The best photography and videography 🥰

From the very start when I was making enquiries with several photographers Jon stood out immediately. He was responsive, helpful and completely transparent about what he offers and his pricing. He even took the time to call me and talk everything through which I really appreciated. Jon also went above and beyond by offering advice on other suppliers and checking that we had everything we needed for the wedding.

He is incredibly friendly and puts you at ease right away- exactly what you need, especially if you’re a bit nervous like I was. We had a pre-wedding shoot which was a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and those photos alone were lovely.

On the day itself, Jon split his time between me and my partner in the morning, which was great as we got to see both sides of the preparations. He even delivered a bag of 20 hash browns from my partner to me

The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. Jon struck the perfect balance between capturing all the important moments and allowing us and our guests to truly enjoy the day. He blended in so naturally during the ceremony that I hardly noticed the camera at all.

Jon also arranged a videographer for us at quite short notice and we’re so grateful he did. The video preview is incredible- it even made my partner cry! Simon the videographer was fantastic as well, giving clear direction while keeping everything relaxed. He really made us laugh with his responses to some of the shots.

Together they made an amazing team. I would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married.

John is your Man!

John was amazing from start to finish. He put us at ease but more importantly worked with our guests to make it a fun experience. He even has an emergency at home but still came and spent the day with us. John is a true professional with a lot of fun. If you want amazing creative pictures and someone to put you at ease then John is your man!

Our wedding at Barton

We had our wedding on Monday in Barton Manor and it was photographed by Jon from Memories Made Photography (also his birthday). We first met Jon at Barton during a wedding showcase and he was so welcoming from the beginning. Throughout the whole booking process there was amazing communication and walk throughs for us regarding the wedding (we had no clue about a wedding and the itinerary at all), Jon was very friendly and inviting throughout.

We had a pre-shoot meet up which was included with the package (which was an amazing price) and Jon just made us feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. On the day, Jon arrived for the getting ready photos and was amazing with all the kids and adults, his sense of humour is amazing and everyone gave positive feedback about him. He went above and beyond to guide guests and ourselves to get some amazing photos, making it super special for us all even though it was his birthday!

Our preview photos are amazing, he got candid shots, posed, cute and funny ones too! We are super happy with the outcome and can’t wait for the rest to arrive! Thank you so much Jon 🥰

Kind, talented and funny photographer!

Jon was the best photographer we could have asked for. He was dedicated from the first phone call, making sure we had all the information we could possibly need even before booking. The meeting before the wedding got both me and my now husband very comfortable in front of a camera and the results were stunning. The most beautiful pictures I had seen… until the wedding day of course! Jon was great with all the guests, with many commenting on what a funny, kind and genuine man he is. You can tell that Jon loves his job and it shows in everything he does. The previews he provided were sent very quickly and were obviously beautiful. We’re both so excited to see the rest of our photos and already know they will be just as amazing. The biggest thank you to Jon for giving us these memories that will last a lifetime!

Brilliant photographer 📸

We had an amazing experience with Memories Made Photography and honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by doing a pre-wedding photoshoot to get to know us, which was such a lovely touch—and even better that the photos were included in the price. It really helped us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera before the big day.

On the wedding day itself, he was fantastic. So professional, friendly, and just seemed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive! He was there nearly the whole day and didn’t stop taking photos, making sure every special moment was captured.

What really meant a lot to us was how he included our daughter in taking photos as well. He made her feel so comfortable and part of everything, which was really special.

We’re so grateful for all the effort he put in and couldn’t be happier. Highly, highly recommended!

Jon went above and beyond to capture the magic of our big day!

From the moment we spoke to Jon, he understood exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos. We had a very relaxed and informal pre-wedding photoshoot where we could meet Jon and talk through the day. He was incredibly helpful with discussing some of the finer details of our wedding day that we hadn't thought about, and we really valued his insight and experiences.

On the day of our wedding, Jon was amazing and all of our guests loved having him around. He made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, capturing the special moments like he was one of our guests. The photos from the day are incredible and showcase the magical day we had.

We would highly recommend Jon if you are looking for someone who will go the extra mile and capture all the special moments of your big day.

We love you Jon!

met Jon at a few weddings now. Initially at my friends wedding in 2023, and my other friend earlier in 2025, he quickly become our friendship groups personal photographer. It’s been lovely seeing Jon and witnessing his amazing photography skills again and again. I had no doubts when booking him for our wedding as I’d witnessed twice how much of an amazing man he is.
He quickly becomes part of the team, has great advice, gets the best shots, and brings the vibes. I couldn’t fault him and love all our photos.

I couldn’t recommend him more, thank you Jon

Could not have asked for better

Jon was one of the most amazing parts/people of making the day so special! From rounding up groomsman to getting people on the dance floor, the funny stories and the great advice. We could not have dreamed for a better photographer!

Amazing!

Jon is AMAZING at what he does! He captured our wedding photos perfectly. He literally managed to capture every moment! We could not be happier with the photos he has produced, edited and given us. They have captured the day perfectly. We have not stopped looking at them since we received them. We are over the moon with them! They are perfect in every way. Jon brought a brilliant energy to the big day, and he is a true professional. He knows exactly how to make it fun and can have a good laugh with you! Jon put us at ease throughout the whole lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. He is so approachable and willing to help with any queries, big or small, it is no problem for him. We are so happy we chose Jon as our photographer. We will forever be in debt for those PERFECT pictures you captured on our special day and for everything you have helped us with. Jon you are a master at what you do! Thank you again for absolutely EVERYTHING!

Wedding photographer

Jon was recommended to us as a wedding photographer from our best friends wedding, and we are so glad we listened to them! From start to finish, Jon has been amazing. He has been in touch throughout, and arranged a meeting to go through everything we wanted for our wedding. On the day itself, Jon made us both feel at ease straight away, and felt super comfortable with him there. Jon sent a few pictures the day after the wedding and they look absolutely amazing, and we are excited to see the rest! We can’t recommend Jon enough as a wedding photographer!

Thank you John!

As a member of the bridal party, I saw John often and he was fantastic. We have seen a few snippets of his photography and wow- he has done a wonderful job! The photos are breathtaking. John was funny, encouraging, creative and genuinely pleasant. We have all spoken about how professional and equally friendly he was, and would all think of him for our future “do’s”! Thank you John, the beautiful memories you have captured mean we can all look back to our friend’s special day to reminisce, giggle and adore it all over again! X

Memories were Made

Jon was amazing from the moment we first enquired right through to receiving our wedding photos. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our wedding had to be postponed, and Jon could not have been more accommodating, he supported us through it all. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing, the communication was brilliant, our guests spoke so highly of him, and the photos speak for themselves. Working with Jon was such a personable and fun experience, and he did a fantastic job of capturing our day perfectly.
