Jo Thorne Photography

Jo has photographed the team at Recipe on several occasions, and genuinely feels like one of us now whenever we get together for company meetings in Brighton. We love the style and quality of Jo's photography and because she always takes the time to understand our culture and what we are trying to achieve, the results feel natural, authentic and true to who we are. Jo has a calm demeanour that puts everyone at ease, and she has a way of working that allows her to get close to moments that matter, without ever feeling intrusive or disrupting the group dynamic. Quiet, considered and highly professional, Jo always seems intent on exceeding our expectations. Her imagery has become an important part of how we present Recipe, helping prospective clients understand who we are and what it feels like to work with us. I cannot recommend Jo highly enough and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Jo was our wedding photographer and from our first contact, she made us feel at ease and confident. On the day she was very much part of our day but not in any way intrusive. We wanted it to be informal and relaxed which is exactly how it was. We were so happy with the results and would highly recommend

We are really glad we chose Jo to be our photographer for our wedding at Brighton Pavilion. Her approach was super laid back and relaxed which is just what we wanted. The group shots were done quickly so she could focus on the more natural photos of us as a couple and our guests - which is where the magic happens! The photos fully capture the fun, laughter and love that filled the day. Looking through them brings back all that joy and I notice something new in them each time. We'll treasure them forever, thank you Jo.

The shoot with Jo was such a special experience. Jo really listened to how I felt about being photographed and we explored ideas together where we could create an environment where I felt relaxed and that expressed my relationship to making art. It was really playful and relaxed and Jo has a really special way of making the shoot feel like we were just hanging out while at the same time coming up with exciting and inventive ways to make interesting and unexpected compositions. I love the photos from the shoot and use them regularly for my website and social media.

Jo was an absolute blessing on our wedding day. From the moment I contacted her she was warm, flexible and easy-going. She made us feel so relaxed in the run-up to it especially when we started to panic about the weather. She gave us every confidence that no matter what happened it would be okay and she was right! On the day she was the perfect balance of directive so we could get beautiful portrait pictures, whilst also capturing wonderful candid shots. However, getting the photo never came at the expense of us enjoying our wedding. She just went with the flow of our fairly unstructured day! The photos are absolutely magical. They capture the energy, fun and love of the day and when we look at them we are taken right back to it. I will cherish her photos forever. If you can get Jo to photograph your wedding (or anything else) then absolutely do.

Jo was fantastic from start to finish. We had a very busy day shooting at various locations across London, and Jo was accommodating throughout. She captured a wide variety of colours and angles, and everything (as you can see) looks great. Thank you, Jo. Will certainly recommend!

The pictures we received from Jo were incredible. They are better than we could have imagined, we loved her vision and how she shot the soft candid moments. She was able to really capture the sentiment of our guests and how we truly felt that day through her images. We so appreciated the warm energy she brought throughout the day that made us feel so comfortable. From the initial inquiry to the wedding day, Jo’s communication throughout the process was superb and timely. Could not have asked for a better overall experience. And could not recommend her enough to anyone!
