About

Last update: March 2026
JDS Weddings is a Birmingham based wedding photography and filmmaking studio focused on honest, story led coverage.
I have photographed and filmed over 200 weddings across the West Midlands and beyond. My approach is calm and observant. I am there to document what your day actually feels like, not to stage it.
My Approach
• Documentary first
• Calm presence throughout the day
• Direction when needed, space when it matters
• Carefully edited galleries, not endless duplicates
Most of the day unfolds naturally. I step in for portraits and group photos to keep things organised, then step back so you can enjoy it.
You focus on your wedding. I handle the coverage.
Light and Style
I work mainly with natural light.
When lighting is needed, it is clean and purposeful. Nothing over complicated. Nothing trend driven.
The result is work that still looks right years from now.
Photography and Film
Many couples book both photography and film together.
One creative direction.
One team.
One consistent result.
Everything works together rather than competing.
What Matters Most
Trust.
You are inviting someone into one of the most important days of your life. My role is to handle that properly, with experience and composure.
If you want relaxed, story focused coverage that does not take over your day, you will feel comfortable here.

Reviews for JDS Weddings
Definitely would recommend!!
The photos and videos really reflect the feel of the day, and it’s been great to look back and see all the little moments we might have missed. They were easy to work with, professional, and blended into the day without any fuss. The communication prior to the day was well thought out and we were able to highlight what was important to us.
We would definitely recommend JDS photography and videography and are so pleased with the memories they've captured for us. Thank you!!
Best investment
When we received our videos, we were absolutely blown away. Every detail, every smile, every happy tear was captured in such a heartfelt and artistic way. The final product was not just a wedding video, but a timeless story of our day—better than we ever could have imagined.
We have watched the video a hundred times and absolutely love it.
We are so grateful for their talent and care. These are memories we’ll treasure forever, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!
Thanks again Jon. You made our wedding video absolutely perfect. We will always have this precious memory forever.

Meet the team
Hey, I’m Jon. I run JDS Weddings and I’m the one behind the camera on the day.
I specialise in natural, documentary-style photography and films that feel relaxed and real - no awkward posing, no cheesy moments, just genuine memories captured as they happen. After 200+ weddings, I’ve learned that the best results come when couples forget the camera is even there.
Most of my couples book me for both photo and video so everything flows smoothly with one calm, creative team.
Think timeless, emotional, and a little bit different - not traditional or stiff.
