"A good photograph stops a moment from flying away".

Professional and passionate photography and videography services based in Birmingham and surrounding areas.

My name is AJay and my hair is blue. Welcome to Blue Jay Photography and Videography.

I am the owner and principle photographer of Blue Jay Photography.

I've been obsessed with cameras and the moving image since I was 4 and now here I am!

I have 8 years of education and training in visual arts and creative practises. I have studied lighting, camera, special effects make-up and editing at the London Academy of Film and Television, my BA Honours in Film Studies & Creative & Professional Writing and I will conclude my MA Filmmaking at Sheffield Hallam University in July 2019.

"For my wife's 40 birthday party and was looking for someone to do the photography and a short film from past to present. I was recommended raven photography by a friend so I arranged a meeting. I found Alex to be very professional and she worked around my budget. She went above and beyond and did not disappoint.

Payment and deposits - how does it work?
Typically, bookings require a 50% deposit to secure your date. This deposit is non refundable, it secures the date for the client and compensates the photographer cor loss of business if cancellation occurs. The outstanding balance is to be paid on or before the date of two weeks prior to your booking. We are able to offer tailored payment plans if necessary. We offer a 10% discount on early payments (inquire for more information). In the event of late payment, a charge of £10 per day of lateness will incur and be added to the outstanding balance.
In case of unforeseen circumstances, do you have a replacement photographer?
In the unlikely event of extreme circumstances, we have a list of reliable contacts to find a replacement photographer.
What is the turnaround for receiving the photos/videos?
We do our absolute best to get your gorgeous photograph and videos to you as quick as possible - we know how excited you must be. Typically we advise 3-6 weeks for photography (depending on the package you chose) and 4-8 weeks for videography. If you have a deadline in mind please do get in touch and we'll see what we can do to help.
Do you have the rights to publish the wedding photos?
Since we are a growing business we do reserve the right to publish our photographs. However if this is something you would want to discuss we are more than happy to do so. At the end of the day - it's all about a happy client!
Do you work alone or do you have a team of professionals?
Most packages require only one professional, however we have a team of trusted comrades at the ready if you require more hands on deck.
Do you send all the photos taken?
Yep!
Do you offer any tool to display the photos online?
We send you an exclusive download link for all of your beautiful edited photographs the second they are ready! Only people with a link can access the gallery giving you full control over who gets to share then with you.
What kind of technology do you use?
We shoot with a canon 5D Mark III which is above industry standard. For videography we use a directional microphone and a professional tascam recording device.
What style of photos do you take?
We favor candid photography, we like to stay out of the way and snap authentic happy moments. However we are talented and flexible! We know what poses make a good photograph so we are happy to discuss style with you and will only take on the jobs we are confident with. In other words we won't try and blag it if we feel we're not a good fit for what you're looking for.
Do you cover more than one wedding a day?
nope! If you book with us, your special day has our undivided attention for the duration of our time together.
