Hello, I’m Jo. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

I had a realisation, during the first wedding I ever shot in 2012, that this was what I was truly meant to do. Up until then, I knew I had a love for the arts but I was unable to see how I could turn that passion into a career. It was after the ceremony, when I took a candid photo of a guest laughing; it was a simple shot but it sparked something much bigger inside me. Fast forward 12 years and I’ve shot over 250 weddings, couples entrusting me with capturing the not only biggest day of their lives but also allowing me to witness something incredibly personal, which I’ll always be honoured by.

Having been fiercely obsessed with drawing as a child, my first (and perhaps most important) artistic achievement was winning a Blue Peter badge at age eight for a picture of a school bus. I went on to gain a first class BA honours in Fine Art, and I think I have the Blue Peter glamour to thank for my continued enthusiasm for creativity. Once I started work, photography became a wonderful hobby I spent all my spare time and money on. Imagine my delight when I worked out that it could actually be my full time job…it was like winning that badge all over again.

These days, as my hobby has become my career, I have had to find ways to entertain myself outside of work. When life allows, a combination of travel, live music, festivals and exercise keep my soul happy and my purse light. I missed Glastonbury for a number of years as I was building up my business, but in 2017 I was able to start going back and I was thrilled to find that being in your thirties does not mean you’re too old for festivals or copious amounts of glitter.

I live in south west London with my husband Tom, who I met on Twitter in 2014. He has a good beard and loves music probably more than he loves me. We have two beautiful daughters, Robyn and Poppy, who take up most of our free time, but any we do get we spend on gigs, running, going to the theatre and engineering ways to get a bit more sleep.
