Full Description
Hi, I’m Nik, I am a Northerner and a proud Boltonian,
First a little about me
I live in Bromley Cross in a cosy home I share with my wife Laura, our son Reuben & our feline friend Tiger & I love taking photographs of people getting married.
Why Weddings?
Why not?! I get to be part of the greatest party and celebration between two people in love alongside their friends & family. Getting to hang out with happy people and create treasured memories for them all IS THE BEST JOB (if you can call it a job!).
My Style
I am a relaxed, chilled and outgoing individual, which I feel has helped define my style for me.
For the majority of your day I will be floating around, blending in & capturing special moments as they happen in a documentary style. Then as you look back over the images from your wedding day you get the chance to relive it again. Be warned though, to get some of these shots I can get quite close! I’ve not been told off for it yet!
When it comes to the couples’ portraits these normally take about an hour but I break it up into little pockets throughout the day so you don’t miss that quality time with your wedding guests. Also by doing this we get different light and a different feel to each set of images.
I love symmetry, leading lines and strong composition so we use this when working with you to create your images. Don’t worry about posing as we keep it simple and fun as I want you to enjoy it.
Where Did It Start?
Its really hard to pinpoint where my love of photography started but I do remember always taking photos of my mates skateboarding at school. I then progressed to photographing live bands & working at nightclubs . Now fast forward to today & here I am, shooting weddings & loving every second of it.

Top guy and great photos!
Nik shot our wedding on Saturday (28th October) and we couldn't have found anyone better. The weather wasn't the greatest, so he got through the group shots quickly so guests weren't left out in the cold for too long and could go back inside. He only stole us away for what felt like a short period of time to do the couples shots so we could spend more time with our guests. In the whirlwind of the day I didn't notice Nik much (a sign of a good photographer IMO) but my Mum later said that she saw Nik 'working his butt off'!
We haven't had the full photos back yet but the sneak-peeks look amazing! He's really caught the colourful theme of the wedding which I can only imagine would be quite difficult on such a grey day. I will be recommending Nik to all my friends and am a 100% happy with the service provided. Nik is truly a great guy and a fantastic wedding photographer.

A lovely wedding of one of my best friends
Nik was very practised, and organised guests and the couple in a very effective manner. He knew the order of events better than the rest of us and I liked the more "personal touch" photos best of all, like the stock "emo band" shot. Great work!

Friendly & professional with amazing skills
Nik did the photos for our "not-wedding", but did so much more than just stand behind a camera.
His relaxed, easy-going approach helped keep us calm, and his advice throughout the planning through to the event itself was impeccable. This guy knows how to wedding, knows how to get special shots that we wouldn't have even thought about.
The photos he gave us perfectly captured the spirit of the day as well as making lots of lovely people look great.
Would unhesitatingly recommend for his calming influence alone, but the quality of his work as well means I'm glad he photoed us!

Most amazing day of our lives
Loved working with Nik for our wedding pictures. He was amazing from the minute we booked him. He is so professional and dedicated to getting the right picture for you. We received our pictures a couple of weeks ago and we love every single one of them. I cannot thank you enough Nik. I cannot recommend Nik enough. If you ever book him I promise you will never be disappointed.

Friendly, Fun, Fab Photographer!
Nik brought smiles to everyone from the first to last shot. He made everyone feel at ease and captured all the special moments to create great memories that will last forever! He was friendly as well as professional and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

What is your most memorable wedding?
Recently had a wedding with fire breathers which was pretty epic!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Cool
Fun
Relaxed
Easy Going
What about your business are you most proud of?
That I continue to better myself and to put my couples at the front of everything I do. I am proud to be able to say I love what I do!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do things the way you want to do them but never put speeches between courses!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Wedding transport! I am a sucker for a cool car or vintage or retro ride.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We meet up and have a chat over a beer (first rounds on me) and discuss the plans for the big day. After the meeting if couples wish to book I will send out all the paper work and a deposit would be required to confirm and secure the booking. Normally a month or two before the wedding I get back in touch to confirm final details for the big day but I am always on hand from the point of booking through to the wedding day should you need me for anything.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I honestly don't think there is a single one photo for every couple as everyone is so unique. Some nice alone time and couples portraits are always a key part.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Take it in and dont let it ruin the day! Dance in the rain!!
Describe how you got into photography.
By accident, no really. I was working in clubs and bars at uni doing photography and then it sort of spiralled out of control and now here we are and I wouldn't change it for the world.
