Nick Clayton Photography

I’m Nick Clayton, a Bury St Edmunds–based wedding photographer with many years of experience and a straightforward aim: to capture the real moments that make your day unique. My approach is relaxed, friendly and discreet — I concentrate on being where the story happens without getting in the way. Clients often tell me they value my calm presence, attention to detail and the way I connect with family and guests to create natural, meaningful images. Why choose me? I combine seasoned technical knowledge with a patient, observational eye honed over decades of photography. That background — including a lifelong passion for photographing wildlife and running hands-on workshops — means I’m instinctive about light, timing and composition. I use that experience to find authentic expressions and fleeting moments: the nervous laugh before the vows, a quiet glance during the ceremony, the candid joy on the dance floor. Reviewers describe my work as professional, organised and unobtrusive; many couples appreciate that I focus on documenting the day as it unfolds rather than staging every scene. How I work with you: from our first conversation I prioritise your needs and vision. I listen to what matters most — family groups, key guests, particular moments you want captured — then plan quietly around that. On the day I’m attentive but unobtrusive, balancing documentary coverage with a handful of timeless portraits when you want them. I’m known for being organised (some couples have mentioned I even arrived the evening before to prep), adaptable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone is relaxed and confident in front of the camera. My promise is simple: professional wedding photos that tell the story of your day. Based in Suffolk and serving Bury St Edmunds and surrounding areas, I deliver images that feel honest, evocative and ready to print and frame. If you’re looking for a warm, experienced wedding photographer who blends technical skill with a gentle, client-first approach, I’d love to hear about your plans and help preserve those memories for years to come.
