Nicki Lyall Photography

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.
