About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2023

Last update: June 2025

Hi, I’m Jacque – your wedding day’s calm in the chaos, personal cheerleader, and quiet moment-catcher.

I believe the best photos happen when you forget the camera is even there. That breath before you say "I do." Your nan holding back tears during the vows. Your mates laughing so hard their drink comes out their nose. That’s the magic I live for.

As a single mum and storyteller behind the lens, I know how important it is to make things meaningful—and manageable. Weddings can be emotional, wild, even a bit overwhelming. My job is to gently guide you through, with patience, humour, and an eye for those fleeting moments that mean everything later.

Couples say I bring a calming energy to their day, like having a friend with a camera who just gets it. Whether it’s a quiet civil ceremony or a full-day celebration, I work unobtrusively, documenting the day as it naturally unfolds—with care, humour, and heart.

I'm not about stiff poses or chasing perfection. I'm about capturing the real stuff—the glances, the belly-laughs, the little details that tell your story.

So if you're after photos that feel natural, nostalgic, and full of soul... I'm your person.

Let’s create something honest and beautiful together—photos that feel like you.

Jacque was absolutely amazing

We were looking for a photographer for our small, last minute, intimate wedding and we were recommended Jacque from a previous couple.

Even with only a few weeks notice, Jacque went above and beyond to ensure that she was able to help us in every way possible. She explained everything in detail from start to finish and made sure that all 3 of us were on the same page from the very first discussion. She took the time to have a phone call with us (due to distance) to discuss expectations and we were over the moon with the photos and effort put into photographing our special day

We cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done and we would highly recommend you to everyone!

Outstanding

Jacque was great from our initial phone call. She asked questions about us and our venue that other photographers we had spoken hadn't even mentioned.
She is very professional and flexible with any changes. She took the stress of this part of getting married off of our shoulders.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
