Jessica Coates Photography

Welcome

Hey! A little bit about me, My name is Jess. I am married to Josh and have a daughter called Amelia and two border collies called Echo and Sol. I am a photographer based in Nottingham. In a nutshell I love, animals, tea, adventure and cozy evenings in front of the fire with a film.

I love to capture moments that tell your love story. I love to have fun and my style is relaxed, capturing authentic moments from the big to the small and everything in-between. I am frequently told “I don’t like my picture being taken” but I love to make people feel comfortable, capturing real moments instead of forced awkward poses

Kind Words

Jess did our wedding photos for us and from start to finish we were both so pleased with the experience and the photos.

Working with Jess was lovely as she is so down to earth and made us feel at ease during our initial meeting and on the actual day.

She was amazing throughout the day, having a clear vision of the images she wanted to capture whilst also completely adopting the ‘bohemian’ and ‘soft’ feel we wanted to our pictures.

She was also very organised and helped us through many aspects of the day (particularly the morning of the wedding which was rather chaotic with all the girls getting ready!!). Jess was very calm, professional and captured the nerves and excitement perfectly in the photographs.

With the photos themselves, we are both still amazed by how incredible they have come out, especially the couple portraits (example photos attached). They were better than we could have even imagined and really captured the essence of our relationship perfectly.

We have a few of the pictures hanging up around the house and I smile everytime I look at them.

I can’t recommend Jess enough as a photographer for whatever occasion. I can guarantee she’ll work to capture any moment beautifully.

Thank you so much Jess, you are a lovely person and very talented photographer.

I can’t recommend Jess enough.

Jess photographed our wedding this summer and she was incredible. She managed to help us coordinate ourselves, and all our guests (including our cheeky dogs!) into some fantastic shots, as well as capturing all the moments we loved, and all the moments we didn't see. We had no real plan or understanding of what we wanted in our images, and she just made it so easy to do with a laugh - and patience! We look at our photographs with such fondness and can truly cherish what our day was, and it's all due to the way Jess was able to capture it! Thank you again, Jess!

We've had several photoshoots with Jessica now and I wouldn't choose anyone else. She's so professional but becomes your friend very quickly. She's incredibly patient with children and pets and makes you feel completely comfortable from the get go. She captures the most precious moments both candid and posed and will honour your ideas for images as well as bring her own creativity to get the best shots. We highly recommend her!

We’ve had a couple shoots done by Jess (engagement shoot and shoot with our dog) and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As someone that isn’t particularly comfortable in front of the camera Jess put both me and my other half at ease right away and we had such a great, fun experience. Not to forget mentioning how amazing Jess was with our excitable Border Collie Herman, he isn’t the best at paying attention in high value environments but she was so good at keeping his attention and got the most beautiful pictures of him that we will definitely be treasuring forever. Which brings me on to say how amazing the photos are! They are so stunning and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The service from start to finish was brilliant and we can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding in November. Thank you Jess! Hope, Connor & Herman
