Beautiful photos

We booked Jake after browsing photographers websites due to the style of the photos he takes. We wanted a mix of posed photos and natural photos. We have ended up with some beautiful photos both from the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding. Jake was easy to get on with and also made us feel as comfortable as we could do in front of a camera as both me and my husband are quite awkward in front of a camera. We are really happy with the service we received and would definitely recommend.

If you want to see what joy, chaos and passion look like in film, book Jake!

I can’t thank Jake at Swiftly Creative enough being the videographer on our wedding day. I really love his natural approach to capturing the day how it was, we weren’t posed and positioned all day but had enough guidance to get some fun and quality shots. Jake also interviewed members of our family to get a real personal feel to our video, which is something unique we will treasure forever.
His fun and friendly personality was what attracted us to his work when we met at the Sheffield Wedding Fayre, and all our footage lives up to that first impression.

Jake recently did our videography for our wedding in August and we are so happy we chose him as our supplier. Everything was straight forward and professional from my initial enquiry to receiving our video today which we are over the moon with! Jake is a great guy and made everything very laid back and easy on our special day. I would definitely recommend his services. Thanks again Jake!

Incredible

We can not recommend Swiftly Creative more. Jake truly listened to what we wanted, our likes and dislikes and gave us some beautiful memories captured in photos. He is such a warm and friendly person who I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a candid wedding. Thank you from Rob and Faye Jenkinson

Woohoo William was great

William was really professional, couple of our guests had just been to other weddings and were impressed. He was very organised, took some brilliant shots, and we're very pleased with the results. Lots of woo in the photos made the whole thing fun

Wedding photographer

Cannot fault these guys, after losing out when my wedding package company went bust they stepped up helping all those affected, and im so glad that they did. Because these two were so friendly putting everyone and ease, and the photos they got were outstanding and captured our day brilliantly. I cannot recommend these guys enough to everyone as you will not be disappointed.

Perfect wedding day photographer

Swiftly Creative made our wedding day photography experience so incredibly special! They made our friends and family feel so comfortable and worked tirelessly all day to capture special moments. We especially loved going to the Peak District for some countryside photos. Both the formal portraits and candid shots were equally gorgeous and we love looking through the album of our wedding day. We would highly recommend Jake at Swiftly Creative to others getting married - thank you so much!

Calming friendly photographer

Jake and team was amazing it our wedding. They slot in to our day and would match any vibe of that moment. He found an amazing park near our venue to take fantastic photographs that was edited and sent to us very quickly. The team looked after us both and instructed our wedding team well. I am so happy with our photographs and experience from this team. Highly recommend, Thankyou!

The absolute best

Myself and my husband are both quite anxious people especially when it comes to having pics taken, but Jake made us feel so comfortable and natural taking our photos we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
