Specialist wedding photographer in Carlisle. Nic’s laid-back, candid style captures real emotions and unscripted moments across Cumbria, with friendly, creative direction for couples.
Red n Dead Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Carlisle, proudly focused on wedding photography across Cumbria and the Lake District. Led by Nic — a creative, approachable photographer with a passion for capturing authentic human moments — Red n Dead brings a relaxed, documentary-led style to every wedding. If you want memories that feel like the day felt (messy, joyful, real), this is the approach you’ll love. Why choose Red n Dead for your wedding day? Nic combines a warm, down-to-earth personality with a sharp eye for atmosphere and detail. She makes the whole day feel easy: calming nerves, spotting the tiny unscripted gestures that mean the most, and turning them into images that transport you back to those exact seconds. Her style favours candid emotion and natural storytelling, balanced with a few considered portraits so you end up with both story-telling imagery and beautiful keepsakes. How Nic works with couples: it starts with a friendly chat — she listens to what matters to you, your quirks, and the parts of the day you’re most excited about. On the wedding day she’s discreet when the moment calls for it and encouraging when you want direction. Her aim is to create a comfortable, fun atmosphere where you can be yourselves (yes, sarcasm sometimes included), which helps even the most camera-shy couples relax and enjoy the experience. Local knowledge is part of the package: having shot many weddings around Carlisle, the Lakes and Cumbria, Nic knows the best spots for light and landscape, how to read the weather, and how to work with any venue to make the most of your surroundings. Whether your celebration is intimate or lively, contemporary or unconventional, she adapts her approach to reflect your personalities. While weddings are the core focus, Red n Dead also offers engagement and portrait sessions to complement your wedding photography — perfect for pre-wedding confidence-building or capturing quieter moments together. Above all, Nic’s goal is simple: to create honest, creative photos that feel like you and make you smile years from now.
