Photos by Jess Rose

I take modern/documentary style wedding photos, meaning unposed, with no pretences. I work with Feminist and LGBTQ+ couples of all kinds, across London, the UK and beyond.

When we planned our lesbian wedding in 2021 it was really important to us to not only find ‘LGBT friendly’ suppliers but also to support queer-owned businesses too. We found that when you start searching for ‘gay friendly’ wedding venues, or ‘lesbian wedding photographers’, endless pages popped up from businesses who promised that they were queer friendly (cool, the bare minimum), but we struggled to find a list of businesses who were not just queer friendly, but queer owned too. Weddings are expensive, I know, and for us it mattered that some of the money we spent on this important milestone went to LGBTQ+ owned businesses. Gay, lesbian and trans wedding businesses are often hard to find amongst the dominant, heteronormative content that still floods wedding feeds.

I work with couples to create images that reflect their personalities and connection.

I’m a documentary and editorial style wedding photographer. My approach to image-making is unscripted and spontaneous, with a focus on emotion, energy and dramaturgy. The most important thing to me is that the people I work with feel safe, understood and seen.

As a documentary style and editorial wedding photographer, my approach is often described as unscripted, intimate and relaxed. This includes a mixture of portraits and in-the-moment unposed shots. What I love most about weddings is getting to know the people present; their stories and the dynamics between them. I pay attention to details and glances, and look for connections.

Full day bookings include two consultations, a password protected gallery of digital images and an envelope of twenty fine art prints.
