Hello Friend
It was so lovely to meet you!
Here’s a little more info about my processes and wedding photography services as requested.
Photography Approach & Style
Natural | Intimate | True To You
There are two key roles I undertake while photographing a wedding;
A guiding hand - documentary style
This role is for those moments we create together, such as during your mini couple photography session. Providing natural prompts that best showcase your relationship and who you are, these vary based on each couple and their personalities. I also like collaborating with couples when they have additional ideas they wish to explore.
Plus, if you want to also incorporate more stylised poses, 100% we can add them in too!The observer - pure documentary
This is the role I will be in most of the day to capture and document all the true moments of the in way that produces stunning photographs. So usually I’ll be floating around in the background focusing on you, the events of the day and your guests.
My editing style is fairly consistent, focusing on real colours with a slightly moody cosy feel.
However, please note that no two weddings are ever the same and there are elements out of my hands that will impact the final images such as; the weather, the venue, wedding styling, time of ceremony and time of year.
But that’s a good thing it means your wedding photographs will be uniquely yours.
The Overall Process
-
After the booking form is received I will usually get back to you within 48 hours.
We will connect and discuss your wedding requirements either by video call. This can be via WhatsApp or Zoom.
Then a contract and invoice will be sent, once the contract is returned & the deposit of £350 is paid, your date will be secured!
-
Around this time you will receive an email from me regarding any final payments which will be due 6 weeks before your wedding date.
Plus you will receive a questionnaire regarding the timeline of your wedding day, group photos and other basic details.
Then we will then firm up the wedding photography timings and requirements typically via another video call as it may have been a while since we last spoke properly.
-
At this time I will confirm all the details to check if there have been any last minute changes.
Plus, it is also an opportunity for any last minute questions.
-
Time to enjoy and celebrate the big day!
I will photograph your wedding in accordance to your timeline and the package option you have selected.
I will work to the achieve the best possible wedding photographs.
-
After your wedding, the editing process begins.
Within 48 hours you will receive “Sneak Peeks” which small selection of photographs from the day.
Then your full wedding photographs will be delivered in approximately 6 -8 weeks unless you have opted for fast-track delivery.
You will receive a link where you can access your wedding gallery digitally and download high-res & web-res versions of your photographs.
-
If your package does not come with an album or prints included.
Do not worry! You can purchase them through your wedding gallery!
I like to offer my clients the opportunity to have their photographs printed at a premium grade, so I have hand selected my favourite professional grade suppliers for print products.
However, if this is not for you that’s fine, you may print your photos if desired through your favourite high street suppliers.

I have hand selected my print suppliers to make sure they are of a premium grade that cannot be found on the highstreet so they are printed memories to be proud of.
Pre-Wedding Photography Session.
For full day packages, this comes as a complimentary service. Why?
Simple, it’s a great way for us to get to know each other even better and have a laugh together before the big day.
It acts as a bit of a trail run for being photographed by me on your wedding day so you can feel more comfortable around me and in-front of the camera if you’re a little nervous.
Whether it’s included in your package or not, there is no pressure to have the pre-wedding photography session if you don’t want to. But I think it’s a great thing to do, and I know I am a little bias ha!
Pre-Wedding Sessions are available if it’s not included in your package.
Can we have our pre-wedding photography session at any location we want?
For my pre-wedding photography sessions, you may choose any location within a 50 mile radius of PR26.
However if you have a special location you’d love to have your pre-wedding session outside of this area, we can discuss this as an option and additional travel expenses will be invoiced.
Additional Support
Planning a wedding can be difficult thing and there are lots of elements that can make up a wedding day. Therefore I can provide help with your timeline, tips for helping your day to run smoothly and be a bouncing board for any ideas your considering for the big day.
I want you to enjoy the day as much as possible and although logistic chat may not be super fun for some (though I love it), having a good timeline will enable you to reduce stress as much as possible so I’m here to help you if you want it.

SOME KIND WORDS
“So where do I start…….. we met Joy at a wedding fair and fell in love with her Joyful (her parents must have known) energy, we are quite low key self conscious people and at our micro wedding Joy wasn’t only professional, knowledgeable and focused, she was kind, understanding and fun!
We were totally at ease with her and our two children were too, we can’t thank her enough for bringing our special day to life in a way that suited us down to the ground.
She captured our personalities and our laughter at every step.
I would recommend her to everyone!”
- E& A
“Joy had an amazing talent of getting both my husband and I, and the other guests, to feel relaxed and have their photo taken happily.
She made us feel relaxed and confident, and blended in seamlessly to get some wonderful candid shots too.
The images speak for themselves, treasured memories forever.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joy for any event you want capturing.
Thank you so much Joy!”
— B & M
“Joy is fantastic to work with and certainly has "the eye", she photographed our handfasting ceremony beautifully.
I'm not sure you could meet a more lovely photographer than Joy, thanks a million and keep up the good work!”
— J & S
