About

Colin Jones Photography is a storyteller wedding photographer based in Hartlepool, in England's County Durham. This professional photographer works in both a documentary and fine art style to bring special occasions to life. Working with Colin Jones Photography begins with a complimentary and no-obligation consultation, during which Colin will get to know you and your partner. For the big day, this photographer offers all day and night coverage and free travel within Wales and England. Afterward, you will receive a USB stick, a private online gallery, and professionally edited images.

A Storyteller Wedding Photographer

The way Colin photographs weddings is to tell the story of the day. This is done in two ways.

#1 Documentary Style.

First, there is the documentary style, which is like “fly on the wall” photography, where I capture everything naturally. This enables me to photograph the true emotions of you and your guests and get all the laughs, cries, hugs, embarrassing moments, and general enjoyment of the day. This forms the “narrative” of the day.

#2 Creative Style.

This involves some but little guidance from myself to ensure we get the best quality and the most beautiful photographs we can. Don’t worry, this doesn’t involve cringy poses that can make you feel uncomfortable. In fact, it goes as far as “just walk over there” or “try standing here” and using the best light and composition possible. This forms the “plot” of the day.

So happy with how Colin captured our day, we asked for a relaxed documentary style and Colin 100% delivered. We felt so at ease with how he blended in with us all. He really gave it his all and we are so happy we decided to pick him. 100% recommended. Thank you from the bottom of hearts, you have given us pictures we will treasure forever.

Best Photographer Ever!!

I really don't know how to put into words how incredible Colin was not only on our wedding day but during the whole planning experience.

From the moment we chose Colin we knew we'd made the right decision! He was responsive to emails, answered all of our questions and the portal he uses to track payments/ contracts/ details is a brides dream- so organised. We also had our engagement shoot with Colin a year before our wedding which was a great opportunity for us to get used to Colin's photography style too. He made us feel comfortable, didn't ask us to do anything we weren't comfortable with and we had such a good laugh with him throughout.

On the wedding day itself he was the perfect mix of blending into the background to capture authentic candid moments, while also making sure to be there for all of the big moments too. He went above and beyond for us making sure he was there from getting ready in the morning all the way through to almost the end of our disco! I really can't recommend him enough to be a part of your big day.

Excellent experience, felt so personal.

Everything from start to finish was so personal, and we felt so at ease with Colin. I couldn't recommend him enough - and the photos honestly have perfectly captured our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
