Hello!

I'm Nick English and thank you for visiting my wedding photography website!

As you have probably worked out by now, I am a Lancashire wedding photographer photographing weddings all over the North West of UK, Clitheroe & The Ribble Valley Lancashire, Cheshire and the Lake District Cumbria.

I photograph weddings in a relaxed, unobtrusive style.

My style can be described as relaxed, romantic, in-the-moment and natural.

I love my photos to capture the fun and real side of a wedding, not just a load of photos of people looking at the camera. I beleive in letting people be themselves and not having any one-size fits all poses that have been done millions of times before.

I try to blend in as a guest for the majority of the day, capturing photos of you and your friends & family that you will look back on and cherish for being real and genuine.

About Me...

When Im not photographing weddings, my favourite things in life are travel, seeing and experiencing new things. I love music, and countryside walks.

My Wedding Photography Approach...

I like my photographs to tell a story…

For the majority of the day, I like to blend in as a guest, taking photographs of events that happen before me, without interfering. I feel this is the best way to photograph a wedding, allowing yourselves and your guests to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot.

 I believe the best photographs come from the natural, genuine moments throughout a wedding day and I work hard to position myself to be ready to capture these moments. Posing for a photograph has never been my thing and I much prefer an in-the-moment photograph over a posed one.

Family - the part of the day couples worry about the most is the family photos. I have a strategy to ensure we get all the family photos done as quickly as possible, giving you more time to enjoy your wedding and speak to guests etc. I suggest aiming for about 10 different groups and doing this as early as possible (usually immediately after the wedding ceremony) to get the best results. Having a bridesmaid or (sober) groomsman on hand definitely helps!

Morning Preparations - one of my favourite parts of the day is the morning preps, the pre-wedding nerves, the excitement, the chaos, the butterflies… I arrive with you at least 2.5 hours before your wedding ceremony to capture as much of this as possible - from both sides. While I usually spent more time with the girls (there’s usually a lot more going on!), I do like to get photos of the lads too. Whether its doing cufflinks, tightening ties, having a relaxing pre-wedding pint or all of the above, the morning of your wedding day is something you’ll remember forever, so it’s important to capture it.

Just The Two Of You - I then ask for another 10 minutes with just the two of you, to go for a walk around your wedding venue. Nothing awkward, no cheesy poses, no clichéd wedding photographs that make you cringe… just you two for 10 minutes being yourselves. This is another part of the day that most couples dread - it is my job to make this as much fun as possible and I promise I wont ask you to smile for the camera.

Rather than all of the photos being taken at the same time, I will often do 2 sessions with just the two of you, one during the drinks reception (usually the shorter of the two, as to not make you miss too much!) and then another just before the meal (when all the guests are being seated and finding their tables etc) - where we will have full use of the venue without anyone else being there. I try to keep these sessions fun, moving and for about 10 minutes each - so roughly 20 minutes in total over your whole wedding day.

Bridesmaids & Groomsmen - I love to try and involve as much as possible into my photos, they wont all be just of you two, I think it’s important to include your closest friends and family into the pictures. In keeping with my style, I like these to be fun, as natural as possible and genuine.

I have photographed weddings across the UK and abroad with destination weddings in Italy, Slovenia, France and Greece. I am always happy to travel.

I photograph weddings all over the UK. I was nominated for The Wedding Industry Awards in 2016 where I was a regional finalist for the UKs best wedding photographer.

My style can be described as relaxed, documentary, informal, romantic.

In order to put 110% into every wedding I photograph, I only take on a limited number of wedding photography bookings each year. Please get in touch either via the contact form, or directly through email at nickenglishphotography@gmail.com to tell me about your wedding!

I have a 6 year old little boy called Zack who is quite possibly the most photographed child in the world! Here he is at 3 months old and 2.5yrs old!
