Testimonials

I found it so hard initially finding someone who offered the ideal package for our wedding and I really never thought it would all come together so well given it was all planned during a pandemic but you played a huge part in ensuring our day was perfect. I was so pleased when I came across 1st Impressions. From the beginning you were so lovely & thorough and on our big day you were absolutely amazing! You have such a welcoming character and nothing was too much trouble. I honestly cannot thank you enough for capturing our day so beautifully & going above and beyond to ensure we had all the photos we wanted. The care and passion you have for your job is so evident. You have given us so many beautiful photos of us all that we can treasure for a life time. There are some extra special photos in there that are priceless & they just melt my heart! Please believe me when I say you're amazing at what you do & from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for everything. P.s. it was so lovely you hand delivered our photos in such a bespoke way! The packaging was beautiful & the wood for the usb and case is gorgeous. Thank you thank you thank you Jemma for everything! x x x x

Absolutely thrilled with the photos Jemma took on our couples shoot. Jemma tried her best to make us feel more comfortable in front of the camera in order to provide us with some wonderful, natural images. She happily discussed locations and ideas for photos before the session and offered some suggestions of poses she thought would work well for us. Jemma also suggested trying out some sparkler photos, this is something I have always wanted to do and it gave us some lovely, unique photos which I am very happy with. Highly recommended - Jemma is a wonderful photographer.

Received our wedding photos hand delivered by Jemma last week which came on a memory stick in a lovely little box with a lovely hand written note from Jemma which made it that more special. I can't thank you enough Jemma for capturing our special day in the way you did. You captured everything I asked for and more; we're so pleased with our pictures. All our guests thought you were brilliant, such a lovely kind lady. Would definitely recommend her for your wedding day or even just a special occasion she really is a lovely lady and a brilliant photographer. I can't wait to book her for another special occasion. Thanks again Jemma. Love Mr and Mrs Rainbow x

Just received my photos of my bubs 1st birthday cake smash and splash and they are amazing! We are so in love with them! She was so patient and really captured the enjoyment of each moment! We all felt super comfortable during the photoshoot and even before we met Jemma - her communication was amazing. And the turn around time was super quick and importantly as she promised. I cannot recommend her work enough!

Now this is why we love you Jemma 🤗 Every last detail from booking the shoot to the finished CD with a personalised message is special and you really do go out of your way to make everything perfect. When I first received the package on Saturday and opened it, I was filled with excitement and then I read the personal message on the inside and it brought a tear to my eye I was honestly touched. I then gathered the family round to have a look at the photos, we were smiling at how stunning they all are. You have really done an amazing job and we are grateful to have such a lovely photographer, looking forward to seeing you in January for newborn cuddles 🙂xThank you xxxx

Jemma was so patient and professional when doing my dogs 10th birthday shoot and ensured we had some sneak peaks for the actual birthday itself along with a personalized CD of photos once complete which came out better than imagined. She managed to put my dog at ease and let her wander and even provided her with water after all the treats! Will definitely be using Jemma again for other photoshoot needs in the future

I have used 1st Impressions for 2 photo shoots for my daughter and 1 couple shoot for me and my girlfriend. On all 3 occasions the professionalism was wonderful. Managing to control my daughter to get her into the poses to take some truly memorable photos, keeping her in good spirits and by the end of it she and my daughter were very good pals. With the couple shoot, she knew precisely what she was doing and her experience and ability was very evident to make some really beautiful photographs. Quick to return the completed sets, at a great price too. If I could give more than 5/5, I’d certainly do so!

I received my wedding photos yesterday... and what can I say- they are wonderful, every single photo I loved (god knows how i'll choose which ones to frame!) Jemma was really wonderful throughout the day- staying later than she was meant too as our DJ turned up late so she could get the first dance photos! Everyone at the wedding commented on how friendly and lovely Jemma was. I'm over the moon with our photos and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a photographer. x

So so pleased with our family photoshoot that Jemma did. We all felt so comfortable at her studios and she spent hours tirelessly with two very demanding 7 month and 6 yr old boys. The result was amazing just love our pics. Surely am coming back for more.. xx

Jemma attended our wedding in August 2014 and I asked her to photograph the reception, we were thrilled with the images she captured! Her artistic and creative side made her an excellent choice for posed photos, and her quiet respectful demeanour allowed her to capture natural shots of the wedding party and our guests. She is dedicated and her love for photography is evident in her work. I love looking back through her pictures and reliving the day.

Jemma has been photographing our daughter since she was 3 months old. Her unobtrusive photojournalistic approach has ensured our daughter is always captured at her most natural and is happy and content throughout the shoot. Jemma has an eye for capturing the best backgrounds and we have many beautiful photos of our daughter alongside flowers, by water and in the woods. This not only makes for beautiful natural photos but also captures the essence of our daughter as she explores her surroundings. One of Jemma's real talents as a photographer is capturing 'in the moment' candid photographs that can often be lost within the more traditional staged photos. Our daughter is now almost 2 years old and through Jemma's photography and commitment to each photo shoot those precious baby and toddler years and the true beauty and spirit of our daughter have been captured forever.

All the photos from three months old of my granddaughter have been very very natural, also say photos she took of a wedding where I was a guest and so so natural again. Just catches those magic moments so naturally and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Jemma for any kind of photos from animals, nature, people etc etc

Jemma's photographs of our wedding were beautiful. After realising our wedding will be a little tricky for 1 photographer, Jemma stepped in at short notice and did not disappoint. Her shots were truly amazing and we were incredibly grateful to have her there. The speed in which she edited and sent them was also fantastic. Couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you!!

Your time, effort and eye for detail is amazing, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us to capture some amazing memories of our wedding day. I think one of our very favourite photos from the day is the black and white photo of the groomsmen, with only blue colour standing out. We love it!
