is very friendly and makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable. Our package included an engagement shoot and my partner and i tend to feel a bit awkward in front of the camera but Nick is the master of the candid shot and blends perfectly into the background so it just felt like a lovely walk out. The wedding was no different, you can just enjoy your special day and feel confident knowing that the most womderful moments are being captured. No query was too much hassel and communication was very efficient. He really was a joy to have at our wedding and all of our guests have enjoyed looking through the photos too. More...

From the very start, Nick was very friendly and clear in his communication with us leading to our wedding. Nick was also very helpful in answering any of our queries and the booking process was very simple. In the months leading to the wedding we had a virtual meeting with Nick to run through any requirements for the day and completed a very detailed questionnaire so we were very confident that Nick would capture the moments that we wanted. On the day, Nick went above and beyond our expectations and he arranged group shots quickly and efficiently and blended in amongst the crowds to capture moments we may have missed! So many guests commented on how good Nick was at ending in and taking pictures without them knowing! We received our photos within a few weeks of the wedding and were blown away with how they have turned out. Nick captured both the group shots we asked for as well as many beautiful moments throughout the day. The pictures are amazing and we can’t thank Nick enough! We would definitely recommend Nick to future couples who aren’t so keen on stages shots and who want to capture parts of the day they would have otherwise missed! More...

Nick captures moments that you didn’t even realise had happened, and looking at the photographs brings back every single emotion and memory of the day itself.

What can we say but just wow!?! Nick was one of the first photographers we spoke to after getting engaged, and after seeing his work we just knew we didn’t need to speak to anyone else. Nick was great in the lead up the wedding, date changes (many emails from us) and of course the day itself. Everything went so well, he really put us at ease and manged to take some super candid shots – and the few formal photos we wanted were done in a very laid back and stress-free way! Getting the photos back was better than either of us imagined - he really captured the day, and the main feeling we both felt which was absolute joy! For two people who hate having our photos taken we absolutely adore our couple shots, it was just like taking a walk! The natural guest shots are just brilliant - and of course the photos of my 97-year-old Granddad dancing, brought all the emotions back :) Asking Nick to document our wedding, was one of the best decisions we made - you will 100% not regret booking Nick for your wedding!!

Nick has been the appointed photographer for three weddings in our family, including my own. He is 100% reliable and produces fantastic quality photographs. Nick is able to take photographs and yet remain almost invisible so you don’t notice he’s snapping away!! Although he wasn’t able to hide that easily, we made sure he was included in our photos too as we seem to have adopted him as the family photographer. Nick is very polite, professional and happy to go along with what you have organised for your day. He is clearly experienced as I didn’t have much of a clue of the order of the day or photos and when the group shots would be done etc but Nick was advising us all the way through. Luckily we were able to keep Nick as our photographer despite postponing with COVID. I have nothing but praise for Nick Brightman and I hope to be able direct more business his way with anyone I can.

Q&As

That every wedding is different and I get the best seat it the house!!

I'd always wanted to work for myself and have been a keen for photographer for years. Having taken some photos at a friends wedding as a guest I was asked by them if they could use some of my shots in their album (they'd had a professional photographer as well) That gave me the confidence to pursue photography as a career

With wedding photography we all have own style and mine is take very natural, candid shots.

If what you want is a relaxed day where you're not constantly being told where to stand and how to pose them I'm your man! I'll capture all the emotion of your wedding day but without taking over it
