Looking for some fun & chilled vibes, with oh-so inclusive industry professionals?
Obviously both with pink hair, otherwise it just wouldn’t work, would it?!?
Jess May’s Special Days
A wedding celebrant who has been cheering couples down the aisle and casting spells on wedding guests since 2013; even winning a few awards!
I create ceremonies which are totally YOU: Informally formal, relaxed vibes, full of laughter & absolutely NO BORED GUESTS!
At the end of your ceremony, when your friends & family assume I’ve known you for years, I will know ‘I see you, I hear you, I GET YOU…’
Amie Seal Photography
A wedding photographer for the bold, the chilled and the fun.
Natural & candid image style, but adding in the formalities and a glimmer of editorial for the romantic bit.
I will mirror your vibe! Whether you want me to blend in and capture silently, or bring the A-GAME & encourage the crazy shots…
Either way, I GOT YOU…
What you won’t know is, we met a few years back at a FABULOUS wedding and became lifelong friends in about a minute & a half.
I {Amie} had the pleasure of photographing one of my exes weddings last year, yes yes, aware, such a very gay thing to do! But, with the nature of this very intimate woodland wedding for a polyamorous partnership, I knew exactly who needed to officiate their day.
They all agreed.
That is when this all began, after our second glorious wedding together, we knew we’re a good fit.
You can’t not love Jess when you meet her, and you just know she will absolutely put her heart & soul into your ceremony and make it better than you could ever have imagined.
I on the other hand, will document your love & watch the day unfold. There might be the occasional bossiness in the direction of your family & friends when they won’t budge in the group shot & I may possibly run like the wind if there is something interesting about to happen 50 ft away… But the rest of the time, so very very chill.
We work seamlessly, we’re up for anything & we are PASSIONATE about being inclusive & all-round LGBT-allies! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
We’re now collectively taking on both London & Brighton weddings, and we CANNOT WAIT to meet you…

When a wedding celebrant and photographer join forces, they create a blend of storytelling that goes beyond mere images and words - it's an experience.
Here’s a couple of cheeky images from our last wedding together, at the beautiful Two Woods Estate in Pulborough. The woodland, or ‘red woods’ as it is known, is absolutely magical and there’s even a stone circle to boot!
Hidden under the forest canopy, Jess officiated F&E’s charming wedding ceremony. There were nods to their family traditions, with folk singing & handmade bunting had been draped throughout. A number of their people paid homage through poetry & gorgeous readings that celebrated the pairs love of almost a decade.
The parents, closest family and F&E’s partner {known as their wedding constellation} also played their parts in the hand-fasting ceremony, all contributing marriage advice or words of wisdom, with every stand placed on hand.

“I’ve shot a lot of weddings, and I’ve met a fair few wedding celebrants also. I can without a doubt say that Jess is the best in the business...
Her ceremonies are warm, heartfelt & deeply entertaining. You realise within a minute or so that she’s gotten to know the couple on such a profoundly intimate level. She knows their stories, she understands their partnership & the qualities they love in each other. She also 100% understands what they want for their ceremony, from the type of words expressed, to the vibe she creates.
Don’t book a Registrar, it’s not conducive to the ‘best day of your life’.
Well, do, but the maybe the week before; just to make it official...
Jess will turn an otherwise, legal formality, into an absolute dream that no-one was expecting, or wants to end!”
“So, I’ve been a wedding celebrant since 2013. That means 12 years of wedding photographers and photos. I’ve liked a lot of them, even loved some… but it is always Amie’s that I return to and put on my website. They’re ‘heart-warming’, and they ‘give you the feels’.
She captures the raw emotion and the PERSONALITY of the people she snaps. The reason she’s so good at that is that she understands people, she understands love and she has a very big heart.
She’s smart and bossy in a good way and hilariously funny. She puts people at ease because she’s so relatable and it’s like having a friend at your ceremony. She listens to your brief and she delivers by paying close attention and working extremely hard.
Her images are stunning and she will reveal something beautiful about yourself and your relationship that you may not even have noticed. Her enthusiasm for you as a couple spills over and brings you joy; I love her images and I love her.”
