Katarina Nichol Photography

I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography from my base in Croydon, bringing a calm, modern and natural approach to every wedding I photograph. My work is about storytelling: quietly watching, anticipating and recording the tiny gestures, laughter and unscripted moments that together become the story of your day. I favour authentic, unforced images over staged poses so your wedding photos feel true to you — warm, timeless and full of life. Why choose me? I combine a documentary sensibility with a friendly, reassuring presence. Couples tell me they appreciate how I make the day feel effortless: I stay discreet during ceremony and reception, step in gently for family group shots, and carve out comfortable, short portrait moments so you don’t miss the fun. My aim is simple — to give you a relaxed experience on the day and a thoughtfully edited collection of photographs that bring back the emotions and atmosphere years from now. My approach is practical and personal. Before your wedding we talk through the flow of the day, the images that matter most to you and any special traditions or surprises you’re planning. On the day I blend into the background, observing and capturing reportage moments, while offering light direction when needed for creative couple portraits. I prioritise natural light and composition that feels honest and contemporary, delivering images that work beautifully in both printed albums and as cherished digital keepsakes. Although wedding photography is my primary focus, I occasionally photograph events and family gatherings; these are offered as complementary services but my core expertise is wedding reportage and bridal photography. Working across Croydon, Surrey and London, I’m used to a wide range of venues — from intimate registry ceremonies to country-house celebrations — and I enjoy finding the right backdrop to suit your style. Photography is my vocation: I love being part of weddings, helping couples relax, and turning fleeting moments into lasting memories. If you’re planning a wedding in Croydon or nearby and want natural, unobtrusive wedding photos that truly tell your story, I’d love to hear about your plans and how I can help preserve your day.
