It's been a busy few weeks - time to start posting again! And what a way to start...
Karen & Andrew got married on Monday at the wonderful Bartle Hall Hotel.
They managed to combine both of their Chinese and English traditions and heritage to make THE most memorable wedding day.
Lion Dancing. A Chinese tea ceremony. The most brilliantly emotional ceremony. And more incredible food than I've ever seen...
It really was a day to remember, and another wedding that I feel so lucky to have been a part of.
Congratulations !

To be asked to photograph a wedding in the South of France was exciting enough. But, when we found out the plans...well...
A ceremony in an Olive Grove, under the trees planted by the grooms great-grandfather. Lavender Fields ?!?!. Celebrations at the family home nestled in the french countryside....
And a group of family and friends, fully intent on having the best wedding ever!

The days were as crazy as they were beautiful 😆 and Maddi & Flavien wouldn't have had it any other way. (although the river picture in Nyons with the guests in the water was the most insane thing we've ever done....)

It was a privilege, an honour, and the best experience.

A huge thanks to Martin for being my incredible second photographer and travelling companion on this epic trip. And a huge thanks to Maddi, Flavien and ALL of their amazing family and friends for making us so welcome.

A few previews from this amazing wedding....

It's not often you get to experience TWO amazingly different wedding days with the SAME couple, celebrating both of their cultures and traditions.
But that is exactly what happened with Dina & Gabriel last week.
Day 1 we experienced a Jewish ceremony, and of course the brilliant party celebrations afterwards.
Day 2 we had the Nepal Hindu wedding ceremony, followed by the most incredible party complete with "Bollywood" dancing.

The venue was sensational ! Janet, Johnny and the team at Long Acre Barn couldn't do enough for us, plus the place is just incredible, set in the stunning scenery of Kings Meaburn in the Lake District.

An absolutely brilliant 2 days, and a genuine pleasure to be a part of.

23/05/2023

What a seriously incredible day we had on Saturday at the wedding of Esther & Mark.
New House Farm was the sensational venue up in Lorton Vale in the Lake District. Amazing venue. Sensational hospitality. Stunning surroundings and scenery, and the nicest bride and groom, surrounded by their brilliant friends and family.

Great to work alongside Dan Gribbin Music providing the perfect afternoon musical accompaniment to the hills, mountains and glorious sunshine.
Silver Service Singers - Singing Waiters who gave us the most excellent afternoon entertainment.
And The Roost party band who kept the party going all evening.

Simply an amazing wedding day ! And a privilege to be a part of.
Congratulations :)

09/05/2023

Awesome day at Shaw Hill Golf & Spa Hotel on Saturday for the wedding of Lizzie & Will.
The day was a perfect mix of love & emotion, and fun & craziness lol
Big thanks to the venue for being so accommodating - and also privileged to be working with DJ Guy Barker who hosted the evening brilliantly - including the hilarious "table photo challenge" (just about got my breath back now...)
Can you spot the subtle hint to the Kings Coronation in the evening pics 😉
Big Congrats again to Lizzie and Will.

25/04/2023

Loving the colours at the wedding celebration of Amy & Matt a couple of weeks ago!
Garstang Country Hotel and Golf Course - great to back at your great venue, and it was also brilliant to work alongside top celebrant Becky 😁 Celebrant Ceremonies by Becky and the superb Destiny Wedding Cars

Amy & Matt - I'm so glad you got to have your special day. It's been brilliant being part of your journey through your "covid marriage" and then onto your special wedding celebration earlier this month. Congratulations !

19/04/2023

Back at Heaton House Farm again a few weeks ago (minus the snow this time) for the fabulous wedding of Amber & Lucy. What a great day!
I LOVE the ceiling lighting for their first dance! 😍
It was also great to work with DJ / Event Host - Tom Finkill who hosted the entire day, and kept everyone well entertained.
Beautiful day. A massive congratulations to Amber & Lucy 😁

13/04/2023

Just 4 weeks ago - this was the weather that greeted us at Heaton House Farm 😲 for the wedding of Kelly & Andy.
It takes the perfect combination of venue, location, weather and couple to make "white" weddings work - and this certainly ticked every box.
Having a 2nd photographer who is oblivious to the cold also helps 😆 ! Martin - Short sleeves ?!?
Heaton House - you were simply amazing from start to finish - and Kelly & Andy, hats off to you for braving the snow. I hope you agree it was worth it :)

12/04/2023

What a day we had on Friday at Country Hotel at the wedding of Hristina and Thomas.
Fabulous venue, brilliant people, and a simply amazing day.
Just a few previews from their very special day.

08/03/2023

Add a little confetti sprinkle to your 1st dance and make it something magical !
It was brilliant to be back at Bourton Hall Wedding Venue last year - this time for the amazing wedding of Stephanie & Addison
Stunning venue, with a brilliant couple, and great guests from every corner of the globe - just brilliant.
(Struggled to narrow down the favourites form this one...)

When Royal Navy Officers are happy to hold hands and skip along the lawn, you know you're in for a good day ! 😂
An absolutely brilliant day with Robbie & Laura at the sensational Balbirnie HouseHotel last year. I absolutely LOVE the "lovelocks" idea too...
We had the lot. Tears. Smiles. LOTS of laughter. But most of all it was simply the best day with amazing people.
They really are a very special family, and I wish them all the very best for their happy future together.

25/01/2023

A unique & VERY special day last year with Emmi & Phil at Treowen down in Monmouthshire.
A "first look" (an amazing moment)
Simply stunning countryside
An amazing 17th century venue
They even got one of their friends to conduct the ceremony !
A brilliant day from start to finish, I was spoilt for choice as to which photos to put on here to be honest,
Great to have Martin working with me on this wedding too!
Emmi and Phil, if you decide to do it all over again - let us know ! lol
Treowen Manor House nr Monmouth

18/01/2023

An entire field of wild-flowers? Oh go on then.... ! That's what greeted Liz & Rich at Beeston Manor last summer. So we just HAD to make use of it.
We even got a fabulous sun-set to finish off a simply brilliant day at a great venue with wonderful people.

04/01/2023

Now THAT is the way to get your partner back up the aisle!
Chris & Vharri got married at Karma Lake of Menteith last year, a stunning venue on the banks of the ONLY lake in Scotland (bonus points in pub quizzes for that one...)
These two were just brilliant! Doing their wedding day THEIR way - and absolutely rightly so! We laughed and smiled so much all day.

I've never seen a cake cut with an axe before (not sure how the table survived actually)
And their theatrical "dip" was just stunning !

Simply put - a fantastic wedding day with simply brilliant people, in one of the most picturesque settings. Couldn't really ask for more....

02/01/2023

Back on social media after 12 whole months!
Whilst a liberating exercise, I know a lot of people have been asking what I’ve been up to…so here goes..

2022 was ridiculous. THE busiest, craziest, hardest work I have EVER been through. So, updating social media quickly became the least important thing on my mind…

72+ weddings (not a typo)
20+ Schools shoots
25 events
40+ pre-wedding meetings
Not to mention trying to be a dad, a husband, a friend, and doing my usual events for charity.

I have loved EVERY wedding. I’ve enjoyed meeting EVERY new person. But my word…it’s been hard work.

Whilst everybody else was pandemic-free and “back to normal”, the wedding world got turned on it’s head in 2022 as it tried to cope with all the rearranged and postponed weddings from previous years. We've all made mistakes, but coped the best we can. If you see a photographer out and about anywhere – give them a hug – believe me they need it.

Those who know me either personally or professionally, know how hard it's been. I give 120% every time, and very rarely say no, so when faced with a theoretical mountain to climb, it’s been tough. VERY tough. I even felt guilty for taking a few days off to take the family on holiday. But….I have got through it, with the help, support and understanding from those around me (you know who you are), and for that I cannot be more thankful.

Last night I cleaned my office white-board, and re-wrote it for 2023, and smiled.

As we move forward into a new year, my diary is manageable. I have dedicated editing time for the first time in 18 months for a start, and I look forward to the year ahead again. I do have a few dates spare - so get in touch quickly with any enquiries.

To all those who showed me so much patience and understanding in 2022 – the biggest thank you ever! To those waiting on their photos from the back-end of 2022, they are on the way.
And to all the couples who contacted me privately, just to say “they understood” and “not to worry” - it meant more than you’d ever believe.

Social media-wise – you can expect to start seeing posts again so you can see what I’ve been up to.

A big thank you again, a very happy new year to everyone, and 2023 – bring it on !

Jon

Trying to find a word to sum up 2021 for me.
Insane probably describes it best...
I've never worked so hard in my life. I've fallen behind. I've laughed and cried probably in equal measures lol. But I have had just the best of times.
I could not have done any of it without the help, support, understanding and patience of everyone I've had the pleasure of working with this year.
Jon2, Stefan, Dave, Brian, James - you have all been epic with your support and "never saying no" attitude.
A huge thank you to my family who I have probably become a bit of stranger to this year.
And to the couples, schools, charities, families and businesses who I have been so lucky to work with - just a heartfelt thank you. The feedback and support has been so humbling and appreciated.

Looking forward to an entire month of catching up at my desk now...
2022 certainly does not show any signs of slowing down and I look forward to it all.

Happy New Year and lots of love and best wishes
Jon

Almost had no time to post over the last few weeks - but I wanted to start sharing some of the images from recent weddings. they have been amazing as always !
Faye & Anthony chose the incredible Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort for their big day.
What an emotional, fun, welcoming and all round brilliant day it was.
The venue is stunning anyway, but the decor that the couple chose just made it even more beautiful.
It really was a brilliant day, and I'm so pleased I was able to be involved. Congrats :)

😈 SPOOKY pics taken at Samlesbury Hall last week. Have we really captured something weird...?
I can't explain what is sat in that chair?...Can you?
These are the genuine pictures. Taken by me. At a real wedding. Not photoshopped (apart from the yellow circles obvs)

I also can't explain the strange circular objects that are floating around in some of the pictures?

Samlesbury Hall is an amazing venue, and also known for some strange happenings at times.
Have we really managed to capture proof of this?

Steven Reed & Anna-Lee. thank you for letting me use these pics.

27/10/2021

What a day we had at Samlesbury Hall on Friday.
Anna-lee Reed & Steven Reed 's wedding was simply spectacular.
From the 100's of pumpkins to the gorgeous autumnal colours used throughout, this looked and was very special.

If there was ever a good advert to add my second photographer onto your day - this is certainly it! The incredible "top down" image was actually a planned shot, taken by Jon2 during the exchange of rings in the ceremony, and was probably an image I couldn't have achieved if I'd have been working alone on this occasion. Simply stunning!

We also have to mention Sarah and the team at Flowers With Passion who dressed the venue to perfection. Amazing work !
Josh and the team at Salmesbury Hall were absolutely brilliant, and looked after us all impecably throughout the day. Thank you.

What an amazing day. Congratulations again to Anna-Lee & Steve. Thank you for letting us be a small part of your big day

I was very priveleged recently to photograph the wedding of Shyama & Bhaskar.
Accompanied by Jon2, we spent an incredible day down at the gorgeous Bourton Hall Wedding Venue in Warwickshire, and enjoyed the most colourful, magical, friendly and welcoming wedding.

The weather was brilliant, which enabled us to make use of the most amazing grounds that the venue has to offer.
However, the couples first dance, complete with guests sprinkling confetti from the grand staircase was quite simply stunning !

A huge thank you to Shyama & Bhaskar for entrusting us with their day. And a big thank you to all their family and friends who looked after us so well.

It certainly was a day to remember, and I hope you enjoy looking through these previews as much as we enjoyed taking them

20/10/2021

Thank you!
I really do work with THE best couples.
The messages / texts / emails of support and understanding I have received recently telling me to "take time for myself" , "not to worry so much" , and "we totally understand" has been overwhelming.
The last few months have been the most unprecendented times. The sheer number of postponed and rearranged weddings covered by me, and other wedding suppliers has been insane.
I have have loved every one of them !
However, it has put me in a situation where my usual timescales for editing and preparing pictures have been stretched to say the least.

I want to thank each and every couple for their patience and understanding. Things are moving quicker now, and I will be back on track as quickly as I possibly can be.

On a side note - matchsticks are not as effective as I thought they would be for keeping my eyes open ;) and I'm considering buying shares in coffee manufacturers due to the amount of it I'm drinking....

24/09/2021

I'll be honest - when the venue was first confirmed as Bolton PARISH church - I certainly didn't expect this !
I've been in smaller and less impressive Cathedrals 😅
An amazing day for Ashton & Josh recently. Congratulations.
Such a great couple having a fun filled and brilliant day.
They even decided to have pasties & peas ready for their guests when we got to the reception. Genius idea !
Big thanks to Stefan for being my 2nd photographer on the day, great work as always

20/09/2021

It is YOUR day - do it YOUR way !
Kerry & Rich decided to say their "I do's" recently with just 4 guests at Ormskirk Registry Office.
They walked down the aisle together. No flowers. No "wedding dress" (although Kerry looked amazing). No fuss.
Their "wedding breakfast" was a table just for the 2 of them, at the incredible 2 michelin starred Moor Hall.
Just the most genuine & lovely couple sharing their special moment with their closest family, and celebrating together.

So, whether you want to celebrate your wedding with 250 guests in a castle, or you want to get married in your jeans and have a chippy tea.....
Guess what ?....
You are right ! Go and do what you want to do.

I for one feel very privelged to have shared Kerry & Rich's day with them. Thank you. And I wish you all the happiness in your new married life :)

13/09/2021

Amy & Jason. What can I say.
Just a brilliant wedding day at Ardencote Manor.
An outside ceremony. An insane confetti throw lol. Superb venue. Brilliant company. Thank you.
Congratulations to you, and thank you for letting me be just a small part of your big day

08/09/2021

Blue skies & stunning views at a beach-side wedding on the beautiful island of Anglesey last week.
Natalie & Oliver got married at St Mary's in Pentraeth, a gorgeous 12th century parish church.
Then it was off to join the party in the grounds of Shore Cottage overlooking Red Wharf Bay.
Decorated by the couple themselves (ok - by Natalie really) the venue was just stunning.
Big thanks to Dai Chef for the catering. Really was amazing.
Congrats again both of you :)

02/09/2021

Making your wedding day YOURS is 100% the only way to do it. Jess & Mike certainly did that !
I mean why not have a 8ft snake at the ceremony? Or throw the bride in the air for a line-out 😳
An absolutely amazing day hosted at Southport RFC.
Big thanks to PM Reptiles for providing the amazing collection of snakes (and counting them all back into the boxes afterwards lol), Churchtown Wedding Cars for providing the awesome VW Camper, and to the entire team at Southport Rugby Club.
Finally, to Jess, Mike and your family and friends. You organised a spectaular day and I'm so pleased to have been a part of it.

Sarah & Lloyd Irving got married this week at the gorgeous Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa . The gardens are simply stunning complete with waterfalls and ponds.
They chose to have a smaller" wedding with close family and friends, and it was such a brilliantly relaxed and intimate day.
Congrats to you both :)

20/08/2021

A trip to Crabwall Manor Hotel and Spa last week for the wonderful wedding of Charlotte Shaw & Olly Shaw
Not sure if we could have fit any more flowers into the ceremony room ! It looked amazing !
A fun, relaxed day from start to finish complete with table tennis and snakes and ladders in the gardens!
Brilliant day. Congrats to you both :)

15/08/2021

Roker Lighthouse in Sunderland was a gorgeous backdrop for Lyndsey & Chris recently on their big day.
It was actually forecast thunderstorms and flash flooding - we couldn't quite believe our luck!
Roker Hotel provided their stunning ballroom for the day and a great day was had by all.
The day was made even more special with the couple annnouncing during the speeches that they were expecting their 1st child 😁
Huge congratulations to such a lovely couple.

Ferraris country house is one of those amazing venues. The perfect balance of a stunning venue in amazing surroundings, coupled with a very welcoming feel.
This was the venue for Alan Holland & Stevie Holland big day on Saturday.
Yes, we had a little rain, but did it dampen the spirit of the day - not a chance !
Absolutely wonderful wedding with brilliant people - and one of the most amazing wedding cakes I've ever seen. Little Cherry Cake Company - take a bow ! Amazing !

Thank you to Anna and the team at Ferraris for being such amazing hosts and to Alan & Stevie for making me feel so welcome.

Congrats !
Oh, and did I mention the cake ;)
