Nottingham and Long Eaton wedding photographer Paul Eyre delivers relaxed, creative wedding photography and engagement shoots. His storytelling approach captures emotion and timeless moments.
I’m Paul Eyre — a Long Eaton-based, award-winning wedding photographer who specialises in telling the story of your day through relaxed, creative imagery. My work is driven by a belief that photography should capture feeling as much as form: the stolen glances, the laughter, the small details that mean everything when you look back years from now. Winning East Midlands Wedding Photographer of the Year (2019) was an honour, but what truly matters to me is helping couples feel at ease and creating images that reflect who they really are. My approach is deliberately informal and friendly. I plan and prepare with you to understand the moments you value, then work quietly and confidently throughout the day to document it all. I integrate with your guests, guide formal group shots from your list, and look for those spontaneous, storytelling moments that bring an album to life. Every image is personally crafted in my own style so that your wedding collection reads like a unique visual story — not a set of staged photographs. Practical reliability is as important as creative flair. I’m fully insured, travel across the East Midlands from Long Eaton, and always bring backup equipment so your day is covered no matter what. If logistics require it, I can arrange a trusted second photographer to ensure every angle is captured. For many couples I include a polished HD storybook-style slideshow to relive the day, and I work with award-winning labs to produce hand-made albums and fine photographic prints when you want a lasting keepsake. Before weddings I often recommend a relaxed engagement or pre-wedding shoot — it’s a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and helps us build rapport ahead of the big day. I also offer relaxed outdoor and mobile-studio portrait sessions for couples and families as a supporting service, though weddings remain my primary focus. Photography has been my creative outlet since childhood. After studying for a Diploma of Photography and turning a long-standing passion into a career, I’ve spent years refining a style that balances artistry with genuine human connection. Based in Long Eaton with my family, I bring both professionalism and warmth to every booking. If you’re looking for a Long Eaton and East Midlands wedding photographer who will listen, blend in, and deliver timeless, emotional images, I’d love to hear about your plans.
