Hi!
I’m John, a documentary wedding photographer based in Swansea, South Wales; telling love stories all over South Wales and beyond.
I believe that every couple and every wedding is unique, and it is my goal to tell your love story through my photographs.
My style is the opposite of cheesy posing, I’m all about real moments, this means you just need to be yourself and have fun, I’ll do the rest!
To be a part of one of the most important days in a couples life is incredibly special to me, I don’t take it for granted.

MY wedding photography STYLE?
I photograph the day as it happens and unfolds in front of me in a documentary way.
This means I generally don’t set things up, intervene and fuss around trying to manufacture a scene.
This is great for you as you don’t need to worry about anything being set up for me or having to pose.
I use my experience of over a decade as a wedding photographer to capture the moments in-between, photographs that show how a moment felt, rather than just how it looked.
