First Things First....
Take a Deep Breath
The wedding morning has its authenticity, and it's different for each couple! For some, there are happy tears, while for others, it's about laughter and jokes. But all of them have one thing in common:
Butterflies in your stomach
Jacque did an absolutely amazing job as our wedding photographer! She captured all the important moments beautifully, and her presence was calm and professional throughout the day. We felt completely at ease while she took photos, and we even thoroughly enjoyed the little moment outside for our couple’s shoot—it felt natural and fun. The final photos are stunning and truly tell the story of our entire day, creating memories we will have forever. We are happy with her work and cannot recommend Jacque enough to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer!

I’m from South East Asia and my Husband is from Scotland descendants. On our wedding we were wearing two different outfits for ceremony in the morning and evening party. Our Photographer Jacque Prates was great, she was professional, she’s guided us how poses for the pictures also candid pictures and results was absolutely amazing. Everyone was amazed with the results. Thank you Jacque Prates

Hi Jacques this is Jane the mother of James the groom from Carr Bank on Friday 8th August. I am now aware that Emma and he spent a long time making their final choice of photographs from the vast selection you snapped. We all sat together on their sofa yesterday evening and watched the service which resulted in more happy tears from Mason, the ring bearer extraordinaire, and I. Thank you again. Kind wishes Jane x
Family Photos
I hate seeing faces with “WTF, this is so boring”.
But, having your family photos with me is the same as gathering everyone for a quick click, where people will actually laugh and think, “This photographer is crazy, but she is nice”.
Your whole family, all dressed up and gathered in one place – it’s a moment worth capturing. These are the people who matter most, and having beautiful photos together is something you’ll treasure for years.
Not every moment can be left to chance, and that’s okay.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Jacque. We aren’t the kind of people who take loads of pictures normally, but Jacque made us feel so comfortable and guided us so effortlessly on the day. Looking over the photos was amazing – Jacque was able to blend in so naturally around the venue, which resulted in so many lovely, natural photos. She was professional from start to finish, and we even got a lovely card from her before she left, which was so thoughtful – we loved it. We would 100% recommend Jacque to anyone looking for a photographer!
Couples Portraits...
This is your moment together – relaxed, joyful, and completely you. One thing my couples always tell me is how easy and effortless the portrait session feels. No awkward posing, no disappearing from your party for ages.
I love seeing how nervous my couples are at the beginning, and how happy and relaxed they become with my “action” strategy.
We keep it light, natural, and fun. Just a short time together is enough to create beautiful portraits you’ll love forever, while still letting you enjoy every moment of your day.
Where do I even start… Jacque was perfect from start to finish! We had 3 calls prior to the wedding which made us feel so at ease. Throughout the day Jacque was organised and made sure all the photos we had asked for were taken. So many of our guests commented on how lovely Jacque was and she really made our day special! We got our pictures back quickly and love them all! We cannot recommend Jacque enough! Thank you! 💖
The Reception
I will never be a fly on the wall — normally, flies on the wall are killed, and I am too young.
At this point, I am an extension of your party. No one will ever feel relaxed knowing they are being stalked by someone with a camera.
Let’s raise a glass to your love.
After the vows are spoken, we’ll be surrounded by those who matter most — hearts full, smiles wide, and a celebration to remember.
