Jason Parnell Photography

I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Kirkby in Ashfield, bringing more than a decade of experience to every celebration I photograph. My approach is simple: tell your story honestly and beautifully. I focus on candid, documentary-led moments—the laughter, the quiet looks, the hands held tight—alongside a few carefully-crafted artistic portraits that give your gallery its timeless character. Why choose me? I combine steady, professional experience with a warm, relaxed manner that helps guests and couples feel at ease. Over the years I’ve photographed weddings across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and beyond, and I’ve been honoured as a regional finalist in the I Do Wedding Awards. That recognition comes from a commitment to creating professional wedding photos that reflect real emotion, not staged perfection. How I work with couples: it starts with a free appointment so we can chat about your plans, your personalities and the kind of photos you love. I listen first and advise second—helping you shape a timeline that captures the moments that matter. On the wedding day I aim to be a calm presence, blending into the day so guests behave naturally while I capture authentic interactions. After the wedding I deliver a thoughtfully edited gallery of images you’ll want to share and keep for generations. Engagement and pre-wedding sessions are a natural extension of my wedding work—perfect for loosening up in front of the camera and building confidence before your big day. While weddings are my primary focus, I also photograph families and events occasionally, bringing the same eye for storytelling to every shoot. My passion is simple: I love documenting real connections. Whether you want relaxed, documentary wedding photography or a few dramatic bridal portraits, I’ll tailor my approach to suit your day and personality.
