Love in the city of rebels...
Hello, lovely readers! If you’re here, you’re probably planning a wedding or just love the idea of capturing beautiful moments. Either way, welcome! I’m Natasha a laid-back, slightly quirky Nottingham wedding photographer specialising in candid wedding photography, and I’m here to share a bit about what I do, the venues I adore, and why candid photography might just be the perfect fit for your big day.
Why Candid Wedding Photography Rocks
First things first, let’s talk about candid wedding photography. If posed shots and stiff smiles aren’t your thing, you’re in the right place. Candid photography is all about capturing the genuine, unscripted moments of your wedding day. Think of those sweet glances, spontaneous laughter, and the occasional happy tear. It's about documenting the real emotions and the natural flow of your wedding without interrupting the magic.
My laid-back style means I blend into the background, almost like a ninja (a friendly, camera-wielding ninja). This approach helps everyone feel at ease and lets me capture authentic moments that tell the true story of your special day.
Venues I Love in Nottingham
Nottingham is home to some of the most stunning wedding venues, and I’ve had the pleasure of working at quite a few. Here are some of my absolute favorites:

Swancar Farm is a dreamy countryside retreat that offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance. The rolling fields and stunning barns provide a picturesque backdrop for both your ceremony and reception. The natural beauty of this venue makes my job easy – every photo is a postcard moment!
