MEET THE TEAM
Hello and a massively warm welcome. We’re Alexa & Damian, the team behind Damian Thurston Photography (formerly Jellyfish Photography). We met whilst studying at the University for the Creative Arts in Surrey and currently live in Central Bedfordshire with our two beautiful children Fin & Isla and super cute puppy, Berkeley.
Damian started his career in the photography industry in 1999, working as a portrait & makeover photographer, running three successful studios in Luton & Milton Keynes and Alexa was working for a large media company in London. In 2005, after having our son Finlay we decided to collaborate and set up a photography business together. This was a great way for us to combine our creative passions and experiences perfectly! Since establishing we’ve had the absolute pleasure in photographing hundreds of fabulous moments all over the UK.
We totally love what we do and providing our clients with wonderfully documented memories is our focus at all times. Damian is extremely fun-loving and is great at quickly getting you relaxed in front of the camera, helping you feel at ease so we can capture all of those awesome shots. If you are looking for something special with professional, creative photography, please get in touch and we would be delighted to discuss your ideas with you further.

“We couldn't be happier with our choice in photographer! Damian is a pleasure to work with. Not only is Damian reliable and flexible but he was a joy to have on our special day. Everyone felt calm and relaxed in front of the camera. Our photos are everything we could have wished for capturing not just the group shots but some more natural shots of the guests and the day itself. Through Damian's professional work we are able to have photos that show every element of our big day. Thank you!”
Rose
“Couldn't of imagined having anyone better and nicer photograph our big day!!! Damian is definitely part of one of our happy memories of our perfect day!!!”
Helen
“2 years ago Damien photographed our wedding day:) our photos were beautiful and we were beyond pleased. By pure chance my auntie hired a photographer for my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary party and low and behold it was Damien that turned up:)) again the photos were more than we could've hoped for. Highly recommended!!!”
Tara
“Damien photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We had a consultation before the event, so that our photo album wishes for the day were granted. Throughout the day, from the bridal party getting ready, to speeches and first dance, the photographer made sure all our image requests were shot. He made all the guests feel relaxed and comfortable being snapped - especially winning over the kids. The follow up service was also great, with easy access to our online gallery which we could share with our guests so that they could order their own photos of they day. First class service from start to finish and I'd recommend to anyone.”
Christie
“We have some lovely pictures of our special day. Great communication all the time! Personalized service and dedication during the whole day and after. Great professionals, you have loads of possibilities and a full range of prices to choose from depending on your budget.”
