Finding your perfect North East Wedding photographer to capture your unforgettable moments for your big day can be such a hard task. But here we love photographing your perfect love story as you envision it and in a light and airy style.

My Style.

Bright - Airy - Timeless

Transform your moments into life long memories! I love bright, natural, candid shots of yous being ‘goofy’ with each other, have fun and allow me to capture you in the act! BUT I normally do ask for two 20 minute sessions throughout the day to get your couple shots where I can give you the guidance to get the best possible outcome from it where your images are true to you and show such emotion and story telling.

My Job.

My Job is to make you comfortable in front of the lens to capture genuine moments and emotions. When you're at ease, your natural expressions and personality shine through, creating more authentic and memorable moments.

If you like fun, enthusiastic and someone that’s extremely passionate about ensuring you get the best from your day, then pour the pints, i’m your man!

Memories We'll Treasure Forever

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Jay.

From our first meetings, he took the time to get to know us, understand our personalities and explain how he works. Neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Jay immediately put us at ease and made the whole experience feel natural and relaxed.

On the wedding day, he was absolutely fantastic. He has such a great personality and brought so much positive energy to the day. He got on brilliantly with our guests, creating lots of laughter and helping everyone feel comfortable, which really shows in the photos. He was also incredibly organised, offering helpful advice on the timeline beforehand and making sure everything ran smoothly on the day so we could get the best possible shots without ever feeling rushed.

The photographs themselves are simply stunning. Every single person who has seen them has commented on how beautiful they are. Jay captured not only us but our family and friends perfectly, along with all the little details and special moments that made the day so memorable. We especially love the natural, candid shots, as well as the beautiful portraits of just the two of us.

I had a list of a few specific photos and moments I wanted to capture, and Jay was more than happy to make sure we got every one of them. He also knew exactly the best times to step away for couples' photos, making the most of the lighting while fitting seamlessly into the flow of the day.

We've received our online gallery, and choosing favourites for our wedding album is proving almost impossible because there are so many incredible photos! Every image tells part of the story of our day, and we're so excited to see the finished album.

Jay is an incredibly talented photographer, but beyond that, he's such a lovely person to have around. We're so grateful for everything he's done for us and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any couple looking for someone who will capture their wedding beautifully while making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Jay!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
