Wedding Photographer Alfreton — Capture Your Day with Style & Emotion

Welcome to Ian Petrie’s Photography — Your Alfreton Wedding Photographer

Planning a wedding in Alfreton, Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire? I’m Ian Petrie — a multi-award winning Alfreton-based wedding photographer (with services across Derby, Nottingham, the East Midlands and beyond).

With a unique blend of bold, warm tones and a relaxed, documentary-style approach, I aim to capture real, heartfelt moments — not stiff, staged photos. My goal: to tell your story authentically, so that when you look back, you don’t just see images — you feel the magic of the day again.

Why Choose Me for Your Derby Wedding

  • Local & Experienced: Based in Alfreton, Derbyshire — I understand the region, the local venues and what works for a Nottingham wedding.

  • Relaxed, Natural Approach: I focus on candid moments, genuine emotions, and a laid-back experience — perfect if you don’t love being posed.

  • Creative & Timeless Style: My images combine documentary realism with artistic flair — producing photos that look beautiful today, and timeless years down the line.

  • Flexible Packages to Suit You: From intimate elopements to full-day celebrations — whether you want photography only, or video and drone footage included — I tailor packages to your needs.

  • Smooth, Stress-Free Experience: I aim to make your day flow effortlessly — giving you space to enjoy the moment while I quietly capture the memories.

What I Offer — Photography & Videography Packages

  • Pre-wedding / Engagement Shoot — A relaxed session to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Great warm-up before the big day.

  • Full-day Wedding Coverage — Up to 8–10 hours with one or two photographers, capturing everything from preparations to first dance and beyond.

  • Photography + Video + Drone — Combine timeless photos with cinematic video highlights (ceremony, speeches, aerials) for full coverage.

  • Customisable Add-ons — Albums, prints, second shooter, aerial photos, and more — tailored to what matters most to you.

All packages come with a secure online gallery for sharing, optional print products, and no hidden fees.

A bride and groom share a close, heartfelt moment during their wedding reception, with her arms around his neck and their foreheads touching in an intimate embrace, in a decorated reception hall with subdued lighting and colorful uplighting.

What to Expect

  • A friendly, no-pressure consultation (by phone, video call, or in person) to hear your story, your vision — and get a feel for whether we're a good fit.

  • Guidance and gentle direction — because many couples aren’t used to being photographed. My style helps even camera-shy pairs feel comfortable.

  • Beautiful, high-quality edited images — often 600–1000 delivered (for a full day), depending on the flow of your wedding.

  • Flexible planning: if you have special requests, unique ideas, or unusual venues — I’m open and ready to adapt.
