Specialist Leatherhead wedding photographer delivering relaxed, timeless wedding and engagement images. Jo blends into the day to capture genuine moments you’ll treasure.
Joanna Lauren Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Leatherhead, serving couples across Surrey and the UK. Jo’s approach is warm, unhurried and personal — she blends effortlessly into your day so you can be present while she captures the real moments that matter: the laughter during prep, the quiet stolen glances, the confetti and all the in-between details. Why choose Jo? From the first enquiry she’s on your side. Planning begins with a conversation to understand the mood and story you want your images to tell. Practical prep is part of Jo’s process — she works with couples to build a shot plan for the day so nothing important is missed, while leaving space for spontaneous documentary moments. Clients consistently praise her relaxed manner and ability to put guests and bridal parties at ease, producing photographs that feel natural rather than staged. Style and craft: Jo’s signature is timeless, authentic wedding photography. She prefers natural light where possible and composes images that focus on real emotion and elegant simplicity. Whether creating intimate couple portraits, lively reception reportage or thoughtful detail shots, her images are designed to sit beautifully on your walls and in your album for years to come. Engagements and pre-wedding sessions: Joanna offers engagement photography as part of her wedding service options — relaxed shoots that build confidence in front of the camera and create a lovely set of images to use for invitations, websites or on the day itself. How she works on the day: Jo’s presence is calm and professional. She captures preparation, ceremony, portraits and reception with a mix of unobtrusive reportage and gentle direction when you want it. After the wedding you’ll receive your images through an online gallery portal for easy viewing and sharing; many couples also receive printed keepsakes and bespoke packages to remember the day. Based locally in Leatherhead with a Fetcham studio for meetings and portraits, Joanna Lauren Photography combines thoughtful planning, technical skill and a genuine love of weddings. If you want a photographer who prioritises authentic moments and makes the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable, Jo is ready to capture your story.
