Intimate Wedding Photography in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Beyond | Honest Moments and Laid Back Beauty
There’s something deeply special about intimate weddings ,the quiet joy, the meaningful details, the people who truly matter. Whether it’s a garden ceremony at home, a relaxed gathering in the countryside, or a beautifully styled celebration tucked away in a quiet corner of Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire, intimate weddings offer the space to breathe, to connect, and to truly feel every moment.
As an intimate wedding photographer based in Nottinghamshire, I’m drawn to the honest, unguarded parts of a wedding day. The way your best friend wipes away a quiet tear during the vows. The nervous little squeeze of hands before walking down the aisle. The flowers carefully chosen for their meaning. The wind lifting your veil, the golden light that catches just right, the laughter that rises up without warning. These are the moments I live for.
Laid Back, Story Driven Wedding Photography
My approach is gentle, thoughtful and unobtrusive. I specialise in relaxed wedding photography across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the surrounding areas, where nothing is forced or overly posed. I don’t believe in stiff smiles or standing still for too long. Instead, I let the day unfold naturally, fading into the background so you can be fully present with your people. Whether you’re dancing barefoot under the stars or sneaking away for a quiet moment together, I’ll be nearby, capturing it all with care and creativity.
I often work with couples who describe themselves as camera-shy or awkward, and I want you to know that you are exactly who I love working with. You don’t have to perform or be anything other than yourselves. I’ll guide you gently if needed, but mostly, I’m there to notice the beauty in the ordinary, to see the emotion in the in-between, and to create space where you can just be.

The Aesthetics That Tell Your Story
So much love goes into the details of an intimate wedding, the fresh flower bouquet hand-tied that morning, the vintage heirloom ring, the handwritten vows, the soft colours of a table laid with intention. My style is soft, natural, and full of warmth, always leaning into the tones and textures that make your wedding yours. I’m drawn to golden light, natural settings, and real emotion. Nothing over the top, just timeless, heartfelt imagery that feels like you.
Whether you’re getting married on a hillside in the Peak District, in a garden in the heart of Nottinghamshire, or planning a small elopement somewhere deeply personal, I’ll meet you there with camera in hand and eyes wide open.
Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Wedding Photography That Feels Like You
Based in Nottinghamshire and regularly photographing weddings across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, South Yorkshire and the surrounding countryside, I offer bespoke, heart-led photography for couples who care about the feeling of the day more than perfection. My coverage is flexible, so whether you want a few hours for a simple ceremony or full-day storytelling that flows from morning light to evening laughter.
Every couple is different. Every love story is layered. And I truly believe your photographs should reflect that.
