⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Experience — More Than Just a Photo Session!
BertS681,Apr 25, 2026

5.00Where do I begin? Working with Jade was one of the highlights of our trip to Oxford. We were visiting our son, who is studying abroad at this incredible university, and wanted to capture the magic of that special time together — and she delivered beyond our expectations. From the very first moment, she was warm, kind, and genuinely precious in every sense of the word. She has a natural gift for making people feel completely at ease in front of the camera. What truly set this experience apart was that it was so much more than a photo session. She took us through Oxford’s most iconic and breathtaking locations, weaving in stories, history, and little-known details that brought the city to life in a way we never could have discovered on our own. We weren’t just getting our photos taken — we were being given a private tour by someone who clearly loves this city deeply. The photos themselves are absolutely priceless. Every image is a treasure — perfectly and thoughtfully composed. They capture not just a place, but a moment in our family’s story that we will cherish forever. If you are visiting Oxford and want to bring home something far more meaningful than a souvenir from a gift shop, book a session with Jade, without hesitation. You will not regret it for a single second. We are so deeply grateful for these beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. 🩷

5.00Took my daughter for a fun Halloween shoot. Jade was amazing and really put her at ease and got some great photos. Would highly recommend her with children as it seems second nature to her dealing with them.
Beautiful Cotswold photoshoot in Stow-on-the-Wold

5.00We had such a lovely photoshoot with Jade in the stunning Cotswold destination, Stow-on-the-Wold! She was professional and fun, especially with my little one, who is 17 months! Jade really did wear 2 hats as entertainment for my daughter and as a photographer. She did an brilliant job snapping candid moments and capturing our natural smiles, rather than awkward posing which was so much fun, as we went to the door that inspired Tolkien for the Doorway to Moria in Lord of the Rings. Not only cool to see, but made for a beautiful setting for our shoot. The finalised photos are honestly so gorgeous. Very grateful to have these memories with my daughter photographed.

5.00Jade provided an exceptional service for me when I was new to the surroundings of the beautiful Oxford city. She’s not only one of the most cheerful, kindest photographers I’ve met but also gave me lots of time to take in the iconic architecture and beauty around me. There was A LOT of laughter, professionalism and skill demonstrated in her service and I have very fond memories of Oxford now because of this experience. Thank you Jade! 😍

Wonderful Family Photo Session in Oxford

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Jade in Oxford. She not only took stunning family photos but also gave us a lovely tour of the city, including Harry Potter filming spots and the place that inspired C.S. Lewis to write Narnia. The photos perfectly captured both the beauty of Oxford and the joy of our time there. She made us feel at ease, and her talent shines through in every shot. To top it all off, she even sent us a list of great restaurants and places to explore after our shoot! We can't recommend her highly enough!
I had a magical experience in Oxford and have the gorgeous pics to prove it! Thanks Jade.

5.00Jade was a consummate professional. She navigated our journey around Oxford finding idyllic locations for my photos. She ensured lighting was great and gave me tips on how to pose. She also shared knowledge about the buildings and the area as we walked around to the various locations. Jade was friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly a wonderful photographer. I would not hesitate to book her again in future.
Dream photographer in dreamy place!
