Jay did an amazing job at our wedding at Ludlow Castle on Saturday. She made the most of a great venue, fitted in as much a possible to a tight schedule and was very good at getting guests organised! We highly recommend her and her lovely photos More...

Jay has been our Family photographer for last 6 years. She is absolutely exceptional Photographer, so talented, full of new ideas and she is excellent peoples person. She knows exactly what I want even before I have said it. Her work is always exceeding my expectations and believe me my expectations are very high. We got countless, absolutely amazing images on our walls at home that Jay has created, staring from maternity shoot I had back in 2013, NewBorn shoots for both of our children, CakeSmash, Xmas mini shoots (it’s our annual tradition) and of course Family Photo Shoots. These images we will cherish forever Thank you Jay More...

We have had a number of photo shoots with Jay over the past few years, from wedding to newborn and toddler shots. Jay is very approachable and puts us all at ease whenever we’re with her.
Jay is a true professional and her attention to detail is second to none. She puts a lot of thought into her props and allows your input on ideas which is great. We love her style and the quality of her work is truly stunning.
We cherish all of our images that Jay has captured of our family so far.
I would recommend Jay for all aspects of photography! �

We had a fantastic photoshoot with Jay. My daughter is very shy and she put us both at ease instantly. It took a while for my daughter to come out of her shell, but when she did Jay got some truly magical shots. It was difficult to choose our favourite as they were all so beautiful. We've had previous photoshoots with other photographers, but none were as good as Jay. She has a lovely style and we can not wait to get our print up on the wall. More...

We have had two photo shoots with Jay so far. The most recent being a newborn shoot. I have previously used another photographer for my first two children and it put us off doing another newborn shoot but after hearing so many good things about Jay I thought I would give it ago. I was so apprehensive and nervous about it especially with new baby hormones flying around the place, but the moment I walked through the door, she immediately put me at ease. She is just amazing with babies and knows all the tricks in the book to relax them...and the mum. It was so relaxed, with a hungry newborn who kept wanting to stop for feeds, Jay was completely prepared for this and didn’t make me feel rushed at all. Overall the photoshoot was an amazing experience and the photos are incredible. We can’t stop looking at them! If only we could have found Jay years ago! We will definitely be going back to Jay in the near future for more photo shoots �� More...

thank you so much Jay for capturing our wonderful day. The images we have received are truly magical and amazing, captured our special day perfectly!
Jay was amazing throughout our wedding day and went all out to make sure everything was perfect for us. From the initial appointment to the actual day, Jay was so professional and helpful and nothing was ever too much. Jay is completely focussed on making sure the images she took are exactly what we wanted and she it meticulous to detail. We are so pleased we chose Jay to be our wedding photographer, we knew she would be fantastic as she has photographed both of our boys before hand with the little angels and little monkeys photos and they too were absolutely fantastic! I would and have highly recommended Jay to anyone looking to have professional photography, lovely friendly lady and we will defiantly be booking with Jay in the future for more family photos!
Thanks Jay xx

Jays eye for detail, and talent for spotting and capturing spontaneous moments of magic means that we have a collection of photographs that transport us back in time every time we open them up. We love the fact that we have been able to have them printed in coffee table books rather than photograph albums as they sit on our bookshelf and we often flick through them as a family enjoying the memories and the beautiful photography.

Over the past few years Jay has captured all of my families special moments, including newborn, family portrait and 2 cakes smashes. Her work is stunning and my house is adorned with her beautiful work. But most importantly she makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, which no other photographer has made me feel (as i hate having photos taken). Whether it be feeding your newborn baby or her studio covered in cake icing Jay is always accommodating and as new mother that is just what you need.I would only ever use Jay, by far the best in Herefordshire.

When I recieved the proofs of my son Jake's photo shoot with Jay, I burst into tears, because they were so beautiful and something more. This is why Jay is the best at what she does, because you always get the something more. After seeing Jake's photos my daughter Amy has asked for a shoot with Jay as her Christmas present - relief, as she's always the hardest to buy for. Thank you Jay. More...

Absolutely fantastic experience, I took my little boy for a newborn shoot, he was a little older than newborn though so he was quite alert. . I was worried he'd cry through the whole shoot but Jay was like a baby whisperer! She managed to keep him quiet, calm and sleepy the whole time. The result was some absolutely fantastic photos and a very happy mummy! Keep up the good work Jay! Xxx More...

Have had many photoshoots with Jay Watson Photography, most recently for my baby Niece a couple of weeks ago. Jay was beyond perfect. She made us all feel very at home, nothing was too much trouble and she was incredible with baby Ella. Working as a local model I have had many photoshoots with many different photographers but without a doubt Jay is my favourite photographer and person to shoot with.She has supported my modelling throughout the years and has become a good friend. I would recommend Jay to everyone and anyone. :) More...

Jay captured some beautiful photographs of both our 5 month old and 7 year old together earlier this year..not an easy feat! Not only did she take stunning photographs but she put us all at ease with her friendly and patient manner. Nothing was too much trouble. Both boys were able to relax and feel at ease in front of the camera and we now have some fantastic memories to treasure. More...
