I was trying to find a photographer for my husband’s 60th birthday party a few weeks ago and was having no joy with my usual local contacts so did a search online and Nigel came up on Bark.
We had a few chats and if I am honest, did not know what to expect but he was absolutely brilliant!
We have been blown away by the photos. Not only that, he really knows what works and got such great pictures of not only everyone there but also the tables, the flowers, the band and lots of things we wouldn’t even have thought about asking him to do but so glad he just did it.
His communication before and after the event was really efficient and he was dressed smartly on the night and was so friendly and yet professional.
20 🌟 out of 10 from us. We are so grateful and have a really wonderful set of photos and a wonderful momento of a very special evening.
I highly recommend him and in fact am looking to book him to do some headshots for a website!

What can I say, nigel gave us the experience we wanted from start to finish we enjoyed being centre of attention and he organised everyone for photo sessions.
photographs high definition quality were fantastic but the icing on the cake were the two films of ceremony one open mic and the other set to backing music of our choice. Altogether a great photographer with experience I would use again and recommend him highly price point was competitive you only live once use the best.

We are beyond thrilled with all the photos and the reel that Nigel produced of our special day. He was an absolute pleasure to chat with as well and made us both feel so comfortable at every stage, from the prep pics to our pre-wedding morning walk in Arundel and through our gorgeous candlelit ceremony. Nigel has a gift, and we are grateful he used it to capture all the moments from our small ceremony, from the seemingly ordinary ones to the intimate, touching and exhilarating! More...

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding photographer Nigel From the very first conversation to the final gallery delivery, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.
On our wedding day, they made us feel completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. They captured every special moment so beautifully — from the big emotional highlights to the small candid details we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our photos felt like reliving the entire day all over again.
If you’re even considering booking Nigel do it.
It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, all of our family and friend's really loved Nigel to he fitted in with us like he was part of the family. A Lot of comments we got from our friend's and Family was how amazing and friendly Nigel was.
if we need a photographer again for anything it will 100 percent be Nigel

We booked Nigel Chapman Photography for our wedding in Harrow on the Hill, London and they were absolutely incredible. From the first contact to the big day, everything was handled with such warmth, passion, professionalism, and care.
They were friendly, calm and organised, which really helped us relax and actually enjoy having our photos taken without ever feeling intrusive.
On the big day, they blended in so naturally with our guests but still managed to capture every important moment and all the little details. The photos are stunning and feel very “us”. We’ve had so many compliments from friends and family. We’re so grateful for their talent and dedication, and we’d recommend Nigel Chapman Photography to any couple looking for beautiful, genuine wedding photos that they can’t stop looking through them as so do we.
Grateful souls, Titus & Rose.

We had an amazing experience with our photographer Nigel . He was incredibly easy-going and made both families—African British and Spanish—feel completely at ease throughout our traditional bride price ceremony.
Bringing two different cultures together so naturally is not easy, but he handled it with warmth, patience, and professionalism. He was also very flexible with his booking and truly catered to our every need. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture such an important cultural moment.
Very skilled and genuine photographer
Thank you

We had a very small intimate wedding and booked Nigel without having previously met him.
We made the perfect choice…
Nigel made everything easy, right from the start he was there ready for our arrival and his friendly character blended seamlessly with our guests which allowed him to capture great posed and impromptu images.
During the ceremony he moved around almost invisibly.
We loved our photographs, they were exactly what we’d hoped for.
We would definitely use Nigel again and can’t recommend him highly enough.

Nigel was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our experience has been exceptional from the moment we made our initial enquiry, right through until we received our last video. Nigel took the time to get to know us, what we wanted from our photographs and video, the style, all the details… and then on our wedding day, Nigel was amazing! Organising the perfect shots, capturing beautiful candid moments, and bringing our vision to life. The photographs and videos are stunning. We could not have asked for a better end result. Even choosing the photos to frame has been a challenge because there are just so many we want to display! We are so grateful for the way that Nigel has captured our special day and all the precious moments - our wedding collection is a true masterpiece. Thank you ❤️ More...

On very short notice, we needed a photographer and videographer for our wedding, and Nigel was easily the best choice for this occasion.
Nigel very carefully and painstakingly made 2 sets of images and 2 different videos for us (highlights reel and ceremony footage), all in high definition and edited well, while capturing the most beautiful memories of the day so perfectly for us.
Nigel is a pleasure to work with, proactive, very patient (especially with large and or rowdy groups! - thank you again Nigel!) and takes the initiative to get the best photos which other photographers will not, especially for Asian celebrations due to his cultural understanding and respect.
We highly recommend him to our friends, family and other potential customers as he is a highly skilled and expert photographer for special occasions such as our Hindu wedding.

Nigel was the photographer at our wedding. I was apprehensive as I don’t like posing and dislike pictures that are too staged. My daughter made contact with Nigel and explained what we were looking for, and I needn’t have worried. Nigel was amazing. He listened and understood exactly what we wanted. He had everyone relaxed and natural. It was if we had a friend taking pictures. He caught the mood of the wedding and the end result is a collection of fantastic pictures. I hadn’t even seen him take some of the pictures so they are really beautiful, of all our friends and family laughing, chatting and smiling. Nigel is an absolute pleasure and really knows his stuff. I would highly recommend him and can honestly say I would never use anyone else. More...

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding photos and video - Nigel, you were absolutely incredible! From start to finish, it was a genuinely amazing experience having you as our photographer. You didn’t just take stunning photos - you truly saw and understood the culture, and that made all the difference. You managed the crowd so naturally, blending in with the day while also keeping things moving seamlessly. You made us feel comfortable, and it shows in every frame. Thank you for capturing not just the moments, but the emotion and meaning behind them. We’re so grateful to have had you as part of our big day. More...

Nigel was an absolutely brilliant wedding photographer. He took time before the day to understand what our wedding would be like and what we wanted from the photos, which was super helpful, and meant the images we got were absolutely what we were hoping for. He was great fun on the day too! A lovely guy to have around, taking great candid shots as well as the staged ones we wanted. He interacted with all the guests really nicely and put everyone at ease. He also managed to get the nicest photos I’ve ever seen of my Mum, who hates having her photo taken! Would highly recommend him, absolutely fantastic. More...

Nigel photographed our engagement and we couldn’t be happier. He’s a consummate gentleman and phenomenal photographer who not only captures the magical moment brilliantly, he also puts you at ease (might have been a tad nervous beforehand) and is great craic. His years of experience are demonstrated well with his end product, and he is incredibly communicative (he even helped change some of my plans for the better!). Thanks a mil Nigel for making our special day that bit more amazing. Couldn’t recommend his services enough. I know who will be top of our list when we look for a photographer for our wedding.

Nigel was the photographer and videographer for our wedding. He not only captured every amazing moment of our day, but enhanced them with his friendly and humourous personality. Nigel befriended everyone there, made the images fun to take, and got everyone laughing as the photos were taken so everything looks natural. And when he left he personally said goodbye to every guest present. Somehow Nigel was able to take photos from every different angle without anyone noticing he was there. Looking through the photos afterwards it seems like Nigel has the ability to teleport! At first we were only going to go with the photos, but Nigel managed to convince us to have a 3 minute video as well and wow, we are so glad that we did! The video Nigel produces is beautiful and truly captures every moment of the day. Nigel truly made the day special and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer or videographer. More...

We booked Nigel for our wedding in August and could not be happier with the photos and videos produced. A few things to highlight in particular about our experience: - He is a great wedding guest - we have spoken to many friends and family since who have fond recollections of chatting to Nigel on the day. He is very warm, accommodating and has great energy, both in preceding phone call and on the day. - He is very hardworking - we asked for documentary style photos of our day with some portraits after the service. We were not expecting the sheer volume of images we received! We had around 100 guests and feel like we have at least one great photo of every one of them. He was like a ninja and was everywhere - would love to see his Strava for the day! - The quality of his work - fantastic! So pleased to have such beautiful photos to remember our day. Thank you so much Nigel! More...

Wow! What can I say about Nigel, from his first contact with us to saying goodbye at the end of our wedding he was just incredible. There was nothing too big or too small that Nigel could do for us, he was professional, punctual, friendly, and made two very camera shy people thoroughly enjoy having their photos taken!

We hired Nigel for our school prom event and the experience with Nigel went beyond photography. Nigel’s incredible work ethic and skill really enhanced the atmosphere.
He was truly more than a photographer, he came to the event with such a positive and lively attitude and also kept in touch with us prior to the event which helped with organisation and helped to translate the lively atmosphere of our event into photography. His work truly speaks for the incredible photographer he is.
Thank you very much Nigel for the wonderful photos and videos as well as your incredible attitude.

Nigel is one of the nicest men I have ever met; apart from my husband of course. My guests assumed he was a friend, who I had known for years & were surprised to hear I met him for the first time on my wedding day. He called me about a week before my wedding to talk through my needs, concerns (posed photos make me feel uncomfortable) & expectations & arrived early on the day to meet James & I as we arrived at the Henley Registry Office. He was so incredibly accommodating & fun on the day & captured my day perfectly. And that’s coming from someone who is a perfectionist & a stickler for standards. The photos, ceremony film, & 2-minute highlight film are simply wonderful & still make me cry every time I look at them. I can’t thank Nigel enough for his kindness & the products he supplied, which have given me memories to cherish forever. I highly recommend Nigel for all your photography needs. He will not disappoint. More...
