LAURA & MIK
Film gives me the power of time travel.
I’m forever captivated by the glamour and art direction of Old Hollywood. I emulate these films’ perfect love stories and timeless beauty aesthetically through my work.
That classic style creates images with nuance and truth. Images that don’t date; that will be fresh, elegant, and beautiful, both now and in fifty years time.
I’m at a loss without my camera. Stopping time with a simple click, it documents my vision, and is the most powerful way to physicalise a moment. To this day, it still feels magical to be able to curate stories and capture truths.
I capture the raw, the pure, and the genuine. Those sincere and joyful emotions, captured with refined, sophisticated allure, create art. I capture precious heirlooms that I hope you might value as much as my parents valued theirs.
Hi, I’m Natalie, a wedding photographer shooting celebrations across the UK & abroad.
Photography is who I am, as well as what I do.
My journey started with my mum and dad’s wedding photo. They only had one, precious photograph from their most special day. This photo, so valued and treasured, showed me the value of photography; of art-made-memory.
Ensuring your memories live on through my images is my profound joy. My images, timeless and unique, evoke joy from every pixel.
I love to face the challenges of new venues, temperamental weather forecasts, and innovative wedding planning. Your celebrations are so special. I will never be complacent about that.
FAQs
-
Please get in touch as soon as possible to confirm my availability, however far in advance. My books are often full up to two years before a date. We’ll arrange an initial consultation, and once the deposit is paid you are on my books. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a much shorter timeline too, though - it’s always worth checking our availability.
-
I know how exciting it is to see those first few shots - so I will get back a ‘sneak peek’ to your clients within 48 hours after your wedding day so that you can share with friends and family, and relive the celebrations through your honeymoon. The full gallery will arrive approximately a month after the celebrations.
-
It’s crucial that we’re a good fit together. I like to have a Zoom my couples, where possible. We will always have a call or Zoom pre-booking. Once the date is booked, we’ll get a date in the diary for a face-to-face appointment with you to celebrate their impending nuptials and go through your plans in real depth.
-
A non-refundable booking fee of 20% is required to secure the date, with the remaining balance due 4 weeks before the wedding.
-
I don’t give exact numbers, as I want to provide you with any and all of the shots that epitomise your celebrations. However, on average you will be looking at around 800 photographs in the finished gallery (likely more if you opt for bespoke additions such as a multi-day event or additional hours).
-
I have over twenty years of experience working in photography. Having studied photography in college, I then worked in photography for the corporate world as well as in forensics. I also have photography qualifications. When I decided to work on weddings, I found my passion, bringing my abilities and artistry into people’s most special events.
-
I love to shoot weddings abroad. Travel and accommodation costs may apply. I love to shoot weddings in Italy and France mostly, but have travelled all over the world photographing gorgeous weddings.
-
I think that keeping photographs as true to tone and representative of the event as possible is really important. However, I will subtly and light-handedly edit every one of yourimages, ensuring your gallery is a body of photographs that work together to tell the story.
-
I will always be the primary photographer. I am happy to bring additional photographers into your package and I would recommend this for couples who have over an 100 guest count, so that all guests can be captured.
-
Yes, I have both public liability and professional indemnity insurance. I always bring back up equipment to every event
-
I’ve done this job for a long time and this has never happened, although I understand your need to have plans in place for every eventuality. If an unforeseen emergency were to occur, I have a team of colleagues whom I could call upon to capture the event. I would then edit it as usual, in the signature Natalie Lucy style.
-
There’s no such thing as bad weather! I know a rainy or stormy forecast can seem daunting when a couple had been hoping for blue skies, but some of the most one-of-a-kind and dramatic weddings I’ve captured have been in ‘bad’ weather. I promise not to let the couple get too wet! We can also keep the photography timeline flexible, around other scheduled events on your timeline, so that I can keep an eye on the skies and whisk the couple out at an appropriate moment if the weather clears.
-
Certainly - in fact, I send out a questionnaire a few months before the big celebrations. This is the moment for you to have a think about what group shots you would like. I recommend they keep them to a minimum, to give enough time for the more candid photography and to avoid guest restlessness, but I know how important it is to have family groups captured.

Friend. Creating a strong bond with my couples is important. I want you to be yourselves and revel in your newly-wedded bliss, whilst I create heirlooms that honestly capture your bond and your beauty. I believe my artistry is emphasised by the empathy I feel with the wonderful people whose weddings I shoot.
Weddings bring out the best in people. The joy, the childlike exuberance, the optimism. These celebrations give me faith in humanity, and in human connection.
From destination weddings to UK-based events, various religious and cultural ceremonies to modern soirees, intimate celebrations to larger exclusive guest lists, I’ve done (and loved) it all.
