ESSEX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m John — an Essex wedding photographer and videographer capturing wedding stories across Essex, London, and beyond. I specialise in easy-going, relaxed, and elegant wedding photography and videography that celebrate the uniqueness, romance, and joy of your wedding day. My work tells authentic love stories through memorable, emotional, and striking images and video.

​

From the very first meeting, my focus is on you as a couple. Every wedding is different, so I take the time to understand your priorities, the people who matter most, and the story you want to tell. It’s my privilege to reflect all of this in your wedding photographs and video.

​

I can’t wait to connect with you both and create wedding memories you’ll cherish forever.

I work collaboratively with my clients, bringing a guiding, creative voice while championing everything you envision for your wedding. I invest time in getting to know my couples and stay in touch throughout your journey, ensuring the entire experience is tailored to you.

​

On the day, my confident yet relaxed style combines documentary storytelling with a subtle editorial touch. I capture candid moments of your guests, the big highlights, and the little details that make your day unique.

​

When it comes to your couple portraits, I create a comfortable, natural environment so you feel at ease and completely in the moment. Your images and videos will celebrate the laughter, emotion, and beauty of your wedding day, leaving you with a timeless, authentic representation of your love story.
