Specialist wedding photographer based in Chesterfield. Niki captures natural, storytelling wedding photos and cinematic highlight films, with CAA-approved drone coverage and TV-production expertise.
I’m Niki Jarvill — a seven-time award-winning wedding photographer and videographer based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. With a background in TV production (roles at ITV and the BBC) I approach every wedding as a story to be told: considered, cinematic and emotionally true. My work focuses on capturing the honest, unscripted moments that make each day yours, while delivering the technical polish you expect from a seasoned professional. Why choose me? My experience blends documentary sensitivity with production rigour. I care about composition, light and timing, but I care most about people — helping couples, families and guests feel comfortable so I can capture relaxed, authentic photographs. I’m known for a warm, calm manner that lets laughter, tears and quiet glances come through naturally in the final images and films. My approach is collaborative and straightforward. We start with a pre-wedding consultation to understand your plans, must-have moments and the mood you want to preserve. On the day I work unobtrusively, anticipating moments rather than staging them, while stepping in when a posed portrait or group shot will add something meaningful to your album. After the wedding, I craft the imagery with a careful edit that honours the day’s atmosphere — colour, pacing and music are treated with the same storytelling intent whether I’m delivering photographs or a cinematic highlight film. Complementary aerial services are available; as a CAA-approved A2 CofC drone pilot I can add dramatic perspectives that lift venue shots and group scenes or create memorable cinematic sequences for your highlight film. I also offer photo-and-video options for couples who want both beautiful stills and a cinematic keepsake. Based in Chesterfield, I shoot across the UK and welcome venues large and small. I work from a fully equipped home studio when needed and pride myself on responsive communication, thoughtful planning and timely delivery. Above all, I’m driven by a genuine love for weddings — helping you relive the emotion, detail and joy of your day through photographs and films you’ll return to for years to come.
