ABOUT | Instinct Wedding

Firstly, I am really glad you are here and I hope you're loving your wedding planning journey so far! :)

Let me introduce myself - I am Justina Woodger. I have been photographing weddings for nearly a decade and I feel truly blessed for being trusted by so many couples to capture one of the most important days of their lives. Being able to witness and capture so many beautiful love stories is a privilege and honour that I feel grateful for every day.

One of the most common questions I get asked is - where is this accent from. The accent is from Lithuania. I grew up in a small town in a family of artists in Easter Europe, surrounded by forests, lakes, art, literature, old cameras and never ending curiosity for exploring the beautiful things in life. I have been living in the UK for all of my adult life.

I currently live in Maidstone and I love that this job has enabled me to travel all around the UK for beautiful weddings.

Let me list a few things that I do care about so you can see if it resonates:

-You. Honestly, if you choose to work with me, I will work for you. I listen and genuinely care about what you want, what's important, what's unimportant to you. I have system in place where I ask you in-depth questions and you tell me if there are any specific things you want - we'll get it captured. You want me to recreate your grandparents wedding photo? - YES!

You want me to find the best spot for sunset photo - YES!

You want me to make you feel at ease, give you enough direction so you don't feel lost, but not too much direction so you don't start feeling like an awkward models - YES!

-Quality. I believe that your wedding photos deserve to be the absolutely best quality. Sharp, well lit, intentional and well thought through to whitstand the test of time so you can still be proud to show them to your grandkids.

If you decide to print your photos, I want you to be able to proudly display it as work of art. And that's why I invest in the best, state of art cameras and lenses. To have professional quality photos is why you hire the professional.

-Professionalism. I care about your experience with me. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing that I will be on time, unintrusive, stepping in when needed, and blending into the background at other times.

-Emotions in motion. I believe this is my main strength as a photographer- to always be on a lookout for the next beautiful candid moment to capture. Those in-between moments are usually the ones that you will want to look at over and over again.

-Capturing your day as it happens, but from the most beautiful angle. I am such an eternal optimist and perfectionist I always look out for the angles and ways to capture your wedding day in a way that feels elevated, beautiful, high quality. I want your wedding album to feel like the most beautiful representation of your wedding day.

Every year I only take a very limited amount of weddings 15-20 is my top, because I really want to give my all to the couples the care and attention that you deserve so booking in advance is adviseable although I may able to accommodate some last minute bookings too.

I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have - drop me an email, if you are local to Kent (I'm in Maidstone), I'd love to meet up for a coffee and see if we click (no obligation to book!).

I offer a complimentary pre-wedding session to every couple who decides to work with me for a full day wedding - just to give you that little extra boost of excitement before your wedding day. Also, I see this as a beautiful opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other before your big day.

I hope this answers some of your questions about who I am and how I work. If you resonate, or would like to find out more - please get in touch.
