I cannot thank all my clients who voted for me in The Wedding Industry Awards for 2018 enough! Unfortunately I didn’t reach high enough scores for Regional Finalist but I was so so close to qualifying with being on average 0.4% off and I have you all to thank for that 🙂 I can’t believe how close I was after looking at your scores and reading your amazing feedback! Thank you so much as it means the world to me!

Joanna is very professional, calm and friendly she made me and my husband very relaxed and helped the day run smoothly. Since having Joanna photograph my wedding 2 friends have requested her details even though she is not local to where we are. Nothing was to much hassle and her communication was great throughout. As she wasn’t local to Gloucester she came down the day before the wedding to look around the venue and get a feel for the place and create ideas which I thought was amazing !!!

Joanna’s service was first class from start to finish. She was exactly what we wanted and captured our day perfectly. The presentation box was the final touch that we were not expecting.

Joanna was absolutely fantastic from the get go. Incredibly friendly, helpful, and just full of character. On top of this, she was incredibly professional. I cannot praise and thank her enough. If given the chance, I’d choose her every time. When we got the photos back, really quick at that, I was amazed. They were just beautiful and the effort she put into the presentation of our prints and USB was stunning in a little hamper! She is truly like no one else and I can’t thank her enough!! X

Joanna met our photography needs on our wedding day perfectly. We wanted more natural shots than posed photographs which she totally fulfilled. Our photos are absolutely wonderful, we were so pleased with them and capture the day perfectly.

Joanna has gone above and beyond with her customer service. We built such a good relationship from the off set that i even chose her for my maternity and new born shoot which she also did to an incredible standard. Joanna is not only friendly and approachable she is very professional in all aspects of her work.

Joanna was brillant from the time we met to her sending us our wedding photos. Ever I needed to contact her she would reply stright back with no delay. The day of the wedding she couldn’t of kept me more calm and relaxed the whole day was pouring with rain and the photos didn’t even look as though it was raining we were so pleased with them. Would highly recommend Joanna to anyone.

Myself and my now hubby booked Joanna Cleeve to photograph our wedding day. Whilst browsing the web one night I came across Joanna’s site which I found very professional and was very welcoming and informative. Myself and my hubby having looked through Joanna’s work then agreed we couldn’t think of anyone better to capture the biggest day of our lives. From start to finish Joanna was so professional and helpful and it was an absolute pleasure to have Joanna capture our special day.

Mr Danial Buttar
Joanna arrived on our first meeting with heaps of sample photographs and encouraged us to send her Pinterest pages if we had anything specific we wanted done. On the day she and her assistant we’re absolutely wonderful, bouncing ideas off each other and working tirelessly to capture as many moments – both staged and incidental – as they possibly could. The package she sent out with the finished photographs was beautiful and has pride of place in our living room. She was absolutely perfect.

Joanna is very creative and is just brilliant at her job! This is shown by her absolutely stunning photos. So pleased we selected Joanna to be our photographer on our wedding day.

Mrs Hannah Milner
Joanna was fabulous from start to finish with a prewedding meeting to discuss options and regular communication prior to the big day. On the day she managed our 80+ guests perfectly, including our ‘spirited’ 3yr old daughter who was much more interested in the sweetie cart than creating lasting photographic memories! Joanna’s vision and expertise have ensured we have some beautiful photos to look back on from a perfect day x

Joanna photographed our wedding on the 2nd September. She was absolutely incredible, made us laugh and put us completely at ease. She’s so creative and had so many lovely ideas for our photos. We love every single one that she took and cannot wait to show them off to everyone. She’s so professional and not only a fantastic photographer but just a lovely person in general. We would recommend her to anyone if you want some beautiful, professional photos.

Mrs Rachel Martin
– 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

Mr Tom Oatley
Joanna was at first extremely eager and enthusiastic about our wedding which made her a cut above the rest. It was at a country house with an Alice in Wonderland theme. This was captured perfectly. Our brief was natural expression images and not staged. Joanna achieved this perfectly capturing the lovely house but also the grounds and all its surroundings. Our images were amazingly presented in a hamper with beautifully oak framed images. Joanna was superb from start to finish.

Mr Thomas Jones
Joanna was very easy to contact and always responded quickly and with all questions/queries answered. On the day she was very professional and helped us get everything in to place for the photographs. Had some great ideas for shots. Was happy to provide advice on the day and was non-intrusive when taking photos.

Mrs Charlotte Mason
Joanna has been fantastic. She understood our needs and captured our big day excellently. She has an eye for detail, and I was really thrilled with the photo’s from our big day. 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!

Mrs Lauren Oatley
Anyone who doesn’t book Joanna as their wedding photographer is insane. Not only did we receive the most beautiful photos but she blended in perfectly throughout our day. Every single person who attended our wedding made comments about how wonderful our photographer was and those who have seen our photos have been astounded by the quality. She helped us to create memories which will last a life time and I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Mrs Emily Davis
I cannot express enough how lucky we were to have found Joanna. She went above and beyond the call of duty, My photos were stunning. My husband was so nervous but she got us laughing and joking and smiling no problem at all. Her helpers were amazing too. Setting my dress out properly, fixing my hair after the confetti and even sorting my pants out! All the photos were edited perfectly and sent back so quickly I couldn’t believe it. I would absolutely recommend Jo to any couple you won’t regret it

Mrs Leanne Martin – I came across Joanna after she approached me whilst I was looking for photographers. I was inundated with requests from potential photographers but Joanna’s work stood out as it was natural and she had put her own individuality to her work. Joanna’s portfolios are to a very high standard and we are so pleased we used her to capture our most precious memories.
Mrs Samantha Mitchell – Fantastic prices!

Mrs Emily Davis – I saw another bride tag Joanna in a post on a wedding page I am part of, with one of her pictures and it was beautiful! I went and found her page and now looked through the pictures and it was just what I wanted. Really natural beautiful pictures, edited just the way I would like them myself. I messaged Joanna and had a chat about prices and what was included. Not only was the price amazing, but she explained about all the props she had in case it rains. Wellies, umbrellas etc. It wasn’t a hard choice, my husband and I fell in love with the style of photos and that was the easiest decision of the wedding!
