Lake District Wedding Photographer
natural, authentic & a little bit fun
Hi, Nice to meet you
I’m Jaye
If you want wedding photos that feel like you, without spending your day being posed, staged or told what to do, you’re in the right place.
I’m Jaye, a Lake District wedding photographer capturing weddings naturally, authentically and with a little bit of fun along the way.
Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a day to spend with the people you love, laughing, celebrating and doing things your way. I’ll be there to capture all of it — the big moments, the little moments and all the brilliant stuff you didn’t even realise was happening.
So you can relax, enjoy your wedding and leave the photography to me.
Your Wedding.
Your Photos.
Your way.
Every photograph is unique, because every wedding is unique
.
Your wedding isn’t about recreating somebody else’s photos or spending your day working through a list of poses from the latest social media trends. It’s about you, the people you’ve chosen to celebrate with and all the moments that happen along the way
.
I’ll capture those moments naturally and authentically, while still stepping in when you need a little direction or helping to create something special when the opportunity presents itself
.
The result is a collection of photographs that feels like your wedding: real, personal and a true reflection of your day. Photos that don’t just show you what it looked like, but remind you exactly what it felt like to be there.
Real Moments. Real Emotions. Pure Joy.
You, your people and all the brilliant bits in between.
Your day
Your rules
Relax. Have fun. We’ve got this!
Like having another friend at your wedding
One of the best compliments my couples give me is that having me there feels like I’m just another guest at their wedding — particularly one who can be a calming presence when everything gets a bit hectic.
I’ll take control when you need me to, whether that’s getting everyone together for group photos or giving you a little direction during your couple photos. The rest of the time, I’ll be amongst your guests capturing the laughs, happy tears, questionable dance moves and everything else that’s going on.
Basically, I want you to forget about the photography and get on with having a brilliant wedding. Just think of me as the friend you never knew you needed.
Being Inclusive
I’m all for diversity, so it’s a big fat yes from me for same-sex and LGBTQ+ weddings. I love the coming together of families from all over the world too, bringing all of their wonderful cultures and traditions with them.
Maybe you’re both big nerds and you’re going all in for a Lord of the Rings or Star Wars themed wedding. Bring it on. Maybe you just want something laid back and low key. I’m all for that too.
No two weddings are ever the same, and that’s exactly how it should be. Fill your wedding with the people, traditions, weirdness and wonderful little touches that make it uniquely yours. That’s why I love it. That’s why your wedding will be special.
So do things your way. Your day, your rules.

Kind words
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer
“What really stood out though was how much she felt more like a friend than just a photographer. She offered so much support throughout the day and just slotted in so naturally with everyone — it honestly wouldn’t have been the same without her! We love you Jaye!”
-
Her work is brilliant and to a high standard!
“Great candid shots of us and our guests having fun. Jaye was brilliant from the first contact and this continued on the day where she put us and our guests at ease, and got some amazing photos. She knew the location and recommended some great shots, despite the weather, and we are so pleased with the final result!”

Would 100% recommend to anyone
“Jaye was so friendly from the get go. She really puts you at ease and the photos never felt forced. Jaye brings a really fun and relaxed energy which makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. We had so many comments from the guests saying how great Jaye was and how amazing the photos were afterwards”
-
We honestly cannot thank Jaye enough.
“She felt less like a vendor and more like a friend who just happened to have a camera.. Jaye brought the perfect mix of calm, humour, and professionalism. She kept us laughing when we were nervous, made photos feel fun instead of awkward, and somehow managed to be everywhere without ever being in the way, And the photos… WOW”
-
Would highly recommend Jaye!!!
“Jaye was amazing on the day and was so discreet we hardly knew she was there. Jaye captured our day perfectly and although the weather wasn’t the best we managed to get some amazing photos and Jaye knew exactly what would work! Our family and friends have been so impressed with the photos too and we can’t wait to see our album”

Her work is brilliant and to a high standard!!!
“Jaye was absolutely brilliant with us from start to finish!!! Meeting Jaye a couple of times before our wedding along with her funny and quirky sense of humour made us both feel really at ease, which was lovely when it came to our big day! Jaye was amazing at capturing beautiful pictures and memories, our wedding album is so beautiful!!! We couldn’t be happier”
Wedding Photography in the Lake District and beyond
The Lake District isn’t just somewhere I travel to for weddings — it’s home. I grew up in Cockermouth on the edge of the National Park and live here now. I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the lakes, mountains, fells, wonderfully unpredictable weather and stunning wildlife that come with it.
I photograph weddings and elopements right across the Lake District and Cumbria, from intimate celebrations tucked away in the heart of the Lakes to brilliant big wedding days at some of the Lake District’s gorgeous wedding venues.
But you don’t have to be getting married in the Lakes to have me there. I travel throughout the UK for weddings, so if you love the way I photograph them, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
Find the photography that fits your day
Think I might be your kind of wedding photographer?
If you’re planning a wedding that feels like you and want photos that feel the same, I’d love to hear all about it.
Tell me what you’re planning, where you’re getting married and anything else you think I should know. The more weird, wonderful or completely-you details, the better.
