Berkshire Wedding Photographer - Caroline Nixon Photography Ltd

**What to expect on your wedding day**

On your wedding day, I typically arrive at the venue around an hour before the scheduled start time. This allows me to capture the venue details—beautiful, untouched scenes—before your guests begin to arrive.

Depending on your preferences, I can also photograph the getting-ready moments of both the bride and groom. These behind-the-scenes images often become some of the most personal and cherished from the day.

During the ceremony, I discreetly document every key moment: the groom waiting at the altar, guest arrivals, the bride’s entrance, vows, exchange of rings, the first kiss, and the signing of the register. Many couples also choose to include a confetti shot after the ceremony, which often results in vibrant, joyful images.

After the ceremony and before the wedding breakfast, I’ll guide and capture family portraits—this tends to be the ideal time when everyone is together and looking their best.

Throughout the day and into the evening reception, I focus on candid, storytelling photography. From the spontaneous laughter during speeches to the cutting of the cake and your first dance as a married couple, I’ll be there to document it all with a natural, unobtrusive style.

But my role doesn’t stop at photography. I see myself as part of your support team on the day. Whether it’s coordinating with your event planner, offering guidance during the schedule, or helping with small but important details—like pinning on a buttonhole—I’m there to help things run smoothly.

My photography style is relaxed, fun, and natural. I avoid overly posed shots, choosing instead to work quietly in the background to capture genuine moments—the ones that you might not even notice as they happen, but will treasure when you look back. re when you look back.

**The Booking Process**

When you first get in touch, you’ll receive a complimentary, no-obligation quote via email.

If you decide to move forward, I’ll provide a contract outlining all terms and conditions for your peace of mind. Once the contract is signed, a small booking deposit is required to secure your date and time.

You’ll then receive a booking confirmation email along with a receipt for your deposit.

Around two to three weeks before your wedding, I’ll be in touch to go over the final details. We’ll discuss the timeline of your day and talk through the key moments you’d like me to capture. This is also when the final payment is due.
