18 epic silhouettes and sunset photos bursting with colour that you just have to have

Silhouettes are a beautifully creative way to capture a couple and to give them another range of Couples photos. I always look for a combination of putting a couple in a highlight/lit area and if we can frame around it all the better! The sunset version adds colour especially if it’s one of those evenings where it just bursts with oranges!

Timing is key, early mornings or late evenings provide the soft light needed, whilst a clean open environment helps create that perfect contrast. The right setting makes all the difference. Where I would love my couples to always be close together, it’s always best to be apart a little for space and to define.

What do you think? Are you loving these? Feel free to add a comment and like.

10 MOMENTS OF REAL JOY AND EMOTION

I consider it a privilege to be able to capture such a definitive and joyous occasion as a couples wedding day. Whether it’s a classic English wedding or a multicultural wedding.

It was only the other week when I met one of my clients for dinner to show them their wedding day photos that I discussed how lucky I am to be able to be part of and booked by so many different cultures and communities. Where as if I only captured English weddings I would have never experienced other cultures and rituals.

The real struggle isn’t getting the shot, it’s capturing something that actually means something to you. Natural photography is about slowing down and being present enough to catch the honest moments, the reality as it is. Because when a photo holds real feeling, it doesn’t just get seen… it gets felt.

Is that what you’re looking for for your wedding day?

BRIDESMAIDS REAL MOMENTS
10 real moments with Bridesmaids

There’s something special about the moments before the dress goes on, the laughter, the nerves, the chaos and your bridesmaids keeping everything together (and occasionally slightly off track :) )

I always take a natural, documentary approach during this part of the day. No stiff posing, no forced smiles, just real moments as they unfold. The glances in the mirror, the last-minute dress adjustments, the champagne toasts and those little inbetween interactions that often end up meaning the most.

Your bridesmaids aren’t just part of the morning… they’re part of your story.

One of the biggest worries I hear is: “We’re awkward in photos”. Especially with your bridesmaids.
But you don’t need to pose at all.

With a natural, documentary style approach, nothing is forced. No stiff line-ups or overthinking, just real laughter, real moments, and the genuine connection you already have.

Your bridesmaids bring the energy, the calm and the chaos. That’s what makes the photos.

So what’s the real value? You’re not performing, you’re present. And those are the moments you’ll actually remember.

I LOVE spending time on the dance floor!
Here’s 20 awesome Dancefloor moments

It would be very rare that I don’t do at least 12 hours of coverage at most weddings and especially for multicultural weddings.

You can shoot me down if you want but Indian couples and their guests do it the best!

Two things… There is no other wedding dancefloor that’s packaged for a full 3 hours!!! And Indian Djs are some of the best on the planet, not only for skill and technique but for musicality too. Some, seamlessly mixing pop and hip hop classics into Indian dancefloor classics and accompanied by Dhol players makes it impossible for that dancefloor not to be rammed all night until the lights come back on.

It’s perfect for someone like me who loves to capture moments, moves and chaos.

From a technical perspective staying 2-3 hours on average till 11/midnight gives me the ability/time to photograph using flashes in 3 different ways normally with a 24mm and a 85mm (photographers I know some may think it’s crazy using an 85mm but a lot of the results I get are crazy good picking out individual people from the crowd):

1. I have a four off camera flash setup to fully light the dance floor no matter where I squeeze into on the space

2. I use on camera flash on both 85 and 24mm camera bodies

3. 24mm dragging the shutter for some cool lighting effects

Patience is key, like all true natural wedding photography, and there will always be specific people who bring it to the dancefloor more than others.

Whether you’re a live DJ couple or live bad couple, if you love action packed, movement, colour and watching your friends and family really show their true colours / leaving it all on the dancefloor… I definitely give you fantastic results and it’s so worth the 12+ hours investment in me.

20 Once in a lifetime, real, creative and colourful engagement photos

Engagement Photography has gone hand in hand with wedding photography with me for over 12 years of my 18 year professional career. It opens up the possibilities for environments, colours and light that wedding venues just don’t have.

Unlike wedding venues, I have no choice on the matter. We are where we are and we have to make use of what we have. 1 year into offering engagement shoots, I decided that I wouldn’t shoot the same engagement location twice so that a couple would have me at my most creative, never having shot there before and to help them think outside the box on where we could go.

When I did my first few engagement shoots, it opened up my eyes to not only becoming closer and more trusted by my clients (getting to know me, how I shoot, my character and seeing photos even before their wedding), but how creative it can be, given that we can literally go anywhere and do anything.

I have had the pleasure of covering engagement shoots around the country and around Europe. It not only gives couples some amazing colourful and creative photos of them, but it gets them used to the camera and their guests also get used to my work before their wedding.

The results are limitless, creative and truly once in a lifetime.

Where would you have yours?

YELLOW? Is it me you’re looking for?
10 photos of all the yellow…

My word I love colour! I love searching for it at weddings, engagement shoots, proposals and pre wedding events.

With me as your photographer you can be sure that I want to not only give you something different and unique but thats also real and pops off the page with real colours.

Do you love colour too? The pops of vibrant colours mixed with natural moments in interesting environments?

Are you the type of couple that value uniqueness over formulaic and generic wedding photography? The same photos at the same venues on repeat? Or would you prefer someone like me that prefers to explore the possibilities to give you something truly unique?

Having a Midweek Monday-Thursday wedding?

Sharing love and joy to you by giving a special offer from 10-12 hours coverage around the UK starting from £1995.

II do love colour, but… here’s 20 high contrast, perfect black & white photos.

If you know my work, you’ll know I adore colour. It’s vibrant, expressive, pops off the page, it’s full of life and how most of your wedding gallery will be told by me.

But black & white… It will always have a place in my heart. Because sometimes, removing the colour removes the distraction.It lets you feel the moment more deeply.

Creatively, it allows me to think differently. Stylistically, it gives you something timeless sitting beautifully amongst the colour, not overpowering it, not replacing it, but elevating the right moments.

Here’s the important part:

I don’t convert images to black & white randomly.
And I don’t deliver full galleries in black & white.
I choose it intentionally. Only when the light, emotion and composition call for it.

Not every image works without colour.
But when it does… It hits differently.

That’s the value of having a creative photographer. Knowing which moments deserve that treatment and keeping it minimal so it stays powerful.

So tell me…
Do you love these kinds of moments in black & white, or are you firmly team colour? 👀👇

The other week I travelled to Birmingham after weeks of planning with Abdu to propose to the love of his life.

He rented an Air BNB in Birmingham town centre, had a decor company setup a beautiful arrangement and coordinated with Ramats friends to completely surprise her.

“Nick was a joy to work with from inception to delivery. Professional and talented. Planning and ex*****on was flawless and then the photos, simply put… stunning! He captured the true essence of the moment and for that we are forever grateful. Thank you Nick!”
