A documentary approach with an editorial finish.
In the world of luxury wedding photography, Nicola’s approach is distinctly tailored for discerning couples, intertwining the timeless elegance of editorial photography with the authentic, unscripted moments that unfold naturally. This blend ensures that each photograph is not only a testament to the beauty and emotion of your wedding but also a gallery of photos consisting of a clean and natural edit that will outlive trends and stand the test of time.

Nicola is inspired by a love for the golden age of cinema, the use of composition and light in period dramas, the likes of French fashion icons Françoise Hardy and Bridget Bardot, and most recently talented directors who masterfully play with light and shadows to tell a story with a sense of nostalgia, including the work of Reed Morano and cinematographer Colin Watkinson. Her photographic approach is deeply rooted in their ethos of strong compositions and use of luminous light and pockets of light that are not only artistic but when used in photography will also resonant with the warmth and tenderness of the occasion.

I have worked so incredibly hard throughout my career to hone my craft and learn how to pose even the most camera shy people.

I photograph weddings in an honest, relaxed and candid way, that my style has become a culmination of my passion for photojournalism, and fine art photography using luminous natural light sources, and there’s definitely a bit of a cinematic vibe going on these days too. I look through these photos and I laugh, reminisce, smile like a cheshire cat, shed a tear or get a lump in my throat and I feel all this despite it not being me or my loved ones in the photos, this is how I want you to feel about your photos.

HEARTFELT . ELEGANT . Timeless

There is literally no bigger compliment than being asked to shoot a wedding, capturing love is what I do best! But before all that, we need to make sure we connect and I am exactly what you’re looking for. So let's talk about my style.

I am a natural wedding photographer; with my weddings what you see is real, no styled shoots, workshops or models, they are all authentic real life couples and people. I bring a feminine feel to my work with an element of fashion editorial beauty shining through, I know when to stay in the background and capture the fine nuances and moments in between, I know that the most meaningful shots are evoked by the unseen wink, the subtle touches, or hidden tear, natural wedding photography that won't make you cringe.
