Why choose me as your wedding photographer?

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life which is why I pride myself on creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, to ensure you have the best day possible!

I shoot in a candid, documentary style, capturing all the important moments and the small details in between! If you’re feeling unsure or nervous about having your photo taken, trust that I’ve got you! I’m happy to give advice and prompts on how to pose before your big day and on the day of your wedding without it feeling cheesy or forced!

​Photographing two people in love is one of my favourite things. I fill up with tears of joy when I hear you reading your vows and see the little looks of pure love between a couple on their wedding day. I'm completely in love with the feeling of documenting a whole wedding day to delivering your gallery after your special day!

Being a part of so many people's special days is such a wonderful job and I feel so grateful and honoured for every wedding I get to be a part of.

“We asked Jodie to take some natural shots of our guests and us for our wedding, and she didn't disappoint. She blended in with the guests hardly noticeable which gave her the opportunity to capture people as they enjoyed the day. From the start her communication was great, answering any questions we had, and really listened to our needs for the day. I would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer.”
