Lara Jacques Photography Full Description

Capturing Your Wedding Day with Authenticity and Heart

Hello! I’m Lara, a wedding photographer based in the stunning Cotswolds near Burford, Oxfordshire. My passion is capturing the true personality and emotions of your wedding day in a way that feels natural and effortless. Think of me as a friendly presence with a camera—someone who helps you and your guests feel relaxed so your story unfolds just as it should.

My Approach to Wedding Photography

Every couple’s story is unique, and my goal is to create a collection of images that reflect your genuine connection. I specialize in a documentary style that captures the real moments—the smiles, tears, laughter, and everything in between. Alongside these candid shots, I also include classic couple and group photos to give you a beautifully balanced wedding album. Each image is carefully edited to the highest standard, preserving your memories with clarity and warmth.

  • Natural & Relaxed: I create a calm, comfortable atmosphere so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re posing for the camera.
  • Documentary Storytelling: From morning preparations to evening celebrations, I capture your day as it happens, telling your authentic wedding story.
  • Emotive & Timeless: I focus on raw, heartfelt moments that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

About Me

Originally from Canada and raised in the Scottish Highlands, I now call the Cotswolds home. Before becoming a photographer, I spent over 10 years as a police officer—a role that sharpened my ability to connect with people and capture genuine emotions. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me enjoying country walks with my dog, relaxing by a cozy pub fire, or savoring a great cup of coffee. I’m passionate, highly sensitive, and always eager to grow and refine my craft to serve couples like you better.

Good evening Lara, and Happy New Year! I can't believe it has been a whole month since the wedding, no idea where that time went. Thank you so much for sending over the pictures, they are beautiful and we feel they really capture the love and laughter from the day. Love Kirsten and Matt

thank you

Hi Lara, We just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our day run so smoothly and being so helpful throughout the day as well- I believe you even helped Andy with the table settings in the morning!! We really appreciated your balance of getting some nice photos but keeping it pretty chilled too. Love Rose and Andy

Thank you

Lara is an amazing photographer and you will be sorry if you do not book her for your wedding! Lara did our wedding on the 14th March (one of the last before the crazy lockdown), and the photos are just stunning. Her down to earth manner, easy attitude and all-out caring personality made our engagement shoot and wedding day feel great, and us at ease. She stayed calm throughout the day and was very helpful (she helped with balloons in the morning!). She kept stating that it is our day and we need to enjoy it. She put us above her photos so she would only do the 'staged' photos when we felt ready. I had a great dress and she managed to capture its glory in all photos. As well as the usual photos she caught some amazing natural photos, including of everyone dancing. A fabulous photographer for your fabulous wedding day. Safe to say we loved having Lara as our wedding photographer!

Bay Tree, Burford

Lara took the photographs at our wedding in December 2019 at the Baytree Hotel in Burford. During the initial meetings, Lara came across as warm, friendly and very enthusiastic and passionate about photography. We had no hesitation in booking her. During the period of time between booking and the actual day Lara kept in contact, confirming details and offering quiet confidence and reassurance. On the day of the wedding she was a dream and offered far more than a standard photographer would. During the girly preparations in the bridal suite she had a discreet presence whilst capturing some very emotional moments. She offered genuinely welcome advice before the ceremony. As the day progressed both Simon and I were really not aware of her presence yet she seemed to manage to be everywhere and the result has been a very large number of beautiful pictures. We asked that the majority should be informal, capturing the day, and that is exactly what we have got. There are tears, laughter and candid shots of our friends and family. The best part though was that many of our guests commented on how warm and friendly Lara was - almost like a guest with a camera. We could not have asked for more and would wholeheartedly recommend Lara to others. A very talented lady.
