Meet Strong Rock

Welcome!

We’re Jason and Pearl aka Strong Rock.

We’re a husband and wife team who have been together for an amazing 14 years.

Before we even met, we had the same outlook on life. Over the years, we’ve both regularly donated blood and given our time, support, and energy to voluntary organisations.  We continue ‘’doing our bit’’ by helping others and spreading a little kindness where we can.

We love spending time together and having fun. We especially love going on staycations and traveling abroad. We’re both passionate SCUBA divers and have been lucky enough to dive in some stunning locations around the world.

On one of our trips, a few years ago, we were sitting on a sunny Moroccan terrace when we decided we needed a name for our photography business. After much racking of our brains and a few mojitos, we realised that the answer was staring us in the face; thanks to our French surname, which is Rochefort.

Rochefort literally means “strong rock” in French. We had found our brand name and Strong Rock was born!

Following the pandemic, we realised that life is too short, and we wanted to spend as much time as possible together. We needed to make some BIG changes. And what better way, than getting to spend every day together, doing what we genuinely love to do (and getting paid for it). 

Pearl has always been a key part of the photography business. Weekends, she’s usually busy videoing weddings and the evenings she spends editing them; all the while holding down her salaried, and challenging at times role in the third sector.  

Pearl decided it was the right time to join the business on a permanent basis and like everything else she does, she has jumped in with both feet.

We feel very fortunate to have jobs which we feel very passionate about. Working together doesn’t EVEN feel like work most of the time.

We’re a very laid back, straightforward couple who do not take ourselves too seriously. We’re really friendly and chatty and over the years we have developed our own style of photography. We can shoot in both traditional and documentary style to record your dream day, usually veering to the latter more candid approach. This means we tend to work in the background, mingling and blending in with your wedding guests.

We realise that feelings can sometimes run high on such an emotionally charged day. We do our best to put you at your ease, helping you to feel natural and relaxed in front of the camera. We love to capture those candid shots, those special unseen moments of laughter, tears, glances and kisses, sealing magical memories for years to come.

We want your day to be magical, to naturally flow around you. So, keeping it simple, goes a long way.

Your wedding day is a day that you’re going to remember for as long as you live. Your wedding photos are an investment, a keepsake of your joyous day.

Having said that, we believe that the whole wedding industry is extortionately overpriced. Anything which has the word ‘’wedding’’ attached to it, as a customer you’re expected to fork out over the odds for it.

We know there are many moving parts to a wedding, things cost money and these costs soon add up.

We truly believe that we offer an excellent service at an affordable price without having to inflate our prices to include that wedding premium.

You’ll have stunning images, in both black and white and colour, and fabulous video that really capture the spirit of your dream day!
