What is Nice Photography:
Nice photography likes to keep it simple. Unposed, natural photography of kids and special occasions.
I love capturing meaningful moments, whether that be a wedding or birthday or a kid simply letting loose at the beach I never grow tired of finding those little sparks of joy and wonder that emerge from even the most simple of situations. And even after nearly 20 years of shooting I have yet to find a posed shot that beats a genuine moment.
I have built my career on knowing where to be, where to look and most importantly when to push that button to quietly record the most precious of moments with barely any fuss.
Who is Nice Photography:
Hi, I’m Kevin. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 18 years. My career started in music, travelling the world to capture bands and events. While that was an unforgettable experience, I found myself looking for something more—which led me to a rewarding second career in special education*.
Working in special education taught me how to connect with children of all ages and personalities. It showed me that the most beautiful photos aren't the ones you force, but the ones that happen naturally when people feel comfortable and understood.
That is the heart of Nice Photography. I combine my experience behind the lens with a genuine, patient approach to capturing people as they really are.
When I'm not photographing families or weddings, I continue to work as a commercial photographer, capturing events for some of the world's leading brands, including eBay, Netflix, and Disney. Thanks to this commercial work, my living doesn't depend on a packed wedding season. I take on a limited number of couples each year because I genuinely love it. Every wedding is an authentic creative pursuit, documented with the precision of commercial event coverage and the warmth of genuine human connection. Whether documenting a ceremony or a family portrait, my aim is to capture those honest, heartfelt instances you will truly cherish.
* Autism and Special Education Needs
As well as mainstream TA work I spent many happy years as an Advanced Teaching and Learning Assistant working in a fabulous school for autism. There I worked across all age ranges from Reception to 6th Form both in class and one to one with students with both ASD and additional behavioural needs. I would therefore be delighted to work with children who may find the traditional photoshoot challenging. Throughout the years I've seen every behaviour under the sun and am totally unfazed by even the most lively or reserved characters. For no extra charge I can spend more time prior to shooting, building up confidence around myself, the camera and the process so every child can end up enjoy it.
