That relaxed atmosphere allows Jamie to capture genuine smiles, spontaneous reactions and the small interactions that become treasured memories. As a focused wedding specialist, Jamie understands the rhythm of a wedding day and works unobtrusively to document it — blending into the background during vows and speeches, then stepping forward with creative direction when moments call for it. How Jamie works with couples is simple and personal. He starts by getting to know you both — your priorities, timings and the parts of the day you most want remembered. Engagement or pre-wedding sessions are available as a chance to build rapport and make you feel comfortable ahead of the big day. On the wedding day Jamie favours a documentary-led approach, punctuated by brief, relaxed portrait sessions so you can enjoy your day without long interruptions. Communication, clear planning and a calm presence are part of his process from first contact to final delivery. Jamie also offers wedding video as an optional add-on, providing discreet HD highlight films and short social teasers that complement his photographic storytelling. While his primary focus remains professional wedding photography and engagement coverage, the video options give couples a way to relive their day through movement and sound. Rooted in Chester and proud to serve neighbouring regions, Jamie Ellis Photography combines a passion for storytelling with dependable professionalism. If you want wedding photography that focuses on real moments, emotional storytelling and an easygoing client experience, Jamie is a specialist you can trust to capture the moments that matter.
