Hey, thanks for visiting! I’m Josie, a Leicestershire photographer specialising in artful, documentary-style photography for weddings and events.

With over 15 years of experience as a Leicestershire wedding photographer, capturing special moments across the county and beyond, I bring a creative, relaxed and professional approach to every wedding or event I photograph. I’ve been shooting weddings and events professionally since 2008. What I love most? Capturing the real, unscripted moments, the excitement, the emotion, and all the little in-between bits that make each day unique! No two events are the same, and that’s what keeps it fresh and exciting for me. I love watching each story unfold and capturing every moment.


why choose me as your Leicestershire wedding photographer

I’ve been capturing weddings across Leicestershire and beyond since 2008, so I bring this knowledge and skill, which I’ve built on over the years, to every wedding I photograph. Having someone who knows the ropes with a wedding is important; there’s a lot going on, so many moments to capture, and so much that is easily missed, especially in dark or busy places! I’ve captured hundreds of weddings now, so you don’t have to worry about me missing details or important shots.

Reportage Style

As a Leicestershire wedding photographer with a documentary approach, I will capture your day with natural, candid, reportage-style shots, and I hate anything stuffy, forced and posed! I will capture the real moments of your special day in a way that feels effortless and true to you.

personal approach

Let’s be real: Your wedding photographer is going to play a big part in your day! By your side from when the bridesmaids are still in their PJs right through until the party is in full swing, so it’s important that you’ve got someone with a personal, human, warm approach that you’re not going to feel awkward around! I’m lucky enough to have been told by my clients that I’m a friendly, warm and most importantly unobtrusive person to have chosen to capture their day.
