Real Weddings In Derbyshire And Leicestershire

This gallery contains photos of the preparations phase of the wedding - i.e. the time before the wedding ceremony starts. This generally means photographs of the brides preparations but can also involve the grooms preparations. Photos of preparations for a wedding in Nottingham will involve the photographer taking pictures of the bride having her makeup applied, her hair done and putting on her wedding dress. It can also include photos of the details that make your wedding outfit unique such as earrings, tiaras and, of course, your shoes.

During the wedding preparations I aim to be as unintrusive as possible taking pictures of events as they happen and not interrupting, directing or interfering, Making sure that you get pictures which are as real, natural and emotional as they are unique.

If you would like photos of preparations for your Nottingham, Derby or Leicester wedding which are as unique as those on this page, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
