Amazing Photographer!

Jake was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! He was so easy going that he made me and partner feel really relaxed even though we both hate having our pictures taken. He really understood our vision of wanting candid pictures rather than forced ones and they came out amazing. My bridesmaids absolutely loved jake and so many of our guests said how lovely he was. I would recommend Jake to everyone!

We haven't stopped looking at our photos since we received them!

It was an absolute pleasure to have Jake photograph our day. We love how he captured our day so beautifully and we haven't stopped looking at the photos since we received them (and we received our gallery much sooner than expected which was an additional bonus!). We had so many of our guests comment on how fantastic Jake was throughout the day too - he made guests feel completely at ease. We would highly recommend!

Fantastic photographer!

Jake did a fantastic job for our wedding. Beautiful photos and made everyone feel at ease. Spent time with us to go through what we wanted before the wedding day and was flexible on the day itself as plans changed! The photos came out wonderfully and on a really quick turnaround as well. Our guests all noted Jake's friendliness and how he blended in to the crowd so well. Would highly recommend! Thank you Jake for capturing such an important day.

Beautiful, candid photography

Jake is an incredible photographer, who we would highly recommend! As well as being kind, friendly and fun to have at our wedding on the day, he captured the most beautiful photos and was highly professional throughout the whole process. He kept us constantly updated and took the time during our consultations to understand what we wanted from our wedding photos. We were so happy with the results. Thank you so much Jake!

Outstanding, professional photographer

We honestly can’t recommend Jake enough! From the very first moment, he put us completely at ease. We were nervous about feeling awkward in front of the camera or having to do lots of stiff, staged poses, but Jake’s warm, friendly approach made the whole experience feel so natural. He has an amazing ability to capture real moments — the laughter, the happy tears, and all the little glances in between — without ever feeling intrusive. On the day, it felt like he was everywhere and nowhere at once, somehow managing to catch every special detail without us even noticing he was there. The end result? Absolutely stunning photos that tell the full story of our day exactly as we remember it, only better. Every picture feels alive and full of emotion. Our friends and family can’t stop complimenting them, and we know we’ll treasure these memories forever. If you want a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture genuine moments, and deliver photos you’ll fall in love with, Jake is the one. Truly outstanding!

Amazing Photographer... book him now!

Jake captured our wedding day so beautifully! Before the day we were both quite apprehensive about being in front of the camera. However, Jake was so calming and professional that we both actually enjoyed the experience! We are so pleased with our photos from the day and they have captured so wonderfully the joy and love we felt surrounded by. We have already recommended Jake too many of our friends who are getting married. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer who will make you feel completely at ease, will blend in with your guests and capture high quality images to help the special moments from your day last a lifetime.

I'm so glad we chose Jake to capture our wedding. Our photos are all beautiful and really capture the joy of the day, we are so happy with them! Jake was great at communicating with us in the lead up to the day and made us feel very comfortable. It was a pleasure to have him there and many guests commented on how much they liked him as he was so friendly and approachable ☺️ We also used Jake's website to order prints of the photos and they arrived very quickly and are amazing quality

Family photos to keep forever

Jake was such a joy to plan our wedding with. He is so experienced (he gave us a run down of how photos would be taken in advance so it all flowed effortlessly on the day), really professional and yet so friendly and fun to be around. So many photos are now in frames in the homes of both our families. I love these family photos and the photos of my now husband and I celebrating our big day.

A calming influence on the day!

Jake photographed our wedding during a rainstorm and his patience and good spirits were second to none. Our photos turned out brilliantly and not only do we have the ones requested, we now have some unique pictures due to last minute weather changes that we wouldn’t have even thought of. Nothing was too much trouble throughout the whole process. Thanks so much Jake!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

One of my most memorable weddings was Octavia's. I left Bristol to head for the London to film the wedding and after a beautiful ceremony, the couple took a rowing boat down the Thames to be met by bag pipes and a samba band! The speeches were brilliant and heartfelt, just want you want as a photographer and filmmaker!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Documentary, natural, candid, emotive and people-focused.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm most proud of my ability to put couple's at ease when in front of the camera. As a camera shy person myself, I know what it can feel like not wanting to have your picture taken.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

When planning your day and finding a moment for couple photos, make sure you don't organise them straight after the ceremony. That's your time to relax, celebrate with your friends and enjoy a well-deserved drink.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I've captured a wedding which had a ceremony that included a literal tying of the knot - "an ancient Celtic tradition called the Handfasting Ceremony". It was absolute stunning and a style of ceremony I'd not seen before.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once a couple reaches out, I'll set up a pre-wedding consultation where we can get to know each other and have a chat about your day. After that I'll send over a contract which is returned with a deposit of £150 and then the date is secured! Then we can stay in contact and have another chat a month before the wedding to go over any changes.
