SOME KIND WORDS

“THESE ARE INCREDIBLE.

YOU FUCKING LEGEND.

SMASHED IT.

WANT TO CRY.

 

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”

— A & A

“Joy is fantastic to work with and certainly has "the eye", she photographed our handfasting ceremony beautifully.

I'm not sure you could meet a more lovely photographer than Joy, thanks a million and keep up the good work!”

— J & S

“Joy had an amazing talent of getting both my husband and I, and the other guests, to feel relaxed and have their photo taken happily.

She made us feel relaxed and confident, and blended in seamlessly to get some wonderful candid shots too.

The images speak for themselves, treasured memories forever.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joy for any event you want capturing.

Thank you so much Joy!”

— B & M

Hello friend. I’m so glad you found me.

I’m Joy Louise, your portrait & wedding photographer.

First thing’s first, everyone is welcome in my books! Everyone deserves to feel love. Everyone deserves to celebrate themselves. Everyone deserves to enjoy life without judgment.

I can’t even tell you how exciting it is getting to know my clients/new friends, and after over 15 years of photographing people, I still flipping love doing it!

At the heart of it all, I want to keep it real by capturing your real essence, relationships, emotions, and story. But let’s be honest, being photographed by someone else can be quite an awkward or nerve-racking experience. SO, my goal is to provide a super comfortable environment for you, creating a safe space to be your genuine self so we can get those stunning photographs.

If that’s your cup of tea, I’m super excited to hear from you!

Joy xx

Photographers, tell me the strangest things you’ve done to get the shot! And I will say that kneeling and sinking a bit in the sand is a tame thing compared other things I’ve done 😅 And yes, that was a proper weird laugh I did. I think as this was at the end of a shoot with a lot of laughter, my laugh got weird and broke. #photographerlife #lancashirephotographer #maternityphotography #maternityshoot #lancashireweddingphotographer #alternativeweddingphotographer #scotlandweddingphotographer #yorkshireweddingphotographer

It is true that I can be a clumsy person, but so far this is the closest I have come to absolutely decking it on a wedding day. Luckily for me and my ego I didn’t actually fall over! But as a wedding photographer I do think this can be a high risk situation as I don’t know about you, but I’m always walking backwards to get the shot 📸 Anyway, my gorgeous couple and I had a little laugh about it before getting back to enjoying their beautiful micro wedding 💍♥️ No lessons have been learnt, I will continue to walk backwards to get the shots on my couples wedding days so I can get the job done 👍 Lancashire wedding photographer | Cheshire wedding photographer | Cheshire wedding | micro wedding | alternative wedding | wedding photography
So I think 360 cameras are super fun, great for being the scenes footage but they do also show me all the odd faces, sounds and movements I do. And I both love it and cringe at it. But that is also the fun of it 😅 Here’s how my face looks just before the newly weds walk out for their confetti exit! 💍 Lancashire wedding photographer | Yorkshire wedding photographer | Scotland wedding photographer | alternative wedding photographer
