About Me

Hey there, I'm Jacqui, an Irish Girl living by the seaside in Brighton. The big loves in my life are traveling, music, photography, my friends, my family and my funny, handsome husband Andy. My Style is documentary in its roots but very much with an artistic side.

Capturing what's real is my passion. Using the environment and the light to create beautiful portraits of you two is the icing on the cake to all that. I do this job because I adore capturing people as they really are, recording amazing moments in peoples lives.

I have photographed this amazing day for over 850 couples, I still think that's insane! My clients tell me I make them laugh and feel super comfortable on the day and most of my work comes from them referring me to their families and friends.

We were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by our wedding photos! I cried my happy little eyes out looking through them! The quality is outstanding and far surpassed our high expectations. Every, single image is beautiful, flawless and perfectly captures the uniqueness of our day. Jacqui has a way of capturing those perfect little moments, a quick glance, a silly joke, that if you blinked, you’d miss. She was the perfect wedding photographer; calm, reassuring and great fun, but entirely professional. I would have absolutely no hesitation in saying you need this woman at your wedding!

I want you to feel like this when you see your wedding photos. I am super excited to hear from you, so let’s chat and let’s get your wedding date on my calendar before someone else books me and snags your wedding date!

Getting to know you ...

We start off a bit shy but by the end of this year or next there’s a good chance I’ll have seen some of you in your pants! That’s the getting ready bit of the day, don’t be scared!! I’ll have met your best mates and had lovely chats with your families. I’ll have seen that one mate go insane on the dance floor and get drunk before everyone else ( you already know what friend that is). I’ll be there for huge moments in your life that will happen all in one day. We may even hug each other for dear life as I say goodbye and I might photograph your babies later on should that be your path. It’s crazy isn’t it!!! So much happens after that initial email, blows my mind really.
