Jo Cunningham Photography

I’m Jo Cunningham and I specialise in wedding photography based in Topsham, Exeter. As a dedicated wedding photographer I focus on creating a gentle, narrative record of your day: candid, emotive moments alongside thoughtful portraits that together tell the story of your wedding. My aim is always the same — to deliver professional wedding photos that feel natural, timeless and true to you. My approach is friendly, relaxed and unobtrusive. I know a wedding photographer is given backstage access to your day, so trust and a good personality matter. I work quietly alongside your schedule, listening and adapting rather than applying a rigid formula. That means I’m equally at home capturing stolen glances and the laughter of guests as I am arranging a short, calm portrait session so you don’t lose precious time with loved ones. Couples often tell me I helped them feel at ease without being bossy — guiding when needed, invisible when it matters. Practically, I use professional Canon cameras and lenses and bring years of experience photographing weddings across Devon, Somerset, Dorset, the wider South West and abroad. I’ve photographed relaxed country weddings, grand venue celebrations and intimate elopements (including overseas elopements in Morocco), so I’m experienced at working in varied light and locations. In 2022 I was honoured to receive the Muddy Stilettos National Best Photographer award — a recognition I bring to every booking: careful attention to detail, warmth and reliability. My working process is straightforward and centred on making things easy for you. We can meet before the wedding or chat on the phone to discuss timings, must-have shots and the feel you want for your wedding photos. I provide a sneak peek within a few days and a Pictime gallery of high-resolution images normally within two or three weeks, ready to share with friends and family. I’m also happy to suggest trusted suppliers if you need recommendations. If you’re looking for an Exeter wedding photographer who values relaxed storytelling, beautiful bridal and couple portraits, and professional, prompt delivery, I’d love to hear about your plans.
