Nathan was incredible, the communication from the outset was amazing, he totally understood our requests and was almost invisible during the day! The photos he captured were wonderful, I had no idea how he managed to get so many! The standard of service we received for the price we paid was just also incredible. I honestly can’t recommend him enough!

More Than Just a Pretty Picture: The Soul of Wedding Photography
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s get one thing straight. A professional wedding photographer does so much more than just take pretty pictures. They are artists, storytellers, professional huggers, and calming presences all rolled into one. Investing in a great one is investing in the quality and longevity of your memories.
They Capture the Feeling
The real magic of a wedding isn’t in the perfectly posed shots; it’s in the feeling. It’s the butterflies in your stomach, the roar of laughter during the speeches, the happy tears of your parents, and the absolute chaos of the dancefloor. A great photographer is a master at capturing that intangible, wonderful feeling in a still image.
They Tell Your Unique Story
Every couple is different, and every wedding has its own narrative. A skilled photographer will take the time to get to know you and will tell the story of your day in a way that is authentic to you. They’ll weave together the big moments and the small, unnoticed details to create a beautiful, cohesive story.
They Are Masters of Light
Great photography is all about light. A professional photographer knows how to work with any lighting situation. They know how to find the most beautiful, flattering light for your portraits, how to handle the low light of a rustic barn or a candlelit dinner, and how to create magic during that beautiful ‘golden hour’ just before sunset.
The Unseen Work Is Everything
A huge part of a photographer’s job happens after your wedding day is over. They will spend many, many hours carefully sifting through thousands of images, selecting the very best ones, and then artistically editing each one to their signature style. This is how you get a stunning, consistent gallery of images, and it’s how you get a party that will be remembered in perfect detail.
Finding Your Vibe: A Guide to Popular UK Wedding Photography Styles
The UK is home to some of the most talented wedding photographers in the world, and there’s a style out there to suit every couple. The most important thing is to find a style that you both absolutely love. Spend some time looking through portfolios and find the work that gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling.
Here are some of the key styles perfect for a UK wedding, especially in a beautiful rural setting:
The Rustic & Natural Style: Warmth, authenticity, and a relaxed, natural feel. Light, airy photos focused on genuine emotion and candid moments. Perfect for barns, tipis, or outdoor weddings.

Local Hero or Destination Dream? Choosing Your Photographer
One big question for couples marrying in rural or destination venues: hire a local photographer or bring in your dream artist from afar? Both have pros and cons.
The Case for a Local Photographer
Local Knowledge is Gold: Knows the venue’s best photo spots, lighting conditions, and even venue staff.
No Extra Costs: No travel or accommodation fees.
Local Recommendations: Can suggest trusted local vendors like florists or makeup artists.
The Case for a Destination Photographer
You’ve Found 'The One': You love their unique style above all else.
A Fresh Perspective: New eyes on the venue can create original, creative shots.
Specialist Skills: Perfect for specific wedding types like adventure elopements.
Ultimately, what matters most is that you love their work and feel a great connection with them.
