Beyond Perfect – The Best Wedding Photographer!

Jake and his team were so friendly and professional from the start. We had our pre-wedding shoot in Knaresborough, which was such a great experience—not only did we get to know each other better, but the photos were already incredible!

On our wedding day, Jake was super prepared and so supportive. The photos we got weren’t just standard wedding shots—they had real personality and emotion. Our family (and us!) are still going through them, reliving every happy moment.

You can really see Jake’s passion for what he does, and we’re so glad we chose him!

Beautiful photos

We booked Jake after browsing photographers websites due to the style of the photos he takes. We wanted a mix of posed photos and natural photos. We have ended up with some beautiful photos both from the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding. Jake was easy to get on with and also made us feel as comfortable as we could do in front of a camera as both me and my husband are quite awkward in front of a camera. We are really happy with the service we received and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing

We got married in October and we booked Swiftly Creative to be our photographer. He was brilliant. It was one of the things I was worried about as I can be a bit camera shy if I don't vibe with the person taking the photos, so one of the factors for deciding to chose him, along with a georgous portfolio, was that he included a pre-wedding shoot. He was brilliant at making us feel at ease in front of the camera and the photos we got back from that were beautiful. He was great on the day as well, arriving in great time to take getting ready photos before heading over to the venue. He was amazing the whole day and kept things moving well, along with a very impressive whistle for getting everyone's attention for the big group photo and pulling us out for wonderful sunset shots. The photos we got back from the day are beautiful and really well done. We love all of them, along with the physical album we just received. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much for helping us remember such a wonderful day.

If you want to see what joy, chaos and passion look like in film, book Jake!

I can’t thank Jake at Swiftly Creative enough being the videographer on our wedding day. I really love his natural approach to capturing the day how it was, we weren’t posed and positioned all day but had enough guidance to get some fun and quality shots. Jake also interviewed members of our family to get a real personal feel to our video, which is something unique we will treasure forever.
His fun and friendly personality was what attracted us to his work when we met at the Sheffield Wedding Fayre, and all our footage lives up to that first impression.

Perfect wedding day photographer

Swiftly Creative made our wedding day photography experience so incredibly special! They made our friends and family feel so comfortable and worked tirelessly all day to capture special moments. We especially loved going to the Peak District for some countryside photos. Both the formal portraits and candid shots were equally gorgeous and we love looking through the album of our wedding day. We would highly recommend Jake at Swiftly Creative to others getting married - thank you so much!

Jake recently did our videography for our wedding in August and we are so happy we chose him as our supplier. Everything was straight forward and professional from my initial enquiry to receiving our video today which we are over the moon with! Jake is a great guy and made everything very laid back and easy on our special day. I would definitely recommend his services. Thanks again Jake!

Calming friendly photographer

Jake and team was amazing it our wedding. They slot in to our day and would match any vibe of that moment. He found an amazing park near our venue to take fantastic photographs that was edited and sent to us very quickly. The team looked after us both and instructed our wedding team well. I am so happy with our photographs and experience from this team. Highly recommend, Thankyou!

We can not recommend Swiftly Creative more. Jake truly listened to what we wanted, our likes and dislikes and gave us some beautiful memories captured in photos.
