I’m Jacs.
Nice to
meet you.
I came to wedding photography the long way. A very serious relationship with a Spice Girls Polaroid at nine, a borrowed SLR at eleven, years in university darkrooms, and eventually a deep, lasting love for the texture and grain of 35mm film.
Nearly seven years of weddings later, the thing that drew me in hasn’t changed: I’m still completely delighted by what a camera can hold, and I haven’t tired of it once.
I’m based in Tunbridge Wells and work across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, London, and wherever the story takes me. Country houses, intimate gatherings, destination celebrations. I’m drawn to weddings with atmosphere: old rooms and good light, flowers with shape, tables that feel considered, and people who understand that the details matter because of how they make everyone feel.
Not for perfection. For texture, intention, and the particular energy of a day that could only belong to you.
I work with light: natural, flash, and film alongside digital. A former emo with a documentary instinct, an editorial eye, and a weakness for the moment just before everyone falls apart laughing.
Serious about the photographs. Less serious about almost everything else.
My approach is calm, quiet, and unhurried. I’m there to read the room, follow the energy, and notice what matters without turning your wedding into a production. You won’t spend your wedding day performing for a camera. You’ll live it. I’ll notice it.
Editorial,
but with
a pulse.
I’ll guide when it helps: a portrait when the light drops just right, a small adjustment so the dress falls beautifully, a quiet moment before the room fills.
But I’m just as interested in what happens after the composed photograph: the laugh, the shoulder drop, the hand reaching for another, the frame where everyone suddenly becomes themselves again.
A pre-wedding consultation is included as standard, giving us time to talk through the shape of the day and what matters most to you. Beyond that, there’s the option to add an engagement session, less about posing for the sake of it, more about finding ease in front of the camera before the wedding day arrives.
And after: a private gallery delivered with care, with fine art prints and bespoke albums available to those who want them. Full details of what’s included in each collection are shared upon enquiry.
I’m a voracious reader: physical books and audio in equal measure. I play songs to death until I can’t possibly listen to them anymore, though Crystal by Fleetwood Mac, The Wind by Yusef Islam, and Something Beautiful by Jacob Banks are the only three I’ll never tire of. The last one was my own first dance.
I have more hobbies than hours: horse riding, running, weightlifting, crocheting, sewing, and gardening with particular devotion to my David Austin Ancient Mariner roses.
I have a huge family, around 35 first cousins at last count, and I love meeting new people. I’m naturally quite nosy, in the most polite way. It is, I suspect, part of what makes me good at this.
My favourite place in the world is Florence and the hills just outside it: the history, the architecture, and the wine. I drink Chapel Down Bacchus or Ridgeview Bloomsbury NV, always in thin glasses. My weakness is a warm M&S cookie and a Diet Pepsi, which tells you that I contain multitudes.
I’m a mother to two children. They’ve redefined my world both personally and professionally. More than ever, I understand how quickly a moment becomes memory, and how much weight a photograph can hold when the years start moving. That understanding is in every wedding I photograph.
If any of this resonates, and especially if you have strong opinions about wine glasses, I think we’ll get on very well.
