Specialist Christchurch wedding photographer Jerry Fenner tells the story of your day with a relaxed, documentary style. He creates beautiful, timeless wedding and engagement photos you’ll love.
Beautiful photography telling the story of your life is at the heart of Jerry Fenner Photography. Based in Christchurch, Jerry specialises in wedding photography, bringing a calm, storytelling approach to every wedding he photographs. He believes the best images come when couples feel relaxed and able to be themselves, so his work focuses on authentic moments rather than stiff poses. Why choose Jerry Fenner for your wedding? Jerry’s work is grounded in a documentary, reportage style that captures the emotion and small details that make your day unique — the quiet laugh during vows, the tear wiped away at the speeches, the spontaneous dance moves that make memories. With years of experience shooting across Christchurch, Dorset and the New Forest, Jerry knows how to work with natural light and local venues to create images that look beautiful on the wall and in an album. What makes his approach special is the balance between being present and unobtrusive. Jerry blends into the background when the day unfolds naturally, then steps forward with gentle direction when you want a moment shaped — a few quick, calm prompts to capture flattering, characterful portraits without losing the flow of your day. He values conversation and preparation: a pre-wedding chat means he understands what matters to you, so he can concentrate on telling your story with honesty and care. How Jerry works with couples: from your first enquiry you’ll find a friendly, straightforward process. He listens to your plans, suggests locations and timings based on his local experience, and adapts his coverage to suit your day — whether you want a quietly observed documentary record or a mix of candid and posed portraits. Engagement sessions are available to help couples feel at ease in front of the camera and to create images for invitations or signing books. Jerry’s passion is rooted in capturing life’s big moments with integrity and warmth. If you want a wedding photographer in Christchurch who focuses on storytelling, natural light, and images that stand the test of time, Jerry Fenner offers a considered, professional service that keeps the day — and your memories — at the centre.
