Photography Services
At Neurodivergent Lens we don’t expect anything beyond your authentic self, so if you are planning your big day and want it capturing professionally, we provide photography that works with yours and/or your guests access needs with respect and understanding from fellow neurodivergents.
Weddings
events
Whether you are planning an accessible event, or you simply want to work alongside likeminded people who’s approach considers accessibility and inclusion throughout the process from planning through to delivery, we will work with you at every step to make sure your event is documented exactly as you envision.
Photoshoots
We know that putting yourself in front of a camera can be a daunting experience, but when using an empathic approach photographs can be an amazing tool for helping empower us to explore who we are through visual creativity.

Jess Robinson
She/Her
Being neurodivergent has given Jess the ability to see and feel deeply the beauty in the details of everyday life, and her camera is the creative tool that lets her translate this to others. Photography has played a fundamental part for Jess in figuring out her own brain since diagnosis, helping her feel part of communities she previously struggled to feel part of (such as live music), and giving her confidence she never knew she had.
Jess now works as both a professional photographer and an educator/creative facilitator, using her lived experience of neurodivergence to envision and create a better world for those similar to herself and beyond.

How we work
What is an accessible photography service?
Below is a small list of the kind of things we can offer to make any of our photography services accessible to you (and/or your guests), but we are of course completely open to any adjustments and will discuss with you during a consultation.
No flash photography
Extra time whenever you need it during the day, event or photoshoot (we will never hurry you!)
Well structured and pre-planned couple/group photos at weddings
Well structured and pre-planned photoshoots
Stickers for any guests who don’t wish to be photographed to wear throughout the wedding day or event
For all clients we offer a consultation in a format that suits you and us.
This can be video chat, email, WhatsApp text or voice/video messages, (or if you are local to Manchester this can be in person).
If you are non-verbal, we will communicate in whatever way suits you.
During the meeting we will discuss:
The structure of the day, event or photoshoot
Anything specific that you want photographing
What access requirements you and/or your guest’s have
What we expect from you as our client
Any anxieties you have that we can work to reduce for you
