Meet JLawrence Photography
Hi I'm Jesse
Hi, I am Jesse, thank you for your interest in my photography!
​​
With over 10 years experience as a professional photographer, I have photographed everything from events, to newborn babies to live music. Over the years I have tended to focus on Weddings and Live music, as well as photographing a lot of events. I have also been volunteering for Naomi & Jack's as one of their professional photographers.
​
My style is very much relaxed and easy going, with a layer of hard work and professionalism. This allows me to take natural photographs, capturing the action without taking over.
​
Based on the south coast in Hampshire, I am the recommended photographer for a number of venues in the area, but also travel across the country and internationally.
​​​
I am fully insured and also have a full DBS certificate, if required.
Get to know me
Animal Lover
I am a massive animal lover, especially of dogs, but realistically all animals.
​
If you have a pet at your wedding, I will have a wonderful time, and generally speaking I'm pretty good around the animals so we tend to become friends pretty quickly!
Inclusive

Inclusivity is very important to me - this means Everyone is welcome.
​
As someone who is mixed race, and very close to my LGBTQ+ community, I know how difficult it can be to feel like someone caters for your needs - I will work hard so that whatever is right for you, is what is right for the event.
Neurodivergent
I was recently diagnosed with Autism and ADHD - in reality I have been surrounded by people with different disabilities my whole life, so I understand the requirement to allow for different needs. From a work perspective, this has never been an issue, in fact I have found that it has really helped in my success.
Alternative
If you meet me in my BTS mode, you will know that I am an alternative person - I have always been into gothic style and alternative music. If you want to talk metal bands, tattoos and alt culture, I'm there all day long.
​
But, I also know that it isn't for everyone, and so my professional attire is smartly dressed.

Hannah Victoria Kenyon
I met my partner Hannah through music photography. She is a wonderful photographer with decades of experience, including weddings and live music. She is also an incredible content creator.
As such Hannah is my go-to photographer for second photography, or if a client wants a content creator.

Katrina, Bride
"Jesse did the photos of our wedding back in July this year and was so professional but approachable at the same time. Like most people we’re not the most comfortable with having our photos taken and wanted to make sure we spent most of the day with our friends and family rather than posing endlessly.
With the help of Jesse we managed to have this whilst still getting loads of amazing and natural photos too. Would recommend to anyone getting married or in need of a photographer for any other reason as he’s easy to talk to and really understands want you want from your day."
Sarah, Bride
“Jesse did the photos for our wedding in a April 2018 after we won his services in a Facebook competition.
Apart from being one of the nicest people in the country Jesse was super efficient, professional and absolutely dedicated to taking great photos and putting everyone at ease.
I can not recommend enough. If only we could of given him 10 stars! Thank you so much Jesse ”
Alana, Bride
Jesse gave us an extremely high level of service and some fantastic wedding photos which we will treasure forever! Highly recommend.
Harleigh-Mae, Bride
I would just like to say the biggest thank you to Jesse for our amazing wedding photos! My husband and I got married in November and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of our photos.
​
Right from the moment we were engaged Jesse was on hand to answer any photography questions we had.
​
Jesse made me feel comfortable in my own skin from our engagement shoot all the way to our wedding day. I would highly recommend Jesse and cannot thank him enough!!!
Charli, Bride
The whole day, Jesse was absolutely outstanding. He captured the essence of the day with very touching, emotional and beautiful photos.
​
His attention to detail and overall demeanour had not only my husband and I pleased, every single guest at our wedding made comment on how amazing he was. Never met someone so proud of his talent and so hardworking. Could not recommend him enough.
Emma, Bride
“Best wedding photographer! So friendly and really put us at ease on the engagement shoot.
Got such amazing photos of our wedding. Would recommend to everyone!”
Leanne, Bride
We knew Jesse was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. We had heard so many great things about him, it was an easy decision. He was amazing from start to finish. We did not really want many 'posey' photos, so he made sure he captured everything naturally.
When we got the photos, back, I remember not even seeing him take them! It was great. I would not hesitate to recommend Jesse to anyone.
Dawn, Bride
Jesse was our photographer at our wedding last Sunday at Balmer Lawn. He was amazing all throughout the day and night and we never knew he was there which was brilliant and very professional.
He made both Louise and myself feel very at ease even whilst getting ready with hair and make up. We have had a taster of some photos and they are very natural and captured the day brilliantly which is what we asked for.
We would highly recommend Jesse and look forward to our final photos and videos. 5* all the way. Thank you Jesse, love Dawn and Louise.
Lauren, Bride
If you only do one thing for your wedding, it must be to book Jesse for your photos! We are absolutely in love with our photos, and Jesse captured the whole day from getting ready to dancing until the end of the night.
Jesse takes such natural photos and makes everyone feel at such ease that he feels more like a wedding guest than a photographer!
We cannot recommend Jesse enough and the photos speak a thousand words about why you need him as your wedding photographer!
Picknmixx Mobile DJs, Birthday
Met Jesse tonight at a 30th party and we work with a lot of photographers. Jesse outshined all of them.
Jesse is without a doubt the best we have seen in over 300 events we have done.
Friendly, eye for detail and his commitment to getting the best photos is 2nd to none.
We cannot wait to recommend him to all our bookings and work together again soon.
Thanks Jesse.
Sam, Groom
We would highly recommend Jesse, he was amazing during the day, great to be around and he captured our day perfectly, so much more and better than we could of anticipated.
We had used Jesse about a year before for our baby photo shoot, again, he was really good with the little one and we had lots of amazing photos. Both my husband and I agree that out of all the services we had booked for the wedding, Jesse was the best value for the service we received.

John, Family Photoshoot
Jesse was absolutely fantastic with my family. He took many treasure d shots and was lovely to be around on the day of our photo shoot. Would thoroughly recommend him. In addition he was very efficient in organising dates, times and getting the prints to us.

I had my 2nd photoshoot with jesse i recomend him because he makes you feel very comfortable and he involves you with every bit of the shoot, he had very good manors and had great direction.
