Nicola Gough Photography in short

Nicola Gough Photography is a Doseley wedding photographer booking relaxed Shropshire weddings, with phone, email and contact routes published. The draw is the fixed hourly menu, from short cover to a full day, with sneak peeks soon after the wedding and the full gallery weeks later. In our verdict, it suits couples who want to buy exactly the hours they need. The Doseley base keeps travel short for Telford venues.

Reviews of Nicola Gough Photography sit at five out of five on Google, with forward bookings already open on the site. The pricing page doubles as a plain-English account of the day, which first-time bookers will appreciate. The gaps sit in paperwork: no trading history, no insurance statement and no claimed membership appear on the site.
