Wedding Photography
Specialising in capturing authentic wedding moments, our photography focuses on candid, natural interactions rather than staged poses. With over 400 weddings documented, we ensure every significant detail from pre-ceremony preparations to reception celebrations is preserved. Our approach combines technical expertise with artistic vision to create timeless images that reflect each couple's unique story.
Custom Packages
Flexible packages designed to match individual wedding needs, from intimate ceremonies to large-scale events. Options include ceremony-only coverage, full-day documentation, and add-ons like premium albums. We collaborate closely with couples to create bespoke plans that align with their vision, venue, and timeline without compromising on quality or deliverables.
Photo Editing
Professional editing enhances every image's emotional impact while maintaining authenticity. Our process includes colour correction, cropping, and lighting adjustments to ensure gallery-ready results. High-resolution files are delivered without watermarks, allowing unrestricted printing or sharing across digital platforms while preserving the natural aesthetic central to our photographic philosophy.
Print Services
Comprehensive print options included with premium packages, featuring custom-designed albums and selected prints. Albums use archival-quality materials for lasting preservation, while individual prints maintain professional standards for display. These tangible keepsakes complement digital deliverables, ensuring clients can showcase their wedding memories in both physical and electronic formats.
Online Galleries
Password-protected web galleries provide secure, convenient access to high-resolution images. Clients receive both print-ready and screen-optimised files for flexible sharing via email or social media. The platform maintains organisational clarity while ensuring copyright compliance, allowing couples to distribute images among family and friends without compromising file integrity or usage rights.

Questions
What wedding photography styles do you offer?
We specialise in natural, candid photography focusing on genuine interactions rather than posed shots. Our approach prioritises capturing authentic moments that reflect each couple's unique relationship dynamics and celebration atmosphere.
How many hours of coverage do packages include?
Packages range from 3-hour ceremony coverage to full-day 11pm coverage. The Complete Coverage option starts at 8 hours, with extensions available to ensure all key moments from preparations through reception celebrations are documented.
What's included in the final deliverables?
Clients receive high-resolution digital files on USB drives, password-protected web galleries, and print rights. Premium packages include physical albums and selected prints, with no watermarks or copyright restrictions on personal use.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 12-18 months ahead for popular dates, though availability checks can be made closer to your event. Early booking ensures coverage for preferred dates and allows more time for pre-wedding consultations.
Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?
While our packages focus on wedding day coverage, we offer pre-wedding consultations and can accommodate engagement shoots as add-ons. These sessions help build rapport and provide additional opportunities for natural imagery creation.

Jon is amazing. He was always in contact/contactable in the weeks and days leading up to our big day, his friendly and warm personality, his ability to explain things in simple terms, his positive attitude, his accessibility, his professionalism, and most importantly, his work, made everything less stressful. All our guests commented on how fantastic he was, and the photos he captured are absolutely stunning. Honestly, if you're getting married or just want someone to capture a big event in a way that you can look back on and not only see the beauty in yourself and others, but you can SEE the happiness

Highly recommend A++++. Jon was amazing! He was professional and patient and the final photos were fantastic. He met us for coffee at the venue a few weeks out so we could walk through the plan so there was no surprises on the day!

6Days out from our wedding he cancels. Not reliable and definitely not a quality service. Go elsewhere people or suffer the consequences. 1star for them because I'm polite should be less.

My husband and I had Jon at our wedding 1/7/16 and we could not recommend him highly enough. Jon made us feel so comfortable on the day and it was just so pleasant to have him there to shoot our special day. Jon's passion for his photography really shows in his work and we were so extremely happy when we got our photos back.
