Not only are Nik and Kieran great friends they are also great work partners and so in sync that occasionally they will wear the same clothes like a terrible uniform. After happening once, a good portion of our conversations are about what we are wearing to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
So you may have read our little about us section on the website but we thought you might like to know a little bit more about us and how this incredible business and great value offering came about for all those couples getting married looking for full photo and video coverage.
Nik has been in the wedding industry for 10 years and earlier into his business Kieran got in touch looking to make a move into weddings. After an afternoon working together then hanging out and talking shop over a brew it was clear a great friendship and working relationship would be forged.
Moving forward Nik and Kieran had worked together quite a lot and the next logical step was to build a business together doing what they loved and creating incredible memories for their couples. After sitting down and deciding to give it a go we worked on a wedding together at Sandhole Oak Barn. It couldn’t have gone better! knowing how each other works so well meant that there were no major obstacles that might be faced when hiring two separate people.

Why Hire a Team?
Hiring a photographer and videographer can be a real big investment, but its just that, an investment! The photos and video will be your lasting memories of your wedding day. Something to look back on and re live your wedding day. Sometimes if you hire separate wedding photographers and videographers this can cause problems on the day. Your videographer might want to do one thing while your photographer wants to do another. They can get in each others way or not work well together.
This is where Bellis and Bryant differ, Working closely together to hone their craft Nik and Kieran have come to learn how each other works and what works well together as not to cause any obstructions on the wedding day ensuring you get the best from your photo and videos.

Future Plans
What’s next for Bellis and Bryant? Well while keeping prices affordable for our couples we want to keep pushing forward with weddings. We will soon be introducing drone coverage (where possible) to ensure we are keeping on top of our game. We have some incredible weddings booked in and will be back at Styal Lodge and making our first trip to Middleton Lodge! We will be limiting the weddings we cover each year so make sure you get in early and don’t miss out!
