Jess Petrie Photography

As a new photographer, Jess Petrie’s nature workshop was a game-changer for me! I’m Linda, and I came into her class hoping to learn more about capturing plant life—and I left with so much more. Jess doesn’t just teach photography; she teaches you to see nature differently. Every detail, from the smallest leaf to the way the sunlight hits a flower, became something I wanted to capture. Her approach is perfect for beginners like me. Jess is patient, clear, and makes you feel like you can really grow, not just in technique but in your connection to nature. The workshop wasn’t just about snapping photos—it was about slowing down, breathing in the outdoors, and translating those moments of calm and wonder into beautiful images. I now look at my surroundings with fresh eyes, and my photography feels more meaningful. If you’re looking to deepen your nature photography skills or just reconnect with the natural world, I can’t recommend Jess enough. Her workshops are truly special!

As someone new to nature photography, I can’t recommend Jess Petrie enough! Her workshops aren’t just about pointing your camera and taking a shot—they’re about truly connecting with nature. I’ve always loved being outdoors, but after attending Jess’ nature connection workshop, I feel like I experience the natural world in a whole new way. She has this incredible ability to make you see the beauty in even the smallest details—whether it’s the texture of a leaf, the way light filters through branches, or the delicate patterns on a flower. Her guidance is clear, thoughtful, and inspiring, making me feel confident as a beginner. The best part? It wasn’t just technical. Jess really emphasized the feeling behind the shot, how to capture the essence of nature rather than just a picture. I walked away not only with new photography skills but with a renewed sense of calm and connection to the world around me. If you’re looking to dive into nature photography or just want a deeper connection with the outdoors, Jess Petrie’s workshops are truly something special. She made me feel like I could really grow as a photographer, and now I see plants and landscapes with a whole new perspective. 10/10 experience!

We had our first family photo shoot with Jess and the results were amazing. On the day, Jess ensured we were comfortable, respected our privacy and dignity and was very caring and attentive. I could see how my baby girl was relaxed and she loved looking at the camera. I look forward to having another family photoshoot with Jess.

Jess has a phenomenal talent for producing flawless, light, ethereal and stunning images which capture genuine human emotion and connection. Jess shot both our engagement pictures and wedding photos, and both times we when received the images, we were overwhelmed. I am humbled by the skill of this remarkable couple and am a genuine fan of the work they produce and their signature style. I would recommend Jess Petrie for any photo needs, as they will undoubtedly produce images and memories for you to treasure, always.

Jess is a fantastic photographer! She is lovely to work with, professional but informal. She makes you feel comfortable and makes the process fun. Jess did our wedding photos three years ago, which were stunning! I have used her again recently for business photographs for myself and again they're just amazing. It's not just the high quality of the photos, the great experience but I'm convinced she uses a touch of magic too. I highly recommend Jess.
