"From Lancashire with Love..."
LECTURES 2021/22
"In 1965, a would-be Wedding Photography Lecturer was born and made to work in jobs she didn't like.
This woman promptly escaped from a life of drudgery and learned all she could about photography, teaching & editing.
Today, she is wanted for desperate 'camera clubs, photography societies, networking meetings, women's groups, and mixed groups all over the UK & beyond.
She survives, making a living out of being informed, comprehensive, entertaining, and showcasing beautiful & quirky wedding photography.
If you have Zoom and if no one else can help, and if you can find me, maybe you can hire Nancy Lisa Barrett Photography for your lecture!"
Are you looking for a lecturer?

Blackburn Camera Club - 10 February 2020
REVIEWS:
Lynn C - A thoroughly inspirational presentation Nancy! Your commitment and passion as a wedding photographer is amazing, your demonstration of talent - exceptional!!
Andrew W - Enjoyed the evening, very inspirational, you're a natural speaker
Lee C - Good night, excellent talk
Sue W - Thanks Nancy it was a brilliant presentation. Confirmed that wedding photography is not for me! Your stories and explanations of the shots were excellent. Thanks again.
Nan G - ‘The Thanks’ should go to you Nancy for being such an interesting speaker yesterday evening [10th Feb 20]. I don’t think we have ever had a speaker that gave as much content into their talk. Slideshows, pictures, AV clips, all put together with a very comprehensive and entertaining commentary - that gave us a real insight into the ‘magic moments’ and unexpected happenings that take place as a wedding is planned and unfolds. You came across as having a very individualistic style, that combined with care for the bride and groom at a very professional level of photography. At Blackburn District Camera Club we thoroughly enjoyed your visit and look forward to the next time we meet.
All the best, Nan
Chapel Camera Club, Chapel En Le Frith - 3rd February 2021
REVIEWS:
Helena Jones - Chapel Camera Club really enjoyed your talk, Nancy. Thank you so much. We learned about the pleasures and pitfalls of Wedding photography and how your cheery personality and creative approach gets impressive results. There are not many talks when I spend the whole 2 hours with a smile on my face! Your humour is infectious and I highly recommend you talk to give people an insight on this side of commercial photography. Thank you.
Chapel Camera Club Member - 'Really refreshing and fun talk tonight'
'I bet she's great at putting people at ease at a wedding'
Chapel Camera Club Member - Another enjoyable presentation, even though I've not done any wedding photography. Nancy was fun, entertaining and I particularly liked seeing her creative ideas. I was amazed at some of her photos taken in difficult surroundings.

Mark Evans - Camversation
Huge thanks to Nancy Lisa Phillips for giving us a cracking talk last night on Camversation. I have to say that if you have a spot you need to fill in your programme, Nancy's talk is super engaging, down to earth, and honest. It's titled wedding photography, but really it's just about being a great photographer, how to overcome challenges, and keep yourself going in your craft. I enjoyed it loads and even my other half (who isn't into photography!) sat in on it too.
