Jonny provided an exceptional service. He was so friendly and discrete on the day and captured exactly what we were hoping for. He has been communicative and efficient throughout and the album he put together is incredible. Couldn’t be happier and we highly recommend him.

Jonny… wow, where do we even begin? Having seen and loved your work before, we knew you would do an incredible job, but you completely surpassed anything we could have imagined.The photos, or rather, works of art, you’ve given us have become something so special. They captured not just how our wedding looked, but exactly how it felt. They are memories we’ll treasure forever.Trusting you to capture the best day of our lives was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made. You made everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and somehow managed to preserve not only the moments we experienced ourselves, but all the beautiful little moments we missed too. Thanks to you, we get to relive our entire day over and over again.Jonny, you’re simply the best, and we couldn’t be happier or more grateful for everything you’ve done. Thank you so much. 🤍

Jonny was incredible from start to finish. From our initial call we knew he was the perfect photographer for us - so much so we actually booked him before our venue! He was professional and friendly throughout, and tailored his approach to our vision for the day. The photos are incredible. Jonny captured all the big moments, and the subtle ones too. The balance between fitting in the formal wedding photos with friends and family and the candid moments of the day was perfect. We really cannot recommend Jonny enough, and we'll be looking back on his photos with pure joy for many many years. Thank you so much Jonny for making our day incredible!

I wish there was more stars. As well as just being an all round awesome human. Jonny's skills are incredible. Our wedding album and the whole process couldn't have been more perfect.On the day there was no stress, he listened to us and most our album is unscripted shots, as we wanted. He captured our love and the vibe for the event. The reel video he made makes us cry happy tears everytime. I cannot recommend him enough. Guests commented on how amazing his interactions with them were.Absolute legend and master of his craft. Worth every penny and went above and beyond.

We absolutely loved working with Jonny and are so happy with the gorgeous photos he captured from our wedding day!Jonny made us feel completely at ease, and so many of our friends and family also commented on how lovely it was to work with Jonny. He somehow always managed to be in the right place at the right time without interfering with the natural flow of things. The photos really reflect the warmth and joy of the special day, and he captured so many happy, funny moments with a great eye for detail. Thank you so much, Jonny!

This review can be summed up in three simple words: BOOK JONNY NOW.We met Jonny at a close friend’s wedding four years ago, he was absolutely brilliant and the photos were incredible - we have had an epic shot he took of us up on our library wall since then. When we got engaged, we knew we couldn’t have anyone else photograph our wedding, and so we couldn’t believe our luck that Jonny was free on our, very last minute, date.We wanted chilled, unfussy, personal, arty, documentary style epic photography - enter Jonny.The whole process leading up to the wedding was brilliant, Jonny totally got the vibe and really helped up visualise our day (and keep us chilled). He was an absolute joy to have there with us - not only is he an incredible photographer, but he is also such great fun to have as part of your party. He has a way of blending in to the group to get the perfect shots (to the point where you don’t notice he’s there, so never feel awkward), but also joining the party and making you feel like you’ve known him for years! He also helps guide and direct you on the day to get the perfect moments captured in an authentic way.We knew without even seeing the photos that they were going to be great but OH GOODNESS nothing could have prepared us for just how amazing they were. Jonny captured everything so perfectly, the laughter, the joy, the love, the little moments. It was like reliving it all over again. We have the most beautiful pictures of our favourite people and that is something we will treasure. Thank you so much Jonny!Joely, Ben and Zappa

This is an extremely belated THANK YOU and 5*+ review for Jonny! Jonny was a dream from start to finish. From the booking and prep calls through to the day itself, Jonny made us feel so comfortable. He had great tips throughout and took more beautiful photos than I could have ever imagined! We particularly love all the stunning candid shots we have of our family and friends - we will treasure them forever. We could not recommend Jonny more highly! Thank you +++

Jonny was exactly what we hoped for, in that he was fun, relaxed and very discreet. We LOVE our wedding photos. They really capture the natural and laid back wedding which we had, all the important moments and people were there - and yet he was never in anyone's face. I would HIGHLY recommend Jonny. Everything about the interactions, the quality of the photos and the whole experience was brilliant. Thank you so much Jonny. Joanna and Piers xxx

Jonny did the photography for our wedding in October and he was absolutely amazing. He got some really great spontaneous shots and we are loving every photo he has taken. All our guests spoke very highly of Jonny. They all enjoyed talking to him and everyone said he was a very lovely person. We are so happy we chose Jonny for our special day, he was worth every penny and did an amazing job!

Where do I even begin! From start to finish, Jonny has been the most outstanding person to work with! After stumbling upon his website we instantly loved his informal, documentary style photos and instantly booked him for our wedding. Communication was excellent- with two video calls throughout the process to discuss our vision. This meant that Jonny could turn up on the day and knew exactly how/where to get the best shots! Jonny was punctual, professional, he looked the part and everyone really enjoyed his friendly and relaxed approach! The photos just show how relaxed we all felt with him (particularly as I don’t really enjoy having my photo taken).The photos that Jonny took are simply breathtaking. He captured the joy, love and colour of the day. His eye for detail is exceptional and every time I look at the pictures I spot something new and love them even more. We will cherish these FOREVER and I cannot believe how fortunate we were to have found Jonny. If you’re looking for some fun, informal yet STUNNING photos of your wedding then do not hesitate to book Jonny, you absolutely will not regret it!

Jonny was our wedding photographer in June 2025. Throughout the day he was such a calming, professional and experienced presence. The photos are exceptional; Jonny captured all the little moments and expressions. We would recommend Jonny in a heartbeat! Absolutely class.

Jonny was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. He captured our wedding beautifully and provided us with a stunning album of photos that we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend him

Liberty Welch

Jonny is simply an incredibly photographer (and person!). He came recommended to us by two sets of friends who recently married and what can I say, we’re so glad we went with him. From the moment we enquired, he was quick to respond to any questions we had. On the day, he was so friendly and laid back and instantly put us at ease. One of the things we appreciated most was how effortlessly he blended into the day. For most of it, we hardly noticed he was there, which is honestly the best compliment.What sets Jonny apart is his ability to anticipate those split-second emotions. Looking through our album felt like reliving the day. Not just the big parts like ceremony and confetti shot, but all the in-between moments that made it so special. Nothing ever felt staged or forced. We simply couldn’t recommend Jonny highly enough! Thanks Jonny!

Jonny captured the most beautiful moments from our wedding in the Cotswolds. He's a fantastic photographer who brought a lot of fun, energy, and charm to the day. We really appreciated how easy and flexible it was to work with Jonny. The photos turned out great, with lots of fun candid moments that has really helped us remember small details of the most wonderful day.

We cannot thank Jonny enough for the fantastic photos he took of our day! They are just perfect - bright, colourful, energised and unique. Jonny has such an eye for composing a photo, I'm truly envious of his skill! We went through our photos seeing new, beautiful and unexpected views of our wedding.Jonny was an absolute joy to plan with, and was a brilliant presence on the day - reassuring, fun and relentlessly friendly. My only regret is not booking him to stay with us for 12 hours instead of 10!I just cannot recommend Jonny enough!

Annabel Gray

Jonny was absolutely AMAZING!! I would 100% recommend him as a wedding photographer. He made me and my husband feel so comfortable - we thought we wouldn’t enjoy going to have our couple photos, but we found it one of the most special parts of the day because Jonny made the whole process feel so relaxed! The pictures he took were incredible. He really captured every part of the day and he did it without anyone really noticing he was there! Thank you so much Jonny - we love the photos (if there was an option for 6 stars 🌟 you would have it!!)

Joel

We cannot recommend Jonny enough!Not only were the photos amazing, but he made us feel so comfortable on the day - he didn't make us pose and made sure we had fun, which captured some wonderful candid moments.Even our wedding guests commented on how great they thought he was. He fitted in with the guests - you didn't even notice he was there snapping away! Plus he was a lovely addition to the bridal getting ready party - we had a few calls ahead of the day so it didn't feel like a stranger was coming to your big day.Jonny put together a beautiful album for us and was so patient with our feedback, happy to make even the smallest of tweaks till we were happy. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories of our special day Jonny!!

We found Jonny online and we could not be happier that we chose him as our photographer! The photos are fantastic and just as brilliant as we expected having seen his website and having met him. They really captured the essence of the day without being staged and we cannot wait to hang some on our walls. Just as importantly, Jonny was a pleasure to have around - great company and funny, and super laid back but very perceptive. Lots of our guests said what a nice chap he is and he really was great to have around. His approach is relaxed and thorough and we had every confidence in him from the start. Jonny really went above and beyond for us, driving with us to a different location just so we could get some fabulous pictures on the first day of the wedding and we really appreciated the effort he went to in this regard. We're thrilled with the pics and can't recommend Jonny highly enough.

Jonny was fantastic! We were married in Suffolk on the 1st June, a few weeks ago and are so happy that Jonny was our photographer. He really listened to what we wanted and having just looked at the photos now, he more than delivered. Professional and personal throughout and just fun to photograph with. He has done a super job getting the intimate photos as well capture the energy and life of the party. Thank you so much Jonny, hoping this will be my only wedding but if not, will be sure to use you again. Freddie

What an absolute joy it was working with Jonny and having him photograph our wedding. We booked him after a personal recommendation and are so please we did. He was incredibly professional but also very fun and personable throughout the whole process. He put us both and our families at ease on the day and was like having an extra friend at the wedding. His photos are just beautiful - so vibrant, colourful and really capture the vibe and feeling of the day. The photos have exceeded our expectations and we would have no hesitation to recommend him to any couple.

Where to begin! We just can’t believe how incredible our photos are. Jonny is truly talented. I’ve never seen such incredible wedding photos in all my life (and no not just because they are ours!) just so so thrilled and I don’t know how we will ever decide which to print! We absolutely LOVE them! Jonny really captured the total essence of the whole day! We honestly are just THRILLED that we had him as our photographer.Not only were our photos insane, Jonny was an absolute joy to have on the day, the nicest guy and barely even noticed our photos being taken! Jonny made us feel totally as ease in the lead up too, which we all know can be rather stressful! Giving us amazing advice and one less thing to think or worry about.Book him - you won’t regret it!!Thank you Jonny!Soph and Guy x

Richard Boden

Jonny - you picked the right profession! your wedding photos are absolutely stunning - a mix of the esoteric, arty, traditional, capturing people in unguarded moments at the right time. Completely brilliant. Thank you so so much.

Dan Jupp

Jonny is awesome. Simple as that. He is a must for your wedding or for any occasion for that matter. I don’t enjoy having my photo taken but he made me so comfortable and put me at such ease. The day was beautiful and Jonny just did his thing and the results are incredible. He was a wonderful presence at our wedding and not once did we feel pestered. We were glad we could share it with him. Thank you Jonny! and to anyone reading this considering a photographer, you just found them.

Alex Fathers

Jonny did the most amazing job with our wedding photography. The end results were amazing and he was a joy to have there on the day, very calm & chilled which is exactly what you need! He got the perfect amount of candid and posed photos so everything was covered. I haven't stopped looking through the photos since - so glad we made the choice to book Jonny! I would highly recommend!!

Tom Ferguson

1689533047

We can’t recommend Jonny enough for wedding photography! He and his second photographer Liam helped make us feel so relaxed on the day - we had a great laugh doing all our couple photos and most importantly the photos themselves are absolutely delightful. We also used a videographer that Jonny recommended and they bounced off each other brilliantly to perfectly capture our day.Jonny is not only a great photographer, he’s a lovely man, he was willing to go above and beyond and also gave us some great advice for the wedding. He was respectful, funny and kind and we were very happy with our choice of photographer!

Alice Wright

1687538678

This review is so long overdue but we just wanted to say how incredibly talented Jonny is. And as a bonus he’s a really nice guy. He put together our wedding album and the whole process was seamless. It was so easy to communicate with him as well. He is very professional and has a superb eye for detail and design. Thank you so much Jonny!!

Jonny is a joy to work with - he takes brilliant pictures that really capture the precious moments whilst being really kind, considerate and fun! I hardly noticed him taking pictures on the day and I was so pleased to come away with a beautiful album. A selection of my favourites are attached - thanks again.

Firstly Jonny is one of a few people Kew Gardens have approved to take wedding photos at their venue.My daughter Kathryn was married at the end of May 23, they say a picture is worth a 1000 words ask Jonny to to see this portfolio, it’s a million words recommendation.Ian Hayward father of the bride.

For full transparency: we haven't had our photos back yet because our wedding was only a couple of days ago - will edit this review when they come in.Jonny was actually the first vendor we booked - we selected our wedding date around his availability.My husband hates getting his photo taken and he hates having to pose for endless family photos, to the point where he didn't want a photographer at our wedding at all. Of course, there was no world in which that was going to happen. So instead I asked him: if I can find a documentary style photographer, who won't make you pose for hours with every single family member, who you'll barely even notice is there - can we book them?We found Jonny and the rest is history. Since I haven't got photos yet I'll focus on Jonny as a person: he's super communicative, incredibly friendly, and so on top of everything. When we booked him he sent us a wedding pack in the post full of Q&As and things we can expect. Ahead of the day itself we had a skype call where we talked through every image we definitely wanted and where he asked us about any concerns we may have - photography related or not. Having him around on the wedding day made things feel a bit easier, because you had a true pro there with you and even if you didn't know what to expect you knew you were in safe hands.And the icing on the cake: my husband loved having Jonny around so much that he said I was right for insisting on photos.Thanks so much Jonny for being you!EDIT (5 hours after posting this - he's a speedy one Jonny!): Saw our teasers today and wow - definitely worth every single penny. He really captured our silliness, which is EXACTLY what we'd hoped for.

Tom Davies

1686233787

Jonny was the dream photographer for our wedding, put us both at ease and was great with our friends and family - it genuinely felt like he was one of the guests and he was so fun. He was really attentive to what we wanted, with lots of contact time ahead of the wedding. Not only did he make sure we had a great time on the day whilst getting the shots we needed but all of his photos are stunning. We would highly recommend booking him for your event!

Oliver Roberts

1686128595

An absolutely fantastic wedding photographer! Jonny was friendly, personable and very helpful throughout the whole process, from our pre-wedding shoot to the wedding itself. We didn't have to spend ages getting staged shots and he concentrated on more natural photos during the wedding, which meant we had more time chatting and having fun! The photos from our pre-wedding shoot were excellent and we can't wait to see the pictures from our wedding. I'd thoroughly recommend Jonny to anyone!

Rhiann

1685541006

We can't say enough good things about Jonny! He was an incredible photographer. From our first zoom call he made us feel so comfortable and made the process really easy for us. Both my husband and I are normally very awkward in front of the camera but with Jonny we were both instantly at ease. We've just got our photos back and we are obsessed! There isn't a bad shot in the bunch and Jonny made such an effort to organise all the photo moments we wanted to capture. He also got great photos of all of the guests, everyone is so pleased and so impressed with the quality, I haven't stopped getting messages about them! Couldn't recommend Jonny enough :)

Grace Robertson

1683039574

Jonny is a fantastic photographer - we had him for our small London wedding and he really slotted in like a member of the family for the day! He makes sure he gets the shot without being intrusive and I’d really recommend him for anyone who is not used to getting their photo taken but wants to have memories of their special day!

Scott Macdonaldson

1681939141

Jonny is an absolute delight to have around on your wedding day, not only that but he effortlessly smashes getting top notch photos out of the park, funny candids to heartwarming moments. Wonderful before, after and during the big day thoroughly recommend.

Simon Apps

1680708665

Not only is Jonny incredibly talented but he is also an absolute gem of a human. We couldn't be happier with the amazing photos captured from both of our weddings! Jonny was fantastic when we had just a couple of weeks to plan an intimate, covid-restricted wedding in 2020, and then again when we managed the big party two years later.He clearly loves his trade and his enthusiasm is infectious whilst his experience in managing the flow of the day helped to keep us both calm. Jonny captured the essence, intimacy and general greatness of our special day(s) and I can't recommend him enough.Hopefully neither of us will ever get married a third time but if we do, I guarantee that Jonny will be there.

Emma Roberts

1680684487

Jonny has photographed two weddings for my daughters and now done a corporate shoot for my company. Every time has been relaxed and fun filled (even with a reluctant subject, me!!). I cannot recommend him highly enough. He always catches the vibe of the day and fits in to any environment without being remotely intrusive. His photos are wonderful, natural and full of energy. Definitely book him if you get the chance, you won’t regret it! Thank you again Jonny!
