I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Jo & Kevin at their lovely studio!

Jo and Kevin are wonderful hosts and make an amazing photographic team! We only had a short time booked to shoot together, as it was tagged on the end of my studio day at The Old Chapel, however we had such a productive shoot and was able to create a few different image sets, which all looked fabulous!

Thank you so much for looking after me this weekend and thanks for a wonderful shoot!

Highly recommended and would love to work together again.

I'm so glad I applied to Jo and Kev's casting call as it was just as wacky as I'd hoped it would be! I love working with people who aren't afraid to think outside of the box, and Jo and Kev certainly didn't disappoint!

Pre-comms was spot on, we kept each other informed of our progress with making the dress and headpiece.

On the day I had a slight panic with the headpiece, I rang Jo straight away to let her know the situation and what I was going to do to tweak things and she was very understanding.

When I arrived at the studio, Kev helped me in with my make up kit. I was kept in good supply of cups of tea (always a winner with me).

Jo and Kev knew that the make up would take a bit of time and they were very patient whilst I worked, not pushy at all which I really appreciate and as a hair and make up artist, find it very hard to come across.

Once we got started, Jo and Kev worked very quickly and gave good direction to our model Tegan.

They were a ball to work with, I would highly recommend them to anyone and would absolutely love to work with them again in the future!

I had a fantastic shoot today with Jo and Kev at their studio after applying for one of their casting calls. Their pre-comms were excellent and answered any questions I had about the shoot beforehand.

We had a lovely chat whilst I had my hair and makeup done before helping me into the amazing dress they had made using balloons! They had such creative ideas and Jo gave clear instructions about posing to get the best results. She also checked I was ok and comfortable throughout the shoot.

The photos look amazing and I can’t wait to see the finished results. I would love to work with Jo and Kev again in the future! Highly recommended!

I shot with Jo and Kev for the second time last month, briefly when we could find time around bookings on my model weekend at their lovely studio The Old Chapel! They are a pleasure to work with, very considerate and creative and also wonderful hosts. I really enjoy working at their place and working with them, and hopefully we can shoot again soon :) Thanks guys!

It was a pleasure to shoot with Jo during my model days at her Old Chapel Studio! She is such a friendly, welcoming and thoughtful person. Professional, respectful and considerate throughout, she has some fantastic ideas planned that we discussed beforehand and we nailed it in a really short space of time.

Loads of fun and I would very happily work with her again as well as at the studio anytime :-)

I posted a casting asking if anyone would like to work with me on a simple concept to fill a gap in my portfolio, and was delighted to hear from this friendly husband and wife and hurried to organise a mutually convenient time to visit.

I chose well! There's a spark of kooky playfulness in J that meant we got on a productive but super enjoyable level quickly. And the way she worked K running around adjusting lighting, arranging props and fans meant we could achieve some fantastic shots, and a heck of a range of them for the time we had together too! Snacks and cheesy tunes made for a light-hearted atmosphere that I carried away with me for the rest of the day. And the previews of our work together have me SO EXCITED, can't wait to get them on my port.

If your portfolio needs a bit of a refresh, I can heartily recommend this warm and welcoming, professional, creative team.

What a fabulous couple! Not only to provide transport to the studio but an awesome studio nonetheless!!

Very easy to get on with, fabulous array of wonderful props and backdrops and super happy with the excellent results!!

Cannot recommend these guys enough!! Already looking forward to round two!!! 😁

What a brilliant and productive day!!

As soon as I met them at the train station, which they were kind enough to pick me up from, we got along very easily with flowing conversation.

The studio is absolutely beautiful with wonderful props and a lot of potential.

Jo and Kev both aspire for perfection, and Jo is brilliant at taking detail on each shot and making sure the flow of my dress is perfect while Kev plays around with lighting for that final shot.

They work together as a great team and with many laughs and the kind offer of food midway we also got some brilliant images and I'll be talking about using their studio for a day!

Lovely to meet you both, thank you :)

I had a great shoot with jo and kev, non stop laughter.

Every prop I could imagine was there which was great as this allowed for versatility. Also there was a great selection of floorings and backdrops - so you really will be spoilt for choice!

I received around 20 images which I am happy with

Thank you,

Vee

Had the pleasure of shooting with the Brilliant Jo and Kev at my Old chapel studio day on the 25th. Not only are they professional, creative and extremely good at their craft, they are also really nice people! They really looked after me, which i very much appreciated as it was my first time at theirs, as well as in a totally new city.

We generally all got on really well and collaborated really well creatively.

I'm so glad we had a bit of time to shoot together, and i would absolutely love to come up and work with them again.

Highly recommended, and thank you both xx

I had a shoot with Kev and Jo at their studio - both very lovely professional people. The studio is lovely too , very warm, and has lots of different back drops and set ups. Both are professional and full of ideas and easy to work with. i would definitely recommend working with them if you haven't already. I was sent the images and I could choose which I wanted edited too :)

I will be organising another shoot again soon if they will have me :) . Love the photos :) thank you to you both xx

I had my first shoot with Jo and Kev. They are absolutely fantastic! They even offered me a lift to get there. They made me feel extremely welcome and meet me outside. Offered drinks and shown around the studio. They are both very friendly and kept a heater by me all the time :D!

During the shoot Jo and Kev worked together to get the best photos! They helped guide me and gave me lots of tips and ideas! We spoke quite a lot prior to the shoot for ideas that we could work with. They made me feel very confident!

They sent me all of the photos which were taken so I could choose which photos I would like to be edited. They were very prompt and kept me up to date with what they were doing. The images were extremely good quality and I am VERY happy!

I would 1 million percent recommend Jo and Kev! Hope to get the chance to work with them again! ♥ xxx

I had my third shoot with Jo and Kev at the beginning of December and it was fantastic as always. Very productive day as we decided to work on 4 different ideas. Their communication before the shoot is great. They're always well prepared and very supportive. The shoot run very smoothly and were just moving from one idea to another. I've received finished images in less than 2 weeks and there are so many I love. I would definitely recommend Jo and Kev and I hope that this time we're not gonna wait 2 years to organise another shoot. :)

Jo and Kev invited me to head over to shoot with them at the Old Chapel studio and I was very happy to accept! As it is a bit of a way from me and I was to be staying and shooting 2 days, they kindly put me up and fed me for a night which was very much appreciated! Pre-shoot comms were excellent, there was a good shoot plan, so I knew what to bring along. The shoot went extremely smoothly, we worked on some dance, musical instrument themed and aerial hoop sets. It was a pretty tiring day but Jo and Kev made sure I had enough rest between sets and kept me topped up with coffee, and looked after me very well on my studio day the day after too :) They are lovely people, generally and to shoot with, I can't recommend them enough. Many thanks to you both!

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome Jo and Kev to the studio on Saturday for their first booking.

A thoroughly professional couple in their approach. Pre shoot coms were excellent and a pre shoot visit to scout the place meant they made the most of the afternoon.

They obviously had fun.. Laughter and giggling abound from the undergrowth and the screams from the model in the waterfall kept the wildlife wondering what was going on.

All in all a top class couple who we hope will visit again soon. Next time I hope to be a better host and germ free so I can spoil them with lots of tea.

Shoot with JK-SW at their studio was well planned through pre comms, and executed with collabrative precision. Extemely creative couple who clearly enjoy different concepts and are very good at what they do. If you have a chance to work with them you will not be disappointed with the results.

Tanya Fitness

Had my second shoot with Jo and Kev last week. As before it was fantastic on many levels.

On the Saturday we shot at Far Forest Studios in the gardens, woodland and waterfall. Focusing on location art nude we had a lot of laughs, slips, squeals and fun. I unfortunately arrived a little late due to unforeseen traffic and roadworks, both studio and Jo and Kev were most understanding. Shooting over three hours flew by. They are great fun, very easy to get on with and have clear ideas of what is wanted. pre shoot and shoot communications are a dream and everyone knows what to expect and aim for.

On the Sunday we shot in Jo and Kevs studio The Old Chapel, the shoot focussed on my fitness art nude and posing and also costume. Again pre shoot communicate was great and we all knew what was being aimed for with a degree of flexibility to improvise and adjust accordingly.

Cant believe how many amazing shots we managed to capture over the two days!

I cannot recommend Jo and Kev highly enough, from being friendly, hospitable, professional and great photographers. A definite bonus to any models portfolio.

look forward to the shoot in 2017 :) x

I was really looking forward to this shoot as i had a chance to bring out my artistic side, and I'm glad jo and kevin got in touch with me for this idea, because I loved it.

It was a great shoot they made me feel very welcome and brought aloneg reference photos which I thought where very helpful for inspiration.

I would highly recommend jk-sw and i can't wait to see the finish images from the shoot:)

Alex Kelsey

Had my 3rd shoot with the wonderful Jo and Kev earlier this month, with myself & friend and new model Rich, to do a Calvin Klein Ad inspired photoshoot which I had been wanting to do for a while. They understood the concept and had everything set up when we arrived, which meant we could crack on straight away! As always I absolutely loved shooting with them, felt relaxed and confident, and am (as usual) over the moon with the final images :) Anyone would be privileged to shoot with them x

i would definitely recommend jk-sw, they picked me up and dropped me off and made me feel very comfortable, the whole shoot was very different and exciting and i really enjoyed it, they helped me with poses and made sure i felt ok in awkward poses. i had a great day and can't wait to see the finished images :)
