Documentary style wedding photography in Somerset

Creating an atmosphere of ease whilst capturing breathtaking natural moments that tell a story

So why choose me?

Being a documentary photographer isn't just about having a keen eye for that perfect shot. 

Sure, my camera freezes your magical moments, but it's the personality that brings them to life. Each photo isn't just a click of the camera, but a burst of laughter, a comforting chat or even a cheeky joke. In fact, I reckon half my job is making sure you are at ease, smiling and generally having a blast on your special day.

I love weaving in my spirited persona into the frame, creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment. You know that feeling when you are having so much fun, you forget there's a camera around? That's the vibe I strive for!

The Wedding Experience

allowing you to be Calm, relaxed and your true authentic selves, creating photographs you can feel.

It’s all about the spontaneous giggles, the joyous tears, and the radiant smiles. I have found that when you are relaxed around your photographer, your photos become a lot more genuine and heartfelt.

It's in these personal interactions that I can understand you better, resulting in photographs that genuinely reflect your unique story. Remember, your love story deserves to be told most beautifully, and as your photographer, I am here to do just that. So, let's create a lovely tapestry of cherished moments that will last a lifetime.

The investment

I truly believe that the best investment you can make for your wedding is in your photography, because at the end of the day that is the main thing you'll have to look back on to remind you of the amazing day you had. I strive to offer collections that work for most couples, from intimate elopements to grand celebrations, ensuring that everyone is able to receive a beautiful recollection of their wedding story.

"Nothing was too much trouble"

We used Jess for our wedding this year! We met Jess initially at a wedding fair and her photos just stood out from the rest! The album that can be created from the photos taken is amazing! From start to finish Jess has been fab. Her communicating, suggestions and being helpful. Jess is very easy to get on with and we both felt at ease on the day.

"I can't wait to show them off to our friends and family!"

Jess gave us little prompts and then faded effortlessly into the background capturing natural and intimate moments. I usually dislike photos of myself, but there are so many beautiful images that I can't wait to show them off to our friends and family! Our photos were delivered so promptly, incredible service! I would highly recommend to anyone!

Chloe & dom

I'm afraid not. As I am a photographer and not a videographer I do not offer a video only collection. When you book a photo and video package you will have me as your photographer and a trusted associate videographer. All footage from the videographer is then handed to me for post-processing, editing and delivery. 

Do you offer videography on it's own?

I do not specify a minimum number of images as this is dependant upon each individual wedding's components. Your final gallery will be a carefully curated story of your day, containing the best images from the day. I do not gate keep your photos, the only images that are not delivered are duplicates or poor quality images that do not add any value to the gallery.

How many photos do you deliver?

With a second photographer/videographer definitely! With only one then this would only be possible if you are both getting ready in the same building and if there is sufficient time given within your timeline. If you definitely want both parties getting ready captured then I would recommend adding a second to your booking.

Can you capture both of us getting ready? 

Of course! I'd be happy to share a full wedding gallery with you to give you an idea of what you can expect. I pride myself on being an open book for my couples. If we have a chat beforehand then I can get an idea of your wedding vibe and provide you with example galleries that are similar. 

Can we view a full wedding gallery?

Preview images are delivered within 72 hours. Photo galleries and highlight videos are delivered within a maximum of 2 calendar months. 

I am able to offer a rush delivery service for a small fee if you would like your deliverables sooner.

What are the delivery timeframes?

This is not a service I offer. For me, the editing work after a wedding is all part of the service. To deliver raw images or video would be like a baker giving you the ingredients instead of a cake or a musician giving you the sheet music instead of performing themselves. Please be assured that you will receive a beautifully editing story of your day in both photo and video form.

Can we have the raw photos and video footage?
