Based in the North East of England, Nigel Playle is a wedding photographer who specializes in capturing your big day with a natural, creative touch. He focuses on genuine moments and real emotions, telling the story of your wedding as it happens. His relaxed, unobtrusive style helps you and your guests feel comfortable, so the photos reflect the true spirit of your celebration.
With over 14 years of experience and more than 500 weddings photographed, Nigel brings expert knowledge and a warm approach to your day. Couples often say he feels more like a friend than a photographer, which helps him capture authentic smiles and laughter. His friendly nature ensures your photos will be full of the joy and connection you’ll treasure forever.
Nigel’s photography combines timeless, natural images with vibrant colours and emotive black-and-white shots. He pays attention to every detail—from the venue to candid moments—that make your wedding unique.
Nigel understands that your wedding is about celebrating with the people you love. To make the photography experience smooth and enjoyable, he limits the number of bookings each year, giving every couple his full attention. While he offers guidance for group and couple shots, these sessions are kept brief and fun—so you can spend more time with your guests.
He has extensive experience working at top venues across the North East and Northumberland, and he’s also available for destination weddings.
A Northumberland winter wedding during the 'Beast from the East' snow storm in 2018. Despite the snow drifts, closed roads, and being snowed in for 2 days, the wedding went ahead and I still managed to capture some fab images!!!
Natural, Creative, Fun, Relaxed and Unobtrusive

Some wellington boots, a can do attitude and faith in your photographer to capture some amazing rain photographs. My advice is to embrace any weather conditions and enjoy your day regardless.
