Documentary Wedding Photography for Alternative & LGBTQ+ Couples in Brighton & Beyond

I photograph weddings for couples who care more about energy than tradition — the ones who want real moments, real emotion, and a day that feels like them, not a performance.

Based in Brighton & Hove, I document weddings across Sussex, London and beyond with a calm, unobtrusive approach that lets everything unfold naturally.

Hi, I’m Nick Baskerville

I photograph weddings for alternative and LGBTQ+ couples who care more about energy, emotion, and honesty than tradition — and want a photographer who fits into their day without turning it into a production.

Wedding photography without awkward posing or pressure

Most couples tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera — and that’s completely normal.

My approach is simple: I don’t stage your wedding or turn it into a photoshoot. I guide when needed, step back when it matters, and document the real energy of your day as it unfolds naturally.

“We felt completely at ease almost immediately — nothing ever felt staged or awkward.”
— Jade & Will

How it works

Let’s start a conversation

Tell me about your wedding, your venue, and what matters most to you. We’ll have a relaxed conversation to see if we’re the right fit.

2. Getting comfortable before the wedding

Every full-day wedding includes an engagement session so we can meet properly and take away any camera nerves before the big day.

3. Your wedding, as it actually unfolds

I capture your wedding as it unfolds — the energy, emotion, chaos, and calm — without interrupting the flow of the day or forcing moments..

4. Gallery and Album delivery

Your fully edited wedding gallery is delivered within 6 weeks, with optional fine art albums designed to last a lifetime.

Choosing a wedding photographer is personal — so here’s a short video so you can get a feel for how I work and what I’m like on a wedding day.

Most couples say I feel more like a calm presence in the room than a supplier.

What couples say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“ Thank you Nick!
Having Nick as our photographer was more like having a guest who happened to be an exceptionally talented photographer that decided to bring their camera(with some chauffeur duties added in too)! Nick captured organic photos that really caught the essence of our day, while also recording all the standard photos you'd want and expect from a wedding.
Nicks effortless ability to build genuine connections and relaxed nature with the camera made us and all our guest feel at home, ensuring no one felt camera shy!
We were genuinely sad when Nick left, as he really felt like a guest we wanted to party the night away with.
Now all that is left to do is find another reason to have a party and invite Nick again! ”

Mary & John Dyer,

“Could not rate Nick highly enough. It poured down all day and he couldn't do enough to get the best possible photographs. Even when our dog turned up as a surprise guest at the wedding he went out of his way to include her in the pictures. They were ready very quickly and look absolutely perfect!”
