    Exceptional

    We don’t have enough kind words to say about Nicola! After our initial meeting we didn’t bother meeting any other photographers for our wedding, her work was exactly what we wanted and we really loved her relaxed approach.
    Throughout the whole process Nicola was super responsive, kind and understanding. We’re naturally very awkward around a camera but she made us feel really at ease and made suggestions to help make the process better for us. On the wedding day, she was incredibly sweet, calm, professional and unflappable. We actually felt as though she was a guest, she fitted in so well and everyone commented on what a great choice of photographer we had made. Our full album has just been sent to us and we’re knocked out by the beauty and quality of the photos. She has a great eye for detail and captured everything we had asked for. We’re just incredibly grateful for all the work she put in to our day. Cannot recommend her enough!

    My words do not do Nicola justice! She capsulated every moment of the day and now have beautiful reminder of every treasured memory

    Wow! Where do i start. On our first meeting, i knew Nicola was exactly what i wanted and felt completely relaxed and reassured. She was able to guide me a few weeks before my wedding on what i might want as i still hadnt really known what i should be asking. I trusted Nicola completely so knew whatever she created, i would love. And boy was i not diappointed. Im obsessed with looking through my albums. Most of the pictures, we weren’t even aware being taken, and that’s what makes it so special. Every picture is natural and captured pure emotion of the day. I could go on all day for my love for this lady! Xx

    Wedding day

    Nicola was extremely professional all the way through from first meeting her right up to the big day, made us feel at ease as me and my wife don’t like having our pictures taken, we are amazed by our wedding pictures they are better then we imagined they capture the whole day perfectly, everyone at the wedding spoke of how friendly Nicola was and approachable with regards to any photos they wanted taken, would recommend to everyone

    Wow did we make the right choice of wedding photographer

    My husband and I dislike having our photos taken and were dreading this element of our wedding. From our first meeting with Nicola though we were completely put at ease. Her style of minimal awkward, posed photos in favour of secretly captured candid moments really appealed to us. Our pre-wedding shoot was a great opportunity to get to know Nicola and we (including our 2yr old) instantly warmed to her. We were blown away by the photos that she took. The same goes for our wedding photos. Nicola was a wonderful person to have photographing us on our wedding day. Lots of our guests commented on how nice she was and we are over the moon with the photos. She has perfectly captured the atmosphere of the day, magical moments with our dear friends and family, beautiful shots of the venue and we love our natural, unforced wedding couple photos that reflect us perfectly. The only problem is we now can't choose which photos to frame. We can't thank you enough Nicola!

    A perfect day captured perfectly by Nicola

    Nicola captured our wedding using the natural beauty of the Greek Island Hydra as a backdrop stunningly. Her empathy with our thoughts on the location and how it would be used was immediate ensuring our day was photographed perfectly.

    Nicola's professionalism in operating unobtrusively, in a manner that appears effortless allows your event to be captured in the most natural of ways. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nicola.

    Wedding photos


    Thankyou so much for photographing our wedding it deffinetly has been such a long wait and so much has happened In-between. The photographs of the day are perfect even more than we could ask for they captured the day perfectly and these photos are something that we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives as are all the other photos that you have taken for us. I LOVE photos I think people underestimate the importance of photos for example these photos are something that we will show junior when he grows up then possibly to his wife and then our grandchildren, don’t mean to be morbid but when people are dead and gone photos and memories are all you have left and that is why I love photos so much because for future generations you can really capture moments that they can then live through.

    So what I am basically trying to say is is that I appreciate all of the thought and hard work that goes into taking photos for someone’s special day and I could not be happier with our photos.

    Al my friends and family get commenting how lovely you were and how good the photos were and some of my family were unsure how natural photos would turn out but they have completely fallen in love with them so Thankyou so much xx

    Amazing photographer

    We highly recommend Nicola. She captured our wedding day perfectly, the photos are so beautiful especially the candid ones.
    Nicola spend time getting to know us as a couple through meetings and the pre wedding photoshoot. This meant she knew what sort of photos we wanted and how we acted together as a couple.
    We also ordered a wedding album, which is stunning!
    So so happy with everything Nicola has done for us.

    Absolutely perfect…

    The Secret Wedding Photographer captured not only the most special moments of our day, but the best moments and ‘in the moment’ interactions of our family and friends.

    Everything was so effortless and straightforward before, during and after our wedding day with Nic.

    Getting amazing photography is obviously the primary objective but getting to that stage with someone who genuinely loves what they do, cares about the outcome, is extremely organised, communicates everything clearly and to top it all off has absolutely outstanding skills as a photographer. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anymore.

    One of the biggest worries as a bride and groom is that you will miss out on spending time with all of your guests and miss out on ‘those moments’. Thanks to Nic, we have those moments to look at and means the absolute world to us both.

    We couldn’t recommend The Secret Wedding Photographer enough. Nic really is the best of the best and we are so lucky to have had her join us on our biggest days.

    Thank you so much for everything Nic!!!!
