About me

My name is Jen, and I have always been obsessed with photography! Ever since my first Polaroid instant camera, I have snapped away at every opportunity. I have many photos from these shoots, keeping my early memories alive.

I love to capture moments in time, whether that’s a couple declaring their wedding vows, or a crimson sun setting over the horizon. My background is in landscape photography where I have expertly honed my skills of crafting beautiful composition, and now I want to make you the centrepiece.

I specialise in macro photography (close up) and am so proud to have been declared Category Winner for the Essex Wildlife Trust Photography competition in 2021/22. I am fascinated by details, so whether I am chasing down butterflies in my garden, capturing your wedding flowers, or your baby’s gorgeous eyes, my photos promise to deliver detail like no other.

Aside from photography, I am a mum of two wonderful grown-up kids, and I worked in primary education for more than a decade before launching Jen Spittle Photography. I am very patient with children and adults alike, which is a talent that has helped in my shoots. It is important to me that you feel relaxed during our time together. I am very creative and a little bit bonkers, a great combination I feel!

I am based in Hockley, Essex but I adore traveling with my camera so don’t count me out if you are looking for a photographer a little further afield! Some of my favourite places I have visited are the Scottish Highlands, and I even ran the Ben Nevis Marathon in a former life!

My personal motto is ‘Life is too short’. Lessons in life have taught me this only too well, so make your memories, love your life… and I’ll have the pleasure of capturing it for you.
