Last update: September 2026

Hi, I’m Jon.

I’m a documentary wedding photographer based in Kent, covering weddings across Kent, East Sussex and the South East.

Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot.

You’ve planned a day to spend with the people who matter to you, not hours standing in front of a camera. I keep things relaxed, let the day happen naturally and step in when you need me, so you get great photographs without the photography taking over.

I’m there for the big moments, but just as importantly, everything happening around them. The nerves before the ceremony, the reactions, the hugs, the laughter, the speeches, the tears, the terrible dance moves and all those little moments you probably won’t even notice until you see your photographs afterwards.

Most of the day I blend into the background and let things happen naturally. When it’s time for family photographs or a few portraits together, I’ll guide you through them, keep things relaxed and get you back to enjoying your day.

I offer three wedding photography collections.

My Timeless Collection is my signature full day collection, covering everything from morning preparations through to the evening celebrations, with a pre wedding venue visit and planning meeting included.

My Simply Yours Collection offers relaxed, natural documentary coverage tailored around your big day with simple online planning. There’s no compromise on the photography. You still get the same care, attention and storytelling throughout.

My Twilight Collection is designed for later ceremonies that flow straight into the evening celebrations.

Collections start from £950.

A magical day! - Superb service

Jon and his team captured what I wanted from the start! From discussing my theme and briefing him of the day I envisioned, he quickly knew how best to organise and execute to a superb manner. Jon and his team’s friendly approach to myself and husband, as well as my guests was beautiful to see and witness, as it made everyone feel at ease and at their best. I will always cherish my wedding day and what they delivered. They are now my photographers for life! ☺️

Perfectly captured every detail


Well exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail and special moment was captured on our wedding day.
Jon really knows his stuff, he thought of everything to ensure that I could enjoy the day without worrying about the perfect shot. My friends and family also raved about him, which is a testimony to him as a professional. He captured the emotion, colour and every little detail. Now I get to look back at my special day every time I look at the pictures. If you are looking for the ‘perfect’ photographer for your day then look no further. I have also recommended him to friends who have also been impressed.

The Wedding Photographer of Dreams!

Wedding planning is hectic enough but once we had hired Jon he took that whole aspect off our hands. His years of experience really shows. He just took the reins and told me what he was going to do and I just let him get on with it… he was fab! He organized all our shots, even telling me photo ideas that I hadn’t even thought of. It was at that point I just let him lead the way! Super easy to work with and 100% professional. Just let Jon deal with it and you won’t regret it. Our photos turned out fantastic and I have no idea how I’m going to choose because all of them are 10/10.

The Perfect day captured by the best Photographer

Jon was great from the get-go, from the moment we engaged his services he was incredibly responsive and answered any questions we had (and I did have a few!!). My husband isn't a fan of photos, but Jon instantly put him at ease and explained his photography style and approach, which was spot on for us as a couple.
The Wedding day arrived, and Jon was there in the morning to capture some shots, and he also stayed throughout the evening to capture our dance and some last photos of us and the guests. It was a long day for Jon and us and our guests could see how hard he worked, and we are incredibly grateful that we found Jon.

There are not enough words for me to describe how great he was, and the images he captured of us on our day were incredible. I cannot recommend Jon enough, and anyone who hires him will not regret their decision. Brilliant.

Amazing memories of our special day, thank you Jon!

Jon is an incredible photographer!

We had loads of communication before the big day and Jon was really accommodating with taking on board requests for particular images above and beyond our agreed package for the day ☺️ He was great at rallying everyone together for our group images and had such high energy throughout the whole day... He even stayed longer than he was meant to to capture the last few images of us dancing the night away!

Would highly recommend, thank you Jon for capturing so many wonderful memories of our special day!

Jon was absolutely brilliant!

From the beginning Jon kept checking in with us, making sure we felt at ease in the lead up to our wedding. We had a pre wedding meeting and Jon let us know that no request was too much. The photos were absolutely beautiful. Even months after my wedding date Jon was there answering my questions. Definitely recommend Jon’s services. Thank you again Jon

I’m Jon, a documentary wedding photographer who keeps things relaxed and real. Couples often say I’m calm, easy to get on with, and never in the way. I don’t force moments or turn your wedding into a photoshoot. I blend in, read the room, and capture what’s actually happening, the laughter, the emotion, and all the in between moments people don’t even realise are there.

My style is clean, natural and honest. Good light, strong composition and real storytelling without heavy editing or trends that date. The goal is simple, photographs that still feel right years from now.

Most of my couples say having me around feels easy, and that matters just as much as the photos. Great images, a relaxed presence, and a day that never feels staged.

“Wouldn’t want anybody else doing photography.”
