Welcome, i am Jessica mabel,
the girl behind the lens.

I’m Jess (she/her), a wedding photographer born & bred in Wigan, Greater Manchester but I don't need to be asked twice to travel further afield. I live with my partner, Aaron and our Greek whippet-like rescue dog, Lady.


Having worked in the detail-orientated world that is Interior Design, I was drawn back to my earlier studies in Photography. Now I love to document core and fleeting moments on wedding days, taking inspiration from my vast creative background.


I’ve allowed the last few years of my life to be entirely consumed by a 1930’s house renovation although, I wouldn’t have it any other way!


If I’m not on a dog walk, I’m probably in a coffee shop, pottering in the garden or rewatching SATC, Schitts Creek or Gilmore Girls with the love of my life - an oat milk bru and hobnobs. I’m also a huuge lover of the theatre and going to live gigs! #supportthearts

Jess was absolutely fab! She blended right in with our guests to the extent that some of our family members thought she was just another one of our friends! She captured all the joy, love and hilarious moments of our day. Would 100% recommend her, especially if you're looking for a laid-back or candid style.

my style


91% of a wedding day, I will be shooting in a relaxed, documentary style to allow authentic emotions to shine through in front of the camera. Basically, I aim to capture you and your guests having the best, care-free time by slotting myself into your day like any other guest!


My favourite images from a wedding day have to be of those having unapologetic fun on the dance floor, the building emotions during preparations and of course, couple portraits. With some light guidance from me, we will create modern portraits in a few perfect spots found when we take a wander around the venue

(a great opportunity to recharge social batteries).


Documenting weddings isn’t just about being able to work a camera, but about being good with people and being a true hopeless romantic.
