Welcome to Andrew Madden Photography — a documentary wedding photographer in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire capturing natural, relaxed and joy-filled wedding days across the East Midlands.

Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a celebration. My approach is all about keeping you calm, relaxed and genuinely enjoying every moment while I quietly document the real story of your day. No awkward posing. No forced smiles. Just authentic moments and honest storytelling of real people.

If you're looking for a Nottinghamshire wedding photographer who blends into the background but steps in when needed to guide you gently, you're in the right place.

I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography — capturing real emotion as it unfolds. From the nervous excitement in the morning to the chaos of the dance floor, I focus on genuine moments rather than staged perfection.

That said, I know not everyone feels instantly comfortable in front of a camera. That’s where I come in. I create a calm, easy atmosphere so you can feel completely at ease. We’ll have a laugh, keep things natural, and make sure your couple portraits feel effortless rather than posed.

My aim?
✔ Keep you relaxed
✔ Keep things fun
✔ Capture your day honestly

As a local wedding photographer, I regularly cover weddings throughout:

Nottingham, Derby, The Peak District, Mansfield, Chesterfield, West Bridgford, Bakewell & Venues across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & South Yorkshire.
 

Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding in Derbyshire, a city celebration in Nottingham, or a countryside venue surrounded by rolling hills, I’ll document your day in a way that feels natural and timeless.

Your wedding photos should feel like you. The laughter. The nerves. The quiet glances. The big hugs. The moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

With Andrew Madden Photography, you’ll receive a collection of beautifully edited, high-resolution images that tell the full story of your day — not just how it looked, but how it felt.

If you’re planning your wedding and want a documentary wedding photographer who keeps things calm, relaxed and fun while capturing every meaningful moment, I’d love to hear from you.
