Jody Sutton Photography Reportage & editorial style Photography for Weddings and Children & Family photo shoots. Based in Wiltshire covering UK and beyond

After graduating from the Arts Institute Bournemouth with a BA Hons degree in photography I went on to work for Insanity; a media talent management agency based in central London. There I was promoted to Creative Director managing photographers, stylists and make-up artists as well as managing production for photo shoots for leading publications, PR clients and celebrity commissions. Although I LO

VED working in this industry I made the decision to focus solely on photography as it’s my passion and where my heart has always lied. Shooting weddings, christenings, babies, family portraits and occasions is such an honour and I always feel privileged to be a part of people’s celebrations and special days. I pride myself on unobtrusive, honest and personal images that carry an editorial context. Thanks to my background with managing celebrity shoots I can bring my experience of working with make-up artists and set designers to help create the desired outcome for your shoot day. This is particularly important when working with brides in the lead up to their weddings. I insist on meeting with clients to discuss their visions and then work with the other vital team members on the day to ensure this is carried through. Allowing you to trust in me to achieve what you envisaged. I enjoy capturing individuality and style be it a bride’s heirloom jewellery or dress, table centrepieces and flowers or the guest’s reactions to the best man speech! All of these elements are the reflection of the couple and should be recorded for you to reminisce over and share with friends and family for years to come.

When a member of the wedding party (cough, cough the groom) hates having their pic taken but gets the photos back and actually likes 1 or more pics I feel like I’ve won the lottery of self reward. It’s not the top lottery, postcard lottery is way better as you might get a Z lister knocking on your door with a giant cheque, but it’s definitely a close second 🥰

Hello, it’s been a minute since I posted. I’ve not exactly been feeling deflated by the news over the weekend, just a bit exhausted by a busy couple of months & now more lockdown fun 🙄

So as lockdown has kinda scuppered my November mini shoot plans I’ve decided to offer you something I never usually do.

Mini shoots for me are never available as gift vouchers however I’m feeling that if the interest is high enough I would love to offer a limited number of mini shoot gift vouchers for a session on one of 2 days after Christmas. This means you can buy the voucher as a Xmas present for the recipient to then use on one of the days I offer.

They will be allocated on a first come first serve basis with 20 sessions (10 on each day) available. Dates are tbc dependent on interest & numbers but are likely to be between Christmas and New Year in a Swindon/ Cotswolds location. They will also have to follow maximum number of people as Covid guidelines allow.

Mini shoot options as follows...

•£95 20 min shoot 5 images

•£135 40 min shoot 9 images

DM me for vouchers which will be emailed as PDF’s for you to print at home.

I can’t wait to hear from you all 💛💛💛

More from Thursdays gorgeous wedding. Autumnal tones kick ass every time 🍁

hall was one of the most stunning venues I’ve ever worked at. The time of year made it even more wow.

When one of your fav brides messages after seeing some maternity pics you’ve popped on social media enquiring about a similar shoot for them and with 48 hours you’re out in a field at golden hour snapping away, that’s what I’m here for! Thank you for trusting me with yet another special moment in your life. What a babe of a mum to be you are! I can’t wait to meet baby P 🥰💛🥰

I got to photograph the wonderful little Jaxson a couple of weeks ago just ahead of his first birthday. Despite a tumble on the rocky road 5mins in 🤦🏻‍♀️(he was fine as you’ll see in the pics) we had such a lovely shoot. Sometimes kids of this age and probs up to 3 really aren’t up for the shoot. It’s cool if they’re not we’ll make some magic in between the chaos and tantrums 🥴. Jaxson however was a complete pro, as were mum and dad 😍

A friend said to me this week that I must be so proud of my business and how the me of 7 years ago when I officially started Jody Sutton Photography would look at how far I’ve come with such pride.
Weirdly I hadn’t thought of it like that before. I mean I constantly think about how much better I need to be at all aspects of my work but never how well I’ve done. If it was a mate who had done the same I’d be giving them high fives. I say it all of the time but I’m so lucky to do what I love. I love working with people. I love being my own boss. I love being trusted with amazing moments in peoples lives. I do not love the anxiety dreams or dread of fooking something up though as I can’t blame it on Dave in HR. Here’s to looking back in another 7 years and hoping to be beaming in more pride 💛

These two were a complete delight to photograph. It made me laugh because they were worried about how awkward they’d be, they couldn’t have been better subjects. What’s awesome is that if you like each other chances are we’re going to get some gorgeous pics much like we did here. 💛
Thank you for being so great and trusting me

Happy Anniversary lovely humans I hope 2020 isn’t quashing your celebrations too much. So many lovely moments from your day but my two most memorable & favs were Simon being THE sweetest groom with all of the most genuine emotion as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. Secondly was us chasing the sunset for those golden hour pics. There were some not so subtle stinging nettle sting souvenirs for our efforts but I think we can all agree it was worth it 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😍💛😍

7 years ago our lovely friends & got married. They asked me to do the photos for their day. I was so up for it and remember planning meticulously for it because I didn’t want to f**k it up! I’d only done one very small number of photos for a friends wedding previously but this was to be my first prep to first dance. Without wanting to sound like a big headed twonk I did a great job. I look back at that day with such pride and I still love the photos. Yeah I’m more experienced now, have a better editing style (I think 🥴) and know how a wedding day runs but what I love about these pics is I didn’t really know what I was doing I just wanted to capture everything for them.

You’ll have to ask these guys if they were happy with their pics but we’re still friends so they couldn’t have been that bad could they 🤣
Thanks guys every wedding I’ve got since your day is thanks to you giving me a chance.

Happy 7 years to you 💛

Surround yourself with people that make you glow inside and out!

You know that stuff you tell your mates and how you build them up, don’t forget to do it to yourself to!

We put so much pressure on ourselves; must lose weight for my wedding, I must get rid of my baby weight, why don’t I look like this etc etc. I’m so guilty of this, I ate ryvita for months before my wedding day 10 years ago because I didn’t want to look bad on my wedding day 🙄🙄like I cared while I was laughing with my favourite people and dancing my arse off all night!

These wonderful accounts remind me of this daily: (the latter who incidentally emphasised the babes in this pic with her make up talent).

I loved meeting this lovely family a couple of weeks ago. Baby H was a dream & loved his little photoshoot. I allow 1-2hrs for my newborn shoots but if babe is feeling like Gigi Hadid/ David Gandy (delete as appropriate) that day then I work fast to capture them and we can get lots of lovely shots as we know often that mood can change quite quickly and they can become slightly less compliant.

Equally if babe isn’t in the mood, which any photographer will tell you happens a lot, we have time to soothe & settle babe or worst case scenario we call time and reschedule. I’m a mum I get it! Kids don’t care if you’ve got a Pinterest board of how the shoot should be and that’s fine by me. Life would be boring if it was all straight forward all the time hey 2020! 💛
