It’s fair to say, that is quite important that you choose the right photographer for your wedding day & part of that is knowing more about who they are - so here’s some bits about me!

For as long as I can remember, I have been OBSESSED with love stories, romance and commitment to one another. So it made perfect sense for me to match my two passions, photography & love, which has resulted in me creating Jo-Anna Billington Photography.

I’d described my style as relaxed & natural documentary wedding photography with intimate & romantic couples portraits that captures the essence of your love story. I opt for gentle prompts over posing, focusing my attention on the natural, heartfelt reactions between you & your partner.

I live with my wonderful OH, Aaron, & our stunning cat, Prince Paddy in Wakefield. My home is my sanctuary & we are slowly transforming our home and garden into a space we want to live forever, filled with photos of our travels & life together, plants and so much love. I’m trying (really hard) to create an allotment garden, but on rainy days you’ll find me curled up with a romance novel or baking in the kitchen - my oat & raisin cookies are phenomenal if I do say so myself!

You can often find me traveling about the UK, Europe or further afield. Some of my favourite spots in the UK is Keswick in the Lake District, Edinburgh, Snowdonia National Park & Whitby on the East Coast. I’m excited to be heading down to Cornwall this Summer to celebrate some super special birthdays! I love to experience new places & cultures - recently I have visited Morocco & Amsterdam and in 2023 I went on an epic inter-railing adventure around Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary & Czech Republic. What can I say, old Churches, historic cities & breathtaking scenery call to me. We have plans for more adventures around America and Asia in the future - obviously with my trusty Canon in hand! If you love my work & are planning an epic wedding abroad, I would love to hear from you!

It needs to be said that I am a bundle of energy. People have referred to me as a Duracell bunny! You can be guaranteed that on your big day, I will be the bridesmaid you didn’t realise you needed (& hopefully we will become forever friends)! I will be your no1 hype queen and endeavour to make you feel as special and magical as you are, putting you at complete ease in front of the camera!

I would love to create magic with you, so drop me a message & let’s get chatting!

Much love,

Jo-Anna x
