Jess Yarwood Photography

Hello — I’m Jess. Based in Crewe and working across the UK, I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography for laid-back, creative couples who want real moments, not rigid posing. I am not there to dictate but to document: my approach is to blend into your day, observe the laughter and tears, and craft honest images that tell the story of your wedding from first preparations to the dancefloor. Why choose me? I love photographing weddings that are filled with personality — festival hand-tying ceremonies, marquee parties at home, church blessings or relaxed barn receptions. I shoot primarily with natural light where possible because it complements the reportage style I favour: unobtrusive, pretty and true-to-life. When low light calls for it I use subtle flash or video light to enhance atmosphere rather than overpower it. My photography style sits somewhere between reportage and gentle direction. I wait for the genuine interactions — the in-between laughs, the quiet glances — and provide light guidance when couples want portraits that feel romantic and effortless. Trust me to get those wall-worthy portrait images in 15–20 minutes so you can enjoy time with your guests without lengthy interruptions. Working with me is relaxed and collaborative. Before the big day I’ll get to know you, hear your plans and understand the moments you most want captured. On the day I focus on creating a calm atmosphere, keeping you at ease and letting the story unfold naturally. After the wedding I present your images through a private online gallery for easy sharing with family and friends — a simple, thoughtful way to revisit the day. While weddings are my core focus, I also photograph families and portraits, and bring the same warm, documentary sensibility to these sessions. If you’re planning a wedding in Crewe, Cheshire or further afield and want professional, emotive wedding photos that feel real and joyful, I’d love to hear about your plans and tell your story through my lens.
