Joanna Cleeve Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Chichester, focused entirely on documenting weddings with care, creativity and calm. Joanna’s work centres on capturing real moments and honest emotion—images that reflect the atmosphere and personality of your day rather than staged perfection. Why choose Joanna? As a dedicated wedding photographer, Joanna brings a reassuring presence to busy days. Her approach is unobtrusive and attentive: she watches for those quiet glances, spontaneous laughter and meaningful rituals, then turns them into photographs that feel timeless and true. Couples consistently praise her ability to put people at ease, blending into the background while remaining ready to capture decisive moments. What makes her approach special is the marriage of documentary sensitivity and considered composition. Joanna favours natural light, authentic expression and subtle, elegant framing so each image sits comfortably alongside the memory it represents. The result is a wedding collection that tells a coherent story—from preparations and vows through to the first dances—without forcing moments or interrupting the flow of the day. How Joanna works: she begins by listening. A relaxed conversation before the wedding helps her understand what matters most to you—family priorities, timings, venues and the little details that make your celebration unique. On the day she operates with calm efficiency, guiding where needed for portraits but otherwise photographing the day discreetly. After the wedding, Joanna carefully edits and curates your images to ensure a cohesive, emotionally resonant gallery you’ll return to again and again. Rooted in Chichester, Joanna covers weddings across the local area and brings a heartfelt, professional commitment to every booking. If you’re seeking a wedding photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a story-led approach, Joanna Cleeve Photography offers experienced, specialist coverage that keeps the focus on your experience and the memories you’ll cherish.
