Wedding Albums

I totally understand some couples want an album and some don’t, so wedding albums are an added extra, if couples require them.

There is no time limit or obligation to get an album from me, however I do offer a wide selection of beautiful ones, with all the design work done by myself.

I believe getting the album right is vital, so this flexibility allows you to not only save up for the one you love but also gives you the time to enjoy looking through your own images and choose the ones you want for the album in your own time. The album is something you are going to keep forever.

from £300.00 upwards

Weddings - evening celebration

This is a lovely way to end a set of wedding photos, but there is no obligation to book me to stay for the extra time.

Evening photography involves me staying from the start of the wedding banquet, up until the evening celebrations/dancing commences. This involves me photographing the:

all speeches
the arrival of the evening guests
the wedding couples first dance
and many more candid images!

£200.00

Bride and bridesmaids preparations

This is a lovely way to begin to capture images of your special day.

This involves me visiting the bride's house, for up to an hour, to capture photographs of her, and her bridesmaids/family, during the bridal preparations. Photo opportunities can include:

the bride & bridesmaids in pyjamas, drinking champagne
the preparation of the wedding dress, veil & shoes
the arrival of the wedding bouquet and button-holes
and anything else which is going on!

£50.00

Portrait Photography Prices

This service involves me visiting your home, you coming to my studio or meeting at an agreed on-site location to spend up to an hour taking as many individual or group shots as you would like.

the shoot is very natural, relaxed and good fun!
baby shoots are done in my home studio, which is cosy and relaxed

£75.00

New Born Baby Shoots

A new born baby is such a precious little thing, and I love it when I have the privilege of capturing this special time. The first few days of birth are magical times, but unfortunately they go so fast! My new born shoots enable these precious times to be captured forever.

New born shoots are done in my home studio and need to be done while baby is 10 days old or less. This is a very relaxed shoot, and can take a couple of hours or more, depending on how the baby is. We stop for as many milk breaks as are required, and if baby needs settling, we take as much time as is needed until the little one is happy to carry on. New born shoots need to be done within first 10 days so the crunched up poses are still possible. I am also happy to include parents and siblings in a new born shoot. Due to the extra time involved in a new born shoot (there is no time limit as we are totally guided by the baby) the cost is £100.00 and includes the same package as a usual portrait shoot.

£100.00

Commercial Photography Prices

The costs for commercial photography begin from as little as £60.00 per hour, with the first hour charged at £75.

all images are provided as digital files, fully edited
two copies of each image are supplied – high resolution for traditional printing and low resolution for website and social media
additional travel costs, outside of York, may apply

£250.00 half day - £450.00 full day

Please feel free to contact me for further information and more examples of my wedding, portrait and commercial photography services. I would love to have a no obligation chat with you about your special day or next project!

WHAT MY CUSTOMERS SAY

Katie and Gemma
Hazelwood Castle, Leeds

Nikki stood out from the other photographers we met from the point of initial contact. She was fantastic to work with and made us both feel comfortable during the planning stage and on the day. Nikki was able to tailor make a package for us that was kind to our budget but gave us exactly what we needed. We are delighted with our photographs of our day and are amazed that she was able to take so many.

From the moment I went with Nikki she made sure she knew exactly what I wanted, nothing was too much trouble. Nikki listened to all my ideas and was able to guide me in the right direction in terms of what would and wouldn't work both with the wedding day and the wedding album. On the 'big day' Nikki was patient, unobtrusive and I can honestly say made the whole photographic experience fun. She has been an absolute star with the patience of a saint. I plan to use the company again for other upcoming events.

Christina and Simon

Aldwark Manor, Aldwark, York

Nikki was fantastic! She worked with us from the very first informal meeting to discuss our budget and what we wanted to achieve. She gave us guidance and ideas about the best photographic places in our wedding venue and what options we had. Nikki was not only very professional but friendly too and had the perfect tone for gathering everyone together for the photographs so there was no waiting around. I have since recommended Nikki to a few brides to be with no hesitation.

Nikki was brilliant on our wedding day: Professional, but personal at the same time. She made everyone feel so comfortable and, consequently, captured some really beautiful moments. As a "stressed out" bride, I really cannot compliment Nikki enough... in both the run up to our wedding, and afterwards, her communication was excellent - so proactive. She was incredibly organised and efficient. It really made this part of organising the wedding effortless. We would highly recommend her.

I am so glad Nikki did our wedding photography, she went way beyond our expectations of our photograph's! We had a wonderful happy day with our family and friends, and she captured the atmosphere perfectly. She more than delivered the outline I had given her, and we have beautiful artistic memento's of our very special day. I love how she seized the moments of different parts of our day, both the formal and informal. We will treasure these photographs, and I could not recommend her highly enough! The trouble will be now just deciding what to leave out of the album!

The wonderful Nikki Bowling captured our day from bridal prep to the first dance (and beyond). We got the set pieces we requested and a plethora of candid, natural shots which capture our day perfectly. Nikki was very familiar with our venue and knew all the good nooks and crannies to get really wonderful pictures. A number of our guests commented on how great she was on the day. Getting her job done without imposing on the day and special time with family and friends. I would recommend her to anyone.
