FAQs

Do you only photograph queer people?

No! I love capturing all love stories but as a queer person myself, photographing lgbtq+ lovers holds a special place in my heart.

I have accessibility needs, how can you help?

I am always happy to do everything in my power to help make wedding days/ photoshoots as accessible as possible. Get in touch and we can discuss it together to make sure everything is accessible as possible.

Do you retouch your photos? Will you alter my body?

No. I will never alter anyones body. As someone who has worked very hard to love their body I am now very passionate about showing others that sort of care too. I will champion your body as it is now. How it carries you through life and lets you experience joy and love whilst also understanding we live in a fat phobic world that is sometimes hard to bear. I will however remove the orange juice stain from your shirt or the bit of mud on your trousers if it is needed!

Can I bring my dog along to the session?

Please do. The more dogs the merrier!

When will I get my photos?

After your wedding/photoshoot you will get some sneak peeks with 24-48hours and your full gallery will be delivered digitally within 3-5 weeks.

What should I wear?

I am always happy to help give outfit ideas as this really influences the vibe of the photographs. Pinterest is a great tool for this! But most importantly you should wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident!

I want a family session but don’t want my child’s face shown/ them to be on social media at all. Is this okay?

Consent is something I am passionate about and will never share any photos that you haven’t consented to, especially when children are involved. I have photographed many families who don’t want any photos shared at all! It is never a problem.

Can I post your photos on social media?

Yes please! And crediting me as the photographer helps my business greatly!

Throughout the whole process she listened to our requests and was friendly, warm and approachable. She blended in seamlessly with our wedding party and captured breath taking wedding photographs that were ‘in the moment’. Within hours she had preview images ready for us- a beautiful thing to look at the morning after your wedding as husband and wife. Our images came through quickly and they are beautiful.

“Jerrika was incredible from the get go and we were so happy to have her as our wedding photographer. She was professional, kind, and fun to be around, and made me feel so at ease in the moments when the nerves were getting to me. She seemed to really notice when we needed a moment to ourselves and navigated it wonderfully – and the way she candidly captured our love has blown us away. We are absolutely obsessed with the sneak peaks she’s sent us already. 100% worth booking Jerrika – thank you for being an incredible part of our special day.”
