Viola Jay Photography

We were drawn to Viola as a photographer because of her talented eye, way of capturing natural and intimate moments, and experience shooting with LGBTQ+ couples. But what really sets her apart is that she truly "gets" you as a couple--she captured all the parts of our wedding we spent the most time and energy on and that weren't necessarily noticed by others but that *we* loved. Somehow without telling her any of them, she caught all of them! Looking back at the photos feels like immersing .....

We had our wedding in September 2023 and Viola captured the day perfectly. Viola is a very relaxed, professional and very talented photographer and the photos really are incredible. Viola captured the amazing colours from the gardens and had some amazing ideas for some shots that will be loved by us forever. The group shots were enjoyed by everyone and we loved everything about the planning, the day and even the beautiful gift box with our 5 top picks. Viola made us both feel really special.....

Where to even begin - the first thing to say is thank you thank you thank, Viola, from the bottom of our hearts. From the moment we first got in touch to our zoom consult to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, you made us feel super comfortable (as two awkward souls) and like we’d known you for years, which is so important. When I first saw the engagement pics I knew we’d picked the right woman - the talent is unreal! On our special day you were such a calming presence and everyone .....

I had the pleasure of working alongside Viola recently at a wedding. During the ceremony she was everywhere she needed to be but unobtrusively and discreetly. The photos that she has captured of the day are beautiful- she has captured so many spontaneous, relaxed moments when the fabulous couple are looking at their finest. I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation

It's not enough to say how talented of a photographer Viola is. Not only did she capture our wedding day with the most beautiful photos we could've ever imagined, but she's also just a genuine and kind human being. She not only made us feel comfortable upon meeting for the first time on our big day, but made us feel like we'd been old friends and that's the kind of soul that brings out the best in anything; and our wedding photos are nothing short of the best!

When I was recommended Violaphotography, I knew right away that she would be the perfect photographer for my wedding. It was really important for me to have in-the-moment and candid photos, and she delivered some absolutely beautiful images. Her work is truly amazing, and I am beyond happy with my photos. From helping me into my dress to interacting with guests, she went above and beyond for us throughout the day, and her warmth really made the experience that much better.

Can’t thank Viola enough for taking the most beautiful photos of our wedding. She captured the day so perfectly, and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Can’t recommend enough!

To start with, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done with capturing our beautiful Italian wedding, how can I even explain the absolute beauty and realness that you brings to you photos. Working with you has been an absolute dream, from first contact you made us feel so comfortable and at ease and when you shot our Legal Ceremony in February we felt like we had know you forever.

Viola was incredible for our wedding. We had a small intimate informal ceremony and she captured the day perfectly. We had a pre shoot with her a few months before which meant we were completely comfortable in front of the camera. All our friends and family loved our pictures and so did we! Would highly recommend.

We had Viola take our photos for our very intimate wedding and I could not have been more pleased - she was incredibly professional but warm and friendly, calming our nerves and making it an all around wonderful experience (and this is from 2 people who do not love to be the centre of attention!). We received a good selection of preview shots in less than 24 hours (!) and the rest around 4 weeks later and I couldn't express just how wonderfully they came out
