Kind Words

''Jack and Gina, where to even begin?! From the moment we booked they went above and beyond to bring extra magic to our whole wedding experience! From meeting up with us to chat through plans and options, to totally putting us at ease in front of the camera on our engagement shoot, to being the BEST on the actual day!!! They became part of the whole day so seamlessly, the best team and such fantastic company for every moment of the day. But it didn't stop there, they managed to capture moments happening that were so spontaneous I STILL don't understand how they had cameras pointing in the right direction, and sooo many beautiful memories that have brought the day back to life for us so many times. We will recommend them forever to everyone we know. The best of the best ✨ (thank you guys we love you!)''

''Ivy and pine were the first photographers we looked at and the minute we had our first zoom call, we knew straight away that they were the ones, we felt so relaxed chatting to Jack and Gina, it was weird but we felt like we’d known them for ages and it all just came very naturally. 

My main 3 things I wanted when choosing photographers were Candid, fun and film photography, Which was exactly what we got, I have to say and I know I’m biased but they definitely are the best wedding photos! Throughout the whole process Jack and Gina kept in contact messaging via instagram which definitely helped us feel calm, a lot of people warned us that people would take our deposits and not contact us again till the week of the wedding but we can definitely say they did not do that, knowing they were only one text away helped massively, we 100% relied on them for a lot more than just the photos 😂 they helped us plan pretty much the whole timeline (which we had no clue about) and even when we changed things on the day and right at the last minute, they went with the flow and just carried on like the normal. 

We definitely hit the jack pot when hiring Jack and Gina! One of our biggest worries was our couple portraits, both Chris and I aren’t fans of having our photos taken, we originally asked for just 30mins after the ceremony but Jack and Gina insisted that we would love having more taken later when things started to get manic, taking time away from everyone for it just be us, to actually get to talk, breath and take in the craziness of being newlyweds. When anyone asks what my favourite part of the day is, i can hand on heart say our couple portraits and it’s a moment we will always cherish, spending that time together means so much to us and we are so thankful that Jack and Gina persuaded us to do it. 

I’ve definitely been turned and will be contacting Ivy and Pine again in the future for more photos, which is not something I thought I’d ever say! 

We will always be so grateful and can’t thank them enough for making our day so bloody incredible!''

''Easiest review we've ever written. From start to finish both Gina and Jack have been incredible. Having never planned a wedding before, we really didn't know what we were doing, but these guys made us feel at ease from the moment we met them. They were so helpful, honest and genuine. 

We felt super uncomfortable worrying about our pre wedding shoot as we both feel awkward being photographed, but Gina and Jack made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were amazing! we had such a laugh. 

When they arrived at the venue for the wedding day, it was like welcoming two friends. It felt so natural. 

During the ceremony, we didn't even notice they were there! so professional and discreet. They helped gently guide us through the day without being overbearing. 

Receiving our beautiful photos took us straight back to our magical day. The photos are incredible and way better then we even expected. Jack and Gina went above and beyond for us and we really can not recommend them enough. You wont regret it!''

''From the moment we had our client meeting with them, and they bought Rudy along, we knew they were the ones for us! Jack and Gina couldn't have been more wonderful throughout the whole process - they were so helpful listening to our ideas and working out what would work best on the wedding day, to offering to do things they wouldn't normally do. And I would 100% recommend doing an engagement shoot with them beforehand as well, as it meant we were more comfortable in front of the camera and you can really tell that from the photos on the day!

Most importantly, the gallery we got back from Gina and Jack was just amazing - exactly what we wanted. They seamlessly fit into the day, found all the best spots for photos, and were just generally wonderful. I also loved how they stayed for a dance after they'd finished taking all their photos!! 

I honestly couldn't recommend them more - they are both so lovely and absolutely brilliant at what they do!''

''Jack and Gina are an amazing team and the photos they captured at our engagement shoot and wedding are gorgeous. We will absolutely treasure them forever.
Initially we were worried we would feel self-conscious and awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and we ended up having lots of fun. It really felt like just hanging out with friends we had known for years. We really felt at ease and everything ran so smoothly.

The online gallery we were sent with all of our photos is great and the prints we ordered are so beautiful and such high quality.

Thank you so much, Jack and Gina. You're the best!''

''Working with Gina & Jack was nothing short of incredible.

From the first response to our message, to communicating with us afterwards, we were amazed with every single thing they did for us on our big day.

It really says a lot when our guests asked us how we knew our photographers (because we'd struck up such a great bond in the run-up this made them assume we were already friends!). This also meant that we felt so comfortable around Gina & Jack, and so did our guests. The result? Photos from our big day that are so beautiful they were far beyond our expectations.

Weddings can be stressful, but working closely with Gina & Jack on the big day put us at ease, and also kept us in check (thank you both!!).

I really could go on; I would not hesitate to recommend this cracking pair to anyone looking for photographers.''

Couldn't imagine better wedding photographers.

The whole process leading up to the day was fantastic. Perfect balance between professional and friendly.

On the day itself it felt like having 2 extra lovely guests at the wedding.

The photos were 10/10. Film photos were especially good.

You can have total confidence in booking Ivy & Pine.

''Where do we begin? These guys are AMAZING! Right from the moment we met Gina & Jack, we knew we wanted them to photograph our wedding. We wanted candid, bright and airy photos, without moody filters, that would truly capture the joy of the day. When we first met for a coffee, they showed us a few galleries they had done previously and it was exactly what we were looking for. 
At first we weren’t sure we wanted an engagement shoot but we are so glad we did! We have some amazing pictures and it made us feel much more comfortable on our wedding day. We felt quite nervous about getting our picture taken, but Gina & Jack knew exactly what to do and helped us feel so relaxed, we completely forgot the camera was there. It was so lovely to have them photograph our special day. They gave us loads of advice and were so lovely to work with. They fit so naturally into the day and we are SO IN LOVE with the photos from our wedding day. No hesitation, we would 10000% recommend Ivy & Pine!''

''Myself and Lucy chose Ivy & Pine to photograph our wedding (May, 2023) and we can say without doubt that it was the best decision we made. We joked that we could write them a review as long as a novel and it still wouldn’t give them enough credit. Jack and Gina not only captured our day perfectly, but they captured the best side of us and our guests too. This was all owing to how at ease and relaxed they made us and everyone else involved in our day feel. They slipped into our day like wedding guests, rather than the ‘stand off’ photographers at other weddings that we’d experienced. They’re communication, willingness to get to know us and indulge our personalities through the lens couldn’t have been better. We cannot recommend them enough!''

Gina and Jack have been amazing! From our first chat with them we were so excited to have them come photograph our wedding day - they are great company and have a knack of making people feel at ease to have photos taken. We had such a laugh with them both on the day - they have a relaxed, fun style without missing a beat and we absolutely love all our gallery. We will definitely be back in touch in the future for any more photo sessions, couldn't recommend more. Thank you Ivy and Pine!

We had a small ceremony which was photographed by Ivy & Pine and we can’t recommend them enough.

The whole process was simple and easy from start to finish, which made us feel at ease!

Every single person from our family commented on how lovely our photographer was and loved the photographs. If you’re thinking of going with them, then you’re guaranteed to have the best experience.

Thank you for everything!

Working with Jack and Gina was a fantastic and seamless experience. We are beyond happy with how the photos came out and the level of professionalism and friendliness/easygoingness both displayed before and during the wedding. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Jack and Gina to shoot our special day. I highly recommend others to do the same as they will go above and beyond to ensure that your special day is captured as you want it.

''Jack & Gina were so helpful when it came to me proposing to my fiancé. Being in London and having the proposal in Bath, they both made it so easy to liaise and work together for a seemless proposal. They also helped in setting up the picnic for myself so that my fiancé wasn’t suspicious! Ivy & Pine were a terrific help and I cannot thank them enough.''

There is not enough words in the dictionary to describe how unbelievable these guys are. From bump, to baby, to toddler, they’ve been there for each special moment of ours and produced the most mind blowing photos. They’ve really truly become part of our little family and we are so lucky to be able to have such wonderful photos to look back on (as they are proudly displayed on our walls). Jack and Gina are two of the most genuine, easy going and gentle souls and they make you feel right at home during shoots, which really does help to make you feel relaxed. They also have a cracking sense of humour which definitely gets those giggles going! 😄 It not only feels like we have gained photographers for life, but friends for life We can’t recommend them enough

"We cannot speak highly enough of Jack and Gina. Ahead of our first meeting, we instantly warmed to them - they are friendly, thoughtful and so invested in what they do. They instantly put us at ease when we had our engagement shoot - nothing was too much for them as they took the time to help us relax into the moment, capturing images that are playful and fun, but romantic and never felt cheesy or forced. They captured us at our very best - we both teared up when we saw the images (delivered ridiculously promptly online) because they really did feel like the best version of us.

The preparation before our wedding day was incredible (they are more organised than us and thought of things we hadn’t).

On the day it was like having a few extra pals along. They helped to herd the crowds in a fun and friendly way, had scouted the locations to get the best shots and captured every moment perfectly. They joined in the fun, with zero judgment on the choices we had made, just absolute enthusiasm and, dare I say it, love. We felt cared for by a truly personalised service - they got to know our family and friends to the point where my mother in law assumed they were friends, not paid photographers.

We have no idea what to do now because the photos are all so stunning. We are spoilt for choice! Jack and Gina are two beautiful souls who completely get what people want. We were instantly at ease in their company and, most importantly, they are incredible at what they do. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

''Gina & Jack, well what can I say? WOW. I am so glad I picked Gina & Jack as my photographers at my Wedding. They are friendly, kind & beautiful people. They made it so easy when taking our couple photos. It felt like I had two friends taking photos, they made it so comfortable for us. I also received the photos back so quickly. They made our day flow so easily, and I don’t know what we would have done without them, it was just perfect. I cannot recommend them more. Absolutely amazing!''

''Had the absolute pleasure of having Jack and Gina photograph our wedding, a year ago and we are not photo people and they made us feel so at ease infront of a camera at our wedding and we absolutely loved the photos so, to capture another important milestone, we decided to book them for a maternity session a year later. As I say, we aren’t photo people, and I have rarely any photos of me in my pregnancy… however, as anticipated, Jack and Gina went above and beyond to making us feel comfortable infront of the camera and taking the most perfect shots of these milestones. They are so fun and lovely to be around, with the added bonus of amazing photos at the end of it. Completely professional but also makes it feel like just walking around with your friends. I couldn’t recommend them anymore 😍 they even managed to sort my disposable cameras that I’d not got around to from my wedding 12 months ago, they truly go above and beyond from the moment you enquire with them to the day itself and the follow ups afterwards! Thank you so much.''

''Our engagement shoot was everything and more, thanks to Gina & Jack! We were both quite nervous as we had not done a shoot together before, however, they put us at ease instantly. They had lots of cute and fun ways to get those candid shots; our favourite was working through the alphabet, describing each other with a word beginning with each letter. They both had such a creative vision, we loved rolling with their ideas! 

Gina & Jack exceeded all expectations. They truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait for them to photograph our wedding in the future''

''Brilliant, personal service and beautiful photos - Jack and Gina were amazing. They totally understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding and the end results were brilliant. Jack was super friendly with our guests and captured all the moments we hoped for without us having to ask. Thanks again for you incredible work!''

''Jack & Gina totally put us at ease on our engagement shoot. Neither of us are used to being in front of the camera, but instead of feeling awkward, it just felt like we were on a walk with two friends!

They were super flexible with dates when planning it to make sure that we got a perfect sunrise, and the results are just beautiful!! We're so happy with how they turned out, our wedding website looks so professional with them & we can't wait for the wedding!''

''Jack and Gina were an absolute pleasure to spend the afternoon with! They made us feel instantly at ease and won our 18 month old little girl over straight away (she's a tough cookie) they had us all laughing and running around and captured the most beautiful and natural photos ! Memories to last forever, thank you so much guys!''

''Gina and Jack are actual gold dust. They are two of the most down to earth, friendly, and approachable people we’ve met. This on its own made the photoshoot incredibly enjoyable, really fun and light-hearted. We have had our dog, Ivy photographed by them, and she absolutely loves them. Which speaks volumes to us as she is a naturally nervous dog, but they just have a special way with people and animals that makes everyone feel relaxed. 

Now we are a family of four, we had a home shoot with our new baby Stanley and Ivy.  The photos they took portrayed both of their personalities perfectly. We have come away from every shoot with really beautiful memories captured by Gina and Jack, that we will cherish forever and take pride of place all around our house. We recommend them with our whole heart!''

We are floored by our gallery! Thank you to Gina and Jack for capturing some incredible moments in one of our favourite places of our family of 3 before welcoming baby girl and becoming a family of 4. We know it's not easy getting good shots with a toddler (especially one as active as ours!) but he's really stolen the show in our photos! We LOVE them . You both made it so effortless for us. Highly recommend!

"We could not be happier with the outstanding experience we had with these guys! From the first meet up we knew that they were absolutely the photographers we would go for! Jack and Gina are the coolest people and were perfect every step of the way. They really captured the tone of the day, and all the special and candid moments. We provided a list of photos that we wanted them to capture and they delivered everything we asked for. Looking through the photos, we felt the emotion and re-lived the day all over again as it felt to us on the day.

Do not hesitate to book these guys, they will deliver on everything you ask for and more! Thank you Jack and Gina for going above and beyond!"

''Jack & Gina were chilled, friendly, and put us camera-phobes at ease. They went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable and got all of the photos that we wanted. It was an added bonus that they were enthusiastic about both our theme and our lovely venue. We received a fantastic and large selection of photos ranging from natural shots, personal details, to organised group shots. Everyone who spoke to J & G at the wedding said how lovely they were! They fit right in. We now are looking forward to choosing prints we'd like for frames and an album. Thank you so much for capturing the best moments of our special day! ''

Jack & Gina are the best! They are so down to earth and easy to get along with. We have done a pre-wedding shoot with them in Bath - they made it so comfortable when taking our photos - would definitely recommend doing one. It felt like I had two friends taking photos, they made it so comfortable for us and it was so nice getting to know them. I can't wait for them to photograph our wedding and be part of our special day in June - Lots of Love Holly & Liam

''Wow! words cannot describe how wonderful Gina and Jack, of Ivy and Pine Photography are. From first contact they we’re friendly, professional and an absolute delight to work with. Marcus and I really felt they took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted for the photos of our special day. 

They put us, and the rest of the wedding party at ease and even helped with a few last-minute hair dos. The online gallery is very smart and straight forward to use, we would highly recommend them. They are very skilled photographers, editors, and all-round beautiful people.''

‘’Our wedding photographers, Jack and Gina, were everything we wanted and more. From the second they arrived at the bridal party they made everyone feel at ease but equally added to the fun.

Throughout the day they blended into our wedding to capture the most beautiful pictures. Our pictures speak for themselves and we have had a lot of our guests compliment us on our choice of photographer. Professional, creative & talented are just three of the words that spring to mind to describe the wonderful work Jack and Gina provide and create. Thank you for everything.’’

''My partner & I had such a wonder experience with Jack & Gina! They quickly made us feel at ease and really helped us relax into our shoot! 

They work very well as a team, helping to make things quick, slick and seamless to ensure you don’t have to stand around waiting very long between shots (like I’ve experienced with other photographers).

What ever the occasion I can’t recommend Ivy & Pine enough, we couldn’t be happier with our pictures!! They capture the best moments of your day to immortalise those truly special memories''
