Martin Harris is a full‑time wedding photographer in Kirkby in Ashfield. Affordable, specialist wedding and engagement photography with a relaxed, natural approach to capture real moments.
I’m Martin Harris — a full‑time wedding photographer based in Kirkby in Ashfield, working across Derby, Nottingham and the wider East Midlands. I specialise in wedding photography with a straightforward promise: to capture the memories to last a life time. My approach combines a calm, confident presence on the day with a focus on natural, emotive imagery that reflects how you and your guests truly felt. Why choose me? I keep things affordable and personal without compromising on quality. I aim to put couples at ease so genuine moments unfold naturally — from quiet nervous smiles during preparations to the laughter and movement of the reception. I work unobtrusively to blend documentary-style coverage with gentle direction when posed portraits will create keepsakes you’ll love. That mix ensures you get authentic story-led photos as well as timeless bridal and couple portraits. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly conversation about your day and the moments that matter most to you. On the wedding day I stay attentive but discreet, anticipating emotion and detail rather than staging everything. After the event I carefully edit each image so you receive professionally finished photos that reflect the atmosphere of your day. I deliver images digitally so they’re ready to share with family and friends. Reliability is part of the service — I use professional Nikon equipment with built‑in backups and take practical steps to protect your images. DBS certification is available on request for peace of mind when working around children and vulnerable guests. Alongside wedding work I also photograph families and engagement sessions, which pair naturally with wedding coverage and give couples relaxed opportunities to create beautiful portraits before or after the big day. If you’re planning a wedding in Kirkby in Ashfield, Derby, Nottingham or elsewhere in the East Midlands, I’d love to hear about your plans and show you how I can capture them. Get in touch to discuss your vision and how I can help preserve those moments forever.
