About

Hello! I'm AJay!
She/Her

First of all - Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. This is a safe space where absolutely EVERYBODY is welcome!

Hello! I'm your friendly neighbourhood neurodivergent wedding photographer and I would LOVE to chat about your wedding!

If you'd care to know how the person that may be intimately following you around on the biggest day of your life got into weddings in the first place, I'd tell you that I photographed my first wedding in 2009 when my Aunt and Uncle were given special permission to marry at short notice due to his terminal illness. Since then I have been dedicated to immortalising the truly unmissable moments of people's lives. And BOY OH BOY does it being me tonnes of joy!

If credentials are important to you, I have had the honour of earning a spot as a Regional Finalist in The Wedding Business Awards 2020, and a Regional Finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards 2022, as well as a few Bronze awards from the Guild of Professional Photographers (of which I am a fully fledged member). I now have over ten years of experience, education and professional training in film and documentary photography and just can't get enough of people watching and messing about with cameras! (So becoming a wedding photographer just made sense didn't it?!)

I am happiest when I'm shooting a wedding or cuddling my gorgeous rabbits, Daryl & Dolly - that's them there stealing the spotlight in that photo above from my own wedding day! My husband Carl just happen to be in the photo too...

My favourite venues include (but are certainly not limited to...) Pendrell Hall, Mill Barns, Foxtail Barns, Ashes Barn, Mythe Barn, Lightwoods House, The Hundred House, Bordesley Park, Edgbaston Park Hotel, The Old Rectory house, himley Hall, Hawkestone Hall, The Old Library and the West Midlands Safari Park! There's so many more venues I would love to tick off my bucket list, so get in touch to find out if yours is one of them! (Cheeky discounts ARE available for bucket list weddings...)

I've been obsessed with weddings ever since I was knee height and begging my mom to make me my very own veil; I truly love chatting all things wedding related, and aspire to be your new wedding bestie! So please DO get in touch and tell me all about your exciting plans and ideas!

Book AJay now! 🤍

Wow, where to start? We searched through loads of photographers before coming across AJay’s photos on our planning website, and straight away we knew she was for us. Her relaxed, natural style whilst also making it fun was exactly what we wanted. We’ve never been professionally photographed before but AJay made us feel massively at ease, helped us through and actually encouraged us with our fits of giggles we inevitably had.

On our wedding, AJay was punctual, professional and calm; which definitely helped with all of the pre-wedding jitters. AJay even did some running around for me (bride) and was literally my lifesaver that morning and words can’t describe how grateful I was for that. She captured all of the candid and beautiful moments that we’ll endlessly treasure. AJay really captured the essence of our relationship (all 10 years of it!) in some of her snaps and they are literally so perfect. She kept all of our family in line when taking the group pictures, and even managed to squeeze in some extra pictures that we’d initially forgot to add to our list. For those who are anxious about pictures, don’t be! Half the time we barely noticed that pictures were being taken of us which made them seem so natural.

AJay is so patient and massively easy to get a long with. She’s the perfect match for basically anyone, and adapts to suit the needs of whoever she works with. We’d recommend AJay to anyone who asked and if we ever want or need a professional photographer again, she’ll be our first choice! :)

Incredible photos, beautiful human

Within minutes of meeting Ajay, I knew she was the photographer for me. She instantly put me at ease with her calm, confident presence.

On the day, she was an absolute icon. She blended effortlessly into the background, capturing the most beautiful candid moments, then appeared at just the right times to make small adjustments that created breathtaking shots.

Ajay strikes the perfect balance between guiding you and giving you space to be yourself. Her intuition and creativity take your ideas and turn them into something truly special. She has an incredible aura, a brilliant sense of humour, and a way of making everyone feel completely comfortable.

Your wedding day is one of the most intimate days of your life, and Ajay felt like family. She delivered beyond expectations and left us with stunning photos and a lasting impression.

For my neurodivergent friends, Ajay is wonderfully sensitive and accommodating. No quirk is too quirky, and she captures the beauty in what makes you unique.

Blue Jay Photography is more than photography; it’s feeling seen, safe and celebrated.

Beautiful but affordable wedding photos

Ajay was absolutely amazing! We genuinely can't recommend her highly enough, the photos from our wedding day are beautiful with some really special natural moments captured that we will cherish forever.
We had the Songbird package and my only regret is we didn't have her there for longer. Ajay was so friendly and professional and as 2 people who don't really enjoy having our picture taken she made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the get go which resulted in the most gorgeous photos. Several of our guests commented on how lovely she was, she organised everyone and got the group pictures that we requested and the photos didn't disappoint. If your looking for beautiful photos that don't cost you the earth and someone who will just get the job done in the most perfect way Ajay is the person for you.

Amazing Wedding Photographer

Ajay was amazing from the moment of contact until after the wedding and the pictures were completed so quickly!

On the day she put everyone at ease when she arrived and joined in with all the laughs and this led to some amazing natural and gorgeous staged photos. Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop saying how lovely she was.

We wanted pictures of ourselves and our guests enjoying themselves as well as some posed photos and that's exactly what we got.

Ajay is very passionate about what she does and is a very talented photographer.

The best investment when it came to my wedding

Where do I start?

From the very first interaction online, I just knew A-Jay was going to be our photographer. Her candid shots had this magic about them—exactly what we dreamed of for our wedding. Then we met her in person at a wedding fayre, and that sealed it. Her vibe clicked instantly. It didn’t feel like we were booking a photographer; it felt like we’d found a best friend to capture our day.

On the wedding morning, A-Jay turned up bright and early ,camera in hand, huge smile on her face and immediately jumped in to help. She helped my mum get my dress out of its bag, arranged my veil so the creases would drop, then whisked away my shoes and rings for the most gorgeous detail shots.

Throughout the day, she was everywhere and nowhere all at once always in the thick of it, yet somehow invisible.

She was endlessly patient with us, even though I’ve always been known as the family jokester. From my little antics to our last-second decision to do a dip during a walk about shoot . Which prompted A-Jay to exclaim “You’ve gotta warn a girl if you’re gonna do that!”, she caught it all.

Guests even said, “I can hear the photographer… but I can’t see her!”

And it wasn’t just us every single guest was captured beautifully. From joyful hugs to quiet smiles, from heartfelt reactions to those blink-and-you-miss-it moments of chaos.

A-Jay captured the soul of the day effortlessly making it feel like we had booked a close friend to capture our wedding day .

When we got our album back, it was like stepping right back into our wedding. Every laugh, every tear, every little “that’s so us” moment was there forever frozen in the most beautiful way.

Perfect ☆♡

Ajay was everything we could've hoped for and more! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxed and stress free wedding. As someone who was dreading having to have their photo taken, I felt so at ease which was exactly what we needed during such a special day. Ajay was nothing short of perfect! Our photos were beautiful, and everything we had dreamed of. The day was captured perfectly ♡

Steph and Steve 16/03/25

We would highly recommend AJay to anyone. She was very thorough in everything. We're not ones to be posey for photos and she took a lot of natural ones of us. She included all the guests we asked for, for our group photos. She covered the whole day and it was lovely too see photos of all the guests. She is very creative with her photos as well capturing our wedding flowers beautifuly. She made us feel at ease and relaxed and was happy for anything we wanted to do but also gave us some direction for wedding photo ideas. We had the best day ever and will forever remember our day. Thank you AJay 😊

Absolutely Blown Away!!

We searched and searched for a photographer via other recommendations and online for a while and none really took our fancy, before we came across Blue Jay and new instantly she was the one we wanted to capture our special day and we booked a package straight away but then decided to upgrade.
It was the best decision we made going with Ajay, she was amazing from start to finish and cannot recommend Ajay enough.
Having had Ajay photograph us on our wedding day I can honestly say we were not disappointed, the photos are absolutely amazing and blew our expectations, especially at such a great price, she really is amazing.
We absolutely love all the photos Ajay did and were captured so beautiful.
We had a great and fun experience having our photos done and Ajay made us feel so comfortable and at ease and most of the time we didn't feel like we have a photographer there half of the time!
All the family and friends commented on how lovely Ajay was and how she made everyone feel so comfortable.
All of our photos were amazing quality and could see the creativeness behind each one which Ajay captured our day so beautifully and naturally.
If you are looking for a fun, easy going yet professional photographer Ajay is the one, you will not be disappointed.
Ajay thank you for capturing our special day and making the pictures so magical.
We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer.

Chris & Tori's April Wedding Blessing

We first reached out to AJay around a year and a half ago when we first got engaged. She was friendly and informative and immediately made me feel comfortable talking to her. After looking through her work on her website and Instagram page and finding beautiful examples, we decided to book her. We were able to get a specialised plan that was tailored to us, meaning we didn't have to compromise on missing parts of the day. The process was quick and easy as AJay's communication was fantastic.
We booked an engagement shoot with AJay a year before our wedding and had a fantastic experience. She suggested a beautiful location that was linked with Lord of the Rings, which she knew was an interest of ours through our previous conversations. I was nervous for the experience but she was calm and encouraging, offering gentle suggestions of poses and we soon began to enjoy ourselves. She even climbed into a stream for a good shot - definitely going the extra mile! She produced a beautiful gallery of photos for us with a really quick turn around. It gave us even more confidence that she was the perfect choice for our wedding day.
On the wedding day, AJay already felt like a friend. It felt like she took a real interest in our wedding day, us as a couple, and what we wanted from our day. She contacted us beforehand about photo lists and helped me work through logistics. She was more than happy to add additional group photos on the day and was not shy when it came to getting people involved. She checked in with us throughout our bride and groom to make sure that we were happy and comfortable to continue. She has an amazing eye for framing the images and the areas she chose were stunning. She let us be our natural selves with the occasional suggestion for poses. She worked extremely well with our videographer with many people commenting that they thought they were from the same company, due to their great teamwork.
AJay posted some sneak peeks on her Instagram following the day which kept us excited and eager to see the results. We received our gallery within the 6 weeks and were blown away by them. The images are beautiful - the perfect mix of us, our guests and the decor details. There are many shots that I didn't realise were being taken, which is a testament to how well AJay can do her job without making you feel on the spot. She has captured the day beautifully and we can really see the love of the day. It was like reliving it all over again. She has produced beautiful images (even though I'm sure we made it difficult by laughing through at least 80% of the process) which we will be proud to hang on the wall.
A friend of mine has already been convinced to book her based on her work at our wedding! If you are looking for a photographer who is a calming influence, a genuinely sweet and lovely person, who will deliver fabulous photos, I would definitely recommend Blue Jay Photography. We were so glad to have you there to capture our day! We cannot thank you enough!

Amazing!!!

AJay was amazing! Really good value for money. She was so attentive the whole day making sure to get the group shots but also the little detail shots of my shoes and the rings etc... She also made sure to get relaxed photos of people just enjoying the day. She was so lovely and made you feel comfortable.

Fantastic photos by a lovely young lady

My husband & I got married in Santorini in 2020. A-Jay (Alex) was a guest at our wedding. The photos she took on the night were incredible. Capturing the most intimate moments for us to cherish forever. We never noticed her taking as many photos so were surprised when we got to see the amazing outcome. We would highly recommend A-Jay as she is professional, very talented and just an all round lovely lady.

What a wonderful young woman!

I am not always the most confident with pictures (and my other half definitely isn't) and she made use feel so comfortable on (our very low budget) wedding day! The pictures she produced couldn't have been better! She really doesn't off our unique styles and made us feel so beautiful!

As soon as I met Ajay I knew I made the right decision.

"I initially did not want a photographer due to being so self conscious. A family friend told me that I would regret it so I caved. As soon as I met Ajay I knew I made the right decision. She is so professional and is incredibly talented. I viewed my photos today and they are better than what I could of imagined. Thank you so much Ajay."
