Perfect, just perfect. I just saw the photos. Many thanks to you. As always you’ve done a terrific job! You have given us so much joy with the way you see us and capture these lovely moments. I’m truly happy because I’m never usually in the photos with my kids, as I play the photographer role in our family… thank you very much.

Anna and James – Heaton Mersey, Cheshire
Just wanted to let you know that James loved the photos for Fathers Day.
We’ve decided that we can’t decide so we are going to have them all!
Katie and Viki – The Wirral
Our family photo shoot day last summer was a fantastic, fun, and enjoyable afternoon out! Nicola made our 5yr old twin boys feel very quickly at home with the camera with her friendly approach and she explained what she was doing throughout the session. Her calm friendly and non-patronising way of communicating with them has resulted in what we think are the best family photos ever (obviously!) We had so much fun! The boys played naturally in our local park, scootered and enjoyed being pirates and various Star Wars characters, while Nicola happily took shots of us and gently guided us in the directions she felt were artistically best! Overall we feel that she has really captured us relaxing and playing as a family in our home environment. We would highly recommend her, especially if you have small children (or even if you are adults who like to act like children!). We are thrilled with our Nicola Wardle USB stick containing all our favourite images of the day. Massive thanks 😊
Cat and Mike – Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire
We just had a wonderful family photo shoot with Nicola. We had the shoot on our doorstep/garden and some local woods which have become a special place to us during lockdown. It all felt very natural. She captured our family perfectly including our newborn and toddler.
She was very respectful with social distancing and wore a mask appropriately but still managed to get our toddler beaming. It felt very safe. It’s lovely we were still able to capture these moments given current (COVID-19) situations.
Debbie and Lee – Marple, Stockport, Cheshire
Hi Nicola, you superstar! We are thrilled with the photos.
Well I’ve only been able to narrow my favourites down to a massive 38, so clearly we’ll be buying all of them once again!
Alison – Timperley, Altrincham
Well aren’t those pictures an absolute joy to the eye. Everyone just loves them.
Becky – Saddleworth, Oldham
I love that my girls and I now have natural pictures of the three of us spending quality time together. They will be so special to look back on.
We documented our local walk, that had become daily during lockdown.
None of us are too keen on having our photos taken, but the shoot was so relaxed and informal that we could just be ourselves, without feeling shy.
I’m so happy with the photos and can’t wait to get them up on the walls! Such special memories.
Mitra and Damian – Mobberley, Knutsford, Cheshire
WOW Nicola, these pictures are AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH….I have just been crying my eyes out looking at all the photos!
Thank you so much for the lovely photos of our life back in the UK….LOVE them all x
Paul and Neil – Chorlton, Manchester
We had pictures taken by the incredible Nicola Wardle Photography for Granny’s birthday, just before Christmas. We’ll definitely do it again xxx
Ross and Family – North West
Not much to say on the shoot images apart from… ‘wow!’
These are incredible – what a fantastic result and a great feeling just thinking about how many sets of parents, grandparents etc will take such joy from looking through these. My mum will love them as well! Definitely mission accomplished.
Gemma and Venkat – Sale, Manchester
We love the photos they are beautiful thank you! We love how you’ve made even the worst parts of the house look beautiful and how you’ve captured our little family and our story. There are so many amazing photos but one of my favourites is the one of us peeking around the pillar. :-)
Josephine and Jon – Formby, Liverpool
Oh my goodness, I cannot thank you enough. The pictures are completely stunning and I’m a bit overwhelmed! I’ve spent the last 24 hours just gazing at them all!
Thank you so, so much. I’m thrilled we did this with you and we have these memories captured so wonderfully.
Shona and Dave – Heaton Moor, Stockport, Cheshire
We are absolutely blown away by the photo’s, it actually made Dave cry! Thank you ever so much for your hard work and for the extras. Trying to choose our favourites is almost impossible.
Amanda and Steve – Poynton, Stockport, Cheshire
Before – ”...excited to see Izzy captured in your way – we just haven’t managed to get even one really good shot of her in 10 months because she’s never still and we never have time to get the camera out so its only ever mobile snaps!”
After – “Just had a quick look through and had to tell you they are amazing – absolutely perfect, really captured her character and cuteness!! And captured her first room too which is a bonus we’d really hoped for. Thank you so much.”
Olwen – Wilmslow, Cheshire xxx
OMG OMG OMG, I LOVE THEM ALL SOOOOOOOOOK MUCH!!!! They are beautiful!!!!
I am defo going to go with option Full disc of images & have them bloody all, nom nom cause I am greedy!!!
I cried looking at them, so natural & you captured Bauer perfectly, & of course the other two.
ThanQ soooo much Nicola.
Hugs from little ones & a massive high five from Mama!!!
Lyndsey and Darren – Manchester
Nicola I honestly don’t know what to say. I absolutely love them from the 1st to the last. You’ve captured our family perfectly and you have really allowed Florence’s personality to shine. I’m sat here now and I can’t believe how lucky I am. Please don’t ask me to pick a favourite because I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.
Thank you so so so much. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lyndsey and Darren – Manchester
WOW!!!!! I absolutely love them all. They actually made me cry my bloody heart out. Basically I bloody love them all. Honestly Nicola they’re amazing… Hope your as happy with them as we are xxxxxx
Nicola – Poynton, Cheshire
Thanks so much Nic – I am so pleased with them! You have done a fantastic job, thank you! We will have great difficulty choosing from those which to go up.
Emma and Alan – Manchester
These are wonderful! You’ve done an amazing job capturing all of us, and particularly Edwin and Florence doing what they do. And Alexander park looks great as the back drop, we couldn’t have got a better day for it.
I think I will need to get the USB option so we can have all these to keep!
Thanks again for these, we are all very happy with the results.
Alison and Hugh – Woodsmoor, Stockport, Cheshire
Thanks so much for the gorgeous photos, you have definitely captured Herbie’s personality and his natural (rather than photo) smile! Its lovely to have photos of him doing what we see him doing everyday.
Jackie and Stewart – Northernden, nr Stockport and Manchester
Thanks so very much for coming round to do our pictures. We enjoyed having you here, and the photos are gorgeous, we will treasure them.
Suze and Adam – Manchester xxx
“Wow wow WOW! Me and Adam would just like to say a huge Family M thank you for these fabulous photos. They’re exactly what we were after and you’ve captured some of Isaacs famous moments perfectly (smiles, frowns, playing with the bin!) I was viewing them last night in bed on my phone! Looked again this afternoon with my family on our mac and some of them really brought a tear to my eye. Damn hormones! You are one talented lady. We’re going to go through your price list and decide what to have. But I honestly love them all!
Thank you again from a very happy and proud mummy and daddy!”
Sonja and Karl – Heaton Moor, The Heatons
“We are really really pleased with the photos. They really are amazing so thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job. We have been racking our brains to work out our favourites and we actually can’t! They are all gorgeous and Bea is just adorable. I do like the ones In the grass and of course the converse ones are cool. The very first one of her eating the apple is too cute and will definitely end up framed and taking pride of place in the living room!”
Emma and Adrian – The Midlands

Chris – Prestwich, Lancashire
“Although it didn’t seem the best time for a photoshoot we wanted to mark our youngest boys first birthday. We asked Nicola as we’d used her previously and the photos were lovely. We chose our local park so got some great shots of our boys. Comparing the two shoots, other than the social distancing and longer lens used the outcome was just as great as our first shoot and extremely low risk.”
