LOVELY WORDS FROM HAPPY CLIENTS

Most of my photography clients come from personal recommendation and word of mouth – people sharing images from their photoshoots and telling friends, family and colleagues about me.
WE ABSOLUTELY
adore
THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU TOOK
“
I get an adrenaline rush when I send out galleries. You know you’ve nailed it when the order comes in for a supersized print – nothing makes me happier than a ‘wow, I love it, how big can I have it?’ reply.
We first met the lovely Jo at Sandon Manor Wedding Fair, amongst other photographers that we viewed and considered, not least was she a calm warm and personable lady.. her stunning work spoke for itself and WOW we are so happy to have had Jo commemorate our celebrations.
Jo gently encouraged us to have a pre-shoot and we are so glad she did, it was such a fun evening, so great to get used to the process of being photographed and such a pleasure to get to know and bond with Jo. The resulting photos of which we will cherish always.
On our wedding day, Jo was just the best fit, low key and ever present, her endearing personality and eye for a great shot has produced wonderful images, capturing the mood, fun and tenderness of the occasion beautifully.
We cant thank her or recommend her enough…
Simply put, Jo was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, she made the whole process easy and memorable. She captured all of our unique and funny moments in these beautiful photographs that we can fondly look back on. She was kind, endearing and professional.
I couldn’t fault a single thing – the photographs themselves were breathtaking. The views, angles, the greenery and placement – all so perfect. I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you Jo, you are a star and so talented.
Jo was really great right from the first meeting!
She was very relaxed and supportive recommending that we talked to lots of other photographers before choosing (although we ignored this because we felt so comfortable with her).
Jo really listened to what we said and asked the right questions to get a real sense of what we wanted from the day (in our case, not to spend hours having hair and makeup and not to spend too much time on photos). She got a brilliant selection of photos, some that made us laugh, some beautiful ones and all our friends and family represented.
We can’t recommend Jo highly enough!
We had a small intimate wedding at St Albans Registry Office and Jo captured our day perfectly.
As it wasn’t a traditional wedding day, Jo tailored her services specifically to what we wanted and set up a call with us beforehand so that everything went super smoothly.
The photos are just stunning and we received them only a few days after the wedding. We are so pleased with the results, thanks Jo.
We used Jo as our photographer for our country wedding in May this year and were so impressed by her professionalism, organisation, communication and relaxed demeanour on the day.
Our family and friends all commented on how wonderful Jo was on the day and how much they enjoyed her company.
The photos are all amazing and really bought all the joy of the day back. We can’t wait to get some framed and in an album.
We would highly recommend Jo!
What can I say, Jo has given us exactly what we wanted she was perfection. Neither of us are posing people for photos, and get quite nervous.
Jo made us feel so comfortable and during the ceremony we did not even know she was there! The group shots were taken with perfection and she knew exactly where everyone should go. And then, for the couple shots, we were both so relaxed and comfortable.
For only having Jo for the ceremony we were blown away with how many photos were taken and they are just so beautiful, and reflect us both perfectl

We’re so happy that Jo was available to photograph our wedding.
She came up with lots of great ideas for shots, group shots and shooting location at our venue. Communication was excellent from the initial emails, to phone calls and a “let’s meet each other zoom call”.
Jo had a very calm persona which definitely helped and was really good at telling us what she needed.
We will treasure the pictures she took of our day for a long time. We liked that Jo had a lot of flexible options and packages available as we didn’t have a traditional wedding and having the ceremony and the party on different days we didn’t need a “whole day package” but still wanted professional photos. She delivered what we wanted and more.
Jo was a delight! She came by to our wedding reception & venue before the big day to advise us on what to expect.
On the day she blended in, and stuck to our brief of simply “capturing the moment”.
The photos from the day are simply stunning – we love the candid snaps!
A natural and talented photographer with an eye for creative angles, lighting and styling – perfect for those all important formal shots.
HANNAH + RICH
Jo photographed our wedding and was absolutely brilliant. We are not really ‘photo people’ so were nervous about being in front of the camera but Jo put us at ease and made the whole thing so enjoyable and relaxed. She offered a pre-wedding shoot where we could get to know her and get used to being in front of the camera which was so helpful.
Her communication and organisation throughout was perfect.
On our wedding day, Jo was amazing. She was calm and positive, totally lovely to have around, and got all the shots we wanted. It was the perfect balance of being there when we needed her and blending into the background so we never felt exposed.
Our wedding photos are exactly what we were hoping for, and more. They capture the feeling of the day and we absolutely loved looking through them afterwards, we saw so many little bits that we didn’t even realise were happening on the day. They’re so good!
I genuinely feel really lucky to have found her for our big day, and 1000% recommend her!
SOPHIE + MATT
Jo is simply SENSATIONAL and we feel like the luckiest couple in the world to have had Jo photograph our wedding.
We cannot get over how beautiful all the photos turned out and keep looking at them over and over again, as it completely transports us back to the day.
Not only is Jo extremely talented, but she was professional, timely, kind, considerate, warm, approachable and a real joy to have around.
Jo made an unforgettable day truly unforgettable by delivering a truly iconic photo gallery. We simply cannot recommend Jo highly enough. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, for being with us on our special day and capturing moments that we’ll cherish forever. Your talent and eye for magic has really been the greatest gift as we start our new life together.
Jo photographed our wedding. We were so impressed that she managed to capture us all beautifully although we aren’t all naturals at being photographed, and she captured some amazing moments which we will treasure forever.
We had a very small wedding, just immediate family, and Jo made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. She managed to capture our day perfectly, with a mixture of candid and posed photos. Jo’s website also allowed us easy access to the photos where we could create and share a digital library, she also posted a short blog of our wedding which we thought was a very special touch.
We would heartily recommend Jo to anyone looking for a professional wedding photography service, who can listen to your needs and capture your day!
Jo is an absolutely wonderful photographer, she managed to capture the magic and joy from our wedding day and turn them into pieces of art that we will treasure forever!
We’d never had professional photos done before and had no idea how to pose but Jo made us feel at ease and guided us through what to do without making us feel awkward at all. Exactly what we wanted.
We would 100% recommend Quintessential Photography.
Jo we cannot believe how amazing those photos are. I’ve just shed another tear looking at them again, which isn’t great as I’m at work!!
You have pictured our day so beautifully and they are just so fun and wonderful we can’t stop looking at them! Thank you so so much we cannot actually believe that’s our wedding!
You are absolutely amazing! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Xx
We absolutely adore the photographs you took on the day and will treasure them for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and care and taking the time to capture the perfect images. We feel so lucky to have had you there with us.
As an aside almost every single guest has commented on how lovely you both were- so professional and friendly. We will highly recommend you to any local friends who are getting married over the next few years!
Absolutely AMAZING.
Jo is such a passionate photographer and it’s incredible what she can do with her cameras. She catches all the fun and laughter and you don’t even realise her being around. That makes it so natural and the pictures so real and full of life. You can see she loves her job and the people and as a result you get truly stunning pictures. She puts so much effort into her work and has a brilliant eye for the little things and details. Thank you Jo for some really special and beautiful moments and pictures.
I can’t recommend Jo enough. We were lucky enough to have her photograph our wedding and she took the most amazing pictures. She was friendly, professional, enthusiastic and hard working and many guests commented on what a great job she did on the day. Thank you Jo!!
Jo was amazing.
The photos were exactly what we were looking for – relaxed and natural. We have gone with Jo a few times now and she always delivers and captures special one off moments. Im looking to book up another shoot as soon as we can. It’s great fun….
Thank you Jo x
I’m almost speechless and a little bit emotional. These are very special indeed. I think your skill is exceptional. You’ve captured the spirit of the people which is your gift.
What to choose….
A huge thank you to you.
Jo came to do the photos for our wedding and spent the weekend working like a trojan. She has such an artistic eye and creates the most beautiful pictures. She has brilliant attention to detail and spent time and care to get shots of all the wedding detail. I love her natural shots of everyone and her approach with all the guests for formal pictures was spot on – professional, friendly and assertive, which meant she got the job done efficiently. I would definitely recommend her!
Love the photos and can’t stop flicking through them. You are a super talented lady and I’m so so pleased and lucky that you were able to be our photographer. From the bottom of my heart thank you so so much xxxxx
Wow! Thank you so much. What can we say…we absolutely love them! A few tears of emotion seeing all the amazing moments that were captured…it certainly bought back all the special feelings and excitement from the day. You’ve absolutely nailed it as far as we are concerned and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for agreeing to be our photographer for our perfect day. You are simply wonderful.
It was lovely to meet you. I started looking at the gallery yesterday and was blown away by the photos! You are an absolute pro.
I knew from the first conversation with Jo that we’d made the perfect choice of photographer for our wedding. Jo made a real effort to establish what we really wanted from our photos and who were the important people to us, and as a result our photographs were a seamless part of our day. The results were amazing and it was also just so special to be able to enjoy a preview of our photos before our Honeymoon.
Ahhhh we absolutely love them thank you so much!! So happy with them :):):) we’ll be looking through them over and over again :):)
Jo is a natural with children. She had quite a challenge with 4 children of different ages, including a toddler and a camera shy 10 year old. Jo ensured she found out about the children and their needs beforehand and made for a really fun experience, even allowing us to choose the setting with her guidance. She was calm and fun and put them all at ease.
The photos are incredible – so natural – and we are so pleased with them. A perfect 70th present for Grandma who is delighted with the results.
Highly recommended.
I can’t stop looking at the brilliant pictures Jo took! she didn’t have an easy task trying to capture a cheeky 3 year old and a 6 year old who ran off with her sister’s wellies but nothing fazes Jo… I loved the pictures Jo captured 18 months ago and didn’t think they could be bettered but these ones are priceless and even better because they’re my 10 year anniversary gift for my husband. Jo is flexible, great with kids, has great ideas for venues and poses that work. and the whole experience was really good fun even for my husband who’s usually not keen on being photographed. I can’t recommend Jo highly enough. we’re so happy with the pictures and so glad I finally got around to organising it. thanks Jo. x
