About Nick Brightman Photography

Pleased to meet you!

I’m Nick,  a pret­ty chilled, cof­fee-drink­ing, roller-coast­er-lov­ing, vegetarian.

I love pho­tograph­ing wed­dings for cou­ples who don’t take them­selves too seri­ous­ly or feel the need to stick tra­di­tion just for the sake of it.

Some­thing that I seem to have in com­mon with quite a lot of my cou­ples, is that I’m not a big fan of hav­ing my pho­to­graph tak­en — as evi­denced by this one my Dad took when I was a baby!!

 

But I think that’s influ­enced by approach to pho­tog­ra­phy, try­ing to blend in so that I cap­ture moments unno­ticed, hid­den in plain sight. 

About Nick Brightman Photography

Born to Photograph!

You could say I was born to be a pho­tog­ra­ph­er as my Dad was one too, both pro­fes­sion­al­ly (as an Indus­tri­al Pho­tog­ra­ph­er in Sheffield) and as his life­long pas­sion and hobby. 

I was giv­en my first cam­era when I was six!

How­ev­er, my career for many years was in hos­pi­tal­i­ty, work­ing as a manger in pubs and restau­rants, before decid­ing to become a Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­ph­er in 2014.

My pre­vi­ous job was the per­fect foun­da­tion for what I do now as it was all about peo­ple, and observ­ing human behaviour.

Get­ting mar­ried and start­ing a fam­i­ly of my own has also giv­en me a whole new per­spec­tive on life which I has influ­enced my work.

Here are a few favourite fam­i­ly photos

A Few Random Things About me

I pro­posed on a Gon­do­la in Venice — and near­ly fell in — they are sur­pris­ing­ly wobbly!

My wife did­n’t know where we were going on hon­ey­moon until we got to the air­port. It made her get­ting vac­ci­nat­ed interesting!

I’ve vis­it­ed 38 coun­tries (at the last count) and 5 con­ti­nents. Real­ly hard to pick favourites but LOVE Italy, Viet­nam and India

“The best deci­sion we made was hir­ing Nick, he was an all round love­ly guy right from start to finish.

The pho­tos from the Big Day are tru­ly beau­ti­ful and at times bring us to tears (Hap­py Tears!).

They tell our love sto­ry per­fect­ly and we can­not thank you enough.”
