Jo was absolutely fantastic, my husband and I were so glad we chose Jo. We had two meetings with her before the wedding both of which lasted a few hours and we really got to know her well as well as the way she works. Our wedding photos are amazing, we love them so much! Worth every penny and we feel we got so much for what we paid. Also she was one of the friendliest and outgoing photographers that we had met! We would definitely recommend Jo!
