About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2019

Last update: April 2025

I'm Jan, a wedding photographer based in Liverpool.

Having been in the industry now for over 18 years, I have recently moved back to my hometown of Liverpool after living in the South West for several years.

Over the years I've been a Licentiate of the Master Photographers Association, the BIPP and the Guild of Photographers - and for the last two years I've won the Hitched Wedding Award too.

Services Offered

I like to think my style is relaxed and documentary - I strive to catch those photos that you don't know I'm taking, and to be your 'eyes' for the day so you can look back and remember those special moments - and also see the moments you might have missed.

My packages cover every situation from the Micro Wedding (up to 2 hours covering just the ceremony and photos of you both and your families after) to Full Day starting with preparations right up to your First Dance - with shorter packages in between.

I can accomodate most couples requirements though so if you look at the packages on my website and think "Hmmm... we need something slightly different" - just ask me ! We can work on a bespoke package just for you.

Fabulous photographer

Janet done our wedding on the 5th April 2025. She was amazing from the first conversation we had with her. She put us at ease straight away and was so helpful with what we wanted. On the day she arrived early and helped hide me from our guests as direct them into the venue as the wedding in front of us was running behind. She made everyone feel at ease and spoke to everyone as if they were all important as well. The pictures speak volumes they are amazing. And that all down to her amazing talent and personality. Janet you will always have a special place in our hearts and we thank you from the bottom of them. You truly are a very special lady with a massive heart ❤️.

Cannot recommend highly enough, this is the photographer you need

Jan is the most wonderful person and perfectly professional photographer who we would recommend in a heartbeat. If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing, how to get the best for you from your day, with the least disruption, but will make the experience so much fun, this is who you want and need. Our photos are perfect, we have the group and family photos we all want and need and then Jan takes photos of the day that you miss, but shows your day at its best. No words can describe our personal thanks to Jan for capturing our day for us to remember and smile at, even laugh at for the rest of our happily married lives. Thank you x

Amazing lady, and exceptional photos.

Janet came highly recommended to me by an old school friend. And boy was I NOT disappointed. Friendly, funny, down to earth, got the photos to the last very detail you could think off. Janet blended in well on the day, forgot she was there at times, the photos were of exceptional standard, she captured everything about the day, the photos were natural, beautiful, definitely recommend the black and white, I would definitely recommend Janet, she is so lovely and is very professional and really knows her photography. Het booking. You will not be disappointed. The before during and after care meetings were so good and fun. Janet Really listened to what you want and made sure you were happy with the results. Cant thank you enough Jan.

absolutely incredible ❤️

Janet I have no words for what you did for me and Owen on our wedding day.
You’re the most incredible photographer ever. You captured every single little detail of our wedding things I would’ve missed.
You made me and Owen feel so at ease and the pictures that come of that proves it.
If I could re marry Owen again and have you do our photos I would. You’ve got such a talent for wedding photography.
The smallest little details you never fail to miss.
I’m sat here crying through the photos you took of us and it’s like I’m re living the day all over again which is exactly what I asked for.
Once again I can’t thankyou enough. Courtney and Owen ❤️

The perfect photographer for our day

We are so happy Janet was recommended to us! Amazing photographer and a great laugh as well! The photos we got back were amazing and we could not be happier! Perfect pictures we requested as formal ones and the natural ones were even better! During the speeches or ceremony she was like a ninja and we didnt even see her taking pics at all! We cannot recommend her enough and if you choose her you wont be dissappointed!

Would absolutely recommend

Jan photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! We wanted more documentary style along with some posed and the photos didn’t disappoint. Jan was really approached from the start, always quick to get back with any info and advice. Communication was top tier. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding!

Incredible!!

My and my new husband are so incredibly happy with the quality and quantity of our wedding photos! Jan was honestly amazing throughout the day with arranging photos, ensuring she was able to capture many happy memories for us to look back on, but also making sure we were still enjoying our day and not constantly posing for photos!
We are just in the process of deciding what photos we want for our photo album and again Jan is being incredibly helpful in how best to design it etc!
We also opted to add on the videographer to Jans package, and the same can be said for Adrian! Both of them work together as a dream team, and we are both so happy with the final product that we have! High recommend both Jan and Adrian!

If I could give more than 5 starts I would.

Booking Janet as our photographer was the best choice we made. From meeting her and discussing our day and emailing back and forth she was so professional and so passionate. On the day of our wedding Janet put us at ease as we are not very good comfortable in front of cameras. She really captured our day and the photos we have received back are a million times better than we expected and all so natural. We will cherish our photos forever. Thank you so much Janet 💓

Couldn’t be happier!

It didn’t take more than a second to know that Jan was the photographer for us, just look at her work on her website! We, of course, had the obligatory posed photos to appease the Mum’s, but Jan’s skill lies in the documentary style that we wanted for our later in life casual wedding. She has honestly captured personalities and treasured moments that would never have come across with a more traditional approach. She worked like a little worker bee to produce pictures that captured the look and feel we were going for. Filter out the ones with the extra chins and me looking like I’m chewing a toffee, and this woman has made us and our guests look beautiful. She’s really nice, too! Thanks, Jan. You were a star 😄x

Would recommend to anybody ❤️

Wow what can we say… a massive THANK YOU to Jan for capturing our day. She made us feel so at ease from the moment we met her. For us, taking pictures is an awkward time but Jan settled our nerves and allowed us to capture the most natural and beautiful photos of our day. We had our wedding photos back so quickly - Thank you so so much! Would recommend to anybody 😊
