Photography by Zoe Nickola

I’m Zoe — a Lancashire wedding photographer based in Chorley who loves capturing weddings across Chorley, Lancashire, Cheshire and beyond. As an authentic visual storyteller my work is guided by a bright editing style inspired by classic film photography. I aim to create images that feel timeless yet fresh, so when you look back you relive the whole day as if it happened yesterday. Why choose me? I believe the best wedding photography happens when you can forget the camera is there. My relaxed, discreet approach means I blend into your day, catching the small, candid moments that matter: the nervous laugh before the ceremony, the exchange of glances during the vows, the unexpected hugs and quiet, fleeting details. I prioritise emotional truth over forced poses and let your personalities lead the frame, creating an honest visual story of your wedding. My process is simple and personal. From our first conversation I listen to what you value most about your day — the parts you want documented and the mood you hope to create. I travel to you, scouting natural light and meaningful backdrops, and work unobtrusively alongside your schedule so the day flows naturally. Throughout the celebrations I focus on being present and attentive, anticipating moments rather than staging them. After the day, I carefully edit each image to enhance the bright, film-inspired colours and tones that define my signature look. What drives me is the way photographs keep memories alive. When the speeches are spoken and the flowers fade, the images are what remain — tiny time capsules of laughter, tears and connection. It really is the best job in the world, and I bring that enthusiasm and care to every wedding I photograph. If you’re planning a wedding in Chorley or the surrounding counties and want someone who values authenticity, warmth and a film-inspired aesthetic, I’d love to hear about your day and see if we’re a good fit. Let’s create photographs that you’ll return to again and again.
