Nicki Lyall Photography Full Description
I love capturing real people, honest moments & true emotions… with a bit of creativity thrown in for good measure! I am all about the smiles and the joy, the happiness and the laughter… but if you happen to have a little tear on your wedding day I’ll always capture that raw emotion too to really re-create the whole picture of your day so that every feeling you felt comes flooding back each time you look at your photos; a month later, 10 years later or even when you’re old and grey! Your wedding is quite possibly one of THE biggest days of your lives and the last thing you need is someone telling you what to do and when! I will mix and mingle in with your guests, making them feel at ease too. Every wedding I shoot is unique and I’ll be led by your plans – so my photos will always be unique to you too. If you need gentle direction or friendly hints as to the best light and where or how to stand for some group photos or couples portraits, my 9 years of experience allow me to direct this confidently and swiftly but by no means in a bossy way. I’m very friendly and laid back and hopefully you won’t realise I’m there for most of the day but if you do want a few group shots they should be part of the fun of the day and flow with your plans, not a necessary evil to get out of the way before you start to enjoy yourselves! We’ll have a giggle! As well as people, I love to capture all the details; your dress, the shoes, something borrowed and something blue (!)… all the things you’ve thought of and often made for your day, I will make sure I’ve photographed it all in an artistic way so you’ll never forget the efforts and lengths you went to in order to make your day so special and personal to you. Then there’s the ceremony, the speeches, the cutting of the cake, the first dance – I capture it all and have never missed a first kiss! But what do I do in between these moments? I tell stories through pictures, capturing your unique memories through my eyes.

Nicki is literally the best!
Nicki is literally the best! At our friends wedding, my now husband turned to me and said, "Babe, I've met the best photographer and we need to book her for our wedding!" And he wasn't wrong! After chatting with her for 5 mins I knew we had to book her! The photos turned out amazing and Nicki would have been booked for all of our friends weddings if she hadn't moved! Scotland, you've gained a real talent. We love you Nicki xxx

Nicki blended in as if she was a guest too
Nicki took the photos at our wedding in 2015 and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. We wanted very natural pictures to capture the day and details rather than lots of posed photos and that’s exactly what we got. Nicki blended in as if she was a guest too and is great fun to be around (I’ve met her at a couple of weddings) and she really puts you at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Nicki to anyone looking for a great photographer.

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

I actually remember them all I think! And I’ve shot well over 300 now.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed. Romantic. Fun. Candid. Reportage.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I’ve never missed a wedding due to illness in over 15 years of business!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Plan it just how you want your wedding day to go but don’t sweat the little stuff.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

So many! I love all the personal touches that make every wedding day unique to each couple.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

On the day I capture as much as I can naturally so you don’t even know I’m there. At smaller weddings I’m friendly and chatty so can happily mix in with your guests to put not just you at ease but also all your friends and family. There’s no process as such. Every day is different and I’m very much led by how each couple wants their day to go.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Don’t worry. I’ll be taking the pics 🤣🤣😜

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I don’t really get requests. Most of my couples just want their actual wedding day captured and not do anything too stylised or whacky!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Wellies and umbrellas!

Describe how you got into photography.

Pets and landscapes. Then babies and families. Then said no to a friends wedding. But she managed to persuade me and I loved it and the rest is history!
