ONE STUDIO FOR ALL
YOUR CREATIVE NEEDS
About Jennifer Thoburn
Hi, I'm Jennifer – an award-winning photographer, videographer and creative director based on the Lancashire and Yorkshire border. For more than 15 years, I've been helping businesses, couples and families tell their stories through natural, creative photography and cinematic video.
I work throughout Lancashire, Yorkshire, Manchester and across the UK, specialising in wedding photography, commercial photography, branding photography, product photography, family photography and professional videography.
A Photographer with Creative Direction Experience
Photography is about far more than simply taking beautiful pictures. Every image should have purpose, emotion and tell a story.
Before launching Jennifer Thoburn Photography, I built my career as a professional photographer and Art Director, working with leading retailers, national brands, magazines and creative agencies. That commercial experience allows me to combine creative vision with technical expertise, ensuring every photoshoot is carefully planned while still feeling relaxed and natural.
Whether I'm photographing a luxury wedding, creating content for a growing business or capturing precious family moments, my goal is always the same—to create timeless images that feel authentic and genuinely represent you.

Wedding Photographer in Lancashire & Yorkshire
Wedding photography is one of my greatest passions.
I believe the best wedding photographs happen naturally. Rather than awkward posing, I focus on genuine emotion, real laughter and the little moments that often become the most treasured memories.
My style blends documentary storytelling with beautiful editorial portraits, creating timeless wedding photography that allows you to relive your day for years to come.
I photograph weddings throughout Lancashire, Yorkshire, Manchester and across the UK.
Family Photography That Feels Natural
Families grow and change incredibly quickly.
Whether you're celebrating a new baby, updating your family portraits or documenting a special milestone, I create relaxed photography sessions that capture genuine personalities and real connections.
My fully equipped studio in Higherford Mill is perfect for newborn, maternity, children's and family photography, while outdoor sessions across Lancashire and Yorkshire provide beautiful natural backdrops throughout every season.
