Graham Nixon Photography

Graham Nixon is a Guildford-based wedding photographer specialising in storytelling-led, documentary wedding photography for couples across Guildford, Surrey and London. With more than two decades behind a camera and a background in television and editorial work, Graham brings a fast, intuitive eye to weddings — seeking atmosphere, connection and the blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make a day feel real. His work is best described as timeless reportage with an unrehearsed, editorial feel. Graham doesn’t stage or demand performance; instead he blends into the background like a quiet guest, ready to step forward when a portrait needs a little nudge. The result is professional wedding photos that aren’t just pretty — they transport you back to what it felt like: the hugs that lingered, the laughter the playlist could never reproduce, the way the light hit a face at golden hour. Why choose Graham? He sees weddings as stories, not checklists. Years of shooting in fast-paced environments for clients such as MTV and the BBC taught him how to read a room, anticipate moments and remain unobtrusive. That skill translates into photographs that feel honest and cinematic; images you’ll return to again and again because they’re rich with memory, not just style. How he works with couples is simple and human. Preparation is collaborative: a few conversations in the weeks before the wedding to understand the flow of the day and what matters to you. On the day, most moments are captured naturally; at one calm point Graham will borrow you for a short 20-minute wander for relaxed portraits — no poses marathon, just gentle direction so the pictures still feel like you. After the wedding, he curates and edits the images with care, delivering a gallery of professional wedding photos that tell your story. While Graham’s principal focus is wedding photography, he can also capture engagement moments when required — always with the same documentary sensibility. If you want a wedding day photographer who prioritises presence over performance, who values truth over clichés, and who will produce images that genuinely mean something, Graham Nixon offers an authentic, experienced approach rooted in storytelling and craft.
