Its quite humbling to read the testimonials that my clients (more like friends) have written about my work. My job is much more than that its such a special time for everyone and being able to capture all the little things that people do is very exciting. Even more so when they get their photographs back and can't believe all the details that were captured for them. I am so passionate about what I do and am so lucky to be able to do this every day - I'm living my dream. So thank you to all the people who have allowed me to capture moments and memories for them to keep forever.

When Kel and I decided to finally make an honest person of the other we agreed that we would have an informal relaxed wedding in our back yard.  Having both been married before we were determined to go low key while capturing the key moments.  We debated whether we needed a professional photographer and in the end I thought I would just explore who was around and then make a decision.   I jumped onto google and starting researching photographers.  I looked at so many websites and even spoke to a couple of local photographers and just couldn’t find a fit.  I came across Jayne’s website and loved the way that she seemed to adapt her style to the couple – it looked like we had found our fit.  The fit was confirmed when I emailed Jayne, I just knew she was our photographer, I was impressed with her flexibility and the fact that she immediately grasped our vision.  The wedding arrived and while Jayne captured all of the wedding I don’t actually recall seeing her in the way – although I was grateful for the commitment while we were driving up in our mustang – she was lying on the road in front of us to capture the perfect shot!  Another huge bonus for us was that we really really liked her – both Kel and I hate formal photos but I can honestly say  that with Jayne kidding around with us it was fun! Jayne was relaxed and easy going and even managed to make a feature of our 20 month old granddaughter running around in just her nappy!

The resulting images were so amazing that we cannot decide which shot we want to have blown up to take pole position in our lounge!  

While there were plenty of cameras snapping away at our wedding nothing comes even close to the pictures supplied by Jayne.  Now I understand why a professional photographer is not only desirable but absolutely essential!

Dear Jayne,

Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication in making our wedding photos exceptional.

You were so efficient, professional and lovely, which helped create a really relaxed atmosphere. We had so much fun doing our location photos with you and our Bridal Party were saying how fantastic you were.

Our photos are exceptional and we cannot thank you enough for such outstanding work.
Kind Regards
Natalie & Shane

We heard about Jayne from a friend, they had such beautiful pictures and we asked who they had used. We quickly contacted Jayne and we were overjoyed to find out that she was available for our wedding. We had so much fun meeting with her and starting to plan the wedding pictures. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jayne for our wedding, she wasn’t just a photographer, she became quite a big part of the day.

We look back at the photos now and they are a very true reflection of the amazing day that we had.

Thanks Jayne!

From the moment we met Jayne we knew that we had to have her as our photographer. We were lucky to have booked early as we received a free engagement sitting. The awesome photos Jayne took that day were used to set the theme for the rest of our wedding, invitations, programme etc. At this sitting we could tell she was an absolute professional and perfectionist. For one of the shots she was literally sitting in the water, ‘Anything for a great shot’ was what she said.

One of the things that stood out for us from the start were Jaynes’ photos. She has a way of capturing the personality of her subjects which brings the photos alive. We also loved the non-conventional unique types of photographs that she took using different angles and reflection.

In addition to her amazing work she is also a really fun person who is easy to get along with. On the wedding day she really fit in as one of the family. It was like having a good friend capture the special moments of our day so it made the entire photographing process fun and stress free. A lot of our family actually thought that she was a close friend of ours because she got along with everyone so well.

Throughout the entire process, from the first time we called her to receiving our awesome album and canvas Jayne kept us fully informed. She even did some research about us and came prepared with ideas of things we might like. Her communication was excellent and it was really obvious that she was passionate about capturing exactly what you wanted. So if you’re looking for excellent personalised service, amazing photographs and an amazing album and canvas, you’ve come to the right place. Jayne Rapley has it all. Thanks so much for creating a lifetime of amazing photos that clearly captured the events of our wedding day. You’re our photographer for life!
