ABOUT CHARLOTTE
Artistic Wedding Photography
I believe that a wedding is more than just a sequence of events – it’s a vital ritual. My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been a professional wedding photographer in Nottingham serving the Midlands and the UK since 2012. My mission is to tell your story with an artistic eye, a calm heart, and a completely honest lens.
My work is deeply rooted in the world of fine art. I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art Photography, a period of study that fundamentally shaped how I see light, composition, and human connection. During my degree, I had the incredible honour of working in the darkrooms alongside my tutor, the legendary John Blakemore. His mastery of the craft and the slow, intentional process of image-making remains the foundation of how I shoot today.
Documentary Style Inspired by the Masters
I find constant inspiration in the raw honesty of the greats. I’m drawn to the grit and irony of Martin Parr, the ethereal storytelling of Sally Mann, and the layered, painterly compositions of Saul Leiter. I also deeply admire the precise, powerful work of Simon Norfolk.
I’ve spent years supporting the FORMAT International Photography Festival, which keeps me connected to the very best in contemporary image-making. Whether I am shooting on high-end digital kit or
A Relaxed & Mindful Approach to Your Wedding Day
While my background is academic, my approach on your wedding day is entirely human. I’ve been told I have a calm, warm, and unobtrusive presence. I don’t shout or instruct; I observe and respond.
To maintain this creative energy, I am a dedicated yoga practitioner – Hotpod Yoga is my absolute jam. The discipline of staying present and focused in an immersive environment is exactly what I bring to a wedding day. This mindfulness is part of my professional practice; it keeps me centred, ensuring I don’t miss those fleeting, amazing moments – the quiet tear during a speech or the honest laughter between friends.

HIKING
When I’m not documenting weddings in the East Midlands, you’ll usually find me hiking through the Peak District with my loved ones. I’m an outdoors soul at heart, but I’m just as happy at home, recharging with my wire-haired dachshund, Pippa, on the sofa. We’ll usually be caught in front of a good travel or history documentary, or lost in a book.
I’m particularly drawn to the lyrical, dreamlike worlds of Haruki Murakami and Elif Shafak. I love their style of writing, where the everyday is infused with a touch of “magical realism” and the storytelling is deeply introspective. I think that’s why I love weddings; they are real-life stories full of that same quiet, incredible magic.
I’m a firm believer that the best photographs happen when you’re relaxed enough to be yourself – and I’m here to make sure that’s exactly how you feel!
