Award-winning Chichester wedding photographer Nicola Hudson (Adôrlee) blends 35mm film with modern digital to craft editorial, cinematic wedding photos that feel heartfelt and timeless.
Adôrlee is a specialist wedding photographer based in Chichester, led by founder Nicola Hudson. As an award‑winning wedding photographer, Nicola combines a fashion‑forward, editorial eye with a documentary heart to create professional wedding photos that are both cinematic and emotionally true. Her signature is the hybrid approach: pairing analogue 35mm film with modern digital techniques to deliver images that feel nostalgic, elegant and enduring. What sets Adôrlee apart is a deliberate balance between documentary realism and fine art. Nicola seeks the fleeting, unposed moments that reveal the genuine emotions of your day, then refines them with an editorial finish that evokes atmosphere and style. She embraces the small imperfections of film—the light leaks, the grain, the unpredictability—which add authenticity and a timeless quality to bridal photography and wedding day photography. The result is a collection of wedding photos that look beautiful on the page while preserving the honest feeling of the moment. Nicola’s process is thoughtful and collaborative. From initial conversations to the wedding day, she focuses on understanding each couple’s aesthetic and priorities so the photography feels personalised and unobtrusive. On the day she works discreetly to document ceremonies, celebrations and candid interactions, stepping in for crafted portraits that have a cinematic, editorial polish. Many couples appreciate Adôrlee’s ability to create calm, intimate portraits amid a busy schedule—images that feel effortless yet considered. Based in Chichester, Adôrlee photographs weddings across the UK and also accepts destination wedding commissions. If you’re drawn to bridal photography with an understated glamour and a sense of nostalgia, Nicola offers a small selection of 35mm film wedding photography with the option to add more film coverage. This curated approach ensures each gallery retains a cohesive, luxurious quality suited to contemporary couples who value both feeling and beauty. Nicola also shares her experience through occasional workshops and mentoring for photographers, though her primary dedication remains to capturing weddings. If you want a Chichester wedding photographer who brings editorial style, cinematic composition and heartfelt storytelling to your day, Adôrlee offers a specialist, bespoke experience built around your story.
