Soar Photo

Soar Photo is a specialist wedding photography service led by Jo, a Leicester-based photographer shooting weddings across Leicestershire, the Midlands and beyond. With roots in dance and theatre and a photographic practice established since 2008, Jo brings a theatrical eye for movement, light and composition to every wedding day, while always keeping the focus on real people and genuine emotion. Why choose Soar Photo? Jo blends traditional and contemporary approaches to create images that feel both beautiful and true. Her experience working in performance and media means she’s comfortable on a busy wedding day, confident with tricky light and calm under pressure — all qualities that let couples relax and enjoy their day. The work favours natural light, thoughtful framing and a documentary sensibility, so you get a story-led collection of moments, details and portraits that reflect your day rather than staged, cookie-cutter images. What makes the approach special is Jo’s commitment to authenticity. Described by clients as free-spirited, creative and sensitive, she aims to capture the personality of each couple and their guests with empathy and humour. Whether it’s a quiet, private ceremony or a lively celebration, Jo’s priority is to be unobtrusive and responsive: present at the right moments, blending into the background when required, and stepping forward to craft a strong portrait when it matters. How she works with couples is straightforward and human. Jo enjoys getting to know you — your style, priorities and any moments you especially want captured — and creating a relaxed atmosphere on the day so even camera-shy guests feel at ease. Engagement sessions and bespoke pre-wedding shoots are available as part of the wedding offering, giving couples an opportunity to feel comfortable in front of the lens before the big day. After the event, Jo carefully edits images with a clean, natural aesthetic that suits modern wedding albums and prints. While weddings are the core focus, Jo’s wider experience in portrait, event and location photography enriches her wedding work, bringing versatility and an editorial eye. If you’re planning a wedding in Leicester, Leicestershire or the wider Midlands and want creative, authentic wedding photography that tells your story, get in touch with Soar Photo to start the conversation.
