A little about me…

Hello I’m Jamie!

A Shropshire wedding photographer with a big heart, and above all, a very proud dad.

Being a proud girl dad is the most important role I’ll ever have. My world revolves around my little team. My youngest still calls me “Daddy”, which melts my heart every single time, and my brilliant bonus daughter calls me “Big Fella” (a nickname that somehow stuck). Alongside my incredible partner, they’re the reason everything else in life makes sense.

They’re also the reason I see moments the way I do.

The laughter, the cuddles, the slightly chaotic everyday moments, they’re constant reminders that the things we treasure most are usually the simple ones.

Photography came from that same place.

I was born and raised in the Shropshire countryside and have spent most of my life exploring it. From rolling hills to quiet woodland paths and hidden little corners you might never notice, it’s a place I feel incredibly lucky to call home and somewhere I love photographing just as much as weddings themselves.

When I photograph a wedding, I’m not chasing stiff poses or forced smiles. I’m looking for the real stuff. The genuine laughs, the proud parents, the quick glances, the hugs that last a little longer than expected.

Those are the moments that matter.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me spending time with my girls, out exploring the countryside, or watching Formula 1 and convincing myself I’d make better strategy calls than the teams.

Because in the end, life is made up of moments.

The big ones, the small ones, and everything in between.

And those are the ones worth remembering.

My photography journey started back in 2012, and really took off in 2015 when I began my career as a photographer working for the local newspaper. It meant chasing stories, capturing moments as they happened, and learning how to really see people, which was probably the most important lesson of all.

It also taught me how to think on my feet, because when a moment happens, you only get one chance to capture it.

In 2019, I took the leap and launched my own photography business, which was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Then in 2025, I went fully self employed and never looked back.

Since then, I’ve had the honour of capturing love stories in every season, in all kinds of weather, and in some incredible places.

Whether it’s a countryside wedding, a wild confetti toss, or a quiet tear in the middle of the dance floor, I’m always looking for the genuine, unscripted moments.

You know the ones.
The moments you might not even notice happening at the time, but when you look back at the photos years later, you feel everything all over again.

As a person, I’m a bit of a mix of energetic, a little quirky, definitely sentimental, and someone who throws a lot of love and care into everything I do. I care deeply: about your story, your people, and making sure your experience with me is fun, relaxed, and unforgettable.

So if you’re looking for a Photographer who’s not just there to snap photos, but to really see you and tell your story with warmth, heart, and a few laughs along the way - we may just be the perfect fit.
