  I couldn't be more pleased with our experience, and most importantly, the exquisite photographs we received from Jay! My husband and I wished to book a photo session highlighting a number of London's iconic backdrops, and Jay was eager and enthusiastic to offer some fantastic ideas from the very start. He acted as a professional photographer (and friendly tour guide), as he expertly whisked us through a number of locations. It was such a wonderful experience. He put us immediately at ease, and the session felt effortless and wonderfully fun! We never felt rushed - in fact he stayed with us past our session time to make sure we'd gotten all the requested shots. And what a thrill to have the finished product just days after we'd completed our shoot. The photographs were brilliantly composed and beyond gorgeous! I cannot wait to share these stunning photos with our friends and family. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jay at every stage of the process. A consummate professional and true artist. I would recommend Jay Rowden Photography a million times over!

  Jay is a brilliant, creative and skilled photographer, and also an absolute pleasure to work with. He has shot all of my fashion shoots for my business and understands exactly what is needed, he makes everyone feel at ease and the photographs he takes look natural and effortless, as well as highly professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

  I can't recommend Jay highly enough as your wedding photographer. I worked with him many years ago, in his previous life as a TV producer and knew he was both highly talented and also a lovely person. When I showed his portfolio to my fiancé she was blown away; and he delivered in spades on our wedding day. His style is to capture the beautiful moments in a documentary fashion, the fun, the laughs and the love around the room. His work with us (the bride and groom) was to suggest short precise notes of direction that mostly aimed to encourage us to be ourselves and forget about the camera. He is a charming guy and all our guests and aunties commented on what a lovely chap he was. He worked super hard throughout a long day from the morning preparations, make-up and hair etc. to well into the night and the dancing. He sent a few tasters out a couple of day after the wedding and then we got the delivery of over 800 final edited images to download about 2 weeks after the wedding. We can't thank Jay enough for capturing perfectly our best day ever.

  Jay photographed our wedding and we can't express in words how incredible the photos he captured turned out to be. We loved having Jay around us on our special day, with his calm and positive energy, which made it even more special. It was also impressive how he managed to blend in to capture these authentic frames of us which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We knew Jay would be the perfect person for the job as we had read so many amazing reviews online. Being a videographer/photographer myself, it was astonishing to watch him go above and beyond to create an atmosphere in which he was able to capture us in our most natural ways. It was truly beautiful and my wife and I could not be happier. Jay's passion for his craft was obvious and what he captured for us won't just go in an album but will be framed on the wall. He's one of the most incredible people we got to meet and therefore we can't recommend Jay enough! Thank you Jay for everything!

  Jay was amazing. I couldn't recommend him enough. He was amazing in the lead up to our day, captured every moment perfectly, and was charming throughout. We had a small and intimate wedding. He struck a perfect balance between making sure he was there to photograph all of our special moments, while also making sure all the guests felt comfortable when he was snapping away. Thanks again Jay.

  Jay did the photography for our Annual Flagship Corporate event in London - and WOW - fabulous photos! It's a really important event for us, and we needed to record it for future promotional material and our website. Jay was professional and friendly (both important factors with events) from start to finish. He asked what photos we wanted, and went beyond what we asked for. He had some photos to us within 3 hours, for us to use on Social Media, and the rest within 24 hours. Fantastic service! I would recommend Jay for Corporate event photography - however, I also checked out his website, and the photos of weddings, families, and social events are also fantastic. I am glad we found Jay! Thank you again - we are beyond pleased!

  We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Jay! Photos capture the memories that last a lifetime when it comes to your wedding day, which is precisely what we got with Jay! I grew up in a village called Westerham, so from a young age, I knew where I wanted to get married and have the wedding reception. Once we had our venue finalised, we started asking around for wedding photographers. Our venue gave us a few options, and so did a few of our friends, but it wasn't until we started googling wedding photography at our venue that Jay's name came to the front of our minds. His photos from other weddings were sensational, and I knew I wanted his fun and candid style to capture our day. When Jay and I had our first phone call, we immediately hit it off. He also managed to win over my mum (A hard lady to please). Jay also suggested that James and I go to meet him in person before the big day so we can get to know each other and ease into the day and talk about a few must-have photos (The posing ones/confetti and shot by the lake) On the day of the wedding, Jay was on-site with my bridesmaids photographing us as we got ready. I was nervous that day, yet you can only see the joy on my face from the photos. At the church, Jay captured some uniquely personal looks between James and myself that I thought would only be in my memories. During the reception, whilst Jay was with us, he had a second photographer capturing our wedding guests and the entertainment, which was a nice touch to the day. Having Jay sit in the wedding breakfast means he captured all the funny moments from our guests' tables we didn't get to see. It was also Jay's suggestion that we have a minute to ourselves and take a few photos. This was an excellent way to make our day special and last longer. Jay was also kind enough to stay until the end and make the party continue, especially with the photos of my friends and me at the end of the night. Jay felt like one of our wedding guests, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much, Jay. You captured our day perfectly!

  Jay picked up our last minute plea for help, as another photographer cancelled on us just 2 weeks before the wedding. We couldn't be any happier that the cancellation lead us to Jay! From the very first communication, Jay was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We had a small and intimate wedding (17 people total) and Jay knew exactly how to manage the room. Jay hit the perfect balance between capturing those candid moments as a "silent observer", and engaging with guests on a personal level due to the small engagement. We definitely thought of Jay as one of the guests rather than "just the photographer". Jay's photos are of course stunning and his after-care is fantastic, continuing to engage with us and support through the album purchase (when we finally decide which photos to include!). HIGHLY recommend Jay.

  Jay was the photographer for our wedding in London. Not only did he take some awesome photos, he was incredibly professional, friendly and completely unobtrusive on the day. We were one of the unfortunate couples who had to postpone our plans during COVID and there was a lot of last minute chopping and changing due to the constant changing of government guidance (I.e. various and ever changing restrictions on large gatherings … at least for those of us outside no. 10). Jay was incredibly accommodating and understanding throughout all of that process. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
