  • Hello & Welcome

    Please note that I now have limited availability for 2012 weddings. Bookings for 2013 weddings are now being accepted.

    I’m Nathan, a wedding photographer based in York, but travelling all over Yorkshire and the UK. I specialise in natural, spontaneous and unobtrustive wedding photography.

    The couples who book me often to do so because they are looking for a wedding photographer who understands the importance of capturing timeless images that tell the story of their day.

    The majority of my weddings are in York and Yorkshire. However, an increasing number of my enquiries come from couples who are based elsewhere in the UK.

    Please get in touch if you'd like to find out more or to arrange a consultation.

Engagement Shoot | York

More and more couples are choosing to have a ‘pre-wedding’ or ‘engagement’ shoot. I like doing them because it lets a couple get a taster of what they can expect on their wedding day and also because…..well because they’re just fun.

A while ago I read a piece in a national newspaper about a couple who had endured a cringeworthy engagement shoot. I felt for this couple, I really did. My engagement shoots are shot in the same way that I shoot my weddings ~ minimum posing, no cheesy/naff shots, no artificial props; just good plain old fashioned genuine emotion.

My Engagement shoots typically last between 1 – 2 hours. I’m happy to suggest locations to couples however I think its always best when the location is one that’s special to the couple and has meaning.

Image of the Week | Angela & Adam ~ King’s College, Cambridge

Adam & Angela met and fell in love whilst studying as students at Cambridge University. Both attended the University’s prestigious and beautiful ’King’s College’.

King’s College consists of a wonderful collection of buildings and special permission was given by the Church of England for Adam & Angela to be married in the college’s world famous medievil chapel.

I enjoy the quiet moments of contemplation, anticipation and solitute that you get in the build up to a wedding. This shot was taken as Angela started her journey towards the chapel. I was struck by the beauty of the Georgian staircase and Angela’s composure, confidence and calmness as she started her journey towards married life…..

Visual Supply Company | ‘before & after’

Ok, so there’s an awful lot being said on the web about the new VSCO film software for Lightroom. VSCO are based near San Francisco and have developed a camera specific raw editing tool. regular visitors to this site will know that I love all things film and so I thought that I’d give  it a go. Initial thoughts ~ I’m impressed. This picture was a 3 click conversion.  Also, the film emulations appear (to me at least) to be very, very accurate.

Fotograf fredric - Interesting. What preset did you use here?

Nathan - Hello fredric. WB and tone were adjusted in Lightroom. Then the 3 clicks in VSCO were 1. Fuji 400H + 2. Auto Black 3. Fade

Image of the week | Indian wedding ~ Surrey

I love first dances. I loved this one especially. Lee & Gurpreet’s wedding was a joy to photograph from start to finish and the day was a true celebration and coming together of cultures. 

I like it when first dances are slow. For me the first dance brings the formal part of the day to a close. It’s a chance for the couple to pause, take a breath and show their love off.

I often edit the first dance into black and white. However, this wedding (like most Indian weddings) screamed colour and so, well, I just kind of left that side of things alone.

Paul - Fantastic shot Nathan, You can really feel the atmosphere of the shot and your right it needed to be shown in colour. That light is pretty amazing too. Great work mate.

Nathan - Cheers Paul :)

James - Lovely tender moment!

Nathan - Thanks James, appreciate the comment

Image of the week | ‘Little Friends’~ Museum Gardens, York

Ok, so I know I already posted an image of the week. However, this is a new website and it’ll be at least another week before I am able to complete the content side of things. I figure on that basis that I can be forgiven a second image of the week post?

This shot is one of my favourites. It was a spontaneous, completely unplanned shot. I’d been shooting some more formal shots when I happened to come across these two. They were engrossed in conversation and it seemed as if they didn’t have a care in the world.
