www.jojoblingphotography.com I'm Jo and I am a creative photographer based in Dubai. I cover weddings and event photography, maternity, newborn and family photography as well as corporate headshots and interiors. I have a background in photographic art and over 10 years experience photographing weddings in both

Europe and the Middle East. In 2015 I was very honoured to win The Most Popular Photographer in Dubai and the UAE category at the Wedding Industry Experts Awards.

With professionalism and a beautiful eye for detail, I have built up a reputation in Dubai for creating stunning images for all clients, ensuring that every meticulous detail is captured so you are left with memories that last a lifetime. If you have an enquiry or any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me, I have an unhealthy obsession with tea and would love to meet for a cuppa and show you more of my portfolio :-)

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am really rather rubbish at posting and keeping up to date on here, I tend to edit my weddings, send on to my beautiful brides, move to my finished folder and move onto the next wedding to edit! I’m also such a perfectionist that I REALLY struggle to find the best shots to post 😅 I also get some post anxiety which I have no idea where it comes from, maybe some sort of imposter syndrome I don’t know 🥴

Anyway, here I am lapping up the British summer, spending time with the family and fitting in some work in between (usually on the rainy days haha) I just delivered M & F’s most FABULOUS Mehndi night 😍 full of colour of course but also SO much love and joy, many had travelled into the UAE, they were surrounded by so many friends and family and I hope I managed to capture all that love and emotion that I witnessed whilst I photographed it, thank you guys so much for letting me be a part of it all and I can’t wait to get your wedding gallery over to you soon!

I really struggled to fit into 10 images the story of your night but I hope you can see from what I chose how much of an amazing Mehndi night it was 🫶

Finally getting around to fixing my website and decided I’d better start posting more! I have so much which I’m yet to post so now’s as good a time as any 🩵

Details aren’t just ornaments; they’re the silent narrators of your love story. From the delicate embroidery on the bridal gown to the intricate lacework, each part contributes to the grand tapestry of your wedding day. It’s in the curve of the ring, the subtle hues of the flowers, and the sparkle in your eyes – those are the moments I love to freeze in time.

Why obsess over the details, you ask? Because years down the line, when you revisit these photographs, it’s not just a picture; it’s a time capsule. It’s the essence of the day preserved – the emotions, the anticipation, the raw beauty that unfolded in every small gesture.

So, to all the couples gearing up for their special day, embrace the importance of detail photography. Trust me, those seemingly small elements weave together to create a visual symphony that will resonate in your hearts for a lifetime. 🎶💖

As we stood hand in hand against the breathtaking backdrop of the Dubai skyline, we knew our decision to have a destination wedding in Dubai was nothing short of magical.

Dubai, with its blend of modern luxury and Arabian charm, offered us a range of venues to suit our unique style. From a romantic beachfront ceremony to an intimate celebration in a traditional setting, the options were as diverse as our love story.

What made our Dubai wedding truly stress-free was the impeccable hospitality and the expertise of local wedding planners. From decorations to logistics, they ensured every detail was perfect, allowing us to savor every moment of our special day.

Dubai didn’t just host our wedding; it became the backdrop to the start of our married life, a chapter filled with love, adventure, and the enchanting spirit of this extraordinary city. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that transcends ordinary, let Dubai be the canvas for your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Alright, let’s talk about that magical moment everyone waits for at a wedding – the bride and groom’s first dance. You know, where they take centre stage, surrounded by love and a killer song playing in the background? That’s the one!

First things first, choosing the right song is like finding the soul of your love story. Whether it’s a classic tearjerker or a funky beat that makes you both groove, the song has got to speak to your hearts.

Now, here’s the big question – do you choreograph the dance or just wing it with a freestyle? Some couples love a rehearsed routine, while others just go with the flow. Whatever feels like ‘you,’ that’s the way to go.

Imagine this – soft lights, maybe some fairy lights, or a killer backdrop. Creating the right vibe on the dance floor turns that moment into a scene straight out of a romance movie.

Work your photographer and videographer into the plan. You want them to capture the twirls, the glances, and the magic of your first dance. These photos are the ones you’ll be showing your grandkids someday!

Thinking of inviting others to join midway? It’s a cool way to transition from your intimate moment to a full-blown party on the dance floor.

Remember, it’s not just a dance; it’s a symbol. As you dance together, it’s like saying, ‘We’re in this for the long haul, and we’ve got each other’s backs.’

Your wedding day is not just about the vows and the beautiful dress – it’s also about the incredible squad standing by your side, your ride-or-die crew, the bridesmaids! Let’s dive into the wonderful world of bridesmaids and celebrate the unsung heroes of weddings.

Choosing your bridesmaids can be both exciting and challenging. Do you go for childhood friends, college buddies, or a mix of both? The key is to select those who have been a significant part of your journey and genuinely support your love story.

Then come the dresses – a source of excitement and, at times, a few dilemmas. Finding a dress that flatters everyone’s body type and fits your wedding theme can be a bit like solving a puzzle. But, oh, the triumph when you find that perfect ensemble that makes everyone feel like a million bucks!

Your bridesmaids are not just there for the wedding day; they are your partners in pre-wedding adventures. From helping you plan the bachelorette party to tackling DIY projects, their support and shared laughter make the whole process more enjoyable.

Wedding planning can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and your bridesmaids are your emotional anchors. They lend a listening ear, provide words of wisdom, and are there to share in both the excitement and any pre-wedding jitters.

Make sure your photographer captures those candid moments with your bridesmaids. From getting ready together to the goofy laughter and heartfelt hugs, these are the snapshots you’ll cherish forever.

Remember, your bridesmaids are not just a part of your wedding day; they are a cherished part of your life story. Cheers to the amazing bridesmaids who bring joy, laughter, and love to the wedding journey. Here’s to celebrating friendships that last a lifetime!

Hey, beautiful brides-to-be! Let’s talk about one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning – finding your makeup artist. You want to shine on your big day, and the right MUA can make all the difference. Here are some tips to help you pick the perfect glam squad.

Trust me, start your search early. Good makeup artists are like hotcakes – they get booked fast. So, lock in your dream MUA as soon as you’ve got that wedding date down.

Scroll through their portfolio on Instagram or wherever they showcase their work. Check if they’ve got that magic touch for different styles and skin tones. A diverse portfolio is like a beauty buffet – a little something for everyone.

Reach out to your friends, fam, or anyone in the wedding industry for recommendations. If someone’s face looked flawless on their big day, find out who the magician behind the brushes was.

Don’t skip the trial run! It’s like a makeup dress rehearsal. You get to see if the artist gets your vibe and if you’ll be glowing buddies on your wedding day. Spoiler: It’s a sneak peek into your bridal fabulosity.

You want good vibes with your MUA because they’ll be with you during some real ‘OMG, this is happening!’ moments. Find someone whose energy meshes with yours – it makes the whole process a lot more fun.

Dive into the world of online reviews. What are other brides saying? It’s like having a backstage pass to the MUA’s work ethic and how they handle real-life bridal drama.

Ask about the products they use. You want quality stuff that can handle happy tears, laughter, and all the dance floor action. A MUA’s kit is like their superhero arsenal – make sure it’s up to the task.

Lastly, trust your gut. If you can picture yourself being transformed into a bridal bombshell by this artist, you’re onto a winner.
Choosing a makeup artist is like finding your beauty soulmate. So, here’s to finding your glam squad and rocking that aisle like the queen you are! 💄✨

Okay, let’s talk bridal veils – yay or nay? It’s like this big decision that can have everyone buzzing. Some say it’s all about tradition and symbolism, while others are ditching the veil for a more modern vibe.

You’ve got the classic side – the veil adds this timeless charm, right? Picture it – walking down the aisle, veil trailing behind, giving you that whole romantic movie moment. Plus, the whole lifting-the-veil thing during the ceremony? It’s like the grand reveal, the start of a new adventure.

But, here’s the thing – the 21st-century bride is all about breaking norms. No veil? No problem. Some are rocking statement headpieces, flower crowns, or going all out with intricate hairstyles. It’s like, why stick to the old script when you can create your own?

And let’s not forget the practical stuff. Beach wedding? Veils might be a sandy mess. Church ceremony? Classic veil vibes all the way. It’s like you gotta consider the vibe of your day.

In the end, it’s all about you, your style, and the vibe you want. No right or wrong here. If a veil feels like your bridal soulmate, go for it. If not, rock that veil-free look. Your day, your rules. Make it a memory that screams ‘you’

Fabulous brides-to-be! We know you’re not just excited about the dress and flowers but also about those heartwarming wedding speeches. Whether you’re planning to take the mic or cheer on your chosen speakers, let’s talk about making those speeches epic.

So, here’s the deal: don’t procrastinate on those speeches. Get started early to avoid last-minute stress. You’ll thank us when you’re not scrambling for words the night before.

You’ve got a diverse crowd, right? Think about your guests when crafting those anecdotes. Inside jokes? Maybe save those for the after-party. Keep it inclusive, so everyone’s in on the love fest.

Laughter and tears, a perfect combo. Share the funny stories, but don’t forget the mushy stuff. It’s all about that sweet spot between humour and heart.

Remember, it’s a speech, not a TED talk. Aim for that sweet 3-5 minute mark. Keep it snappy to hold attention, and nobody’s nodding off during the good parts.

Take a minute to dish out the thanks. Guests, contributors, your amazing spouse—show them some love. Gratitude is always in style.

Queen B rehearses, and so should you. Practice in front of a mirror or your ride-or-die friend. Smooth delivery is the goal, and practice makes perfect.

Authenticity rules the day. Speak from the heart, and let your emotions shine. That realness is what’ll make your speech stick in everyone’s memory.

End it on a high note. A toast is the perfect way to wrap things up. It’s like saying, “Here’s to us!”—and who doesn’t love a good toast?

So, brides, with these tips in your back pocket, you’re ready to rock those wedding speeches. Here’s to a day filled with love, laughter, and killer words. Cheers! 🥂

Hello there, future blushing bride! Ready to say YES to the dress? Let’s chat about how to make this dress-finding journey a breeze 👰

First things first, Pinterest your heart out! Create a board, and pin like there’s no tomorrow. What catches your eye? Lace sleeves, A-line skirts, or maybe some boho vibes? Let your inner fashionista loose.

Forget about all those crazy body shape classifications. You’re you, and that’s awesome! But, hey, understanding what makes you feel fabulous can guide you. Curves, straight lines, whatever you got – there’s a dress that’ll make you feel like a superstar.

Money talk might not be the most glamorous, but it’s crucial. Set a realistic budget, including alterations and accessories. You want to look like a million bucks without breaking the bank, right?

Time to hit the boutiques! Schedule some appointments, and let the dress try-on party begin. Bring your squad – the honest ones who won’t sugarcoat it. They’ll help you separate the “meh” from the “OMG, this is the one!”

Remember that vision you had? Well, it might evolve. Be open to trying on different styles. Dresses surprise us; what looks meh on the hanger might be pure magic on you.

Picture this: beach waves, garden greenery, or city lights. Your dress should vibe with your wedding location. It’s like the final puzzle piece that makes everything click.

Comfort is queen. Imagine dancing the night away in your dream dress. Choose one that lets you strut, twirl, and bust a move without feeling like you’re in a straitjacket.

Don’t be fashionably late to the dress party. Start shopping early – like, 8 to 10 months before your big day. Dresses need time for alterations, and you don’t want to stress about it.

When you find the dress that gives you all the feels, trust your gut. Does it align with your vibe? Does it scream “you”? If it does, congrats – you just found the one!

So, let the hunt for the dream dress begin! Enjoy every moment! Happy dress shopping!🌟

Hey there, soon-to-be-weds! Ready to dive into the exciting world of wedding planning? Well, let’s start with one of the biggies – finding that magical venue that screams “This is where the love happens!” Here are some down-to-earth tips to make sure you get it right.

Grab your partner, a cuppa, or maybe a glass of fizz, and talk about your dream wedding. Picture the vibe – is it rustic and cozy, or maybe you’re feeling the glitz of an elegant ballroom? Having a vision in mind will make your venue hunt a breeze.

Let’s talk money. Set a budget early on – and I mean a real one. It’s not just about the venue rental; remember to factor in all those little extras. Knowing your budget helps you avoid falling in love with a place that’s way out of your price range.

Size matters! How many friends and family members are you inviting? Make sure your venue can handle the crowd. No one wants Uncle Bob doing the chicken dance in a cramped space. Check the capacity, and if in doubt, go a bit bigger to give everyone breathing room.

Think about your guests. Is the venue easy to get to? Enough parking spaces? If Aunt Mildred is flying in from Timbuktu, you want to make sure she’s not stuck in traffic for hours. Convenience is key.

Schedule some venue visits! You can’t judge a place by its website. Go see it in person, feel the vibe, imagine yourself saying “I do” there. And don’t be shy – ask tons of questions. This is your day, after all!

Check out the venue’s policies. Are they cool with your choice of caterer, or do they have a list of preferred vendors? Know the rules before you sign on the dotted line. You don’t want any surprises later.

Listen to the whispers of other couples. Read those reviews! They’ve been in your shoes. Real talk about their experiences can be a game-changer in making your decision.

Choosing your wedding venue should be fun, not stressful. So, grab your partner, hit the road, and find that dream spot where your love story will unfold. Cheers to the journey ahead! 🎉

Okay, let’s spill the tea on why having a photographer at your wedding is like adding the secret ingredient to a perfect recipe. 📸✨
First things first – your wedding is a blockbuster, and you’re the stars. A photographer? Well, they’re your backstage pass to freeze-frame those crazy, beautiful moments. You’ve got vows, tears, laughter – the whole shebang. A photographer captures it all, turning your day into a Netflix-worthy series.
Now, close your eyes and picture this: You, a few years from now, flipping through pics of your big day. It’s not just about remembering; it’s about reliving. A photographer is like a time-travel wizard, making sure every hug, every goofy grin, and every dance move is etched in visual history.
Oh, and candid moments? They’re like the sprinkles on your wedding cake. A photographer catches your grandma doing the electric slide or your best friend stealing the show. Blink, and you might miss it. But thanks to your trusty photographer, those gems are forever.
And let’s not forget the group pics – the ones where your squad is all glammed up. Your uncle might rock a selfie stick, but a photographer turns that pic into a masterpiece. No missing out on Aunt Sue’s epic hat or your cousin’s photobomb skills.
Long story short, a photographer isn’t just a camera-wielder; they’re the memory-makers. When life gets crazy, and you want to hit replay on the best day ever, those photos are your time machine.
So, take my word for it – hire that photographer. Future you will be sending you virtual hugs and high-fives for the genius move. 🎉📷
