JENNY MACARÉ


NOT JUST A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER – SINCE 2012

Weddings are changing. The past few years of perfection and comparison has been intense. The world seems to be stepping away from unrealistic expectations. Returning to feeling, depth, analogue and simplicity. From smaller celebrations to multi day at home parties. Couples are planning Weddings and photography that suits them.

If you are keen to avoid the pressure of “must haves” and simply gather your most important supporters who have helped you along the way. I am here for you.

A photographer and artist who reads energy and catches moments without asking you to repeat.

Glimmers, have enriched my life for as long as I can remember – photography is my way to share them. Check my galleries to see what I see within a Wedding.

A Wedding Photographer with 14 years experience reading behaviour at over 300 Weddings. Over 2 decades working in the photography industry. A degree in photography from the studios and darkrooms of NUA. My first job out of Uni, a paparazzi agency All Action, led to OK! Magazine picture desk. I’ve created images, styled, bid over, manipulated, laid out in editorials, and can decipher in seconds what will hit = move you = sell and what won’t. Translating artistic and editorial knowledge into your Wedding photography coverage.

I live the day with you, recognise and catch images that make you draw breath as years pass. Shooting with empathy, insight and creativity. I always return to characters, the feeling and atmosphere of your Wedding day. I love this work and take on a limited number of Weddings per year to be able to fully immerse myself in each one, providing you with the kind of imagery you will be grateful for as life moves on.

Shooting a Wedding is like nothing else, the fleeting speed, emotion, responsibility, (recording and attending). After navigating huge shifts in the industry, burn out, Covid times, seeing trends come and go. My belief remains constant: What really matters are your promises to each other, and preserving the memory of how your day felt for you to share with future generations..

HAPPY PLACE

OUTSIDE

Up high, A circular hike, a Peak District edge, a Lake District trail, a cliff edge overlooking the sea. Wind, light. A roaring fire at the end of a long day.

STILL NOT OVER

Valencia

Our trip felt like a dream. Also swimming the crystal clear waters of Cala Nova and Our Skye road trip have been top memory makers – Next visits to Seville, Iceland and Japan.

INSPIRATIONS

PARR

Martin Parr, is a huge inspiration of mine, his vibrant, tongue in cheek, playful and ironic compositions, observations of human idiosyncrasies, vision of colour and approach to real life is something I look to in every Wedding.

I LOVE YOUR

People

Finding out what connects you. Witnessing your friends showing up to support you on your Wedding day is THE BEST.

“I cannot stop looking at them 😍 you’ve absolutely captured the heart and soul. “

MY THOUGHTS ON

HOW I SHOW UP

The most important thing is celebrating your love.

I believe your photography should feel like an extension of your reality, not staged.

My images are recorded for longevity with emotional intelligence and kindness. I look for different stories within each wedding led by my own life experience, years in the industry and relationships with those in attendance.

The art of noticing, reading nuanced feelings, emotions, connections, unspoken cue’s, noticing and listening to all of your loved ones as well as yourselves. The small details that make me smile (glimmers). I know these are the images that will mean more to you, and be a portal back to the day after 20 years.

Your suppliers behaviour hugely affects the atmosphere and your memories of the day. I don’t film myself at Weddings or use your Wedding as my content reel. Your day deserves my complete focus. Always switched on, present and noticing all of the small things that will become bigger in time.

Arriving with empathy to deliver creative imagery with great care. Whatever your celebration looks like.

I love to travel throughout the UK and world to photograph Wedding days. Do get in touch for a chat.

All those little things that become the big things.
