Choosing a wedding photographer is a minefield. You don't want them to be too pushy and ruin the day, and you also don't want them to be so laid back that you end up with no good photos. John is THE perfect balance. Somehow between him and the venue's master of ceremonies, they managed to actually corral mine and my brides family into the many photos we arranged and everything went off without a hitch. John managed to capture some of the best facial expressions of shock and happiness from the day and then within a few days had highlights for us that we could share with the whole family. Everything wedding related can be expensive, but I have to say John was very much worth the money paid, and as he rightly said when we were speaking before the wedding, a photographer is the one 'supplier' you need to get on with on the day because they are always with you. It's true, and that was very easy as John did everything with a smile, a laugh, and a few terrible dad jokes (but we won't hold that against you!) I can not recommend John highly enough. If you are reading this and considering a few different options, close all those other tabs, and start a conversation with John first. If you set him as your benchmark I promise you won't find people better value or better service on the day. More...

Almost too many things to mentioned really! John has a knack of making everyone feel special and this means he gets excellent natural pictures. He has a great eye for framing ensuring you get the perfect picture, has great ideas to maximize the use of the hotel and grounds and is friendly but firm so that you know exactly what is needed. Definitely recommended. More...

Cannot recommend John enough! He was so amazing to work with, he shot our wedding in May at The Ravenswood, it was such a pleasure to have him at our big day and the best choice to capture how amazing the day was. Complete professional through and through, kept us both calm and relaxed throughout the day and we both had such a laugh with him too. I was very fussy & particular about what I was looking for in a photographer and found all that when I came across John. The before and after service has been outstanding and he has captured memories that will last a life time for us. We cannot thank him enough for everything. If you haven’t booked a photographer for your big day yet... BOOK JOHN!! A huge thank you and big love from Mr & Mrs Ellis xx More...

From the moment we met John at a wedding fair we just knew we had to have him as our photographer, he literally was an absolute breeze to talk to, so friendly, warm and welcoming. There was no pressure at all for us to book him, he was very laid back and easy going to talk to, due to all this we couldn’t leave until we had at least pencilled him in! So we got together with John before our big day to go through some examples of his work and add anything we’d like for the day. His examples were beautiful, which of course made us realise we’d definitely found the best photographer! One thing we discussed was photographs of our children on the day, having 4 we knew it would be a tough job for him. Our young son was the challenge we mainly pre-warned John about, he’s autistic and on the go 24/7 so he’s extremely hard to get a good photograph out of! But wow is literally all we can say! The photos of him that John captured are amazing, along with all our other children, but our son, being the biggest challenge, are the ones that stand out more because we know ourselves how hard photos are with him. He’s managed to capture all our sons cheeky grins, which is exactly what we asked for. They are absolutely beautiful, the natural shots of him and all our family and friends from our special day are breathtaking, more than we could of asked for. Every shot John has taken really has captured the moment. My husbands photos of him before I arrived literally tell a story themselves just by looking at them, John has captured he’s changing emotions, from happiness, right through to those last minute nerves kicking in. (no idea why he had them, it’s been 18 years of me waiting for this day!) They were so lovely for me to see, as were the gorgeous photos of myself getting ready, so nice for my husband to see. Throughout our wedding day John was there, clicking away and capturing all the moments we wouldn’t want to miss, in a good way he was almost like ghost, hardly seen as he was grabbing those natural shots. We had some lovely feedback from our guests on the day aswell, all commenting on how friendly John was and how at ease he was putting everyone. Pretty sure he calmed a few people’s nerves that day, just by his reassurance alone! If anyone is thinking about booking John, just do it! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed, without a doubt I will be recommending John to all that ask, absolutely amazing service! Thank you so much John for being apart of our special day, and capturing all the beautiful moments that we can now treasure for a lifetime xxxx More...

Having trolled through god knows how many wedding fairs, our prayers were answered by John! We had met lots of photographers and looked through hundreds of photographs, but none of them were a touch on John and his amazing work. When we met him, we clicked immediately and were blown away by his work. There was never any pressure to book him, but we did that same day as we knew he was going to do an amazing job of capturing our special day. John put us at ease with any worries or concerns we had before the big day. He always got back to us within a few hours and gave us lots of great advice in our pre-wedding meeting. On the day, John made us feel at ease from the moment he arrived. Everyone commented on how relaxed and friendly he was, and how they barely knew he was there (in a good way!!). He was never in our face with the camera or getting us to pose for photographs, everything was just so natural. Exactly the way we wanted it to be. We honestly couldn't have asked for a kinder and more talented photographer to capture our special day for us. Thank you John, we are so glad we chose you all those months ago! You've been amazing from the beginning and we are so grateful to you for everything you've done for us. We are beyond excited to see our beautiful photographs. x More...

We were told to book your photographer early and we are glad we did. John was incredible from the preparation to the day itself. He had everything under control and put us and our guests at ease resulting in great shots. John was always ready with him camera to capture that special moment. His photography is breathtaking, the only problem we have now is to try and find 60 of our favourite pictures out of the 650 that he produced for us. John felt more of a friend than someone you hire and we could not recommend his work and his professionalism enough. If you do not book John early than you will be left with second best.

John took care of an engagement photo shoot for us on Eastbourne beach. He suggested a range of local places which he knew would work well in advance, but was also happy to use any different locations we suggested. We decided to go with one of the locations he suggested, and he definitely knew what he was doing. The location and time of day was perfect, and he subtly directed us through a few settings over the course of about an hour. He then emailed us high resolution copies of the images really quickly afterwards. I would definitely recommend John for any future photo shoots - it's a difficult job arranging normal people who hate having their photos taken, but he was professional throughout and the photos he's given us are amazing.

John was amazing from start to finish.
When we first met John on a home visit to discuss what we wanted from our wedding photos we felt totally relaxed.
John asked us what we wanted and gave us some great ideas for every eventuality.

When it came to the wedding day john was the calmest person there, so relaxed and nothing was a problem for him, even helping out with things if he saw something needed doing, and tied my tie several times for me to make sure it was looking its best.
John was excellent with the children we had at the wedding and really patient with them and fitting in around them when needed.
All of our guests loved john and really enjoyed getting photographed by him, especially on the dance floor where john blended in (great dance moves) and captured some great natural pictures.

We were very lucky to have John photographing our wedding and we have so many great photos to look back on for years to come. Highly recommended.

From the very first moment we met John his enthusiasm shone through and his dedication and professionalism were second to none. The results were truly outstanding with a mixture of traditional, original and a few quirky shots thrown in for good measure.
John made the atmosphere very relaxed which made our day a whole lot of fun, and took the edge off of any nerves. He was everywhere at the venue and took several shots that we didn't know he was taking which made for some great natural photographs.
I would have no hesitation in recommending John as a photographer for any special occasion.

SHORT REVIEW (for those of you, like me, with children, who don’t have time to read these things) – TOTALLY AMAZING & AWESOME, GO ON & BOOK JOHN, YOU WONT REGRET IT. Below is the long version, for reading with a cup of tea. This review is extremely late, (2.5 months after our wedding!), not because I didn’t want to write one, but because I lead a chaotic life and haven’t had more than a nano second of peace from the children in which to write it properly. Apologies John…My husband and I are both very photo shy and so the thought of having a wedding and being photographed all day long wasn’t particularly appealing to us. I just wanted a few decent shots of our family and friends together and a photo album we could look back on in many years to come and exclaim over how nice we all looked, how young we all looked, who was there with us and who is still alive!So I trawled through many photographer websites, most of whom were only offering a whole day package for a serious amount of cash. We had already blown our budget so didn’t see the value in paying for shots of us totally plastered or passed out on in the bar at the end of the night (my friends captured that AND put it on Facebook). Nor did I particularly want any shots of me eating my dinner or getting ready. I can look in a mirror to see how rubbish I look before the make-up goes on. John offered a half day package, which was 2 hours more than enough for us. Or so we thought…We met John at our hotel venue and both of us instantly liked him. He is a friendly and generous person and we all sat and had a chat about what we wanted (Us- 5 shots. Him – loads and loads of great ideas).John listened patiently to all the quirks I had detailed for him regarding my rather strange family situation without even a chuckle. Think ‘Eastenders on acid’ and you are half way there…Needless to say, after an hour or so John was now booked in for the whole day and a great big fat photo album afterwards. Not through any badgering at all on his behalf I hasten to add. Just from us realising that if we were to do this we wanted to do it properly and not miss out on capturing moments that we would later regret. And we liked him so much, we left really looking forward to seeing him again on the day.So, THE DAY… John was just everywhere. Amazing really. But not in your face. Just in the background capturing memories for us. He did take some shots of me in the room before I went downstairs, that at the time I didn’t really appreciate, as I was so stressed about being late. But afterwards I was so very glad he did it. Because the dress and my face looked great in those shots. And he KNEW that, of course as he is the professional that he is. Then the wedding went by so quickly and I got teary (very teary, mascara running down my face teary) and it poured with rain all afternoon and the dress got messy, then we started drinking and never really stopped. But all the time he was there and we were so very grateful.A great thing he did was hand round an IPad, for anyone who wished to leave their email. They could then log in to an online gallery of photos and download for free or order prints of whichever ones they wanted. Genius!His photos are totally amazing, so go on and hire him for that. But if you hire John you also, for no extra cost at all, get a supportive friend by your side for what is the most important day of your life. So many times he checked I was OK and I really appreciated it. He was so friendly to everyone, all my guests commented how nice he was.Today he delivered our book of photos. To describe it as a book doesn’t do it justice. It is a huge leather box, inside of which is a heavy leather book with thick card pages full of beautiful photos of our perfect day from start to finish. He has worked so hard on this, adding in photos we didn’t pick, to create the perfect whole memory of our special day. We love you John! Thank you so much for the TOTALLY AMAZING job xxx Lucy & Marc McCall-Edwards. More...

We were all naturally a little on edge as John took us onto the seafront to start snapping. All our anxieties rapidly disappeared as he put the Fun element into the shoot and he was able to capture some really natural shots along with some original ones which made for really great viewing. The same applied after the ceremony when my wife and I went out and about with the bridesmaids.

John listened patiently to all the quirks I had detailed for him regarding my rather strange family situation without even a chuckle. Think ‘Eastenders on acid’ and you are half way there…
Needless to say, after an hour or so John was now booked in for the whole day and a great big fat photo album afterwards. Not through an

We liked John straight away. He is a friendly and generous person. He listened patiently to all the quirks I had detailed for him regarding my rather strange family situation without even a chuckle. Think ‘Eastenders on acid’ and you are half way there…On the wedding day, John was everywhere, capturing all our memories for us.A great thing he did was hand round an IPad, for anyone who wished to access an online gallery of photos and download for free or order prints of whichever ones they wanted.His photos are amazing, so go on and hire him for that. But if you hire John you also get a friend by your side for what is the most important day of your life. He was so friendly to everyone, all my guests commented how nice he was.Today he delivered our gorgeous book, full of beautiful photos of our perfect day from start to finish. He has worked so hard on this, adding in photos we didn’t pick, to create the perfect whole memory of our special day.TOTALLY AMAZING JOB WELL DONE! More...

John was simply superb! He produced the most fantastic photos that we will treasure forever. He obviously listened to every word we had said, as the pictures were precisely what we wanted, and also came up some very intuitive and impulsive photos that we absolutely love. He certainly has an eye for detail and is great guy to have around. He could not be more helpful. We thoroughly recommend him. Thanks again John.Mike and Anna. More...

Johns photography was simply stunning. He created images that we will treasure and I can't recommend him enough. He was recommended to us by some friends and he simply goes the extra mile. He's a lovely guy and has the creative ability to make the most of situations that most of us would worry about. He also produced an amazing photo book for us that told a fabulous story of the day's events in such a natural way. I have already recommended him to friends who have had the same results. Thank you John and good luck for the future. More...

Great job John. The experience in dealing with you was first class. You supplied images to us that we will treasure and you guided us through the day in such a calm way. It showed in the photography and it's all so natural. The photo book you provided in addition to the 700 images was first class. Great quality compared to the run of the mill books available online. You were highly recommended to us and I have no hesitation in recommending you on and I have already. Thank you for your creativity and passion for the job. More...

We knew we had found the right person as soon we met you. The pictures you supplied to us were 1st class. Creative, diverse and breathtaking. Your attitude and preparation left us at ease and we can't believe that you managed to take so many quality pictures in such difficult surroundings. The natural shots helped us enjoy all the things we missed on the day and we can't recommend your services enough. Good luck for the future and thank you again x More...

We can't compliment John enough for what he did for us. He just seemed to understand exactly what we wanted and his attention to detail is incredible. What an eye he has for fabulous photos!!! He is such a lovely guy to deal with and has the ability to blend organising people for the group photos and also disappear into the background for all the natural shots. We couldn't have asked for more. We would recommend him to everyone. Thanks again John for capturing our special day to perfection. More...

Q&As

Meeting people and capturing their special moments in an artistic manner.

Creating a brand that delivers consistently was my goal and was only achievable if it was done my way with no compromise. Working for others is great for experience however if you have high standards and great customer service skills then you can make a difference by going for it yourself. I wouldn't change a thing and love the ability to drive the business forward at my own pace.

I aim for 100% client satisfaction and will not rest until this is achieved. I arrive early, leave late and do my homework. I do it all with a smile and I am completely committed to my clients and achieving photography that exceeds their expectations.
