Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Johnathan is an absolutely amazing photographer. Every single wedding photo he took for us (and there were lots) is stunning. He has an incredible gift for capturing special moments throughout the day, giving each image a real sense of life and emotion. Together, they tell the story of our wedding beautifully, something brought to life even more in the amazing slideshow he created for us — perfectly timed to music.
Beyond being the best photographer (we might be biased, but we truly think his work is the best we’ve seen — our family and friends agree), Johnathan is also a genuinely wonderful person. From our very first meeting, it was clear he cared deeply about capturing the perfect day for us. He took the time to walk us through everything beforehand, instantly putting us at ease.
On the day itself, he was an absolute pleasure — kind, considerate, and always mindful of our time, ensuring we enjoyed ourselves as much as possible. You could tell he was constantly looking for moments to capture, managing to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. From the morning preparations with my now wife, right through to the late-night dance floor, he caught it all — including some unforgettable party shots once things really got going.
We couldn’t be happier with the memories he’s given us and to anyone searching for the perfect wedding photographer, I can’t recommend Johnathan enough — booking him will be one of the best choices you make for your special day-

Best. Photographer. Ever.
Jonathan was absolutely amazing! From the moment we had our initial chat, we knew he was our guy. His photography style and personality fit us perfectly and I can honestly say that this is someone we would happily keep as a lifelong friend.
He worked tirelessly to capture every moment of our special day in the most beautiful and fun way possible, creating the most incredible memories we could have hoped for. His creativity and talent, combined with his down-to-earth and genuine personality, made our day absolutely perfect.
If you’re looking for a photographer, don’t hesitate; just choose Jonathan! For someone who hates being the centre of attention and is easily self-conscious, he made me feel at ease and helped me forget the camera was even there.
He brought a sense of fun and joy to the day and watching him chase a dinosaur was one of our favourite moments of our wedding!
His talent for making my dress look like it belonged in a fairy tale and capturing a magical ‘Princess Bride’ style photo was unforgettable. Jonathan has become one of our favourite people, so naturally we’ve adopted him!
The slideshow he’s created for us is absolutely incredible and we can’t stop watching it. It shows just how much fun and love there was on our day and all the money in the world couldn’t account for how much this truly means to us.
Thank you so much Jonathan, we will not stop recommending you! -

MVP of our wedding!!
We cannot recommend Jonathan enough!! We are super happy with our photos from the day, Jonathan didn't miss a detail! He worked so hard on the day too, arriving early and leaving late, and bringing so much energy throughout. He made everyone laugh all day and felt like a friend rather than a 'vendor', which meant we didn't feel awkward in front of the camera (surprisingly!). Communication before and after the wedding has been amazing and he's been really respectful about not posting photos on his social media before we have and asking us if it was OK for him to do so, which is really appreciated. Honestly, this guy is SO GOOD at his job - across all of our suppliers, he really stands out. You won't regret booking him! -

This guy is the Labrador of photographers!
We first encountered Jonathon at a friend’s wedding. Once we’d seen his work (and got engaged and started planning our wedding) he was one of the major factors which decided what date we got married (the other major factor was the venue!)
This man is on point with his communication and responses, he wants to know the ins and outs of what it is you want and he gets on with everyone! He was a hit with the guests, a hit with other vendors and was super chilled and got on with everyone!
Highly recommended if you want someone to catch those candid moments, the ones where you’re mid shape-throwing on the dance floor, the ones where your chins make an appearance because you’re laughing so hard.. the ones where only he sees you poking your tongue out at the camera!!
10/10, gold star, A+++, chef’s kiss material! -

Captures memories and emotions
Jonathan is a one of a kind photographer. He does not just take
photographs he captures memories and emotions. Everyone commented
on how friendly and good natured he was. It was like we had known him
for years. I felt completely at ease during the day, Jonathan is stealthy -
like a ninja- you never notice him taking photos which is great as that’s
when the magic happens. I would not hestitate to recommend him to
friends or family. -

Fantastic addition
Jonathan was a fantastic addition to our special day and worth every
penny. Everyone commented on how well he integrated into the party and
put everyone at ease; it felt like we were spending the day with a good
friend. I feel that he went above and beyond our expectations, no demand
was too small or too great. The finished results only prove we made the
right choice and would happily recommend his services to everyone.
Need to get our renewal sorted so we can book Jonathan again! -

Most amazing photographer
The most amazing photographer we could have ever wished for. From the
start he was open to any questions and ideas. On the day he fitted straight
in and there was no point that there felt like their was a "stranger" in our
very small house as we were all getting ready. As a couple we are not very
comfortable in front of the camera but Jonathan made us laugh all day
getting some great shots. When we revived our photos we both cried with
how beautiful they were. -

Extremely professional and friendly
We booked J S Coates after finding his amazing, natural work on the
internet. We messaged him to see his availability for our date, from that
moment onwards Jonathon could not have been more helpful! Jonathon
was keen to speak to us in person which made us feel so at ease, this
meant that the morning of my wedding, it didn't feel like we had a
stranger with us! He was extremely professional and listened to all of our
ideas! On the day,it honestly felt like we had another friend at our
wedding! -

Love our photos so much
We love our photos so much and were so over the moon when we saw
them. Jonathan did such a great job, it was more like having a friend at
the wedding, he made us all feel so comfortable. Our guests loved him
and his approach to taking photos really brought out the best in everyone.
He was professional, fun and has such a great eye for a good shot, he
captured some great moments. The slideshow he sent to us made
everyone cry and the music he chose for it was just perfect. We couldn’t
be happier. -

Captured the day perfectly
Jonathan arrived when hair and make up arrived and did not leave until
around 11pm. He captured the day perfectly. He fitted in amazingly with
the day and ensured everyone felt relaxed and comfortable throughout. He
captured the natural feel of the day amazingly and we are so grateful. He
even went the extra mile taking something we had forgotten to the venue.
When his photos arrived they were classy, funny, elegant. He was
completely professional and caught the day exactly as we wanted. -
