Nicola Jay Photos

‘YOU WON'T REGRET BOOKING HER’ ‘Where do I start? We knew we needed Nicola to capture our day as soon as we stumbled upon her Instagram page. Her work is absolutely phenomenal. Nicola was the ultimate professional from start to finish. She took time to get to know us as a couple prior to our wedding and made sure we were completely happy with our plans before the big day. When she arrived on the morning of our wedding, she'd already scoped out the best places for portraits etc and made sure there were contingency plans if needed. Nicola kept us calm, directed us when we didn't know what to do in the shots and was so in tune with what we wanted. As we've sat down to view our gallery, we couldn't help saying 'how did she get that shot?' 'Can you remember her being behind us then?' - she's so subtle and managed to get the most beautiful candids of us and our family. We can't thank her enough for creating such a beautiful gallery for us to look back over, you won't regret booking her.’ See more: https://www.nicolajayphotos.com/testimonials

‘WE ARE OBSESSED WITH ALL THE PHOTOS! THEY CAPTURE THE DAY SO PERFECTLY!’ ‘We cannot recommend Nicola enough! We had her from morning to after our first dance. We met via zoom pre-wedding to iron out the details, she shared her top tips, making us feel prepared for the day and in safe hands! Nicola was a perfect addition to the day along with the second shooter she chose. Putting us (and our guests) at ease and bought the best energy! She was a fountain of knowledge throughout the day. Nicola had great knowledge of the venue and knew lots of great locations for portrait shots. She made us giggle throughout and feel comfortable in front of the camera. We appreciated how she smashed out the formal big family shots which were super special for our families and those who couldn’t travel. So we could focus on more candid/couple shots. We are obsessed with all the photos! They capture the day so perfectly!’

‘NICOLA WAS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM FROM THE MOMENT WE BOOKED’ ‘Nicola was an absolute dream from the moment we booked our wedding photography with her. In the run up to our wedding she was always on hand if we ever needed to ask any questions or get any advice. We booked a pre-wedding shoot, and considering we are both incredibly awkward and have always hated having our photos taken, we had the best time (and actually had fun!) with Nicola who instantly put us both at ease. We left excited to have her as part of our big day! On our wedding day, Nicola and her second shooter Amelia could not have done more for us, always there to re-assure us and help calm the nerves as well as making sure the whole day was captured. It was more like having another friend at our wedding. We could not have been happier with the gallery we received, Nicola is part photographer part artist! Would not hesitate to recommend her to everyone!’

‘NICOLA IS AN INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER AND PERSON; SHE HAS A WONDERFUL, CALMING, CREATIVE ENERGY AND IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO BE AROUND’ ‘Nicola was the perfect addition to our wedding. The process was so smooth, easy and supportive. As soon as I spoke to her, I knew she was the perfect person to capture our day. Nicola is an incredible photographer and person; she has a wonderful, calming, creative energy and is an absolute joy to be around. We had a large wedding with lots of friends and families we wanted to capture. Nicola took all of this in her stride and made sure we got everything we wanted and so much more. Nicola also arranged a second photographer, Jonathan Stockton, and together they captured a beautiful library of the day, including our lovely dog! My partner and I are not the most comfortable on camera but she quickly put us at ease and captured pictures we will truly treasure for the rest of our lives. We couldn't recommend Nicola enough. Our wedding photography is natural, beautiful and perfectly reflects our vision for the day.’

‘NICOLA TRULY GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR HER CLIENTS, AND WHILE SHE IS INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL AND TALENTED, HER KIND HEART SHINES THROUGH THE MOST’ ‘Nicola instantly put my partner and I at ease with her supportive and kind nature. From discussing our wedding vision and arrangements to signing the contract, the meetings leading up to the day, and the wedding itself, everything went incredibly smoothly. Nicola responded quickly to any and all questions we had, made us laugh during our nervous first meetings, and immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in her knowledge and creative talent to capture our day exactly how we envisioned it. Nicola was incredibly well prepared and arranged a second photographer to help capture both my partner’s and my own individual special moments. They arrived early and scouted our venue beforehand to fully make the most of the scenery. We truly can’t praise Nicola enough for her kindness and support, both during the organisation and on the wedding day itself. Not only did she keep us calm and laughing during stressful moments, she also helped manage timelines and family members, and even helped me into my wedding dress! Everyone who spoke to Nicola could immediately tell how kind and caring she is, and we felt so proud and lucky to have her as our photographer. I had some insecurities about being photographed, but I have never felt more beautiful in a photograph than in the ones Nicola took. She even stayed later than arranged to make sure she captured the perfect shots for us. Nicola truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and while she is incredibly professional and talented, her kind heart shines through the most. We hope to work with Nicola again in the future to capture more of our special moments. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you want to feel confident, comfortable, and receive stunning photos, Nicola is your photographer. More than that, if you want to feel safe, supported, and even more joy on your special day, Nicola is the friend you want by your side.’

‘ON OUR WEDDING DAY NICOLA WAS SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE AROUND. SHE READ THE EMOTIONS OF THE DAY AND WAS SO PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY IT MADE THE DAY RUN SO MUCH EASIER’ ‘My husband and I booked Nicola for our wedding and got a couple's shoot done a few months before the wedding. We're so glad we did both as neither of us are comfortable being the centre of attention or having our photo taken. The couple shoot allowed us to get to know Nicola and get some beautiful photos at the same time. We'd highly recommend doing both as it made our wedding day that bit less stressful by having a friend there instead of a stranger. It also meant Nicola knew who we were as a couple and was able to capture that perfectly on camera. On our wedding day Nicola was so wonderful to have around. She read the emotions of the day and was so professional and friendly it made the day run so much easier. The photos we've received are the best possible versions we could have asked for. They capture who we are, and what our whole day was about. Nicola is an artist, and her work reflects that. Our photos are a work of art and they'll be treasured by us and hung on every wall in our house. We can't recommend Nicola highly enough. If you're wanting unique, beautiful photos that make you want to show them off to everyone, then Nicola is who you should go to.’

SHE DIDN’T JUST DELIVER THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS BUT ON THE DAY SHE WAS JUST SO LOVELY, SO HELPFUL, AND AN ABSOLUTE JOY!’ ‘Nicola is absolutely incredible, we are so glad that we chose her to capture our special day. She didn’t just deliver the most beautiful photos but on the day she was just so lovely, so helpful, and an absolute joy! The experience and the photos are exactly what we had hoped for. Would absolutely recommend booking Nicola!’

‘SHE NEVER PUSHED US TO DO ANYTHING THAT DIDN’T FEEL LIKE US AND STILL MANAGED TO GET THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, JOY-FILLED PHOTOS’ ‘Nicola captured our day so perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Every time we look through them, we’re taken straight back to all those special moments. Neither of us are particularly confident in front of the camera, but Nicola’s gentle direction made it feel really natural, and she completely got what we were after which was relaxed, candid shots that really tell the story of the day. She never pushed us to do anything that didn’t feel like us and still managed to get the most beautiful, joy-filled photos. We were blown away by how quickly we got our gallery back and the sneak peeks on social were such a lovely touch so soon after the day. In the lead up to the day, Nicola always responded to any messages super quick and we never felt like we were asking too many questions! Couldn’t recommend Nicola enough! Super professional, calming and just brilliant at what she does. Thank you so much for giving us the most gorgeous memories to look back on forever.’

‘NICOLA MADE OUR DAY SO SPECIAL, SO BESPOKE TO OUR NEEDS THAT I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY EXISTS. EVERY INCH OF OUR DAY WAS ENHANCED BY HER BEING THERE’ ‘How to begin, Nicola made our day so special, so bespoke to our needs that I can’t believe she actually exists. Every inch of our day was enhanced by her being there. From the second we booked her (based on her incredible portfolio that frankly should hang in the Louvre) we felt so taken care of and set up for success. It was a true collaborative experience. She went to great lengths to make sure everything was tailored to our day and I didn’t have to worry at all. On the day she became a part of our family, capturing our most intimate moments with grace and style. Everyone fell in love with her. She really went above and beyond. Her commitment to ‘get the shot’ is SO appreciated-she’s the ultimate girls girl-she’s gonna get you the shot no matter what! The best piece of wedding advice I recieved was make sure your pictures feel like art you would want to hang in your house. What Nicola does isn’t just take pictures of weddings. It’s ART. She is an artist through and through. The pictures are everything I ever dreamed of and I will be staring at them for years to come-but now, not only will I think of the best day of my life-I’ll also think of the awesome friend we made who truly made us feel so safe and supported.’

I DIDN’T THINK I COULD LOVE MY WEDDING DAY MORE, UNTIL I SAW IT THROUGH NICOLAS LENS’ ‘I didn’t think I could love my wedding day more, until I saw it through Nicolas lens. Not only are our pictures perfect but the presence Nicola brings to your day is like having a best friend there taking your pictures. Not one detail was missed, moments were captured that I didn’t know happened and yet they feel like you’re there. To look nice in a picture is one thing, to look at a photo and be able to say “that’s exactly how we are as a couple” is another level. We can not thank you enough for just being you.’

‘IF YOU NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER, NICOLA WILL COMPLETE YOUR WHOLE EXPERIENCE’ ‘We first met Nicola when we had our pre wedding photoshoot. To say our first encounter was anything but perfect would be an understatement. Nicola suggested a wonderful location and she brought the best vibes to such an amazing evening. We then had the pleasure of having Nicola shoot both our ceremony and reception which we held over two separate days. She made us feel completely at ease and made the whole experience so much fun! We cannot recommend her highly enough as Nicola is absolutely fantastic. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning and Nicola was incredible from start to finish - if you need a photographer, Nicola will complete your whole experience. Only slightly gutted we don’t get to spend every Saturday with Nicola as she is genuinely such a wholesome person. We really have made a friend for life - here’s to black Sambucas on the beach.’

‘NOT ONLY IS SHE SUPER TALENTED BUT SHE IS ONE OF THE LOVELIEST PEOPLE WE HAVE EVER MET, TRULY A BEAUTIFUL SOUL INSIDE AND OUT’ We booked Nicola for our wedding at Runa Farm and we are so overjoyed with the choice we made. Nicola is an amazing photographer who captured every moment we could have wished for on our big day. Our photos are absolutely amazing, we are completely in love! She captured all the special moments and memories from our big day, we couldn't have asked for more. Not only is she super talented but she is one of the loveliest people we have ever met, truly a beautiful soul inside and out Thank you so much for being part of our special day.’

‘SHE MADE NOT ONLY US, BUT OUR GUESTS FEEL AT EASE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WE HAD SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM GUESTS - THEY ALL LOVED HER!’ We came across Nicola on Instagram when we were looking at photographers for our wedding and loved her style. After one zoom call we clicked straight away and knew we had made the right choice. Nicola was such a lush addition to our day. She made not only us, but our guests feel at ease in front of the camera. We had so much positive feedback from guests - they all loved her! She is not only extremely talented at her profession but the loveliest person inside & out - her energy is amazing. We cannot recommend Nicola enough to photograph your special day. She really captures the emotions & our gallery blew us away - we find more & more pictures we love every time we look at it.

‘WE’LL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE NICOLA AS PART OF OUR DAY. SHE’S NOT ONLY OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER – SHE’S A VISIONARY, WHO IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND PASSIONATE; SHE’S EMPATHETIC, UNDERSTANDING AND GREAT AT PUTTING PEOPLE AT EASE; SHE’S A BUNDLE OF SUNSHINE AND JOY WHO JUST RADIATES POSITIVITY’ ‘I’m not sure I can explain how wonderful and magical Nicola is in words but I’m going to give it a go. I stumbled upon Nicola on Instagram and instantly knew it was fate. The style was exactly what we were looking for and after talking to her, we just knew she was our kind of person - full of warmth and sparkle, with amazing energy and the best sense of humour. She just HAD to be part of our day and choosing her to be our photographer was the easiest decision we made when wedding planning. We’ll forever be grateful that we were lucky enough to have Nicola as part of our day. She’s not only our wedding photographer – she’s a visionary, who is incredibly talented and passionate; she’s empathetic, understanding and great at putting people at ease; she’s a bundle of sunshine and joy who just radiates positivity; she’s fun to be around and loves a giggle; she’s not scared to fit into tiny spaces to capture beautiful shots; she’s happy to go above and beyond without even thinking about it; and she’s now a friend who we can’t imagine not having in our lives. Our wedding day is full of so many stunning memories, which have been captured brilliantly, and the one thing that really stands out is how she made everyone feel around her. Our guests absolutely loved her. The gallery we have received from Nicola is just absolute perfection and it left us speechless – she listened to us and knew exactly what we wanted (without us even knowing!). If you’re thinking of booking The Wild Love Club for any kind of shoot, do it! If you’ve booked The Wild Love Club as your wedding photographer and you’re considering doing a couples shoot beforehand, do it! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Nicola, you’re a total dream and we’d do anything to have you capture the best day of our lives again.’

‘ON OUR WEDDING DAY, NICOLA WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. SHE CAPTURED ALL OF OUR BIG MOMENTS AND EVEN THE LITTLE MOMENTS THAT WERE SPECIAL TO US’ ‘We hired Nicola to photograph our wedding in April and couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. Right from the enquiry process, Nicola was so responsive and personable; She was really keen to get to know us as a couple and learn our ‘love story’ as she called it. On our wedding day, Nicola was simply amazing. She captured all of our big moments and even the little moments that were special to us, all while making it fun and enjoyable rather than an awkward photo shoot. When we received our gallery, it’s suffice to say we were absolutely thrilled with everything Nicola had captured. From the locations chosen, poses and her attention to detail made each photo take us back to our wedding and really captured the emotion and love from the day. Nicola photographing our wedding was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. She is so friendly, warm and energetic– It was like having another friend on our guest list who then gave us the best gift of memories to cherish. We highly recommend her and cannot thank her enough.’

‘EVERYTHING WAS MADE EASY, COMMUNICATION, ORGANISATION, THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DAY. NICOLA IS AN AMAZING PERSON, THE ENERGY SHE BROUGHT TO THE DAY WAS INFECTIOUS, SHE SUPPORTED ME (THE BRIDE) AS IF SHE WERE A BRIDESMAID AND THE PHOTOS WE HAVE ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING’ ‘If we could chose 10 stars we would! We could not recommend Nicola enough. Everything was made easy, communication, organisation, the understanding of the day. Nicola is an amazing person, the energy she brought to the day was infectious, she supported me (the bride) as if she were a bridesmaid and the photos we have are absolutely stunning, we couldn't of asked for more. We had the full package and are so happy with everything. We would definitely recommend the pre wedding photo shoot as it gives you the chance to understand one another, practice having your photo taken professionally and you get beautiful photos as well. We'd also recommend having a second photographer. It means that we have pictures we would never have had if there was just one. Nicola brought Chris Parkinson for the day and so happy she did, Chris fitted in well and took some beautiful, memorable photos. We are extremely grateful to The Wild Love Club, thank you for being part of our special day. We are looking forward to working with you in the future. Thank you so much for everything!!’
