Event & Corporate Photography in Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire
Natural moments. Professional coverage. Photographs that tell the story of your event.
From business gatherings and awards evenings to milestone birthdays and private celebrations, I capture the people, atmosphere and details that make your event worth remembering.
Based in South Normanton, I cover Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands.
Enjoy Your Event. I’ll Capture the Story.
When you’ve put time and effort into organising an event, you want photographs that capture more than who attended.
You want the atmosphere, the reactions, the little details and the moments you were too busy to see.
Hi, I’m Ian. My approach is friendly, observant and unobtrusive, capturing events as they unfold while making time for the group photographs, presentations and important people you want included.
Before your event, we’ll talk through your plans and priorities so I understand what matters most to you.

Event Photography FAQs
Can you photograph both candid moments and organised groups?
Yes. My approach combines natural event coverage with planned photographs where needed. Let me know which groups, guests or presentations are particularly important so we can allow time for them.
How much coverage should I book?
That depends on your running order and the moments you want photographed. Send me your approximate schedule and I can help you decide which part of the event to cover.
Can we give you a list of photographs we need?
Absolutely. A short list of essential people, details and moments helps me understand your priorities. For business events, please also include any specific branding or publicity requirements.
Can we use the photographs on our website and social media?
Please tell me how you intend to use the images when you enquire. Your quote will set out the agreed image usage, including any business website, social media, publicity or advertising requirements.
When will we receive our photographs?
Your delivery timeframe will be agreed before booking. If you need selected photographs quickly for publicity or a time-sensitive announcement, mention this in your enquiry so I can confirm what is possible.
What if some guests do not want to be photographed?
Please let me know beforehand so we can agree a practical approach with the organiser, including how those guests will be identified discreetly on the day.
Can you photograph events outside Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire?
Please get in touch with the location and timings. I’m based in South Normanton and can confirm availability and any travel costs as part of your quote.
