REAL, CREATIVE & RELAXED STORY TELLING IMAGES FOR FREE-SPIRITED COUPLES
A fun, relaxed and artistic photographer who loves to craft real and honest images showing laughter and love. Moments of your day are covered, from getting ready in the morning until dancing in the evening.
Hello! I’m Jess. A Cheshire wedding & family photographer.
I am not there to dictate but to document. And once the cake has been eaten and the dancing shoes are put away, I will present your gorgeous images to treasure forever. I love to work with laid back, creative couples who enjoy nothing more than being surrounded by loved ones and are ready to party! Natural light and real moments, nothing too staged! From relaxed hand-tying festival weddings to huge family parties in the garden, city chic or a blessing in a barn…. I will capture your story unfolding.
I love getting to know my couples, hearing their stories and capturing their day. Each time, the story is completely unique, and I can’t wait to tell yours.
My couples don’t especially like being centre of attention so looking for a photographer who can be discrete and direct when needed! They are really relaxed and easy going and are looking for the precious moments of the day to be captured
Based in the heart of Cheshire, however I do cover weddings all over the UK & Abroad. I want to capture your beautiful romantic story so let’s start your wedding adventure together. If you’d like to see if your date is available then please get in touch via the contact form or email me directly at hello@jessyarwood.co.uk

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Covering the UK & Abroad
Weddings are all about being surrounded by your favourite people and having a great time. You’re planning a super chilled and relaxed wedding day, you really want beautiful photos you can put on your walls and pore over for years to come.
As well as photos of your uncle throwing shapes on the dancefloor. You want natural photos – no stuffiness, no hours of formal lineups and being told what to do. You’re a creative person and you’re looking forward to put your stamp on the day, and getting photos of you and your best people having a fabulous time.

BEING WITH YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
capturing the day you have planned
Capturing the day as you have planned it, surrounded by your family and friends. I do family portraits as they are so important, it’s the photograph your relative wants to have on the matlepiece!
I say 8-10 and ask a person from the wedding party co-ordinates this as they are more likely to know who is needed. It’s fairly quick so you can get back to your guests.
KEEPING SOME OF THE TRADITIONS
Throw all the confetti
There are some traditions during a wedding that I love, one being confetti throwing!
Order plenty of confetti for your guests to throw. This creates picture perfect moments filled with joy & colour. Whether it’s a dramatic exit from the ceremony or a lively reception entrance, a shower of colour can highlight these special moments.
MOMENTS MATTER THE MOST
Documentary & Reportage
A photographic style that captures a moment or event, images that tell a story. Unlike traditional styles of photography, reportage photographs are often less formal and portray their characters in a pose-free way that occurs naturally, not staged. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end, and much like any event that takes place reportage has all the recipes of a story.
Documentary style wedding photographers tell your story, you want to remember your special event from beginning to end candidly, you want to be able to see and relive the events that happen on this very special day without it looking ‘too posed’.

PRO PEOPLE WATCHER
Documenting you and your family and friends...THIS is what's important....and I will be there to capture it.
Natural light photographer in Cheshire – This means that I use natural light sources wherever possible. This compliments my documentary style of photography, it’s unobtrusive and, I think, a lot prettier. Where there is no natural light source available I do use flash and/or video light. This essentially means that my job is to tell the story of your wedding day, just as it is. This means observing and waiting for all of the genuine moments and natural interactions between you and your nearest and dearest. This way I really get to understand the dynamic of your wedding and record it all for you in photographs. I will give you gentle direction for group shots and your couple shots but that is pretty much it. No cheesy set up poses!
