HEY- IT'S JO
I'll start first
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Welcome to my world. It’s one filled with beautiful city landscapes and mid-century architecture. I’m a London wedding photographer who takes her creative lead from the muted colours and sweeping cinematic grandeur of the city. I love to use the scenery and light to create cinematic, emotive and striking imagery for my couples.
You will be taken back to your wedding day with each image from the detail shots, moments of action, laughter and happy tears!
Beside modern warehouse and studio venues in London, you will find me photographing weddings in stately homes, European villas and private gardens. What I care the most is that you love my photography and trust me to tell your story!
MY APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Although I’m not big on labels, my approach to photographing weddings could definitely be described as “modern reportage with an artistic flair“. You might even call it “relaxed fine art”. I shoot in a discreet, unobtrusive way that’s a little bit different to your average. I tend to shy away ever so slightly from stiff, traditional wedding photography. I do, however, pour lots of energy and creative gusto into your wedding portraits, heavily influenced by my love for street photography, analogue film photography, architecture and light. I also care about the small details and stuff that matters to you the most - love, feelings, emotions.
No interference on my part, no staging, gentle guidance.

THE LOWDOWN
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU
You know what’s so amazing about your wedding day? It’s the connection between you both, the connection that’s been building ever since you both locked eyes all that time ago, building to this. Very. Moment.
When I’m photographing your wedding, it’s that connection that I focus on. How you respond to one another, how you laugh, how you joke with one another, I think it’s the beating heart of any partnership. On a day that’s specifically about you two and your friends and family, it’s important that your photographer “gets” you and what you’re about. It’s the best party you’ll probably ever go to, with more joy, emotion and elation than you’ll ever experience in one day again during your lifetime. I have your back! I do not only bring my cameras - I will be there as friend. For me, it’s important that you’re able to experience every moment of it without worrying about the photography. You can leave that to me.
Am I the right fit?

I'LL SHOOT ANYONE
Goes without saying that I’ll shoot any kind of wedding you can think of: anything from big family gatherings to intimate elopements, it’s all good. I’ve worked with couples from every corner of the world, and support every kind of orientation, gender, or belief system you have.
Equal rights = human rights.
Whether you’re conducting a ceremony in an old music hall, or eloping in the city away from everyone. I want to be involved. Extra brownie points for bringing your furry baby to your wedding!
