About

Professional Full-Time Wedding, Portrait and Freelance Commercial Photographer since 2004. I shoot weddings in my own personal, semi-documentary style, with fun and often a little vintage twist. I love quirky couples looking to do things a little differently, same sex couples, older couples and couples looking to have a photographer for just a few hours to 8 hours max.

Johnny was an absolutely brilliant choice for our wedding : relaxed style, friendly demeanour, good humour and willing to think outside the box. To me, he is an photography artist who captures weddings stunningly. I can't recommend Johnny enough. Thank you Johnny for documenting our wedding so perfectly :) More...

Everybody comments on how wonderful our wedding pictures are.I hate having my picture taken but felt so relaxed and at ease. We met and spoke with Johnny several times before the wedding, he took the time to get to know us both which was such a lovely touch as it didn't feel like a stranger had turned up at our wedding. It also meant we got everything we hoped for and more! I would recommend BEANPHOTOgraphy to anybody who wants to capture their wedding day in a true and unique style. We are so happy with our pictures. More...

Round the North by Northwest, there is no one to match Johnny Bean. We asked him to take a family portrait. He's an exceptional photographer. He really listened to what we wanted, he really put us at ease, and he came up with some inventive and quite beautiful shots that really fitted the brief. We were so happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. More...

Johnny is amazing! He captured the whole feel of the day and the individual shots were beautiful. If you want a photographer who is always in the right place at the right time, to snap those special moments…then look no further. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Eureko is an international trade and export services company based in the North West of England. Whenever we need great photos of our team for social media, website or general promotional purposes, we turn to Johnny Bean. Quite simply, he's one of the most experienced, talented and easy-to-deal-with photographers in the region. Taking photos for a company's commercial image and identity requires<span id="moreReview522368" class="hide"> the artist to grasp the psychology of the specific business sector as well as of the individual's product or services. Johnny possesses a rare knack for getting inside the intangible business mentality and business personality and revealing them both through facial expression, posture, backdrop and those telling minutiae of clothing, colour and group configuration. And he achieves all of this with an informality and, frequently too, with a whacky (and relaxation-inducing) sense of humour. We've also been to his public exhibitions where he captures pretty effortlessly what is striking, popular and sensuous in the everyday world of the present. It goes without saying therefore that Eureko Associates recommend him most strongly as a naturally gifted and versatile photographer for all seasons and occasions.</span> More...

Amazing amazing amazing!! From our first contact with Johnny to our last photo of the day he was just brilliant. We certainly got our money's worth as Johnny stayed until the end of the speeches which went on longer than expected. We got hundreds of amazing pictures which captured our day perfectly, we know we will look back at these for the rest of our lives and it will feel like it just<span id="moreReview475893" class="hide"> happened yesterday. There was such attention to detail from my photo being taken through the christmas tree to Johnny laying on the floor taking photos of my precious rabbits!! He was so laid back and at no point was 'ordering' people about which I have experienced before from other photographers and again this is reflected in the amazing photos!! I couldn't imagine using anybody else, he just fit in to our wedding day perfectly and a lot of my family and friends have commented on this. He even managed to keep some secrets as he kept in touch with my mum on the lead up to the wedding. We would definitely recommend Jonathan Bean Photography so much so that my sister gets married next year... And guess who is on the top of her list!!</span> More...
