I’m here to tell your story.

I observe and carefully capture all the little moments, so that when you look at your images, you experience again and again your day as it really happened.

My version of your story is created through emotion, how you felt as you said your vows, the interactions of family and friends, the tears of joy and laughter.

No posing, just great photos

You’ll hardly know I’m there, but I’ll be discreetly making the most of every opportunity to capture true character. It’s simply what I love to do, and the reason why I chose to become a wedding photographer.

Jenny’s ability not to miss a moment is incredible, her energy and passion comes across in the photos.”

MICHELLE & DANE

I mostly capture weddings along the South coast of England, from Cornwall to Kent, but if my work sings to you, I’m always up for travel to a new location.

Hello, I’m Jenny.

I’m a professionally qualified Sussex documentary wedding photographer with 15 years’ experience.

Based near Brighton, I’m a regular at many beautiful Sussex barns and have been a recommended supplier for over 7 years at Long Furlong Barn and Pangdean Old Barn in West Sussex, as well as at Tunnels Beaches, a stunning beach venue in Devon.

Pleased to meet you.

You want to look great in your wedding photos, but it’s equally important to you to remember your wedding as it really was, through fun, vibrant photos that feel alive with personality and emotion.  

And you want to forget about the camera and simply enjoy your day with family and friends.

My aim

“For YOU TO SIMPLY RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR WEDDING – WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN OUTSTANDING SET OF HIGH QUALITY IMAGES TO TREASURE FOR A LIFETIME”

No fuss

No awkwardness

She was able to capture such beautiful shots without getting in the way – most of the time we didn’t even realise Jenny was there!”
