S.M.J.H. Photography

I’m Amy, the founder and photographer behind SMJH Photography—a business named after my children and built on the values of family, connection, and authenticity. Based in Gateshead and serving the North East, I specialise in relaxed, storytelling wedding photography that captures the real emotion of your day. With over five years of experience photographing families and two years dedicated to weddings, I’ve developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps couples feel instantly at ease. I don’t believe in stiff poses or forced smiles—just honest, beautiful moments that reflect who you are and how you love. My sessions are inclusive and sensory-friendly, designed to support couples from all walks of life. Whether you’re planning a big celebration or an intimate elopement, I bring warmth, patience, and a quiet confidence that lets you be fully present while I document the magic. I’m known for being approachable, responsive, and flexible—whether it’s answering messages quickly, adapting to last-minute changes, or making space for pets, children, and all the joyful chaos that comes with real life. My goal is simple: to help you feel relaxed, seen, and celebrated. If you’re looking for a photographer who’ll capture the laughter, the tears, and the tiny in-between moments that make your wedding truly yours, I’d be honoured to tell your story.
