NOTTINGHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

For couples who love natural & modern photos

Hello, I’m Alison

a Nottingham Wedding Photographer with 16 years of experience photographing weddings. My wedding photos are a blend of natural and classic portraits teamed with candid photos showing the celebrations of your wedding day. I am available for local weddings as well as across the East Midlands, including Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
My style is to take a blend of classic and modern portraits teamed with candid documentary photos. What this means is that there are no awkward poses, no saying “cheese,” and you are not away from your wedding guests for too long (unless it’s your choice).

I preserve the moments you didn’t see

You don’t always see everything, and as your wedding day whirls by, you may not remember everything. It’s the photos of fleeting moments and glances which can’t be repeated—showing the love, the laughter, the smiles, and the tears—that you’ll treasure in years to come.

I capture real weddings with emotion

I’m a wedding photographer whose goal is to document candid moments. It’s these moments that couples don’t see but love when they look at their photos. I have a pretty good instinct for when something is going to happen, too, from the way people interact with each other.

I AM ALWAYS

AND WHEN THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE,

EMBRACE THE RAIN

I keep shedding happy tears each and every time I look at them.

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.

FAQ’s about my approach to photographing weddings.

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

The number of photos varies from wedding to wedding and the length of coverage. As an average, I provide approximately 400-500+ individual images for all day coverage.  There will be less images for shorter wedding coverage.   I don’t provide photos for the sake of making up numbers nor do I keep photos from you because I have reached a set amount.  My main focus us to provide you with quality photos.

I provide most of the photos in colour and black and white. Therefore the number of photos quoted above more or less doubles.  If I feel a photo doesn’t work in colour, I may just provide the black and white version. However, if you wish to see the colour, just ask.

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 which is what couples will comment on when they have attended friend’s weddings.   The more you have, the more it will impact on your celebrations.

You may require less or slightly more but this is always something I talk to couples about prior to your wedding.

Yes.  All the details that make your wedding unique deserve to remembered.

Note: This may not apply to shorter coverage depending on the length of coverage booked.

This varies depending on how long you would like. As long as I know what you want, I will plan accordingly. It could be around 15-20 minutes for small venues but for larger venues with more grounds to cover, this may be longer. If you only want a handful of couple portraits – that’s ok too. I’m not one of those photographers who whisk couples away from their guests for hours  (unless, of course, you want me to) and my “posing” is natural rather than forced poses. 

For all day coverage, photos can take up to 8 weeks to be ready to view especially during peak wedding season. I do my utmost to present them to you as soon as possible. It’s very important to me that I provide you with the best quality service and give my full attention to your photos. In the first instance, your photos will be uploaded to a password protected gallery which you can share with your family and friends. Shortly after, your USB will be posted to you.

Yes, once you have viewed your photos, you can order a wedding album.

The turnaround for wedding albums is up to  8 weeks from the date you approve the final layout. All album content and layout is submitted to you for approval before ordering.

All weddings including church weddings, civil ceremonies, same-sex weddings, Chinese tea ceremonies and Asian weddings. I have photographed at many different venues such as stately homes, castles, village halls and marquees to name but a few.

Travel is included for all day coverage within the East Midlands.  For shorter coverage, mileage may be charged of Nottingham.   Mileage is charged at 45p per mile from NG5 7NE.   If overnight accommodation is required due to distance and start and finish times, these costs will be agreed with you at the time of booking.

Living in Nottingham, I have photographed 100s of weddings at East Midlands Venues and throughout the UK. 

Yes. Please take a look at my engagement session page for more information.

Yes. I offer coverage from 2 hours+ – please visit my micro wedding page for further information and fees.

Fortunately, I’m fit and healthy and, to date, I’ve never not been able to attend a wedding.  I would have to be on death’s door to not turn up and in this instance, I would call upon the network of photographers I have to step in.  

This is my full-time job which I am fully committed to.   

Yes. As a professional photographer, I have full public liability insurance.
