This was one of those weddings that I’d been very much looking forward to since we booked it in the spring. Laura and Kevin are a great couple, and despite living just a stone’s throw away from me in Sandbach in Cheshire, found me via the internet. It was clear that they embraced the documentary [...]

Consall Hall Gardens – Wedding Photography
September 1, 2011 – 3:45 pm
Staffordshire Wedding – Laurie and Sid Consall Hall Gardens is a remarkable venue. Amazingly, its grounds extend for 70 acres and contain six lakes. It’s a bit of a hidden gem lying in the Staffordshire Moorlands countryside, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District, and it was enormously satisfying to photograph Laurie and Sid’s [...]
Vinopolis Documentary Wedding Photography – Emma and Jamie Get Married in London
May 18, 2011 – 11:15 am
Two weeks ago, I was privileged to photograph the wedding of good friends Jamie and Emma at Vinopolis, just south of the Thames in central London. Vinopolis’s Great Halls (where the reception took place) form an impressive venue for a wedding – two enormous caverns with 50 foot high brick walls built under a nineteenth-centry [...]
Kingscote Barn Wedding Photography – Chris and Em
December 24, 2010 – 11:53 am
A week or so before Christmas, I returned to Kingscote Barn, a now familiar location on the edge of the Cotswolds. Chris and Em’s wedding took place in that short space of time between the two recent cold snaps. This was a real blessing in so far as all the guests (and the photographer!) were [...]
Capturing the Decisive Moment in Wedding Photography
October 28, 2010 – 11:27 pm
Documentary photography is the art of capturing the events of the day without interfering in those events, to tell a story without becoming part of that story. It is well known that Henri Cartier-Bresson described the concept of the “decisive moment”, that moment in time that can convey so much more than the material sum [...]
Wedding Photography at Kingston Country Courtyard, Dorset – Wendy & Conor
June 25, 2010 – 9:53 am
Wendy and Conor’s wedding took place on the 2010 Spring Bank Holiday at this lovely barn in Dorset which has views that stretch as far as Corfe Castle and the Isle of Wight. It was a laid-back and joyous occasion right through from the civil ceremony to the chaotic but obviously enjoyable Barn Dance. Here [...]
Wedding: Cheltenham & Kingscote Barn, 21/11/09
February 27, 2010 – 1:54 pm
This post has been republished for technical reasons; apologies if you’ve seen it before. It rained all day from the moment the bride left the house to the end of the reception so I was working with winter November indoor light both in the church and at the reception. For this reason I think this [...]

The ceremony took place at Bristol Registry Office and the reception at Circomedia, which is a converted church now used as a circus venue. This wedding will be featured in a forthcoming issue of Perfect Wedding Magazine. See more of my wedding photography at: tomnichollsphography.com.
