I’m Shaun Madden, the photographer behind Spendlove Photography, based in Gretton near Corby. Since first photographing weddings in 2007 and working full-time as a professional from 2010, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of wedding days across the East Midlands. My work is rooted in a simple belief: the best wedding photographs come from real moments, unobtrusive observation and a calm, friendly presence. My approach is quietly documentary with a gentle, human touch. I focus on capturing emotion and connection — the small, unplanned interactions as much as the big moments. I aim to make couples and their families feel comfortable so smiles are genuine and poses feel natural, not forced. That relaxed atmosphere helps even camera-shy guests enjoy the day and trust that I’m there to preserve the story, not to interrupt it. Working with me is straightforward and personal. I prefer clear, friendly communication from our first conversation through to delivery. I listen to what matters most to you, advise on light and locations when helpful, and adapt to the flow of your day so that nothing important is missed. On the wedding day I keep a low profile for candid reportage shots and step forward when formal group photos or couple portraits are desired. Attention to detail matters — I look for the little things that make each wedding unique, from the ribbons and flowers to the laughter at the speeches. Your finished images reflect that care. I deliver high-quality photographs that tell the narrative of your wedding day — moments of joy, calm, celebration and intimacy. If you’d like physical keepsakes, I can help with album options, but my primary focus is on producing images that you’ll want to revisit for years to come. If you’re planning a wedding in Corby or elsewhere in the East Midlands and want a photographer who combines experience, discretion and a warm, personal approach, I’d love to hear about your day. Working together, I’ll capture a faithful visual story you can share with family and treasure for life.
