Thanks for stopping by! I'm Nick Rose, a London wedding photographer and UK pre wedding photographer with experience in Indian, Asian, Hindu, and Sikh weddings as well as destination weddings. I offer pre wedding photoshoots and destination wedding photography worldwide. As a storytelling photographer, I take a relaxed and natural approach to my work and enjoy capturing moments that tell your story.

I have photographed London weddings, International and destination weddings and pre weddings all around the world in places as far away as India, Iceland, Dubai, St Lucia, Seychelles, Singapore, California, Canada, Venice, Portugal, Hong Kong, Florida, Spain, Greece and many others. I have also told wedding stories at many of London’s best wedding venues including The Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Tower Bridge, Kensington Roof Gardens, The Savoy Hotel, The Langham London and the Park Lane Dorchester. 

I love photographing different types of London weddings and telling the story of the big day in whichever form it takes. I shoot lots of Indian weddings including Hindu and Sikh wedding ceremonies plus other Asian weddings and am very experienced in photographing both Sikh and Hindu weddings and all of the events that surround Indian weddings such as Mehndi ceremonies, Sangeet, Garba, Puja Ceremonies and Chunni engagement events. Get in touch to find out more about me as an Indian and Asian wedding photographer and see if I am available for your wedding dates.

  • Testimonial: Richard & Claudette

    "Having decided on the beautiful Island of St Lucia to get Married on, the second most important decision to make was who was going to capture the events of the day. Having seen a few photographers and websites it was clear to us that there was a distinction between an individual who takes photo’s and an individual who tells a story. Nick Rose tells a story through images with a passion and dedication and commitment that is very rare to find, but myself and Claudette were so pleased that Nick was able to be part of our journey.

    When you first meet Nick it’s clear he has an overwhelming enthusiasm for his craft which makes you feel confident and comfortable that you’ve made the right choice. Throughout the relationship Nick kept us informed and as he has a wealth of experience it was like having a second wedding planner on board, in fact in all honesty Nick gave us more information for the day than our actual wedding planner!!!

    Nick Rose is a phenomenal photographer and a consummate professional, dedicated to his craft and will tell your story the way it was meant to be told. We’ve been blessed to have found Nick and we wish him all the success in the world. It was a pleasure to have him to share our journey."

  • Testimonial: Sara and Rob

    I was bridesmaid for one of my best friends and Nick Rose was their photographer. I was engaged myself at the time, a year off from getting married abroad in Dubrovnik, Croatia and we had a photographer booked through our own wedding planner. I remembered Nick from the day, but when my friends got their wedding photos back and I was looking through them I couldn’t help but think we needed Nick to do our own wedding. It wasn’t long before we cancelled our original one, lost our deposit and booked Nick. Well it turned out to be the best decision we could have made.

    Nick was so enthusiastic about being part of our wedding from day one. He was so easy to work with, just a lovely guy all round. I sent a few examples of pictures I liked ahead of the wedding, and he achieved everything I had hoped for and more. We got married in Dubrovnik with the most incredible setting, and Nick captured it perfectly. He captured the entire day exactly as it was, the moments you don't always see as the bride, the laughter, the love, the surroundings. I often find photo’s don’t do reality justice, but his really do!

    For anyone considering using Nick for their wedding or anything else, I couldn’t recommend him more. Memories are the most important thing post event, but photos are a close second, we now have these to look, reminisce and smile at for the rest of our lives. Thanks Nick, you really did tell our story perfectly

  • Testimonial: John and Chelsea

    Every couple that takes the risk of embarking on a destination wedding hopes that amid the uncertainty of the unfamiliar, the magic of the day can be effortlessly and timelessly captured. Nick was undoubtedly the perfect destination wedding photographer who made this come to life for us during our London wedding. I truly can’t imagine anyone else capturing the story of our wedding day better than Nick. From start to finish, I can only describe our experience with Nick as incredible.

    We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Nick not only for our engagement photos in London, but again on our big day. Not only is his aesthetic beautiful, but he has an eye for capturing the stunning features of the locations within the photos. What truly warmed our hearts was Nick's ability to capture the unwritten moments that would have otherwise went unnoticed. Whether it was a joyous hug between new in-laws, a groomsman's fist pump or my emotional reaction to entering our reception venue, Nick captured the feeling and the experience in a vibrant, dynamic way that only an experienced destination wedding photographer of his calibre can. He was seamlessly adaptable in adjusting to the twists of the day, including rain and time delays, as London and weddings can have.

    We are so happy that we trusted Nick with our special day. Our memories of our day will only be outlasted by our breathtaking photos.

    I wish I could get married again just to have the chance to get to work with Nick again and see his incredible artistry come to life!

  • Testimonial: Thushara and Shakil

    We spent a lot of time researching and meeting with different photographers, but once we met Nick it did not take us long to decide that we wanted him to capture our wedding. Not only did he have an array of stunning photos to show us, but more importantly we felt he really understood what we wanted and we immediately trusted him to deliver.

    On our wedding day we were not disappointed as Nick not only delivered stunning photos of our wedding, but also was such a pleasure to work with that even our guests commented on how nice he had been. Throughout the process Nick has been such a delight and given how camera shy we tend to be we can not believe how beautiful the photos Nick captured were. He really made us feel at ease and was very responsive at all stages. Finally Nick was kind enough to send us a highlights slideshow that had been beautifully edited for us to watch on our honeymoon only a few days later.

    I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone who wants to ensure their special day is beautifully captured by someone who genuinely seems to care and is talented enough to deliver!

  • Testimonial: Sonya & Jibraun

    We booked Nick for a pre-wedding photo shoot in central London, an event the evening before our wedding at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel and for our wedding ceremony and reception at the Ritz London.

    London was a destination wedding for us, so we were really at the mercy of the internet and others' reviews when planning the event. We choose Nick because of the excellent work seen on his website and his universally high online reviews. Despite the high bar set by his online portfolio and client reviews, Nick manged to far exceed our already high expectations.

    The photos we received are absolutely stunning. Nick managed to be in the right place at the right time so very consistently (one example, a photo of both myself hugging my mother and my husband hugging his mother immediately after the ceremony which is perfectly timed to be in the same shot).

    A few days after the wedding weekend Nick sent us a sample of photos in slideshow form which was absolutely stunning. His choice of photos and music represented the weekend so beautifully that many relatives were moved to tears and those unable to attend felt almost like they had been there because of the subtle storytelling present in each image. We were very impressed and it was a lovely treat to receive while on our honeymoon.

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience and now have photos of the day that we can cherish always. So very grateful we were able to benefit from Nick's knowledge and talent!

  • Testimonial: Sasha and James

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was asking Nick to capture our day. From our first conversation Nick was professional, passionate and informative, he is always on hand to answer any queries and give you a great variety of options to choose from while being able to guide you in the right direction to help you when making photography decisions.

    Leading up to the wedding he always made sure communication ran smoothly and on the day was simply a joy to be around. From the moment you meet Nick he is so friendly and calming, making you feel comfortable and at ease even through the most nerve wracking and stressful moments.

    We have just received our wedding photos this week and are absolutely thrilled, the images are stunning and Nick really knows how to capture the perfect shot, he is so talented and we will treasure these photos for a lifetime.

    Thank you so much Nick for helping capture these beautiful memories. Sasha & James x
