YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
OH HEY THERE
I’m all kinds of glad that you’re here. I’m Jess - a wedding photographer based in both the United Kingdom and New Zealand (and also Europe and Australia coz I’m a little bit extra). when I’m not photographing couples in love, you can find me exploring the world, eating fries in every country + city I visit, drinking more coffee than is probably good for me, and asking one too many questions.
I’m here for the couples who don’t care about rules, the couples who wanna have the time of their lives on their wedding day, the couples who let the tears flow, the couples who want their wedding day to feel like a dinner party with their favourite people.
not to brag or anything, but my specialty is helping people feel hella comfortable in front of the camera and making the experience a really freakin fun time - I’ve spent 10+ years working on this talent of mine and I’m not gonna lie. I’m pretty great at it. so basically, when I shoot a wedding, I make sure it’s the noicest and toitest of nups (I also make a lot of brooklyn nine nine references so watch out for that).
want to know whether we’d be a great fit on your wedding day? come find more out about me here or come say hello on instagram!

WHAT I SHOOT
weddings + elopements.
if you’re planning an intimate wedding and care more about memories and people than details, I’m 100% here for that. we’re pretty much already best friends (especially if you love fries - I mean, that really seals the deal). I have a few different packages for my couples, so head on over to my info page to find out more!
couples sessions.
if you are a couple in love who cares a lot about documenting seasons of your lives that is cool cool cool cool cool coz I’m all about that. if you wanna celebrate your anniversary or engagement or valentines day with an adventure up a mountain or by exploring a new city or going on a roadtrip, I AM HERE FOR YOU.
I want to help you create images that take you right back to that moment. photos that make you smile real big.
I want to work together to tell your story. in your way.
also, I wanna have BUNCHES of fun with you.
KIND WORDS

“Jess is so much more than our photographer, she felt like a really close friend!!! We felt so comfortable around her and I loved that she danced with the bridal party as we got ready. She’s easy going, proactive, loves a good joke (absolute must) and from the moment you approach her she is super organised and efficient. Oh and our wedding photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE. I still stare at them every day in awe of her art and her talent and buzzing out that it is us in those shots! ”

“Taking pictures with Jess is like hanging out with your best friend—it was honestly the most fun I have ever had taking pictures! She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She took time to learn our stories and ask intentional questions (over some fries obviously). We felt seen, known, and she captured our love so authentically. Her work is STUNNING and I will treasure the photos she took forever. so grateful to have worked with her!”
