Hello, I’m Jodie it’s great to meet you!
About Me
Hi! I’m Jodie (She/Her), a Professional Personal Brand, Portrait and Wedding Photographer in Manchester. I’ve been photographing creatives, couples and small businesses professionally since 2019. As well as working as a photographer, I also have over 10 years of experience working as a Photographic Stylist, so not only do I have the technical camera skills, I have an artistic eye for styling - so I ensure my clients always look and feel their best on their photoshoot!
When I don’t have a camera in my hands, I’m either out in nature or by the sea with my partner or friends, hanging out with my rescue cat Dorothy or searching for vintage finds in second-hand and vintage shops!
My Approach and Style
My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, my priority is to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout your personal brand photoshoot, portrait session or wedding whilst taking a mixture of candid, posed and documentary-style photographs. My style is a mix of editorial and artistic, with a nostalgic feel and look.
Personal Branding, Portrait and Wedding Photography Services
I offer professional Personal Branding, Portrait photography & Wedding Photography services in Manchester and across the UK. I believe that even the most camera-shy people can look good and feel great in front of the camera! I offer packages to suit your requirements for your business or wedding day, and I’m happy to tailor my photography services to you.
Why Choose Me?
I don't want you to see me as just your ‘photographer’. I want you to see me as your cheerleader and friend. I’m always here to answer questions and give you tips so you’ll have the best time ever on your photoshoot. I’ll be with you every step of the way to offer advice and tips on how to prepare for your photoshoot or feel your best for your special day!

A photographer that is inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community, all are welcome here.
A safe, fun and welcoming space to be yourself without fear of judgement.
