About Me

I’m Jonathan—a documentary wedding photographer based in Oxfordshire, but I’ll go anywhere in the UK for a canny wedding! I’m a proud Geordie, which means three things:  

1. I belt out Sam Fender in the car like I’m headlining Glastonbury.  

2. Since moving down south I really miss being able to buy a Stottie cake from Greggs!

3. I say spelk instead splinter which really annoys my wife!

At home, I’m outnumbered by my wife Sophie (half-Portuguese, 100% brilliant), our 5-year-old son Freddie (who’s already smarter than me), 3-year-old Phoebe (a tiny tornado of cuteness), and 17-year-old Lily (who’s growing up so fast it’s like she’s got her foot on the accelerator). Sophie and I have been together for nearly 15 years—we got hitched in Portugal in 2015 and basically forced all our mates to turn it into a holiday (no regrets). The best bit? Sneaking off for five minutes just the two of us and grinning madly about how great the day was.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll find me:  

•Travelling — My top spots? India (chaotic but incredible), Mauritius (paradise with extra rum), and New York (where I took Lily for her 16th birthday and had an incredible time).

•Binge-watching telly - Friends is an old favourite and Ted Lasso is currently my first choice. The Amsterdam episode ("Sunflowers") is unbeatable. That bike scene is pure joy.

•Or Secretly watching Pitch Perfect —Don’t judge me!

I’ve been shooting weddings since 2018, and have photographed well over 100 now, it’s honestly the best job ever. Why? Because I get to hang out with cracking couples, capture all the belly laughs and happy tears, and then dance like no one’s watching (though, let’s be honest, I am watching—with my camera). My style? Relaxed, natural, and zero cheesy poses. My favourite best part of the day? The dancing, when everyone’s had a few and forgets I’m there—that’s when the magic happens.  

If your idea of a perfect wedding involves great tunes, even better company, and a photographer who’s more a mate with a camera than bossy director, then let’s have a chat! (Bonus points if you’ve got a dog).
