Jane photographed our wedding in September 2022, and we couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Right from the start she was incredibly approachable and made us feel relaxed, and we are so grateful that she captured all of the amazing memories from the day, the photographs are beautiful.

Jane’s photography was the best investment of our wedding! She created such a good atmosphere and made everyone feel comfortable leading to some absolutely gorgeous shots. She completely understood the sort of photos we were looking for and we couldn’t ask for anything more (the quality is amazing and lots of them look like stills from films). We are incredibly grateful to Jane for being such a wonderful part of our day. More...

Jane was our wedding photographer in August and we couldn’t be happier with all of the photos. Jane is both professional and personable, she brought a great energy to the day and in all of our chats before the wedding! She knew how to get all of the best shots on the day, it’s always going to be difficult rounding up groups of people who want to drink but she was able to get all of the pictures and they are all amazing, better than I ever imagined! 100% recommend, thanks for everything!

What can I say that will do Jane the justice she deserves. We hired her to do our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. From the moment she came in she calmed my nerves, made me laugh and captured my morning in the most elegant way . She continued this throughout the day and captured photos we would of never even thought to have asked for. We can not stop looking at the beautiful photos she has given us that we will treasure for a lifetime. I can not put into words how much I would recommend Jane to capture your special day xxx More...

What an amazing photographer Jane is! I had originally booked with someone else and then heard a lot of very negative reviews and decided to find another. I ended up booking with Jane because she wowed me from the start, so full of energy in everything she does! and so many people in the wedding industry had so many positive things to say about her. Communication was excellent from the start, and on the day she got the best photos, so much imagination and creativity. I really can't thank her enough for our wonderful photos of our long awaited day 😍xxx More...

Our guests loved her happy, energetic positive approach to be around on the day. We are so glad we chose to have Janie to capture our special day. Absolutely 100% would recommend her, I recommended her to my friend Jacqui who gets married on Friday 17th September, which we will get to see Janie again on her special day.

Jane was our wedding photographer and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Jane clearly knows how to get the best shots but is also a great person to be around - many of our guests commented on how funny and energetic she was. She even went above and beyond in helping in various other ways on the day, from helping people attach their buttonholes to helping my wife fasten her dress! We received over 750 excellent photos to help us remember the details of our special day for the rest of our lives. We really couldn't wish for a better photographer, Jane is both professional and down to earth - thank you so much! 100% would recommend. More...

Jane is fantastic. She was absolutely great at our wedding yesterday. My new husband and I are not really ones to pose for many photos but Jane made us feel at ease and full of confidence so we were able to pose shots I would have probably felt too shy to do usually- and I'm so glad we did - can't wait to see how they turned out. The whole day was non-stop from start to finish and she had a smile and kind words the whole way through. She was there to offer advice when needed- not just about photography - and nothing was too much trouble for her. We got some beautiful shots in the locations we wanted and she was calm but assertive when gathering our guests for the group shots. We honestly could not have chosen a better photographer for our day. Thank you so much Jane you are an absolute star! More...

Q&As

I love couples who totally embrace their wedding, and I love it when couples are just as excited about the photos as I am.

At around 5 years of age I used to spend hours at home rummaging through our family pictures and be fascinated by the bright yellow envelopes marked “Kodak” stamped on them. From this early age I knew I wanted to take pictures forever and embraced my studying at Art College, gaining the “Student of the Year” (my only award ever !).

I got a real kick out of photographing my first wedding with the renowned and eccentric Herbert Hughes (The Beatles official photographer) who invited me to help him out then told me I was completely in charge. ! I was hooked !!! so having my own business is being in charge of my own destiny. I found that photographing two people in love on their happiest day is my niche.

I should be chosen to photograph their wedding because I am passionate, creative, experienced, excellent at client interaction, artistic, emotional, assertive and not afraid to take on a new project.

I have a very critical eye which is a very useful tool when photographing a wedding. I am a Taurean, the great stabilizer of the zodiac ! and have an eye for beauty. I can think on my feet and seldom crumble under pressure and can rely on my independence and fortitude to get through a stressful situation. Nature and aesthetic beauty are very important to me.

I enjoy being outside looking for beautiful views or places that are particularly camera-friendly. I am happiest in an artistic space or when I can surround myself with objects that I find pleasing to look at. I am honest and a fiercely loyal, and have a strong endurance.

I provide an online gallery of your wedding images which is password protected. This wedding gallery is emailed to you so that you are able to share your images with family and friends. The images can be downloaded for free.

I am completely aware of social distancing, have been double vaccinated and where necessary I wear a mask if in close contact with my couple and their families, particularly around Bridal preparations in the morning. I am very willing to wear a mask during the wedding whilst inside.

Services

I've been a professional photographer for over 43 years, specialising in weddings, portraiture and events. After photographing small intimate weddings, to elopements, to 500 guest count weddings, I've learned so much and see every wedding as unique and important.I like walking into a room knowing that the anticipation, union and celebration will be completely different from the one the week before. People are different. They love differently, they act differently, they dance differently. I enjoy being as hands on as I can to document something that's entirely it's own. I will never have you re-enact anything. I like rawness and quirky moments and Mothers crying and Fathers seeing their brothers for the first time in years. Most of all, I want you to feel comfortable to express love to one another in your own way, whether you're quiet or full of hugs or just want to be sarcastic with one another. I want you to look back on your Wedding pictures as seeing your true selves.
I'm all about making a good connection. If we connect as humans and also connect through the art of creative photography then we're probably going to get on so well.

I sometimes offer included in my wedding packages a free engagement photo shoot as it’s a really good way of getting to know the couple and helping them gain confidence with their body language. Trying out fun poses is a very useful tool to learn for the wedding day ! and some Brides use this opportunity to have a make-up and hair trial at this time.
