With a focus on wedding photography as her primary practice, Jayne works in a relaxed, documentary-led style that prioritises emotion, atmosphere and the honest interactions between people. The result is a collection of images that feel genuine, timeless and personal. Why choose Jayne? Her approach is rooted in unobtrusive storytelling. She watches for the small gestures, the laughter and the quiet glances, stepping in only when a composed portrait will enhance the narrative of the day. This balance between candid reportage and considered portraiture ensures you get both natural moments and beautiful, flattering photographs of the people who matter most. How Jayne works with couples: every wedding begins with a friendly conversation to understand your priorities, timings and the feel you want for your day. On the wedding day she keeps things calm and professional—guiding group shots and couple portraits with gentle direction while otherwise moving quietly through the day to capture authentic interactions. Jayne is used to working alongside celebrants, planners and venue teams to stay organised without interrupting the flow of the celebration. Engagement photography is available as a complementary offering to help couples relax in front of the camera before their wedding day. These sessions are an opportunity to get comfortable with Jayne’s style and to create relaxed, natural images you’ll treasure. Though wedding photography is Jayne’s core focus, she also occasionally takes on family, business and event work. Her primary passion and expertise remains weddings, where she brings sensitivity, consistency and a clear storytelling eye to every brief. Clients appreciate Jayne’s warm, unobtrusive manner and her ability to produce emotive images that stand the test of time—evidenced by consistently excellent client feedback. Based in Canterbury and working across Kent, Jayne is committed to delivering honest, carefully observed wedding photography that reflects the personality of each couple and the unique spirit of their day.
