It was clear she is a very talented photographer and we loved her work. Throughout our wedding day we were amazed by Joanna's eye for detail and commitment to getting the perfect picture. She made us both feel comfortable and relaxed Infront of the camera and captured our special moments beautifully.

She was so efficient in the process and made sure there wasn’t the usual painful waiting around for photos, we didn’t feel like we missed out on any of our day to spend ages having photos, which can sometimes be the case! Joanna captured all the special moments of our day perfectly, and so many of our friends and family have commented on how lovely and natural the pictures are. We were so happy when we got our album through as the photos were even better than we could have imagined. We would recommend Joanna without hesitation for a streamlined and fuss-free photo experience. Thank you so much!!”"

KIND WORDS

"Joanna thankfully stepped in to shoot our wedding August 2021, after reorganising our big day a few times thanks to covid.

Joanna was happy to accommodate our request of a second shooter and they both slotted into our day and captured it perfectly. With so much happening, post ceremony you need someone firm but fair to pull the various friends and family groups together- Joanna does this with ease as looking back on the books we got 100% every shot we wanted and more.

The bride and groom shots were especially nice and Joanna took extra care to scope the venue out and identify 2-3 additional locations away from the hubbub of all what else was going on which gave us a bit of down time as side what it’s a lovely but very hectic day.

After care was brilliant with simply production of samples, photobook and loads of packages to suit every budget/need. Was super useful being able to share a link with wider family who then went on to purchase their own images and copies. Would 100% recommend Joanna to EVERYONE."

“ We originally had our wedding planned for May 2020 and had it postponed twice more, eventually married in September 2021. Every time Joanna was understanding and moved our booking with her, no fuss. Having to schedule an entire wedding three times over was stressful but having a supplier like Joanna made it so much easier and one less thing to worry about.
On the day, Joanna was brilliant and took so many wonderful photos. She bought her second photographer who was also amazing and together we had such magical pictures. Joanna even pre-planned when the sun would set, when it was nightfall and even particular weather/clouds that would make for brilliant photos. She organised our guests and made sure to get all the photos we wanted. Friendly, great communication and overall fantastic service. We loved every single one of our photos, to the point we simply have too many to choose from!
Thank you!“

“Joanna was very professional and so personable during the day of our wedding. We met Joanna at the open day of our venue at Southdowns Manor and she was so easygoing and great to talk to. Her work stood out for capturing the natural essence of everything a wedding entails. Because we booked before covid and then the sudden lockdown, She was very understanding and agreed to move the date for the following year in the summer. Luckily that day wasn’t booked. She checked in every now and then which helped us a lot with keeping track of what’s going on. The actual day she was amazing. The photos she took were all so natural. She captured everything from the loveliest moments to the funniest. She was very professional throughout. She had asked us to do a couple posed ones but 80% of the shots were natural and it was lovely to see everyone just be themselves during our big day. Thank you Joanna you were amazing and I couldn’t recommend you more. Anyone in the Hampshire area looking for an amazing photographer. Look for Joanna Cleeve. She is amazing “

She was so friendly from the outset and made the whole thing so easy! Her and her mum were a pleasure to have at the wedding.
As people who don’t like their pictures being taken, it was nice to have a friendly face behind the camera. And a second friendly face telling us where to stand!
The photos we have received have far surpassed what we were expecting. And we would recommend her to any couple looking for their wedding photographer."

Mel & Jon

"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Joanna for taking such lovely photos of our wedding day.
Joanna was brilliant. She was so organised before the Big Day that we really felt at ease, and she took the time to understand what sort of photos we wanted and what sort of wedding we were planning.
What I really appreciated was that Joanna was brilliant at letting the day flow. We were due to have ‘couples’ photos after the group photos, but she spotted that we were really keen to spend some time saying hello to our friends and family (and just enjoy the day!) that she suggested taking the ‘couples’ photos after dinner. I loved that Joanna was flexible to how the day was going.

If you’re looking for someone who can adapt to how the day is going, welcomes examples of photos that you would like to have, will capture moments in a natural and relaxed way, and is really really organised, then I recommend Joanna!
PS. She also goes the extra mile – lying down in a big puddle in order to get the right angle for a photo!!
Thank you for providing us with such lovely memories of our wedding day!"

We were looking for a mix of formal and informal shots of our day at Southdowns Manor and weren’t disappointed. We have some lovely images that we will treasure forever.
Our final chosen prints and USB stick were received in a beautiful hamper basket which was a really lovely touch. We also purchased a beautiful leather-bound album from Joanna - the really hard bit was just which images to choose from out of the enormous selection that we had!
Two years on we still have a large amount of Joanna’s photos on an electric photo frame so there’s always a different photo on display to make us smile.
Our 3-year-old son just loves watching the frame and taking about the people in the pictures and keeps asking when we can all get married again!!!"

Our framed pictures are brilliant and look lovely hanging in our hallway. Thank you to Joanna, her assistant and second shooter. xx"

"We found it quite hard choosing a wedding photographer but we are so glad we decided to go with Joanna. She photographed our wedding on the 1/07/2017 and captured our summer wedding perfectly. We have so many lovely pictures of the day to look back on. We weren't really sure what kind of photos we wanted but Joanna was able to give us lots of ideas which was a great help. She is very relaxed and easy going which suited us perfectly. Thank you very much!"

- Emma & Phil

"We chose Joanna to photograph our wedding on 06/10/17. Joanna and her mum Audrey went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly. Audrey even helped the groomsmen with their button holes! They both made us feel relaxed in front of the camera which definitely does not come naturally. We were over the moon with our photos � She provided a very efficient service and our photos were ready even before the specified time frame we agreed which was a lovely surprise. She captured our day perfectly from start to finish and we had so much fun looking through them. We decided to pay the extra and keep all the photos in the end as there were just too many brilliant ones to choose from!"

"Having Joanna capture our special day was just amazing!
She is such a professional, lovely and reassuring photographer!
We can't thank Joanna enough for all her effort before, after and on our wedding day, making us feel extremely relaxed, reassured and so accommodating throughout!
We would 100% recommend Joanna to anyone!
Thank you so much for capturing our day perfectly!!

"Joanna photographed our wedding on 11/11/17 and we chose her because her images speak for themselves - effortlessly beautiful. Joanna also chose a very talented second shooter (would recommend that package as it’s really worth it!) We also loved her low light work and given that we had a winter wedding we were definitely not disappointed having just had access to our gallery images online. We are very excited to now be choosing our prints and framed images to go in our hamper package with the USB and we’ll be sure to pop up a selection of our favourites! Thanks again for capturing our day so well - it really is something we’ll treasure forever. X"

Claire & Sean

"We picked Joanna as we liked the style of the photos on her website, and when we met her in person we felt she had the same idea as we wanted for the day - plenty of casual, relaxed photos but also the necessary group shots. For both our engagement session and wedding Joanna made us feel at ease in front of the camera (not something we are good at!) and the pictures are absolutely lovely. We have a fantastic representation of our wedding day and will definitely be arranging an album or photobook shortly to showcase all the details Joanna & her assistant caught on camera on the day."

Rachel & Nick

"- value for money - very prompt on arrival - creative with different shots and lighting - great attention to detail (my dress, bouquet position etc.) - happy to take the lead in large groups - confident in doing so - flexible throughout the day in terms of timings and to suit the weather conditions with the running of the day - confident at a venue Joanna has not photographed previously - Joanna easily and seamlessly worked with the videographer that she had not met before"

"Choosing a photographer was one of the headrest decisions to make when planning our big day as you want someone who will capture your whole day and you as a couple just perfectly. When I came across Joanna and her work I knew instantly she was the lady for the job and Joanna did not disappoint! Our pictures are amazing and capture our day just perfectly. Joanna was so helpful on the day, we were very unfortunate with the weather and it rained all day but Joanna went above and beyond and didn’t let the weather phase her! Even getting down on the ground at one point just to capture the perfect shot. Joanna is very professional and you can tell is so passionate about capturing your day just right. We now have some beautiful photographs to look back on and each one brings back wonderful memories! Thank you Joanna Cleeve x"

"Where to start...Joanna is just an all round fantastic photographer! We were lucky enough to have her photograph our special day and nothing was too much to ask. Joanna and her lovely mum Audrey made us feel so relaxed when having our photos taken and between them they chose such lovely areas in the venue and had some brilliant creative ideas. Not only did they photograph our day beautifully, they helped with so much more during the day and helped make it run so smoothly. Audrey even popped home to get me some flat shoes when my little feet had had enough of heels and I really can't see anyone else doing all that! Highly recommend them for photographing any special events that you may have coming up! Thank you so so much, you've been absolutely fantastic xx"

She listened to what we wanted, and was great at putting everyone at ease in front of the camera. She had some great suggestions for poses, and captured some wonderful moments, I know we will cherish these for ever. We can't wait to receive our prints! "

"Joanna is personable, friendly and has a very good eye for lighting for unusual shots. Her ideas are original and she has a very warm and polite manner yet managed to round up my rowdy family! Loving the shots we've had from her."

"SO incredibly happy to have booked Joanna for our wedding day. We spent months looking for a photographer who's style suited what we wanted. When someone tagged her page o a wedding group and I looked through her photos we just knew that's what we wanted.
The whole process she was helpful and informative despite me being a VERY stressed bride (and indecisive to the last minute!)
On the day, Joanna and her mum when above and beyond to make everything perfect. Not just taking beautiful photographs (which came back incredible quickly), but helping me carry things, helping with my pants and shoes and even toilet trips! A couple of absolute diamonds!
They also helped me and my husband feel very at easy in front of the camera (something we normally find really difficult)

I couldn't recommend Joanna enough if you're looking for someone to capture your special day! You absolutely won't be disappointed"

"Joanna is quite simply an absolute gem. We came across her through a friend who was also getting married just before us, and instantly fell in love with the pics she had on her website. The absolute deciding factor for us was the attention to detail in the lovely package you receive in the form of a vintage hamper. Anyone who takes such pride in their business and identity was defintely someone we wanted with us for our big day! We met with Joanna and were astounded by the amount of her work we were presented with to discuss and the looks and nods across the table between me and my now husband confirmed that we had defintely found our wedding photographer - and we weren't willing to settle for anyone less than perfect.
On the day, Joanna didn't disappoint - in fact we are eternally grateful for her exceptional eye for what makes a great photograph. The results are natural, slightly vintage and capture the day in a way we could only have dreamed of.
It was a genuine pleasure to have Joanna and Audrey with us on our wedding day. Seen through Joanna's lens I look every bit as beautiful and special as I felt on the day and if that's not the absolute essence of what I dreamed of, I don't know what is.
Thoroughly recommend, without hesitation. Book Joanna and you'll be glad of it forever!
Thank you Joanna and Audrey so much for everything. xx"

"I was lucky enough to come across Joanna on a wedding Facebook page and I was very nervous about choosing a photographer that would give me what I wanted a quality for my money. Right from the start Joanna is the loveliest lady to speak to and makes you feel at ease. She has gone above and beyond to find the style and moments I wanted captured by looking at my pinterest and asking me for examples. On the day I quickly realised my family weren't the best at posing especially me and my husband!! However Joanna and her mum helped us get into relaxed natural but beautiful poses that gave us amazing photos. I received my online collection last night at about 8 o clock which isn't even 2 weeks since the wedding and it holds nearly 2000 photos! They were all so beautiful I spent hours looking through and choosing my favourites for our usb and have already given them to Joanna so we can get them back as I absolutely can't wait! The poses and the natural captured images are all stunning I couldn't recommend Joanna more to anyone for her photography it was an absolute pleasure having her at our big day. Thanks Joanna for everything! X"

Carly & Jordan

"Joanna was our photographer for our wedding at Rivervale Barn, Yateley, Hampshire on 25/10/2016.
I cannot recommend her enough. She is incredibly friendly and worked well with everyone. From our first meeting through to the day, she was absolutely lovely. She made us feel incredibly calm and relaxed. Having such a huge family + guest list I knew I needed someone who wouldn't be afraid of this and she took it all in her stride. She was also very creative using the natural grounds of the venue to have photos poking out from behind the trees etc. These were some of our favourites and ones we wouldn't have thought of on our own.

Being the eldest of many many cousins and many of my friends having children, I knew I wanted someone who'd be able to grab snaps of them and know how to work with children photography wise and she got so many lovely ones that we'll cherish for years.

I cannot thank Joanna with her helpers (Mum and Friend) enough for their support on the day and for all the photos. We will always cherish them.
So if you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, I recommend Joanna whole heartedly."

Leanne & Josh

"Found Joanna through one of the groups she advertises in and really liked her style of work as i prefer the more natural photos with some poses to create the perfect variation. Well we were certainly not let down and i would have no problem recommending her to potential future clients! The whole day she made us feel at ease and if we was running out of time she would let us know so we were able to make sure we got all the shots we had wanted, she naturally fitted in with our wedding party and it was a pleasure having her with us on our special day! Cannot thank you enough Joanna, cant wait for the prints and to share with family and friends"

"Thank you Joanna for making our wedding day special and memorable. The service provided by Joanna was professional, friendly, personal, timely and cost effective.

Such a wonderful, personal service. Joanna was so helpful and friendly and she replied so promptly to all and any queries. She was unobtrusive on the day, but organised enough to make sure we got all the photos we'd asked for. The finished photos are just perfect, really good quality and such a wide range, from posed to artistic to natural. We're so pleased we asked Joanna to take our wedding photos, we loved the finished product, the hamper was a really lovely touch and we would highly recommend her for any event.
