Nicki Jones Photography

I specialise in relaxed, natural photography for couples who want to feel completely at ease on their wedding day. My approach is unobtrusive and story-telling led, which allows moments to unfold naturally so I can capture the genuine emotion from your day.

I’ve been photographing weddings for several years now, capturing love stories across Shropshire and beyond. In that time, I’ve documented everything from intimate elopements to full-day celebrations, always focusing on real, unposed moments. My work has grown through word of mouth, kind recommendations, and couples who connect with my natural, relaxed style. Every wedding I photograph adds to my experience, and I’m always learning, evolving, and finding new ways to tell each story honestly.

Photography has always been about people for me; the connections, the emotions, the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. I started this business because I didn’t see myself reflected in traditional wedding photography, and I knew there had to be another way.

As someone who understands what it feels like to be a bit awkward in front of the camera (and to not quite “fit the mould”), I’ve built my approach around making people feel comfortable, seen, and completely themselves.

I’m especially passionate about creating an inclusive, relaxed space for all couples including those who are neurodivergent or just don’t vibe with overly posed, traditional photos. Your wedding doesn’t need to look or feel a certain way, it just needs to feel like you.

I’ve been photographing weddings for 10 years, capturing relaxed, natural moments for couples across Shropshire and beyond. Over that time, I’ve documented a wide mix of weddings from intimate elopements to full-day celebrations while always focusing on real, unposed storytelling.

A real highlight in my journey has been being recognised at the Global Wedding Awards, where I was honoured in both 2024 and 2026, including winning Best Natural & Relaxed Wedding Photographer 2026 - Shropshire. It means so much to have my work recognised in a way that reflects what I truly care about creating honest, laid-back photography that feels like you.

Most of my work comes through word of mouth and recommendations, which honestly means everything. It’s a reflection of the experience I create for my couples, not just the photos I deliver.

My couples are usually the ones who say things like “we’re awkward in front of the camera” or “we just want the day to feel relaxed” and honestly, that’s exactly my kind of people

They’re not overly fussed about traditions or perfection. They care more about how their day feels than how it looks, focusing on time with their favourite people, lots of laughter, and creating something that feels true to them.

I often work with couples planning laid-back weddings, whether that’s a countryside celebration, a DIY setup, a cosy barn, or something a little non-traditional. Many of my couples are looking for natural, candid photography rather than posed shots, and want a photographer who feels more like a friendly presence than someone directing the day.

I’m also really passionate about working with couples who might feel a bit out of place in the “traditional wedding world” including neurodivergent couples or anyone who just wants to do things their own way.

At the end of the day, my clients just want to enjoy their wedding without pressure and have photos that genuinely reflect it.
