NEW BEGINNINGS Natasha HowarthMiller at HowarthMiller Weddings is a chill, slightly quirky Nottingham lass specialising in beautiful candid wedding photography across the Midlands and beyond. For the past six years, she has been dedicated to the art of wedding photography and videography with her husband, Chris. However, recent developments have led to some exciting changes in the business! Chris has transitioned into a full-time role as a podcast producer, leaving Natasha to embark on a solo journey in the world of wedding photography. With this transition comes a revamped brand, a fresh website, a renewed focus on authenticity in her work, a boom in bookings and a drive to deliver an exceptional service to couples UK-wide. Plus, she can now officially join the ranks of women-owned businesses! Natasha comments, “The past year has been full of opportunities and growth! I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed brands, being featured in publications, working with some awesome businesses in Nottingham and expanding my offerings. I’ve opened my schedule to accommodate candid family shoots in response to popular demand. Candid, laughterfilled sessions that capture the true essence of families.” To commemorate these changes and express her gratitude, Natasha is offering a £200 discount on her most popular package (package #1 on the website) for the remaining 2024 dates. Furthermore, her calendar is now open for bookings into 2025 and 2026. We’ve teamed up with the company to extend this discount to readers for 2025 bookings when they quote Your Midlands Wedding.
