Oxfordshire wedding PHOTOGRAPHer

Wedding photography that will remind you how it felt to be there!

I approach every wedding as it’s own truly unique day. I tell the story of your wedding through the real moments that unfold naturally. I want you to focus on having the best day, whilst I take care of the photography.

Moments & Storytelling are what I am all about

Transitional moments

I am always looking to capture photos that tell the story of your day and how it unfolded

Emotions

Photographing moments like this are so important to me. The value of this photo is only going to become greater.

Love

Weddings are full of moments of love between everyone there. I’m always on the lookout to show this in my photos.

 

Humour

Every wedding has so many funny moments happening and some of them you will miss. So I love to find them for you to enjoy after your wedding day.

In-between moments

The smaller, less obvious moments, help me piece your story together. The little gems that are happening all the time, intertwined & equally important. 

Details with context

This glass of Champagne being held aloft by a loved one has so much more value and helps to tell the story far better than if it was just on a table.

Hi I’m Jonathan

A tall, friendly Geordie who loves to photograph awesome couples like you.

Although I was born in Newcastle I now live in Bicester Oxfordshire with my wife Sophie, son Freddie who is 4 and is super smart, Phoebe who is 2 and super cute and Lily who is 15 and growing up way too fast!

I absolutely love photographing weddings. They are such great fun and give me the perfect opportunity to blend both of my passions, capturing real moments and creating amazing portraits. If you’d like to find more about me please check out my about page.

Why choose me?

 
 
  • I will spend 95% of the day documenting your wedding in a completely candid “caught in the moment” way. I don’t recreate any moments. Everything is just how you want it!

  • I have been shooting weddings since 2017 and have been taking photos for as long as I can remember! 

  • You will never see me bossing around your guests I am always smiling and approachable.

  • Before the big day I put a lot of effort into getting to know you as a couple and all about your wedding plans. So on the day you can relax knowing I have everything in hand. 

  • In the evening you’ll definitely find me on the dance floor. Whilst capturing your guests having fun I may even knock out a couple of shapes myself.

As a wedding photographer in Oxfordshire, I am on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Within touching distance of the Cotswolds, Oxford City centre and to the North, Warwickshire and beyond. I have had the privilege of photographing weddings at many stunning venues across Oxfordshire. From The Thythe Barn Launton, Lains Barn Wantage, Caswell House Brize Norton and The Great Barn Aynho just to mention a few. Towns, cities, hotels and country pubs also all make for the perfect venues to celebrate with loved ones.

Although I am based in Oxfordshire, I cover Buckinghamshire, The Cotswolds and will travel anywhere in the UK and beyond to capture your perfect day. See here for some other wonderful wedding venues I’ve captured over the years, including Wasing Park near Basingstoke and Silchester Farm near Reading. 

Please feel free to get in touch wherever you are getting married.
