Blue Jay Photography Full Description
My style is allot like me; colourful, romantic at heart and buckets of fun! My portfolio reflects a modern mix of documentary and romantic style and i've been capturing weddings and special events for nearly six years! My style is often described as 'documentary' or 'reportage' - which basically means I hide in the background, capturing moments as they happen naturally! I specialise in bold striking colours and artful black and white photography, giving you a timeless collection of beautiful and fun photographs, for you to cherish your happy memories for years to come. If this sounds like what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, get in touch for a no obligation bespoke quote! ​

Absolutely Blown Away!
We searched and searched for a photographer via other recommendations and online for a while and none really took our fancy, before we came across Blue Jay and new instantly she was the one we wanted to capture our special day and we booked a package straight away but then decided to upgrade. It was the best decision we made going with Ajay, she was amazing from start to finish and cannot recommend Ajay enough. Having had Ajay photograph us on our wedding day I can honestly say we were not disappointed, the photos are absolutely amazing and blew our expectations, especially at such a great price, she really is amazing. We absolutely love all the photos Ajay did and were captured so beautiful. We had a great and fun experience having our photos done and Ajay made us feel so comfortable and at ease and most of the time we didn't feel like we have a photographer there half of the time! All the family and friends commented on how lovely Ajay was and how she made everyone feel so comfortable. All of our photos were amazing quality and could see the creativeness behind each one which Ajay captured our day so beautifully and naturally. If you are looking for a fun, easy going yet professional photographer Ajay is the one, you will not be disappointed. Ajay thank you for capturing our special day and making the pictures so magical. We honestly could not have asked for a better photographer. Sam & Leon

creative, fun, natural and just beautiful!
"We can not recommend Ajay enough, anyone looking for a photographer in the Midlands this is the girl you must book with!!! Having had Ajay photograph us on our Wedding day I can honestly say that our photos are absolutely incredible and way better than we could have expected especially considering that it was at such an affordable cost. I am normally very picky with photos and did not expect much to avoid disappointment but I've been really taken by surprise as I absolutely love every single one of them and so does my husband. We had such a great and fun experience having our photos done, we felt comfortably at ease and not awkward at all as we did worry about this before hand since we've not had a photographer focus on us before like this but she was very professional yet fun. All of our photos are very good quality, creative, fun, natural and just beautiful!!! We also could not believe how quickly we had our photos sent to us and to top that off we even had a follow up message to make sure we have received everything and are happy. "

As soon as I met Ajay I knew I made the right decision.
"I initially did not want a photographer due to being so self conscious. A family friend told me that I would regret it so I caved. As soon as I met Ajay I knew I made the right decision. She is so professional and is incredibly talented. I viewed my photos today and they are better than what I could of imagined. Thank you so much Ajay."

AJay is very warm
"We were lucky enough to win an engagement shoot with Blue Jay, she's very warm which is exactly what we both needed (both very nervous) we had a lovely variety of picture locations which also helped our nervousness! We are both really happy with the pictures, and Blue Jay was happy to support in getting some wonderful pictures that we can't wait to put up on our wall! Thank you so much"

She went above and beyond for us
"Blue Jay did our photography at pendrell hall. she was amazing we got married during covid 19 and she did her best to meet all the needs and requests. Our pictures are amazing she captured some beautiful moments of our day and her attention to detail was spot on and I'm a very picky person! She went above and beyond for us and the pictures reflect this. I will most certainly be recommending her she is the sweetest person I've every met."

Ajay helped to make us and our guests feel relaxed and comfortable.
"As older newly weds Ajay helped to make us and our guests feel relaxed and comfortable. She took so many beautiful photographs, during the civil ceremony and throughout the reception. Along with David and myself, all of our family and friends were impressed with Ajay's friendly manner, and the variety of photographs that she took. They have created special memories for everyone."
