Amarsi & Co Full Description

Hi! I'm Jay

I offer relaxed, documentary-led wedding photography for couples who want their day photographed naturally, without it feeling staged or over-directed.

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2021, initially alongside my career in the police, before launching Amarsi & Co full-time in 2025. That experience has shaped the way I work. I stay calm when plans change, keep an eye on what’s happening around me and make sure the photography never becomes the thing taking over the day.

My approach is simple: let the day happen properly, keep interruptions to a minimum and focus on the real moments that make it yours. That means the big parts, the quiet in-between bits, the reactions you might miss and the people who matter most.

Coverage is tailored around each wedding, from shorter ceremonies and intimate celebrations through to full-day photography from morning preparations into the evening. Every collection includes professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered through a private online gallery, with full printing rights and easy sharing for friends and family.

You can also add an engagement session, wedding album, additional coverage, a second photographer or 35mm film photography for a more nostalgic, imperfect finish alongside the digital photographs.

I’m based in Derbyshire and photograph weddings across the UK. My style is natural, modern and film-inspired, with a strong focus on honest moments, good light and photographs that feel like the day rather than a performance of it.

You’ll have a photographer who is easy to get on with, calm when plans change and good at helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera. My aim is for the photography to feel like part of the day, not something that takes over it.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Jay
Hi, I’m Jay. I photograph weddings in a relaxed, documentary-led way, focusing on the real moments, the atmosphere and everything happening in between. I’ll give you direction when it helps, stay out of the way when it doesn’t, and make the whole experience feel easy. If you want honest photographs without turning your wedding day into a photoshoot, we’ll probably get on well.

Great Price
Had a photo shoot for a surprise engagement, unfortunately I slipped the surprise before it happened despite this, Jay and his wife were excellent, we are extremely awkward people and they managed to get some excellent photos. They were both professional and worked very well with our awkwardness in order to make the most of it! Will absolutely be returning when we get married. Not to mention the prices were absolutely excellent for the package you get.

Very professional
Jay is professional and very good at what he does. He also fits in with the vibe on the day, you can have a laugh with him whilst knowing you’re getting the results you’d expect. Great quality for a very good price! Thankyou.

Jay is an absolute dream of a photographer
Jay is an absolute dream of a photographer. Not only is he friendly, a great laugh, and so so lovely - he’s extremely professional and has a vision for you, when you really don’t know what you want!! I laid down some basics with Jay, of capturing myself and my partner, with our families and friends just enjoying the moment and he really brought that to life and went above and beyond to create an amazing snapshot of our wedding party. He was punctual, and amazing at everything he did.

Takes his craft seriously
Jay is absolutely fantastic! We got married yesterday at Chesterfield Town Hall and just wanted a few snaps after the ceremony. Our wedding was really small and relaxed. Jay captured some beautiful moments both on digital and 35mm. The photos were in my email box in less than 24 hours too! Absolutely amazing. If you want someone who takes their craft seriously but has a lovely warm personality who makes you feel totally relaxed then Jay is your guy! Thanks again so much Jay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding gentleman!!
So lucky to have come across your business page a few months before our big day, what a choice! You helped me de stress on a very chaotic mad morning and put me at ease straight away, you were like one of our friends and we forgot instantly you were there to do a job -everyone of our wedding guests spoke so highly of you. I’d pick you again and again !!

He’s one of the best in the business
We could not recommend Jay enough. We’ve been lucky enough to have Jay shoot a family photo session and our wedding (photography and videography). He’s one of the best in the business and we’re so glad we found him. Jay is incredibly calm, comforting and welcoming. On our wedding day he put everyone at ease and captured authentic moments that have been a joy to look back on. Phenomenal photos and videos - we will be using Jay to capture special moments in our life going forward.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What’s your photography style?

Documentary at heart, with an editorial edge. Most of the day I’m photographing things as they actually happen rather than constantly stopping and staging them. When we do portraits, I’ll give you enough direction that you don’t feel awkward, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

Do you shoot 35mm film?

Yep. Proper film, not a filter made to look like it. I shoot 35mm alongside digital and it’s become a big part of how I photograph weddings. If you love that slightly imperfect, nostalgic look, we can build more film into your coverage too.

How much does wedding photography cost?

Every wedding is slightly different, so I don’t try to squeeze everyone into the same package. Tell me what you’re planning and how much of the day you’d like covered, and I’ll put together options that actually make sense for your wedding.

We hate having our photo taken. Is that a problem?

Not remotely. Most couples tell me this. You’re not expected to know where to stand, what to do with your hands or suddenly become models for twenty minutes. I’ll give you direction when you need it and leave you alone when you don’t.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I’m based in Derbyshire but photograph weddings across the UK and internationally. If you’re planning something further afield, send me the details and I’ll work out the travel properly rather than making you decipher a mileage calculator.

How long do you stay?

That depends on your plans. I photograph everything from shorter celebrations through to full wedding days, so we’ll work out what coverage makes sense rather than automatically starting at 10 hours.

Do you photograph family groups?

Of course. Documentary doesn’t mean your nan gets denied a photograph with you. We’ll keep the formal list sensible, get them done efficiently and then everyone can get back to the wedding.

When do we get our photographs?

You’ll receive your finished photographs through a private online gallery, fully edited in my usual style. I’d put your actual current delivery timeframe here rather than promising something artificially quick.

Can we print our photographs?

Absolutely. Your gallery includes personal printing rights, and you can download, share and print your photographs. Professional prints and albums are also available.

How do we book you?

Get in touch with your date and plans first, ideally via my website www.amarsiandco.uk - If I’m available, we can chat through what you’re looking for and I’ll send everything over. Your date is secured once the contract is signed and booking fee is paid.
