Get married. Have an absolute belter. I'll take care of the photographs.
I'm Jay, the founder and creative director at Amarsi & Co. I photograph weddings for couples who want incredible photographs without spending their entire day posing for them. Think genuine moments, considered portraits, 35mm film and a documentary approach that lets everything unfold naturally. I'll happily organise the family photographs, give you a bit of direction when you need it and disappear into the background when you don't.

Amarsi & Co Full Description

Hi, I'm Jay!

I'm a Derbyshire-based wedding photographer with a thing for genuine moments, good light and photographs that feel a little different.

I've been photographing weddings since 2021, initially alongside my career in the police, before taking the leap and launching Amarsi & Co full-time in 2025.

Turns out, spending years dealing with unpredictable situations is pretty good preparation for weddings. I'm calm under pressure, comfortable talking to just about anyone and quite good at noticing things other people might miss.

My photography blends natural documentary storytelling with a more creative, editorial approach. Most of the time, I'm quietly documenting everything as it unfolds. But when the light's looking particularly good or there's an opportunity for a brilliant portrait, I'll happily step in and give you some direction.

I'm also a big fan of 35mm film. There's something about the grain, colours and imperfections that digital photography doesn't quite replicate. It's an optional part of my wedding collections and something I love incorporating into a gallery.

Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a full-day celebration, I'll work around your plans rather than expecting your day to revolve around my camera.

I offer everything from shorter wedding coverage to full-day photography, alongside wedding films, engagement shoots, albums and second photographer options.

Every photography collection includes professionally edited, high-resolution images in a private online gallery, ready to download, print and share.

I'm based in Derbyshire but travel throughout the UK and beyond.

The most important thing? I want you to feel completely comfortable having me around. We'll have a laugh, I'll get to know the people who matter to you, and you'll probably forget I'm there to work half the time.

Because the best photographs usually happen when everyone's too busy enjoying themselves to notice the camera.

Notice everything. Interrupt nothing.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Jay
Hi, I’m Jay! I’m all about natural moments, genuine reactions and photographs that actually feel like you. My style blends relaxed documentary photography with a creative, editorial touch and a bit of 35mm film. I’ll step in when you need a hand, blend into the background when you don’t, and probably have a laugh with your guests along the way. No awkward posing or turning your wedding into a photoshoot. Just great photographs and a good time.

Absolutely Incredible
Jay was absolutely incredible. Such a lovely guy who took the time to get to know us as a couple and our family. He knew exactly what he was doing, and it was a pleasure having him photograph our wedding. We've already received our sneak peek and can't wait for the full gallery!

Excellent Photos, Even for Awkward Couples
Had a photoshoot for a surprise engagement. Unfortunately, I slipped the surprise beforehand! Despite this, Jay and his wife were excellent. We're extremely awkward people, but they managed to get some excellent photos. Both were professional and worked brilliantly with our awkwardness to make the most of it. We'll absolutely be returning when we get married. The prices were excellent for the package you get!

Professional, Relaxed and Incredible Photography
We booked Amarsi & Co for our engagement shoot alongside our wedding photography. My partner and I aren't really posers, but we instantly felt relaxed with Jay. I was very impressed with his professionalism and skill. Jay was accommodating, friendly and really took the time to get to know us. Our photographs arrived quickly, beautifully edited and to an incredibly high standard. We couldn't be happier and look forward to having him photograph our wedding!

Like Having Another Friend at Our Wedding
Outstanding gentleman! So lucky to have come across your business page a few months before our big day. You helped me de-stress on a very chaotic morning and put me at ease straight away. You were like one of our friends, and we instantly forgot you were there to do a job. Every one of our wedding guests spoke so highly of you. I'd pick you again and again! We can't wait to see the content!

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!

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. Prices from £695.

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.
