NOTTINGHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR COUPLE’S WHO LIVE IN THE MOMENT
Things to consider when choosing your photographer.
Make sure you actually like the photographer as a person. Yes, Really!
Your photographer is around for a big chunk of your wedding day.
If you’re not someone who enjoys having a camera pointed at you, it helps massively if the photographer feels like someone you can hang out with and actually chat to.
Looking for a Nottinghamshire Wedding Photographer, I’ve got some tips for you.
Not all EAST MIDLANDS wedding photographers work the same way
When you start looking at wedding photography in Nottingham, you’ll notice the approaches vary quite a lot. Some photographers guide couples through most of the day. Others take a much more hands-off approach.
Traditional wedding photography
Usually involves quite a bit of direction. Couples might be asked to stand a certain way, repeat moments, or step away from the party for a while for portraits. Some people love that structure. But if the idea of posing makes you uncomfortable, it can feel like a lot.
Documentary wedding photography
Instead of directing everything, they observe what’s happening and photograph the day as it happens. Your wedding stays a wedding. Not a staged photoshoot. Read my thoughts on unposed wedding photography.
Pay attention to how relaxed people look in the photos
When you’re looking through galleries from wedding photographers in the East Midlands, try looking beyond the obvious big moments.
Pay attention to the people.
Do the couples look comfortable?
Are guests chatting, laughing and interacting naturally?
Does it feel like a real wedding day rather than a series of staged photos?
Can you feel the atmosphere and the vibe from photos?
Look for a wedding photographer whose approach matches you
Style matters, but how someone actually works on the day matters even more.
If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy being in front of the camera, you’ll probably feel more comfortable with a photographer who keeps things relaxed and goes with the flow of the day.
Couples who don’t enjoy posing aren’t looking for someone to direct them all day. They want someone who understands they’d rather spend their time with friends and family. I get it, I really do.
“Taking the time to find the right photographer was one of the best things we did.”
B + S
Your wedding isn’t a photo shoot
it’s about YOU being in the moment with the people you love most.
You don’t need to be good at posing.
You don’t need to practice smiles.
You don’t need to perform for the camera.
Your job is to get married and celebrate with the people you care about. The photographer’s job is to document what happens.
Every wedding is different, but the best photos usually happen when people feel comfortable enough to forget the camera is there.

Looking for a Nottingham wedding photographer who keeps things relaxed?
If you’re planning a wedding in Nottingham and the thought of posing for loads of photos makes you cringe a little, you’re definitely not alone and your wedding photos don’t have to be cringey like that.
A lot of the couples I work with feel exactly the same.
They want their wedding day to feel relaxed, spend time with their friends and family, and not be told what to do.
If that sounds like your kind of day, feel free to get in touch and tell me about you.
