About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2019

Last update: November 2024

I'm Jan, a wedding photographer based in Liverpool.

Having been in the industry now for over 18 years, I have recently moved back to my hometown of Liverpool after living in the South West for several years.

Over the years I've been a Licentiate of the Master Photographers Association, the BIPP and the Guild of Photographers - and for the last two years I've won the Hitched Wedding Award too.

Services Offered

I like to think my style is relaxed and documentary - I strive to catch those photos that you don't know I'm taking, and to be your 'eyes' for the day so you can look back and remember those special moments - and also see the moments you might have missed.

My packages cover every situation from the Micro Wedding (up to 2 hours covering just the ceremony and photos of you both and your families after) to Full Day starting with preparations right up to your First Dance - with shorter packages in between.

I can accomodate most couples requirements though so if you look at the packages on my website and think "Hmmm... we need something slightly different" - just ask me ! We can work on a bespoke package just for you.

If I could give more than 5 starts I would.

Booking Janet as our photographer was the best choice we made. From meeting her and discussing our day and emailing back and forth she was so professional and so passionate. On the day of our wedding Janet put us at ease as we are not very good comfortable in front of cameras. She really captured our day and the photos we have received back are a million times better than we expected and all so natural. We will cherish our photos forever. Thank you so much Janet 💓

Would absolutely recommend

Jan photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! We wanted more documentary style along with some posed and the photos didn’t disappoint. Jan was really approached from the start, always quick to get back with any info and advice. Communication was top tier. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding!

Couldn’t be happier!

It didn’t take more than a second to know that Jan was the photographer for us, just look at her work on her website! We, of course, had the obligatory posed photos to appease the Mum’s, but Jan’s skill lies in the documentary style that we wanted for our later in life casual wedding. She has honestly captured personalities and treasured moments that would never have come across with a more traditional approach. She worked like a little worker bee to produce pictures that captured the look and feel we were going for. Filter out the ones with the extra chins and me looking like I’m chewing a toffee, and this woman has made us and our guests look beautiful. She’s really nice, too! Thanks, Jan. You were a star 😄x

The photographer we were looking for

From our first meeting to our last hug after our first dance, Jan was everything we wanted and more. For 2 women who hated their photo being taken, we met Jan for a photo shoot and got to see very quickly that we had nothing to worry about, she put us at ease in front of the camera.
Every step of the way Jan was there and quality of her photos are incredible. Having searched far and wide for ‘the photographer’ we were looking for, we found!

We can’t thank Jan enough for how she shot our day, we were very lucky to have found someone who just got it and got us. There was never any pressure for photo after photo, she very much wanted us to share the day with our nearest and dearest and captured some fantastic shots along the way.

Thank you Jan for capturing the wedding of our dreams, and doing it in style! We are eternally grateful.

Super friendly and professional service

Jan was really engaged from our very first meeting and put our minds at ease that she could provide exactly the package we were looking for. Although neither of us are keen to have our photo taken, she made us relax in her company and allowed us to get some really lovely natural looking wedding photos.
Jan was able to accommodate our wish for a half-day package without compromising the range of pictures we were after. She was efficient at getting both the formal shots, plus some of us alone, whilst also giving us plenty of time to spend with our guests,

Just a dream photographer!

Jan put us at ease from the very first phone call, which as 2 people who don’t like having photos taken was really essential! She listened to exactly the type of photos we were looking for (relaxed and informal), and on the day she stayed calm and jovial despite torrential rain and fussy relatives! Everyone commented on how great Jan was and she even helped us give out the gifts during the speeches. We’d recommend her over and over again. Thank you!

The perfect photographer for our day

We are so happy Janet was recommended to us! Amazing photographer and a great laugh as well! The photos we got back were amazing and we could not be happier! Perfect pictures we requested as formal ones and the natural ones were even better! During the speeches or ceremony she was like a ninja and we didnt even see her taking pics at all! We cannot recommend her enough and if you choose her you wont be dissappointed!

Incredible!!

My and my new husband are so incredibly happy with the quality and quantity of our wedding photos! Jan was honestly amazing throughout the day with arranging photos, ensuring she was able to capture many happy memories for us to look back on, but also making sure we were still enjoying our day and not constantly posing for photos!
We are just in the process of deciding what photos we want for our photo album and again Jan is being incredibly helpful in how best to design it etc!
We also opted to add on the videographer to Jans package, and the same can be said for Adrian! Both of them work together as a dream team, and we are both so happy with the final product that we have! High recommend both Jan and Adrian!
