E N Q U I R E

MORE THAN PRETTY PICTURES (But You’ll Get Those Too)

I photograph weddings the way they naturally unfold — through movement, emotion and the quiet, in-between moments most people miss.
Based in Manchester and working across the UK, my approach blends a love for art, rhythm and real connection.
Romantic, playful and deeply intentional — this is wedding photography that feels like you.

If you're dreaming of a photography experience that's emotional, intentional, and unmistakably beautiful PRIMO — you're in the right place!

Because B E A U T Y isn't just in the edit.
It's in the connection, the comfort, the way you felt when the shutter clicked.

REAL LOVE | REAL LAUGHS & REAL MOMENTS 

Hi! I’m Janette — a Manchester-based wedding photographer capturing real, romantic love stories across the UK.
I blend timeless style with a love for art, dance, and the kind of raw, editorial imagery that gives you goosebumps (the good kind) and makes you say: "Wait… that’s actually us?"

My photos? Soulful, dreamy, and beautifully PRIMO.
They look like they belong in a magazine — but they’re all you. And yes, you really did look that good.

The PRIMO Philosophy: Emotion over perfection. Comfort over clichés. Story over posing.

THE PRIMO EXPERIENCE

  • A bride and groom standing on a balcony, with the bride smiling at the camera and the groom facing away, overlooking a scenic landscape during sunset.

    TAILORED FROM THE FIRST CLICK

    No two couples are the same — and neither are their galleries. I get to know you, your vibe, your weird inside jokes, and what truly matters to you. That’s what I photograph.

  • A man in a light suit holds a woman in a wedding dress in his arms on a city street in black and white.

    DANCE THROUGH THE LENS

    With a background in dance, I see rhythm in every movement — whether it’s a swirl of fabric or a subtle glance. My photos flow with grace and emotion.

  • Two men at a formal event, one with short hair and the other with glasses and a beard, engaging in a playful hand handshake, surrounded by seated guests.

    RELAXED RADIANCE

    You don’t have to know what to do with your hands. I guide, I laugh with you, and I create a space where you can just be yourselves — and look damn good doing it.

  • A woman in a decorated dress and sunglasses standing by a vintage van, holding a hat, with a man seated nearby wearing traditional attire and a crown in an outdoor setting.

    ART OVER ORDINARY

    This isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a collaboration. I photograph with intention, creating frames that feel like you — not a performance. Editorial in feel, documentary at heart.

  • A bride in a wedding dress holding a bouquet of flowers in a garden setting. She appears to be preparing for her wedding or a photoshoot. The scene is in black and white.

    WHY MY COUPLES FIND ME

    They’re madly in love, beautifully imperfect, and unapologetically themselves. They want CONNECTION, not perfection. And a photographer who gets it — not one shouting poses.

NOTES THAT MADE ME BLUSH

  • A black and white photo of a newly married couple walking hand in hand, smiling, with confetti falling around them, outside a building.

    SOPHIE & KIERAN

    “Wow what can we say!
    Janette was amazing, made us feel so at ease as people who do not enjoy getting our picture taken! Janette made it fun and relaxed and definitely made us come out of our shell and just had a ball. Out of the whole wedding day, the photography experience was definitely up there with my favorite part of the day. Definitely recommend!”

  • A black and white photo of a man in a suit lifting a woman in a wedding dress near a lake, with trees in the background.

    KAT & NIAL

    “From the first time we met up before the wedding we could tell that Janette understood what we wanted from our photos. We love the photos and would recommend Janette to anyone wanting photos that are authentic, spontaneous and natural :)”

  • A bride and groom sharing an umbrella outdoors on a cloudy day.

    HANNAH & BILLY

    “From the moment we met Janette to discuss our wedding, we knew she was the photographer for us! She was professional and personable throughout, a pleasure to host and she captured some amazing moments without having to take us away from our guests for too long. We couldn't be happier with the results!”
