I have many interests in photography and have specialized in property weddings, portraits, events and equestrian and in order to provide some more challenges to my personal work have been developing my model portfolio. I have mixed this with an increased number of headshots and commercial shoots which I have undertaken.

Jonathan and Alison were a delight to have photographing our wedding. They are friendly, reliable and very experienced. If you are looking for natural pictures and to capture your day well - these are the people you need! .. They were both very relaxed and went with the flow of the day, arrived before the time stated and took pictures of the setting/decorations that I hadn’t even thought about. They both worked well including our beloved dog Bella into the pictures as well as various balloon shots!. Looking back on all the pictures, we have had so many compliments on how well they captured the whole day- we are so grateful. Definitely recommend!! More...

We had two horses and a dog photographed by Jonathan and the results are absolutely fantastic! He was a pleasure to have at our home, a true animal lover who understands animals and how to get the best shots of them (usually with a treat or two! ). I would highly, highly recommend! More...

What a fabulous Equestrian photo-shoot at our yard. Jonathon has a great understanding of horses and knew exactly how to get all the right shots. There were so many beautiful pictures, it has taken me weeks to choose! Perfect. Recommend Jonathon to every horse owner. More...

Jonathon did an incredible job of capturing our wedding with such high quality photos. He listened to the fact that we didn't want lots of posed photos and wanted minimal time taken out of the day for photos. We hardly even noticed he was there. We are absolutely thrilled with the end product, thank you! More...

Brilliant work from Jonathan and Alison. They created some amazing pictures, very swiftly and without detracting from the bride and groom's wonderful day.
This was achieved through careful coordination and planning with the family.
Great job and thank you so much! We couldn't recommend Piers Photography more highly.

We contacted Johnathan from Piers photography on short notice to take a large group photo and found him very friendly and easy to work with.
He was very quick to accommodate our requirements for the prints and went out of his way to ensure we got exactly what we wanted.
We will definitely contact him for any photography needs we may have in the future.

I would highly rate Jonathan: I was unsure about getting a photographer for my event but now I am not sure how we would have managed without him. He was discreet, professional and put in a lot of effort and time before the event to answer my questions and scope out the venue. He is also a really lovely gentleman. Having looked at the photos we are absolutely delighted. We will be recommending Piers Photography to everyone we know. More...

Johnathan photographed our wedding. Everything was perfect. Jonathan was extremely professional, perfectly directed the hectic crowd with very calm attitude, helped as not only to have a perfect photographic memories but also mentally by unloading the pressure of this big day. He is the photographer you could only dream about during your wedding. Jonathan has great packages but also provides a flexible hourly service, so whatever you're looking for he's your guy! The pictures were in the online gallery the next day, and the pendrive with all the photos arrived few days after. I highly recommend Jonathan for his skills and great personality. I will definietly hire him again and recommend him to all my friends! More...

Jonathan took the photographs at my mom and dad's Golden wedding lunch. He was excellent - put all the guests at ease - even the ones that did not want to be photographed - and he was a big hit with the small children. He was punctual and he charged a very reasonable price. The photos were available online for us all to share within a couple of days. I will certainly be using Jonathan again for any other functions we want photographing More...

We have always wanted to have a family photo but getting 4 generations together was hard. The photo shoot went incredibly well and everyone was relaxed and had a genuine happy face rather than a forced smile. Would definitely do it again.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Understand what your clients want and planning but also being able to respond to opportunities that present them selves when shooting as quite often these can produce the best shots of the day. it is also knowing exactly what your camera can and cannot do which will allow you to get the best possible results.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
do you know what you want, do you have a style in mind and do you like being photographed. These questions will allow me to understand the client better and help in the planning of the photographs I will take. Once a know a style I can make suggestions which will help the style or theme and suggest locations that will work well with that. If a client is nervous or unsure of having their pictures take I will work with them to overcome this and show them how to pose and stand which will help put them at ease.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people and helping them to create the pictures that they want of their event or commission. The organizing of people to ensure events run smoothly and to see problems as they arise and fix them before other who are attending realize. Exceeding customer expectations and blending into the event so becoming part of it not an addition to it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To create the type of customer service I want for my clients and to deliver great photography for my customers. To be flexible and work with many different people and events as possible to further my knowledge and then use that experience to create better pictures and cust5omer service
Why should our clients choose you?
My easy going approach coupled with years of experience and regular training helps me produce what clients want. I want to get it right in the camera not spend hours post processing, I will shoot to a plan so that I do not miss any part of the shoot.
I am a full time professional so have back up equipment, insurance, Pat testing for my equipment, back up if I am ill and a great sense of humour.
I love working with people and getting to know people
