My 3 steps to book me
Could I have 2 minutes of your time?
How do you contact your wedding supplier / Photographer?
My current site and new web site (coming soon) has a 1,2,3 method. It makes a lot of sense and it’s a lot easier for you and for me to process everything.
It does away with forms. There is no need for them. Forms means you have to wait for a supplier to get back to you and to send you a brochure. All my pricing is online so there is just no need.
I like to do things a little bit differently…
1. Love their work! / My work! Be head over heels about a photographers or suppliers work!
If you’re not then you’re probably only contacting them to ask their price. Price is irrelevant unless you love what they do and for me it’s irrelevant even more so as all my pricing and packages are online. No need to email, everythings on my web site.
2. Love the packages and pricing
I’m up front about all my pricing. The quality of service is very high and quality of photography, I give you a ton of time and value, I am unique with the way I shoot and edit and have been doing this for over 15 years.
95% of my packages include unlimited coverage on the wedding day, multiday coverage (Indian weddings), Luxury 35x25cm album and a unique engagement shoot.
I also have a team of some of the best videographers in the UK that you can book with photography (£200 off if you book both)
3. Book in a call
If you love the work and packages we need to meet and develop a great relationship!
If all of that sounds great you can contact me on www.nickrutterphotography.co.uk and you can always call me anytime (don’t be shy), text me or What’s app me for my availability and an initial chat.
BUT… please visit my web site first! (New site out soon!). Remember, love the work, love the packages then let’s meet!

BEST OF 2023
Every year I produce a best of video. It’s a look back at where I have been, new things I’ve learnt, new people I’ve met, love for my couples and their guests and where to go next with my work and career.
It’s a celebration of love and it’s a privilege to be part of that.
My work is often considered ‘different’ compared to more classic/traditional/modern photographers work, I like to think it’s unique as well as portraying my love for naturally capturing people and being as creative with the environments I am given as possible.
So I give couples unique photography at every location and venue I visit and not the same old thing each time. You know what I mean?
The absolute awesome thing about my clients - Brides and Grooms - is that along with my unique way of shooting and editing in a vibrant style, my couples are also unique and this ‘Best of 2023’ is a celebration not only of love, but diversity and my clients uniqueness.
Here’s to 2024! - For more uniqueness, for more multicultural weddings, fusion weddings, multi faith couples, more diverse skin tones , alternative couples, alternative venues and multiple characters to meet and to connect with.
Here’s to an even higher standard of work and service for my 2024 clients. Always learning, always wanting to give more and work harder for my couples.

Book in an appointment so I can meet you both, get to know you and hear all about your plans for your 2024 or 2025 wedding in the UK or abroad.

Ben and Lucy had a Covid wedding back in 2020 so their 2022 wedding was going to be a big party and include getting ready coverage this time and a blessing back at the same Church they married in (St Ebbes Church, Oxford).
They the had their reception at The Manor House Hotel in Gloucestershire.

Thank you so much to all my lovely couples for booking me. For putting faith in me. Trusting me, sharing your special day with me and allowing me to be creative.
Every year I look through my work and can’t believe how lucky I am with the people I meet - how lovely they are and the places I get to go up and down the UK.
Not every photographer will tick everyone’s boxes, but I’m glad I ticked the ones I got to work with. I truly believe every single couple I met was meant to be.
This year my work has been the most vibrant and the most multi-cultural and diverse which has been new experiences for me, so much fun and a heck of a lot of work, especially Indian weddings which I love.
I love the different cultures, meanings to ceremonies and the warmth families give me - strangers effectively, showing love and kindness to me and who also trust me to capture not only the couple, but them.
This year has also been some of the most semi-posed photos I’ve ever done. Whether it was purposefully setting up a bride or capturing a bride, groom or guests naturally, but made to look posed. It’s not normally my thing but brides particularly seemed to naturally want to and warmed to it for whatever reason so I kept on shooting and worked with it, creating some of my favourite stand out shots of the year and my 14 year career.
This year I won for the second time in a row “Best customer focussed wedding photographer’ which I’m honoured with abs completely reflects the time and effort I give my couples and always try to raise the level of service and quality. I hope to keep capturing multiple styled weddings, ethnicities, cultures, diverse and alternative weddings in 2023.
Have a really good look through my work on Instagram and my web site and do get in touch if you love what I specifically and uniquely do.
Mike and Tara love their gin and thought it would not only be an original idea but one that totally falls into what I love and advise my couples to do when it comes to their engagement shoot, and that's to think outside of the box when thinking of themes or locations.
They went for a gin tasting course in Andover, Hampshire to make their own gin and learn more about how @gorillaspirits make their gin as well as use my creativity around the site.
We had such a great time, it was so them and so different which is what I love about what can be achieved with engagement shoots. We can literally go anywhere!

Last year I had so much fun with Pete and Cesca, spending time with them, getting to know them and seeing where they used to live in Greenwich, London which they chose as their engagement shoot location.
Little did I know how diverse and colourful the area had become and suited me and my style so well, walking round a corner to a wall of colour. Something you just don't get at a wedding venue.
We had a great walk around the area, utilising walls of colour, rainbow bridges and some gorgeous sunlight towards the end.
You can go ANYWHERE.... where would you go for your engagement shoot with me?

Pete and Cesca had their multi-cultural March Wedding at Sopley Mill on the border of Hampshire and Dorset.
Petes Nigerian family all came to the wedding who looked amazing and Cescas Red hair and cool vibe worked sooo well for her in the photos.

Emily was a bridesmaid at Hannah and Matts wedding and so wanted to book me for her and Adams big day.
Adam and Emily met in the Summer of 2019 and instantly found that they shared a love for outdoor adventures, travelling and adrenaline sports. Since then, they have spent thousands of hours walking their dogs Alfie and Charlie, chasing sunsets and searching for the best pubs in Dorset.
They think (... I know crazy!) that they don't photograph well, but as you can see, true naturals and we had a great time driving down to Lyme Regis and being creative with the gorgeous sunlight we had for their Engagement Shoot with me before their big day in a few weeks time.

Matt and Hannahs wedding was so stunning at the beautiful St Giles House near Verwood in Dorset.
Such a stunning manor house with amazing accommodation but also very diverse and quirky, with a tunnel downstairs for the reception and a massive barrel as the DJ booth.
I loved that it was all so local with Hannahs's parents just up the road from the venue and church. Such a beautiful moment to see all the guests walking together from the church to the venue.

SUCH AN AMAZING SPACE FOR EVENTS!
I loved capturing Lara and her guests for her 30th at a very secluded but brilliant event space used for all sorts of events and weddings tucked away in Brixton, London. Old train tunnels and beautifully decorated courtyard, bar, lounge and dancefloor area further inside.
We had some great light and lots of laughs and hugs to celebrate Laras 30th @lararh0des

A few months ago I was asked to photograph a ‘sustainable, natural and bohindian’ styled shoot at
@haynehouseweddingvenuekent in Kent by Wedding Planning Service ‘ Now to vow’
@now_to_vow.
My style is very much a natural and reportage approach with direction when necessary so it was a perfect fit with MUA (and part-time model in this case), Mandy!
The Theme and Approach:
‘Couples are becoming increasingly conscious about waste and sustainable practices within the wedding industry, however, they’re often struggling to find suppliers who understand their vision and values. Now to Vows Bohindian shoot was conceptualised with the modern Indian and interfaith couple in mind, who are every bit as stylish as they are conscious. We wanted to show that it is possible to have an Indian wedding set up that is beautiful and sustainable!’
Everyone worked so hard and created a beautiful/unique theme to showcase what can be achieved.
I love Indian weddings, the culture, warmth, and the meaning of so many celebrations. It was so good to work with new people at a stunning venue in Kent.
I have to speak again about Mandy and how effortless it was for her to model for the shoot. She is a total natural with not much experience. She looked stunning and also if you didn’t know…
one of the UK’s Best Indian MUAs in the industry!
Check her out and all the other suppliers!
