A Little About Me
Hey, I’m Jess — the face behind Plymouth Photo Lounge.
I’m a Plymouth and Cornwall photographer, capturing weddings, portraits, branding sessions and events. My approach is relaxed and natural, I focus on real moments and creating a calm atmosphere that lets people feel completely at ease. Photography, for me, has always been about connection. I love capturing people as they are, no forced poses, no awkwardness, just genuine moments that tell your story.
I’m a 28-year-old Plymouth local with 8 years photography experience, who is passionate about creating meaningful memories and capturing your most authentic and special moments. After graduating with a degree in Commercial Photography from Plymouth College of Art in 2018, I went on to pursue a PGCert in Entrepreneurship. My love for travel has taken me to incredible destinations whilst working as a professional photographer aboard the renowned Queen Mary 2. When I am not doing photography I am working full time in my day job, getting lost in a good fantasy book or spending time with my loved ones.
Why am I Called Plymouth Photo Lounge?
When I rebranded to the name Plymouth Photo Lounge, I wanted it to reflect how I want people to feel when they work with me, calm, welcome, and comfortable. The word “Lounge” felt right. It’s a space to relax, to be yourself, and to enjoy the experience.
It’s also a nod to my dream of one day having my own creative studio here in Plymouth, a welcoming, community space filled with light and warmth.
Like many small business owners, life and COVID threw a few curveballs along the way, so I’m not quite at that point yet, but the dream is still alive.
My Approach to Photography
I’m not an intrusive photographer, I prefer to blend into the background and let moments happen naturally. Whether it’s a wedding in Cornwall, a family session, or a branding shoot for a local business, I focus on creating authentic, storytelling images that feel like you.
I want your photos to feel timeless, not staged, the kind you look back on and instantly feel something.
What I Love About Photography
Every person and story is different, and that’s what keeps photography exciting for me. I’ve been lucky to work with so many wonderful couples, families, and business owners across Plymouth and beyond.
The best part? Seeing someone light up when they see a photo that truly feels like them or their business. That moment of recognition, that’s why I do what I do.
