Nastia Photography

Nastia Photography is the documentary wedding photography of Nastia, who uses she/they pronouns and is based in Dover, between Folkestone and Canterbury. Nastia photographs weddings in Kent, London and the Midlands, and travels to the rest of the UK. The work is candid and unposed, with a touch of contemporary style, and it follows the whole day rather than a set shot list.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Inclusion sits at the centre of this business. Nastia works with queer, trans, non-binary and polyamorous couples, and talks about access needs from the very first conversation. Nastia is disabled and has worked on wedding shoots exploring disability and representation. This suits couples who want a photographer who will not try to fit them into a traditional mould, and who will simply let the day unfold.

What they offer

• Full day wedding coverage, from getting ready through to the evening
• Micro wedding coverage of two hours, ideal for town hall and register office ceremonies
• Engagement shoots
• Help planning a proposal, with photographs of the moment
• Photography in English or Ukrainian, with conversational Dutch

How they work

The approach is relaxed and quiet. Nastia captures the planned moments, such as the vows and the speeches, along with the small moments in between. Planning calls before the wedding help you feel comfortable on the day, and couples often say they barely noticed the camera. Nastia holds an Enhanced DBS check and a first aid certificate.

Where they cover

Nastia is based in Kent and covers Kent, London and the Midlands as standard. Micro weddings are offered in East Sussex too. Weddings elsewhere in the UK are welcome, with travel costs added.
