NOTTINGHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Natural wedding photography capturing how you felt and how incredible you looked

Relaxed wedding photos documenting your love

Hello, I’m Alison, a Nottingham-based wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience. From intimate ceremonies at Nottingham Council House to relaxed countryside weddings at Stubton Hall, I work with couples who want their day captured naturally where the real moments shine through.

I understand how important your wedding day is. You want to feel comfortable in front of the camera and confident that every moment, even the ones you don’t see, will be captured. When you can picture yourself in the photos looking your best, surrounded by your favourite people, that’s when the excitement really starts to build.

If you are a couple who would like your wedding day documented naturally with beautifully styled portraits, you may find my approach to wedding photography appealing. I’ll be there for every laugh, tear, hug and move on the dancefloor.

Here’s how I tell the story of your day:

You’ll relive the moments you felt and the glances you didn’t see.

You’ll smile as you look back on the fun everyone had.

The emotions will be captured, without interference.

What to expect on your wedding day

Finding the right wedding photographer goes beyond beautiful images and your experience matters to me just as much as your photos.

I’ll be with you and your guests throughout the day, so it’s important that you feel comfortable, not just in front of the camera but with me being at your wedding too.

On your wedding day, I’ll blend naturally into your celebrations, ensuring everyone feels relaxed while I capture your wedding day unfolding. I’m never over the top but always there to guide you through planning and get the most out of your location. If you’re worried about being in front of the camera (as many couples are), my personable nature will put you at ease without making things feel forced.

I photograph a mixture of naturally posed portraits and documentary photos but, being a bit of a people watcher, I’m drawn to photographing weddings in a predominantly documentary style. Over the years, I’ve developed a pretty good instinct for anticipating moments from the way people interact with each other. I capture those small interactions that might otherwise go unnoticed, all without interrupting the flow of your day.

Although I’m based in Nottingham, I photograph weddings throughout Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, as well as across the rest of the UK.

Our wedding photos are perfect in every way

Chris and I can’t thank you enough Alison. Our wedding photos are perfect in every way. You have captured everything just as we wanted. We’ve received endless comments from friends and family about how fantastic the photos are.


Your communication from the offset was 100% and on the day you made us all feel relaxed which allowed you to get some amazing shots of our children.


I keep shedding happy tears each and every time I look at them. Thank you again Alison.

Alison manages to spot every smile,laugh and tear throughout the day


Having looked at a large number of local photographers, it was two things that sold Alison to us. One was her amazing ability to capture emotions of the day – you can’t help but smile at the joyful faces in her photos and secondly, her photographs of children – which are simply breathtaking. Our wedding had 5 flower girls and 2 page boys so this element was extremely important to us.

Alison is relaxed and easy going, she ‘blends into’ the wedding and was never once pushy. I barely noticed she was even there a lot of the time. I felt really at ease around her and I booked her straight away.

The wedding photos are simply stunning, capturing some very special memories that we will treasure forever. She manages to spot every smile, laugh and tear throughout the day, and captures them beautifully. Her natural style of photography and the later editing makes for the most gorgeous photographs.

The photos taken of the children are the best we have ever seen, through them we can see all of the fun they had in the day and they look adorable

I would unreservedly recommend Alison. She is professional, friendly and above all extremely talented.

About Alison

Nottingham Wedding Photographer since 2009

I believe that where there’s love, there are moments to capture and through photos, those memories grow in value with time.

When couples and families trust me to document an event for them, whether it’s a wedding, a newborn photoshoot or a family portrait, I approach it with a creative flair and thoughtfulness as I know the photos will become part of a family heirloom.

I’m relaxed and am frequently complimented on my warm and easygoing personality, which helps put people at ease in what can sometimes be an unnatural situation for them.

If you are looking for a Nottingham photographer to create some magical memories for you, I’d love to hear from you.

About Alison

MORE THAN A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

When people ask what photography genre I specialise in, I always say “people” because for the past 16 years, I’ve photographed them at every stage of life. While weddings and newborns usually take centre stage, I also work with families and professionals for personal branding sessions.

Wedding FAQs

I’m based in the heart of Nottingham, but I regularly photograph weddings across the East Midlands to venues such as Norwood Park in Southwell and Thornbridge Hall in the Peak District. Coverage starts from 2-hours for micro weddings – perfect for elopements or registry office ceremonies – through to 9-hour full-day photography – ideal for bridal preparations up to the first dance. If you’re planning a wedding further afield, I travel across the UK, and am more than happy to put together a bespoke wedding package should you require this.

Of course. I appreciate that everyone likes some formal photos, but I suggest these are kept to around 6 different group photos.   This is so that you and your guests can enjoy the day without waiting around for endless group photos – a comment I often hear from couples who have attended a friend’s weddings.   I’m always happy to work with you as to what you want.

This will depend on the length of coverage you book. This can be from 3 weeks for micro weddings and up to 6-8 weeks for all day coverage, during peak wedding season. I do my utmost to present them to you as soon as possible.

That’s great.   You can message alison@alisonedwardsphotography.co.uk or call/WhatsApp me on 07977 499473. Or you can complete the contact form on my website and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
