Nicola Gough Photography

Nicola Gough is a specialist wedding photographer based in Telford, photographing relaxed, authentic weddings across Shropshire and the surrounding counties. Weddings are her happy place — she loves colourful confetti, pretty sunsets, live music and the unscripted moments that make each day unique. With years of experience and almost 300 weddings captured, Nicola’s approach centres on storytelling: she notices the little, honest moments that mean the most and turns them into photographs you'll cherish. Why choose Nicola? Because she treats your day as if it were her own: warm, calm and quietly enthusiastic. Nicola values real connections over posed perfection. She blends a gentle documentary style with thoughtful couple portraits, so you get natural, emotional images alongside a few timeless keepsakes. Whether your celebration is a rustic barn, a marquee in a field, a tipi, or a garden at home, Nicola knows how to read the light and the mood — and loves photographing fairy lights, flowers, dogs and family scenes with equal relish. How Nicola works with couples is straightforward and friendly. From your first conversation she aims to put you at ease: a relaxed chat about your plans, a pre-wedding/engagement shoot if you’d like, and practical planning so the photography fits your day, not the other way round. On the wedding day Nicola blends into the room, capturing emotion and spontaneity without fuss, but will happily step in to guide a few natural portraits when the moment calls for it. Guests often comment that she felt like another friendly guest — present, professional and reassuring. Nicola’s passion for weddings is personal as well as professional. When she’s not photographing couples you’ll probably find her with too much coffee, some cake, and discussing films with her husband — that same warmth and storytelling sensibility informs every gallery she creates. While wedding photography is her core specialism, Nicola also offers occasional family mini-sessions and business branding shoots, bringing the same relaxed, honest style to those sessions. If you want a Telford-based wedding photographer who values authenticity, atmosphere and joyful storytelling, Nicola Gough is ready to listen to your plans and capture your day with heart.
