Monkeymole Photography

I’m Monkeymole — a Kirkby in Ashfield wedding photographer who specialises in honest, documentary-led wedding photography. I aim to capture your day the way it actually felt: unscripted, emotional, and a little bit messy. My focus is on creating natural wedding photos and engagement photography that tell the real story of your celebration, not staged magazine shots that don’t match how you remember the day. Why choose me? I blend a relaxed, conversational approach with an eye for decisive, emotive moments. My style is built around getting people comfortable (even the camera-shy), keeping things fun, and making the most of those genuine interactions — from the tearful vows to the chaotic dance-floor moments. I’m known for my punchy couples sessions that get beautiful results without eating into your day, and for bringing a sense of humour and calm to what can otherwise feel hectic. How I work: I aim to be unobtrusive and connected. On the wedding day I move with purpose but without drama, looking for the real, fleeting moments and the small details that add up to your story. My process is collaborative — I’ll listen to what matters to you, advise on timing and light, and help create a relaxed atmosphere so you and your guests can be yourselves. The result is professional wedding photos with warmth and personality, suitable for prints, albums, and online sharing. Video is a valuable complement to photography, and while I don’t shoot video myself, I partner with a small group of trusted filmmakers who deliver beautifully crafted films that pair perfectly with my photography. Choosing a partnered videographer gives you a seamless “one team, one dream” experience: coordinated coverage, minimal overlap, and a matched visual tone across photo and film. Photography is what I live for — the storytelling, the human moments, the chance to turn a day into images you’ll keep forever. If you want a wedding day photographer who prioritises authenticity, warmth and a smidge of questionable humour, let’s chat. I cover weddings across the UK from my base in Kirkby in Ashfield and would love to see if we’re a good fit for your day.
