I believe photography is about more than pictures; it’s about telling the stories that matter most. The laughter, the quiet glances, the beauty of being yourself - these are the moments I love to capture.

Hi, I’m Jo — the heart behind Joanna May Photography.

Based in South Wales, I work in a natural, documentary style that allows you to relax and simply enjoy the moment. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, a family adventure, or a boudoir session, my focus is always on creating images that feel honest, heartfelt, and timeless.

Alongside running my photography business, I also work full-time, which means I only take on a limited number of sessions each month. This slower, intentional approach allows me to give every client the care and attention they deserve, from our first chat to the final delivery of your gallery.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me exploring the South Wales coast, enjoying time with loved ones, or searching out little pockets of light and beauty in everyday life.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your story with warmth, honesty, and heart, I’d love to hear from you.

I believe the best photographs come when you feel comfortable and seen. That’s why I create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. No stiff poses, no pressure, just space for you to be yourself. My photography celebrates real connection, genuine emotion, and those little fleeting details that make your story uniquely yours.
