JLawrence Photography

I’m Jesse of JLawrence Photography, a wedding specialist based in Fareham on the edge of the New Forest. My focus is simple: to create beautiful, honest wedding photographs while making the experience as enjoyable and stress‑free as possible. I’m known for being the ideal photographer for couples who dislike being photographed — I work with real people of every shape, age, gender and background and I make sure you look and feel like the best version of yourselves. Why choose me? I combine a strong work ethic with a gentle, practical approach that gets genuine moments without forcing awkward poses. My aim is to help you relax; through clear communication, simple posing guidance and a conversational on‑shoot manner, I remove the pressure so you can be present on your wedding day. Many couples tell me they’ve never seen themselves look so natural and confident — that’s the result of building trust, not imposing a style. My photography philosophy centres on inclusivity and authenticity. I’m proud to be an ally and to welcome LGBTQ+ couples, people of colour and anyone who wants their day captured without being reshaped into someone else’s idea of perfect. I believe good photography should celebrate who you really are, not edit you into a stranger. How I work: I put time into getting to know you before the big day so the photography flows naturally. Engagement sessions are an integral part of that process — they’re about practicing, building rapport and discovering flattering, comfortable ways to pose. On the wedding day I stay focused on the story: the small details, the moments between the formal shots, and the emotional highlights. I’m hardworking, discreet when needed and always looking out for those candid moments that become the images you return to for years. Based in Fareham and regularly working across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire (with UK travel available), I bring professional equipment, full professionalism and a DBS certificate where required. If you want a wedding photographer who prioritises people, inclusivity and honest storytelling, let’s talk about your day and how I can capture it.
