About

Natural, relaxed photography that tells your story.

At Natasha Jay Photography, I capture weddings just as they unfold — full of emotion, joy, and the little moments you might miss in the blur of the day. I work in a quiet, thoughtful way, blending in with your guests and allowing you to enjoy every second without feeling like you're on a photoshoot.

I specialise in natural, documentary-style wedding photography across Hampshire and beyond, creating images that reflect your real connection, the people you love, and the atmosphere of the day. From emotional hugs during morning prep to belly laughs during speeches and wild dancefloor antics, I’m there for it all.

I know that most people feel a bit awkward in front of the camera (me included!), so I keep things simple, gentle, and fun. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just honest storytelling, with a few relaxed group shots along the way.

Whether you’re planning a countryside celebration, a city wedding with character, or something totally your own, I’d love to hear all about it. Let’s create something real and meaningful, together.

The perfect photographer exists!!

We couldn't recommend Natasha more.

As someone who doesn't necessarily feel too comfortable in front of a camera, Natasha made us and all of our guests feel really relaxed.

For the formal photos, she made it really fun and kept all of the guests in order! As for the photos of the day: she had a real ability to capture every single important moment without interrupting or making it feel like a photoshoot.

The results absolutely speak for themselves. We are left now with a selection of gorgeous and real photos that bring back all of the memories of our day. We couldn't be happier with them!

Also, she's just a really lovely and kind person. The exact person you want to be there on the day.

Simply Amazing!

We truly cannot recommend Natasha Jay enough! From the very first meeting, she put us completely at ease. The pre-wedding sessions were not only incredibly helpful in getting us comfortable in front of the camera, but they also gave us a chance to get to know her and understand her relaxed, professional approach.

On the big day, she arrived with the biggest smile — and it never left her face. Her energy was infectious, and she brought such a calming, joyful presence to the entire event. She knew exactly how to interact with our guests, making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Nothing ever felt staged or forced — just beautifully captured moments.

We were absolutely blown away by the preview pictures — they’re stunning — and now we’re counting down the days until we can see the full gallery. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented behind the lens but also an absolute dream to have with you on your wedding day, look no further!

Everything we asked for and more!

Tash was amazing! Having lots of the wedding party preferring not to be in front of the camera and a very wet and rainy day I expected my wedding pictures to be hard but Tash captured everything I had hoped for and more. When I looked through our album (that we received early!) it was like I was completely reliving the day. I will cherish these photos forever and I was so glad that Tash was part of our day! I would 100% recommend Tash to anyone that wants beautiful and natural wedding photos!

Couldn't be happier

I really can't rave enough about how amazing Tash and Will were.
Neither of us are particularly comfortable infront of the camera but they both made us feel completely at ease. They didn't push us too far and joined in with the giggles!
They weren't overpowering on the day, got the job done but were such a pleasure to have with us. Tash in particular, as I pretty much adopted her as 6th bridesmaid because she was the only one that could find my bustle loop!
We're over the moon with our preview photos and cannot wait to see the rest!

Natasha (and Will, her second photographer) were absolutely amazing! The photos were one of the most important things to me when arranging our wedding, after all they're all your left with! I'd definitely choose her again, our photos are stunning and she captured the atmosphere perfectly! Can't recommend highly enough!

We were truly over the moon with the service and photography provided by Natasha. A lovely person who will take the best care for you from start to end. She made us feel really comfortable and on the day we hardly even knew she was there. You will not be disappointed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
