Nik Bryant Photography

Hi, I’m Nik, I am a Northerner and a proud Boltonian, One day, I’ll have my own outdoor pizza oven. There WILL be pineapple. I live in Greater Manchester with my beautiful wife, Laura, our son Reuben, and our stupidly noisy cat, Tiger. I love eating out in central Manchester – anything Mexican,classy/dirty burgers,pizza – and I’m always up for a box set or a great film. Music’s a big deal for me. When I was a little boy, our house was always full of music – my folks were vinyl collectors, just like me. My son Reuben is actually named after one of our favourite bands (according to me, anyway – Laura remembers it differently!) I’ve played the drums since I was thirteen, and I was originally a live music photographer, before I realised how much I enjoyed taking pictures of people in love. I still work in live events and concert photography, if the event’s right. Live music photography taught me a lot about technique, particularly shooting in dark and tricky situations. But whether you’re shooting a church wedding or Alkaline Trio on the main stage, the common ingredient is emotion. Couples portraits without the fuss For your portraits, these normally take an hour in total, but I’ll spread that hour across the day, so you don’t miss that quality time with each other and your guests. You get a different light and feel to each set of images too. The evening portraits allow me to use more creative lighting techniques like off-camera flash, so we can really capture a little bit of magic for your signature portrait.
