My name is Nick and I've been a professional photographer for over 7 years. I am also a member of Master Photographers Association, licentiate in weddings. As a wedding photographer, my approach can be described as a blend of photojournalistic style and artistic direction. Here are some key elements to highlight: 1. Photojournalistic style: Capturing candid and natural moments throughout the day, documenting the genuine emotions, interactions, and events as they unfold. 2. Artistic direction: Utilizing my creative vision and expertise to compose visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing images. 3. Posing guidance: Providing tips and guidance during the 30-minute artistic photo session to help the couple and their wedding party pose comfortably and elegantly, ensuring they look their best in the photographs. 4. Personalized touch: Tailoring my approach to each couple's unique style, preferences, and wedding theme, capturing their individuality and story. 5. Attention to detail: Paying close attention to the small details that make the wedding day special, such as décor, accessories, and intricate elements. 6. Storytelling: Crafting a visual narrative that tells the story of the couple's special day, capturing the essence, emotions, and atmosphere of the wedding. 7. Authenticity: Striving to capture genuine and heartfelt moments, allowing the couple and their loved ones to relive the joy and emotions of their wedding day. 8. Technical expertise: Utilizing professional equipment and photography techniques to ensure high-quality images that are well-composed, properly exposed, and creatively edited. By emphasizing these aspects, I can communicate my unique approach as a wedding photographer, combining photojournalism with artistic direction and providing guidance for stunning posed shots.
Super chatty when needed, quiet when needed. A beautiful harmony between the two. :)
Effective planning is key to a smooth and stress-free wedding day. Start early and create a detailed timeline that includes all the important events, from getting ready to the reception. Collaborate with your wedding planner, if you have one, and communicate with vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page. If you book me, with 3-4 weeks before the wedding days, we will have a consultation session, where we will discuss the final timings and details of your special day.
My favourite period is Renaissance, and Leonardo da Vinci is my influence for portraits, but I love the new art, photographers as Annie Lebovitz, Claudiu Guraliuc, Sergey Ivanov.
I had the incredible opportunity to photograph a wedding at Arley Hall, an iconic venue nestled in Cheshire, England. This place holds a special significance as it was featured in the popular TV series "Peaky Blinders," having main character Thomas Shelby/Cillian Murphy. This wedding was truly special for me as I had the opportunity to take photos in this amazing place.
As a wedding photographer, my goal is to capture a wide range of moments that tell the unique story of the couple's special day. I aim to create a diverse collection of images that evoke emotions and bring back cherished memories. Here are the types of moments I strive to capture, with approximately 90% in a photojournalistic style and around 10% in posed shots: 1.Candid Moments 2.Emotional Exchanges 3. Natural Interactions 4. Details and Décor 5. Photojournalistic Style 6. Posed Portraits 7. Group and Family Portraits By combining photojournalistic storytelling with a touch of posed shots, I strive to create a well-rounded and comprehensive wedding album that reflects the couple's love, the atmosphere of the day, and the personalities of those involved.

When photographing weddings, the most important thing to me is capturing the genuine emotions and unique moments that unfold throughout the day. While technical proficiency and artistic composition are essential, I believe that the heart and soul of wedding photography lie in preserving the emotions, connections, and stories of the couple and their loved ones.
