Kind Words
Over the years, my wedding and portrait clients have been very kind and sent me various messages of thanks. Here are just a few of them:
"His photos are real
works of art."
"We got our wedding album back very recently and it is gorgeous. The album itself is handmade and surprisingly heavy. It is a real family heirloom and will definitely last the test of time.
I couldn't recommend Nick (Parkershots) more highly!
"We got married in May 2024 and Parkershots was our wedding photographer. We chose Nick because we loved his work. We wanted to use a local photographer & spent a lot of time researching wedding photographers in the area.
"Parkershots stood out from the start. He was one of the rare photographers who both managed to create stunning portraits and equally gorgeous candid shots.
"Nick’s night portraits of Penshurst Place are particularly stunning. In fact, the one taken at our own wedding is now hanging on the wall! It also helped that Nick’s website featured a wide range of weddings and couples – so we could visualise how our photos might turn out relatively easily. It is safe to say that we were not disappointed!

"Nick was fantastic and the perfect photographer for us. We are not comfortable behind the camera but Nick made us feel very relaxed and we couldn't be happier with the results. The photos are beautiful and all our friends and family have commented on how nice they are.
Would highly recommend the engagement shoot as this was really useful in getting to know Nick and particularly for us camera-phobes it showed us how it would all work on the big day.
Haven't got a bad word to say about Nick and the service we received from start to finish.
"Couldn't recommend him highly enough!"

moments, & adapt seamlessly to the flow of the day.
Nick’s experience with weddings at Wadhurst Castle was evident in every shot—he knew the best angles, the perfect lighting as the sun set, and where the most beautiful photos could be taken. We’re still amazed at how he seemed to be in multiple places at once, capturing every precious moment, while blending effortlessly with our guests.
Our wedding album is filled with genuine, heartfelt images that reflect the joy of the day perfectly.
Since our wedding day we've had so many guests tell us how great their interaction with Nick was and how he seemed to be having just as much fun as the guests.
We couldn’t be happier with our choice and highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond!
Thank you Nick!

"When we were planning our wedding at Wadhurst Castle, Nick came highly recommended as a photographer, & he truly exceeded all expectations. We explored his blogs, Instagram, and inspiration photos and quickly realised he was exactly who we wanted for our special day. From our first Zoom call, Nick answered all our questions thoughtfully and made us feel confident we were in the best hands.
We were looking for someone who could make us feel at ease, capture authentic candid
Nick’s natural talent & keen eye caught the spark in every photo.
"Nick's communication was great from when we were deciding on a photographer and during the initial video call, right through to on our special day. He was amazing at fitting in the shots we wanted and coordinating the group shots. Not to mention it was the hottest day of 2023 on our big day!
I wouldn't hesitate booking him for your big day if you want the heartfelt moments captured and your wedding venue showcased beautifully."
Nick handled everything with ease &
like the pro he is.

... despite the fact that our venue was around 200 miles away from where Nick is typically based.
"There was not a single second of doubt that we made the right choice with Nick, as he was brilliant from the moment we first engaged with him. In the lead up to the wedding, he not only advised us on the photography element of the day, but advised us on other things that we had not previously considered.
On the day he captured every special moment and several unexpected ones. We could not recommend Nick more. What a talent and top person in general."
"We first met Nick at our best friends wedding, he was fantastic on the day and the resulting photographs blew us away.
"So, when we got engaged, we knew we wanted Nick as our photographer before we booked anything else"

"Nick was great to work with from our very first conversation, up until after our wedding day. He is a friendly, strong communicator who made an effort to understand what we wanted from our photos, and worked to incorporate our requests into his efficient approach throughout the celebrations.
We didn't even realize so many different moments had been captured throughout the day!
"Though it was an incredibly windy day, we made the most of it and the photos came out beautifully."
Lainey & Brandon

And what’s more it ...
,and when you’re capturing such vulnerable moments that’s an incredibly important attribute."
If you're looking for a wedding photographer and Nick is available, spend the money and book him. You will be blown away.”
We went through the photos with all the family here and everyone was blown away by how many intimate moments you managed to capture, with and without the subjects attention. It felt you like you were able to capture everything that went on – and I know this is only through you being 100% focussed throughout the whole day.
There was never a moment where you were not thinking about how to get the perfect shot. Running around, switching cameras and constantly checking the light and photo composition. It really has paid off.
With the editing its clear you took on board our viewpoint with regard to the other wedding photos of yours we have seen and there is a clear distinction, which encapsulates the vibe of our wedding perfectly.

"...it felt like a friend was photographing for us..."
“Please read it all.
It's likely that most wedding photographers have a very high rating by virtue of the customer and the occasion. But I have now seen Nick's work at 4 family and friends weddings & now our own and he is truly in a class of his own.
This is feedback we sent to him after we received the gallery: "Nick, I really can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put in to our special day.
You were truly flawless – and this is not something I would say lightly.
"I would book Nick again in a heartbeat, & would advise anyone looking for a Wedding photographer to book Nick! "
Nick was our wedding photographer for our wedding in June this year. From our initial Zoom consultation i knew Nick was going to be our photographer. He was friendly and relaxed and we felt really comfortable with him, which was important to us as we would be spending so much time with him on the day. He kept us up to date with emails from the day we booked to the day of the wedding.
Nick was full of suggestions on the wedding day for some lovely photos whilst listening to the ideas that we wanted. He blended into the day perfectly and we didn't feel pressured at all and were able to enjoy our day whilst Nick got some amazing shots. We received a sneak peak image whilst we were on our honeymoon which is so beautiful, it had me in tears. The rest of the photos were available to view online shortly after and we love each and every one of them. We are having trouble narrowing them down to put in our wedding album.
Thank you so much for capturing our special day.

"Nick's overall style, composition, use of light, & general eye for a good image, leapt out when we were researching photographers."

"Working in magazines and PR, we have dealt with a vast number of professional photographers over the years, therefore, we were always going to be picky when it came to the pictures of our big day!

"We can not recommend Nick highly enough!
"Neither of us like having our photo taken, however Nick made us feel comfortable ..."
... & at ease from our first zoom call through to deciding on our wedding album. The photographs are of a fabulous quality & have captured our memories perfectly, there was a perfect mixture of organised group & more relaxed candid shots.Our wedding album is beautiful and there were so many different options to choose from."
"His use of changing light and skies, and different locations within the venue made it nearly impossible to narrow down our photo choice when making our selection for the album.
"We’ve gone from a couple that isn’t normally keen on photos of us, to now having completely stunning ones of the pair of us, family and friends that we absolutely love. We can’t thank him enough, and can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
"On the day of our wedding he felt like a friend and guest making us laugh and naturally smile, helping to capture the natural stunning shots that he got. He also ensured we had plenty of time to enjoy the day whilst still capturing all the key group and couple shots that we wanted to remember the day by."
His attention to detail is incredible, for example taking time to capture our rings, the venue and bridal party accessories in a completely stunning way to create invaluable memories, and making sure that for my dress reveal photo for my dad a mirror was positioned perfectly so the front and back of the dress, together with both our reactions were visible within the same photo.
"Nick at Parkershots & his photos are truly incredible & we are so glad that we picked him to capture our special day."
"We aren’t normally a couple that poses for photos so before we met Nick we were anxious about feeling awkward, especially in couples shots, but Nick made us feel completely relaxed and at ease from the moment we met him at our pre wedding shoot.

"Nick was helpful, organised and enthusiastic on the lead up to the day, very accommodating and flexible on what we wanted and how we wanted it.
"We are absolutely thrilled with them. A very nice guy who made us feel at ease - very much recommend."
"On the day he was super helpful & discreet but also everywhere all at once & captured the most amazing pictures & memories of the day.

"We absolutely love our wedding photos and will treasure them forever"
- it is going to be so difficult to know which ones to put in an album (we might have to have several!). We would recommend Nick to anyone - he is such a lovely guy and a complete professional at the same time."
"We are absolutely delighted with our wedding photos and with the experience we had with Nick on the day."
"He struck the perfect balance between organising us and helping us through the various shoots without imposing on our special day. In terms of his photography skills, the photos speak for themselves - we couldn't be happier! We would definitely recommend Nick to anyone considering using his services."
Lesley & Mark

Unprompted, our guests told us the next day what a lovely guy Nick was, and how he just felt like a natural part of the Wedding party.
Nick must have covered so many Weddings, and yet he always seemed to be ‘in the moment’ with us, and his enthusiasm never waned. He was super organised, making sure he included all the shots we had asked him to take, but he was also really quick to react to a developing situation or funny/unusual shot that presented itself. We could see how meticulous Nick was with his setup, but also could see all that creativity going on in his mind, as he leapt around with lights or trying a different angle or view.
We had been a little worried that not having a videographer we might have missed capturing important moments. But we needn’t have worried – Nick managed to capture every single important / funny / poignant moment of the day, while never being intrusive – and his obvious enjoyment and enthusiasm for his work was infectious. Looking at the photos, it enabled us to see the parts of the day we missed – bridal party preparation, and groomsmen preparing and on the way to the venue – and you really feel like you were there in the moment with them.
Everyone who has seen the photos has mentioned how stylish they are – classy, elegant, so evocative of the day – and we just can’t stop looking at them. In fact our only complaint about the whole process is that Nick has produced so many beautiful pictures, that we can’t make up our minds which ones to have printed or made into an album!
If you are looking for a Wedding photographer who will go the extra mile to make sure your special day is recorded exactly as you want, with stunning pictures to look forward to, then we can’t recommend Nick highly enough!"

"From the moment we saw Nick’s photos of previous Weddings online, we knew he was capable of some stunning photography – who knew you could get so much enjoyment from looking at other people’s Wedding photos! We were also impressed with his online details where he guides you through the whole thought process of what you want to capture on the day – and he mentions all those tiny details you would never think of yourselves.
We had taken 25 years to get married, so it was really important to us to have a Wedding that was a bit different from the normal kind, but very intimate and special to us. At the interview with Nick he put us completely at ease, and it was clear Nick had picked up on the things that were going to be important to us.
By the time of the Wedding, we already felt Nick was like a friend, and we had complete confidence in him capturing the day.
"So we were confident Nick would produce some good photos, but when we got them back … Wow ! Just wow!"
The quality of the pictures was absolutely fantastic, more than we could have ever hoped for - and we could see why Nick was excited to share them with us !

"HIRE THIS MAN!! We are absolutely over the moon with our wedding photos, we can not praise Nick enough. We have received so many compliments regarding not only the quality of the photos but the beauty in which he has captured our day. Nick is a dream to work with before and during the wedding day, offering helpful advice and guidance."
"Best wedding planning decision we made choosing Nick... absolutely faultless."
"Knowing that Nick had photographed at Wadhurst Castle many times before was a massive bonus for us.."
Nick's style and approach is professional yet very personal, allowing us to simply relax during the day as we knew he had everything in hand........when the photos came back they were even better than we could have ever imagined!
We would 1000% recommend Nick to anyone looking for a photographer. He is also just a thoroughly lovely human being too 🙂 "
Jen & Steve
Wadhurst Castle, Sussex
"Simply incredible photos!
From the moment we contacted Nick he made us feel at ease, taking the time to really get to know Steve and I both as individuals as well as a couple. Nick really understood the type of wedding "feel" we were going for and also the type of photographs we were looking to get.
... as he knew all the amazing spots to take the photographs, from which angles and at what times of the day to get the best light...which also took the ever changing English weather into account too.
"The photos Nick took at our wedding look like a magazine shoot - they definitely have the 'wow' factor. It's a difficult choice which ones to print! On the day we had a lot of fun with Nick and felt relaxed with him.
"It seemed like there were at least 2 of him - he had a knack of being everywhere at once!"
Thank you Nick for capturing such stunning memories of a wonderful day - we will treasure your photos forever."

"We knew as soon as we started to plan our wedding that we wanted Nick to be our photographer from seeing his work at our close friends wedding a few years prior; ...

"My husband & I are so pleased that we chose Parkershots to be our wedding photographer & would wholeheartedly recommend Nick."
"We loved the style of his work and from the first time we spoke to him we knew he was the right person for our big day. On the day itself he was so friendly, warm and made us all feel at ease, our guests all commented on how lovely Nick was. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and completely captured all the key moments and memories of the day. Thank you so much Nick!"
"A true genius behind the lens!"
As photography dullards, myself and the Mrs could not put into words what exactly we wanted, Nick, as previously mentioned, listened, and gained an idea of the sort of people we are and tailored the photograph style to suit. He produced a perfect mix of pictures that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
I would recommend to anyone, Nicks photos really do tell a story and perhaps more importantly, he makes you feel comfortable throughout the process."
"Nick is the most friendly & passionate photographer I have ever come across, creating for us the most beautiful tailored wedding shots i've ever seen. Nick listened and spoke to us more like a good friend than a hired photographer.

"Nick is an absolutely fantastic photographer. He shot my wedding in July and we’ve just received our photos which are so amazing. He put us at ease on the big day and captured everything we asked of him and more. He is such a lovely person too. "
"I genuinely can not recommend him enough as a photographer."
Amy & Terry
Winters Barns, Kent
"He really had it all - the epic wide-angle shots, the detailed close-ups, the soft, romantic shots, quirky angles, flattering colours and to top it off he was a fantastic guy to spend our wedding day with."
Lots of guests commented on how friendly and unassuming he was on the day, never getting in the way but managing to take some really great and natural looking photos. And the quality of his images was actually amazing. Really really detailed images, whilst somehow making every face look flawless.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Nick!"
Emily & Andrew

"The absolute best photographer I could have hoped for. I thought I had unrealistically high expectations for my wedding photos after having looked through about 200 different photographer’s websites, but Nick went above and beyond what I thought would be possible.

"We have just received our photos and are blown away."
"Nick is amazing! We had Nick for our wedding photographer in August and he really was great! On the day he made sure we got all the photos we asked for and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Nick!!"
"Nick was a recommended photographer at Wadhurst Castle where we got married last August & ...
"... after seeing his stylish shots we knew he was the photographer for us!"

"Thank you so much Nick! My husband and I got married in September this year and using Nick was a wonderful experience. Nick made us both feel so relaxed on the day which allowed for wonderful photos. Highly recommend, and in fact, my maid of honour is planning to use him for her wedding! 10/10.
"The images we received are stunning - we could not have asked for a better photographer!"
Jess & Sam
Nettlestead Place, Kent
Nick provided an online preview the day after our wedding, & the full online gallery not long after. Our flash drive with the full photo package was also with us in a very timely manner. Nick continued his high level of service after our wedding day concluded, right up until our full photo package arrived in the post.
Thanks again for your great work Nick!"

"The end results were amazing - we couldn't be happier with Nick's photos of our wedding."
"Nick went above and beyond for us on our wedding day, and also throughout all of our communications leading up to our big day.
He was extremely friendly, polite, and patient, with us and also all of our guests on the day.
Emma & Richard
Wadhurst Castle, Sussex
"Nick was an excellent choice of wedding photographer. We were looking for someone that could capture the day in a natural and relaxed way, without the photographs being too heavily stylised as you see with a lot of modern wedding photography. Nick was a pleasure to work with, extremely organised and professional throughout. He listened to the type of shots and edit style that we were looking for and delivered just what we asked for, ...
...we are so pleased to have his beautiful images to look back on for years to come!"
"Finding the right photographer for our wedding day was one of the things which was most important to us when planning our wedding. We had ruled many options out because I am very picky! Then we found Nick & what more can I say? He was absolutely fabulous, not just on the day but also on the run up to the wedding, answered every email and query we had and on the actual day was more than we could have asked for from a wedding photographer. And of course most importantly gave us the best set of wedding photos we could have asked for!
"I honestly could not recommend Nick at Parkershots highly enough : He is professional, reliable, helpful, & most importantly gives you the most incredible photographs!"
Kirsty & Rod
Winters Barns, Kent
"Nick is so passionate about what he does and it really showed in the amazing photos he took for our wedding. We didn't want just the standard, traditional wedding shots so Nick went the extra mile to really tailor the photos to us and to think outside the box. He has the knowledge and ability to not only create technically beautiful images, but more importantly, to really capture the moment - the character of a person, an emotion, an atmosphere.
"He has an amazing way of relaxing everyone he works with so his photos are real and heartfelt."
Thank you Nick, you really captured every moment of our wedding beautifully!"

I took a very wedding wise friend to a local wedding fair and luckily came across Nick. His photo's stood out from everyone else's and we were in awe of how beautiful everyone looked. Even my Mother was impressed and thought he might even manage to get a good photo of her!
We met Nick before the wedding day for a pre wedding shoot. We were not too sure what to expect from this. Both myself and my partner are pretty camera shy. But Nick made it effortless and very enjoyable. It was great to have a test run of knowing how to stand (even if we did giggle through the whole thing) and give feedback about what we liked before the big day.
On the days itself we hardly knew Nick was there, as he mingled in to get the shots throughout the day.
Seeing the photos for the first time, when the day itself whizzed by so quickly for us, was amazing. All the photos were just stunning, the colour, quality and clarity look too good to be true. I couldn't get over how handsome my, now husband, looked in his suit. And considering he was petrified about the day somehow Nick got some completely relaxed pre service photo's of him (which are my favourites)."
Lucy & John
Eastwell Manor, Kent
"All our family & friends thought the photo's telling the story of the day were gorgeous, we couldn't be happier."
"When it came to finding a wedding photographer I was slightly dreading it. There is so much planning and decision making with weddings it can all become very overwhelming.
Melody & Paul
Penshurst Place, Kent
"Nick was our wedding photographer & was absolutely fantastic."
"He was very friendly & helpful throughout the whole process from initial planning meetings to final album production. My wife and I trusted Nick with the choice of photo locations on the wedding day and he did an amazing job taking us around the venue grounds to create beautiful photos of our special day. We highly recommend Nick if you want someone who is both professional and friendly."
We felt at ease whilst having our pictures taken thanks to his calm and relaxed approach. He was also very discreet – sometimes I was completely unaware of his presence and was pleasantly surprised by some of the moments he managed to capture. To conclude, our photographs are stunning and we can’t thank you enough. We highly recommend Parkershots Photography!
Georgina & Martin - Gravetye Manor, Sussex
"He is an exceptionally talented & experienced wedding photographer"
My husband and I chose Nick to photograph our wedding earlier this year and couldn’t be happier with the photographs received. I first came across Nick as he is one of the recommended suppliers at Gravetye Manor. Having viewed his work online and meeting him in person, we quickly made the decision to book him.
– his compositions are creative and he understands light and uses the best techniques.
"Nick is no doubt the best wedding photographer & we were so lucky to have him photograph our special day."
"He is so unintrusive you don't realise he's there snapping away and that means he captures some really special intimate pictures that you then get to cherish forever. He helped us create the most beautiful wedding album and parents albums which we can (and will!) bore people with for years!!! Thanks so much Nick xx"
