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.

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.

Couldn’t recommend Amarsi & Co enough
Just want to say a huge thank you to Jay and Frances for helping us capture the most precious photos of our newborn. They couldn’t have done anymore for us and was very patient throughout. Couldn’t recommend Amarsi & Co enough and can’t wait to use them again in the future. ❤️

What can I say other than brilliant and definitely recommend. Hired for a photoshoot with my 2 lads. Really personable and my lads aged 9 and 11 felt at ease and we got some fantastic pictures. They are now up on my walls and I will treasure them forever!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What’s it like having you there on the wedding day?

Relaxed, calm and unobtrusive. I’ll step in when you need direction, but most of the day I’m quietly watching for the moments you might otherwise miss. The aim is for you to enjoy the wedding, not feel like you’re on a photoshoot.

We’re not comfortable in front of the camera. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most couples say the same thing. I keep things natural, give simple direction when it helps, and never force anything that doesn’t feel like you. You don’t need to know how to pose.

Do you take group photos as well as candid photos?

Yes. The overall approach is documentary-led, but I’ll still make sure the important family and group photographs are covered. We’ll agree a sensible list beforehand so it stays organised and doesn’t take over the day.

What happens if the weather is terrible?

We work with it. Rain rarely ruins photographs, and it can often create brilliant light and atmosphere. I’ll always have a backup plan, use the venue where needed and keep an eye out for any dry breaks.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I’m based in Derbyshire and regularly work across the Midlands and further afield. Travel is included within the area stated in your collection, and any additional costs will always be clear before you book.

Do you offer film photography?

Yes. A roll of 35mm film can be added alongside your digital coverage. It gives you a small set of photographs with a more textured, nostalgic feel, delivered digitally with the rest of your gallery.

When will we receive our photographs?

You’ll receive a preview shortly after the wedding, followed by your full edited gallery within the timeframe agreed in your contract. I’d rather deliver a properly finished gallery than rush it out for the sake of speed.

Can we speak before we book?

Of course. A relaxed consultation gives us a chance to talk through your plans, answer any questions and make sure we’re a good fit. There’s no hard sell and no pressure to decide on the call.

What makes your approach different?

I’m not there to turn your wedding into a production. I focus on people, atmosphere and the small moments happening around you, while still making sure the important photographs are handled properly. The result should feel like your wedding, not somebody else’s template.

Do you have backup equipment and insurance?

Yes. I photograph weddings using two professional camera bodies, backup equipment and a careful file backup process. I also carry public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
