Jess Petrie Photography

Jess Petrie is a specialist wedding photographer based in Burngreave, Sheffield, whose work focuses on creating honest, story-led images that reflect the true atmosphere of your day. As a wedding specialist, Jess prioritises unobtrusive storytelling: she looks for the small, genuine moments—laughter between family members, the hush before vows, the spontaneous joy on the dancefloor—and shapes them into a visual narrative that feels timeless and personal. Why choose Jess? Her approach is centred on making couples feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She balances documentary observation with gentle, considered direction when needed, so portraits never feel forced. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that look natural, emotional, and uniquely yours. Working locally in Burngreave and the wider Sheffield area, Jess understands venues, light and pace across the region and uses that knowledge to capture the best moments with calm, confident presence. How Jess works with couples: the process begins with a relaxed conversation to understand your priorities and the flow of your day. On the wedding day she stays attentive but low-key, blending into the background to preserve candid moments while stepping forward at the right times for portraits and key details. After the day, she carefully edits the images to deliver a coherent, emotive gallery that tells the full story—from preparations to the final farewell. Alongside weddings, Jess also offers engagement photography and occasional photography workshops. Engagement shoots are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to capture the early chapters of your story together. Workshops are aimed at people looking to learn more about photographing people and telling stories with light and composition. Jess’s photography is driven by a love for real moments and human connection. If you value honest, beautifully crafted wedding photography in Burngreave and Sheffield—rooted in storytelling and gentle direction—Jess Petrie offers a thoughtful, professional service to preserve your wedding day memories for years to come.
