John was amazing on the day of my sisters wedding. Very professional, he absolutely took everything into consideration regarding weather and position of guests.
John even stayed later than we expected.
I booked him as a surprise photographer for my sisters wedding. Was not let down whatsoever.

It was an absolute pleasure having John be part of our special day doing photography. From the very first encounter, John was really friendly and professional and keen to make sure we would have photos that were perfect for us. On the run up to the day John s communication was great and answered any questions (no matter how silly we felt they were) and responded fast. On the day John arrived promptly and put a lot of effort into ensuring the lighting was right and made use of the daylight. John managed to capture our wedding day and the joy experienced by everyone effortlessly and we now have photographs to cherish for a lifetime. It was a perfect mixture of set up and candid photos. John also provided a free video of the day, which we loved so much and can revisit it any time now. We cannot thank John enough for his kindness, patience and professionalism and will be recommending to everyone! Thank you! :) More...

Hi Vicky & James, your wedding at The Gathering venue in Stepps, Glasgow, in December 24, was a memorable day.  From a photographers's perspective, there were an abundance of places inside and outside the venue, to capture beautiful photos; your host was also an excellent MC and added significantly to the whole day.  But it was memorable and a delight for myself personally to meet you both, along with your lovely family and friends, which made taking your photos and video so easy to do.  Filming your speeches was moving and also entertaining, particularly from your Bridesmaid whose sung contribution will entertain you for years to come! Thank you so much for your lovely review and for giving me the opportunity to share your very special day.  I hope all goes well for you both and I wish you continuing happiness.  With kind regards, John www.jmphotography.video

From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, your experience and professionalism let us feel trustful and no more worrying. You captured every special moment of our day beautifully and naturally. We felt comfortable in front of the camera and video truly made a difference. Also, you are so flexible to match our Chinese style banquet in the evening and the lighting and composition in your photos are stunning. We were able to relax and enjoy our day, know that you were capturing everything perfectly. We and our guests are very satisfied with the photos. Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication. We will cherish these memories forever and will happily recommend you to our friends and family. More...

Hi Susan & David, thankyou for your lovely review. I am happy that you loved your wedding photographs & video taken at your Church ceremony at Colston Milton Parish Church and at your evening reception at the famous Loon Fung Restaurant in Glasgow. It was also most kind of you to invite me to join your banquet at the Loon Fung. The food was superb and your hospitality was very much appreciated. It was a real pleasure for me to do your wedding photos and video. You and David were so easy to work with and I enjoyed meeting all your guests and your minister conducted a simply beautiful wedding ceremony. I wish you and David congratulations, health and every happiness in your marriage. With kind regards, John, JM Photography & Video.

John is a great guy, very friendly and professional. I explained exactly what I was looking for with my photos as I didn’t want anything OTT. Just lovely and simple, and the photos came out amazing. He sent all the photos on USB and also a link to a website where we could view and save them. This was all done within a few weeks of our wedding which allowed us to print out the photos we wanted and share with our families. Would recommend him as he was so affordable and accommodating especially for us who planned our wedding in only 10 weeks. More...

Hi Nikki & Richard Thanks for kind words. Your venue, Wedderburn Barn in Duns is so attractive, your outdoor ceremony was just great in lovely setting, guests enjoying the beautiful surroundings throughout the afternoon. I spoke to and photographed & filmed many of your guests, a really nice crowd of people! I also think you got the balance right with the time spent on photographs. Some couples spend the whole afternoon getting photos done and miss out enjoying their guests. The whole afternoon becomes a photoshoot and you never get that time back; you organised things just right, got all your photos done but still had time to enjoy your afternoon. Your wedding was really memorable and I love your photos & video, it was such a pleasure to meet you both. Kind regards and thanks John www.jmphotography.video T: 07870 693512

John is lovely and very understanding of what I pictured in my heads. In the planning stages he was happy to email and speak over the phone to make plans for the day.

He went above and beyond with meeting me prior to the proposal to set me up with a mic for the video.

Upon arrival at Rydale, he was able to find the location I chosen and set up with out my now fiancé noticing!

The video is lovely and will be cherished forever. John took an abundant amount of images which gives us plenty of choice when picking out favourites.

If you are considering having a photographer to capture the special moment of a proposal, in the Lake District or surrounding areas; you can’t go wrong with JM photography.

Katey is very happy with the video and images taken and we will continue showing everyone our special moment.

Thanks again John.

My daughter got married at The Rhynd, St. Andrews and we sought the services of JM Photography & Video as our videographer for their wedding. We were pleased with the price we paid, very competitive. Our videographer, John arrived early and liaised with the photographer. They worked great as a team. John spent the whole day from wedding preparation to the first dance. We received our copy of the video footage approx. 2 weeks after the wedding and we were very pleased with the coverage. John put together a highlight video to music that captured the perfect mood of the day. We also received the full day's events involving all our guests and some best wishes. We also got some lovely photos from John. I would not hesitate to highly recommend JM Photography & Video as they were professional, and very easy to work with, with no stress.

Chris and I had a just the two of us wedding at Storrs Hall in Windermere. We wanted a photographer who would give us some relaxed photos that we could treasure following our ceremony. I found it difficult to find a photographer in that area that would do a small wedding for only a couple of of hours. Other photographers either didn’t respond or only wanted the bigger weddings until we can across John on BARK. I made an enquiry and John returned my call on the same day and talked me through the process. I was left feeling positive that I found someone who would fulfill our requirements and you didn’t have to pay a deposit. John didn’t disappoint on the day, we got our relaxed photo session without being formal and a video included. John made me and Chris feel relaxed and stress free he was very professional and very well organised. Our photo file was sent online in less than a week. Amazing quality and love the fact we have all our memories on a memory stick is amazing. Thanks John for contributing to our perfect day. We would recommend John for any wedding. More...

Q&As

To take a good photograph is to recognise a good photograph, something people do the world over, every minute of every day, mainly using their phones. To take photographs professionally means not just recognising a good photograph, but bringing together a combination of knowledge and skills. For weddings, it’s about understanding light indoors and outdoors, using high quality equipment, technique and composition skills to capture not just a few, but hundreds of great shots during the wedding day. Weddings are not always like the Magazines but are hard work and require good organisational and interpersonal skills from the photographer and patience to capture what the clients want. Difficult circumstances arise frequently, challenging the photographer to manage the photoshoot; this is where experience is so valuable to get the results within the time available.

Details of the wedding venue(s), how many guests, times, what shots do the clients want, do they want formal and casual photos? Also, how do they feel about being in front of a camera-is there anything the photographer should look out for/avoid?

I like meeting people and working hard , swiftly and carefully to produce results that people will treasure for a lifetime.

The majority of photographers are self employed. I have been a photographer all of my life and so it was a natural progresssion to start my own business in 2007. I love weddings, portraiture, studio photography, events and magazine photoshoots. I am also a trained videographer with professional photo/ video editing and production skills.

When you choose JM Photography & Video, you will get the benefit of experience, technique and professionalism. Reading some of my 5 star BARK reviews, almost 70, you will find out how others were delighted to get the results for which you too, hope and want!

I can deliver services online and remotely. Products can be mailed to me and will be posted back within 48 hours. Photos will be sent by online file transfer. Photo prints and albums can also be ordered from my website.

During restrictions, I have shot 24 weddings and outdoor portraiture safely. Over two days, I shot portraits of all staff of a Glasgow organisation for a fun 2021 calendar. I follow all venue safety protocols, masking, sanitising, social distancing.
