ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I'm John, an Essex wedding photographer and videographer capturing wedding stories in Essex, London and beyond. My work is all about easy going, relaxed and elegant wedding photography and videography which reflect the uniqueness, romance and joy of your wedding day. I tell authentic tales of love, through memorable, emotional and eye-catching imagery and video.

From the moment we meet, this is all about YOU. Every couple is different, so I will seek out your priorities, who the key people are at your wedding, and what YOUR story is. It's my privilege to reflect all of this in your wedding photographs and video. I look forward to connecting with you both and creating wedding memories together, that you'll love forever.

Experience

A wedding experience tailored to you because your story together is unique and special...

I work collaboratively with my clients, bringing a guiding, creative voice, but also someone who champions everything you desire for your wedding. I invest time into growing a relationship with my couples and will keep in touch with you throughout your journey to your wedding day. The entire experience is tailored to you.

​

On the day, my confident yet relaxed photographic style focuses on a documentary storytelling approach with a touch of an editorial vibe. Plenty of candid images and video of your guests, and all the big and small moments.

 

With your couple's photos, I will ensure you feel at ease, unforced and completely in the moment with each other. Your images and videos will reflect the fun and emotional moments of your day and be a detailed, beautiful representation of your own unique love story.
