Specialist wedding photographer in Telford, Jamie Ricketts captures authentic, emotive wedding and engagement photos. Calm, unobtrusive direction and tailored coverage to tell your day’s story.
I’m Jamie Ricketts, a specialist wedding photographer based in Telford, and my focus is simple: to capture the real moments that make your day uniquely yours. I help couples relax in front of the camera so the images feel honest and emotive rather than staged. With a calm, unobtrusive presence I record the small details, the big reactions and the quiet exchanges that, together, tell the complete story of your wedding day. My approach balances documentary instinct with thoughtful portraiture. I watch for meaningful interactions and fleeting expressions, then step in to create gentle, confident portraits when the moment calls for it. This gives couples a natural gallery of images — from candid ceremony shots and tearful speeches to relaxed couple portraits and joyful first dances. I prioritise light, composition and timing so every photograph feels timeless and true to the atmosphere of the day. Working with me starts with a conversation. I listen to your plans, learn what matters to you, and offer practical guidance on timing and locations so the photography fits your schedule without taking over the day. Many couples choose an engagement session before the wedding — it’s a relaxed way to get comfortable together on camera and to see how I work. On the day I remain friendly and discreet, helping you feel at ease while keeping the flow of the celebration natural. I’m proud to be a local Telford photographer who understands regional venues across Shropshire and beyond. My goal is to deliver professional wedding photos that you'll cherish: images that feel like you, that capture atmosphere, and that stand the test of time. While my primary focus is wedding and engagement photography, I also take on occasional portrait, event, business and architectural assignments when requested. If you’re planning a wedding in Telford or nearby, I’d love to hear about your day and discuss how I can create a photographic story that reflects your personality and priorities.
