I’m Mamad, a wedding photographer based between Derby and Nottingham, and I photograph every wedding myself. I’ve been a professional photographer since 1992. I started out in fashion and music portraits in London, then moved to Nottingham in 2006 and began photographing weddings. Around 200 weddings later, I’m still at it.

My style is documentary. I work quietly in the background, I don’t stage or force anything, and I’d rather you forgot I was there. I’m an introvert, so being the centre of attention was never the plan. You’ll still get portraits of the two of you, but they’re short and relaxed, usually a walk somewhere with good light rather than an hour of posing.

If you’d like video too, I offer Hybrid Photo + Video. I film short clips on the same camera alongside the photos and edit them into a film of around 3 minutes, set to music. It’s not a replacement for a full video team, and there’s no recorded audio, so your vows and speeches won’t be in it. For a lot of couples it’s enough, and it’s one less supplier to organise.

I cover Derby, Nottingham, the wider East Midlands and further afield. If that sounds like what you’re after, send me a message. I reply within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Will this be a problem?

Not at all! Almost all my couples tell me they are camera shy and feel awkward in front of the camera, which is totally normal. My approach involves getting you guys to feel relaxed with me first, and then in front of my camera. The engagement shoot is a huge help, and I highly recommend that you add one to your wedding package.

How long do we have to wait to get our full gallery of images?

You will get a few preview images in your online gallery a couple of days after your wedding. However, it will take roughly 2 to 3 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it takes me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you’d like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush service.

How many pictures will we get?

From a typical wedding day (full day coverage) you will get about 500-700 images. Elopements and shorter coverage times could be less. I don’t limit the number of images I deliver. If I think it’s a good image, I will let you have it!

Do you provide wedding albums?

Oh yes, and they are beautiful! You can opt for a package that includes an album OR you can purchase one from your print store after your images have been delivered. These Fine Art Wedding Albums are hand-bound in England and are of an exquisite quality. After your wedding photos are delivered you will receive an album brochure detailing colours and customisation options as well as a “how to guide” to make the process as simple as possible.

Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

Of course I do! You only have to look through my Instagram page to see how many same-sex weddings I’ve covered over the years. I photograph love in all it’s forms, and totally support LGBTQIA+ choices. Love is love and I’m 100% here for it.

Customer Reviews

a bride and groom exit their wedding ceremony at Pippley Walled Garden in Nottingham.
“Mamad recently photographed our wedding and did such a fantastic job! Our wedding was later in the afternoon so we only wanted a couple of hours of coverage and Mamad was more than happy to oblige. He was really lovely and was great at capturing those candid moments between us and our guests as well as the more structured group shots that were requested. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our special day, so thank you Mamad!”

“We could not reccomend Mamad enough. He captured our wedding day so beautifully and we are so happy with every single photo. He made us all feel so at ease and comfortable throughout the day and caught moments we didn’t even know were happening. We will cherish the photos forever and continue reccomeding Mamad at any given opportunity. Thank you so much. The new Mr and Mrs Stiebahl”
– Rebecca and Kieran
“”We decided to book our wedding very last minute and I was very overwhelmed by the choices including photographers. I wasn’t sure how anyone picked a photographer as I thought they all did the same kind of thing. However when I came across Mamad’s profile I knew instantly that his pictures stood out and looked special compared to other companies. Mamad did such a great job picturing the day. Leading up to the wedding he was clear and communicated well, available to chat on zoom, and provided me really useful emails. The photo gallery is very easy to view and use once the pictures are ready, I loved that Mamad has social media and we were able to see preview of some of the pics the day after. Overall I’d say a lot of things are suggested for a wedding and it’s easy to get lost in what you need and what you don’t need but 100% recommend Twig and Vine photography as these will be memories I’ll look back on that were taken in such a special way.” “
