Surrey Wedding Photographer

I'm Jason and I live and work with my wife Carrie photographing Weddings in Surrey mostly, but I do travel and I've been lucky enough to capture amazing weddings all over.

I'm dedicated to having the best job in the world and making sure the people I work with get the photographs they want and deserve. At it's best it's a collaborative process - I work hard to make that happen, always looking for the stuff that is earthy and real, and always making recognisably authentic art as I go.

I'm lost in music, I love cooking (I used to be a chef, too), and I make art and music in my spare time, if I get any spare time. Being outdoors is my jam, as they say, but I don't like actual jam.

My biggest influence is my family. They make me who I am and they make me want to be better at being me! The complex relationships mashed into the every day are the things that really inspire me.

We are invested in life and love. We have a growing family with twin daughters and their brother in tow. Every day is precious, and we strive for deep connections.

I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your plans.

The Best Wedding Photographer in Surrey

It’s important to me that you know that I’m not big-headed or arrogant about this. Any of it. I’m proud of being good at what I do, but I’ve been around long enough to know that it’s not about me. Your wedding; It’s about Your Big Story, your family, your friends, your people,  and having a good photographic storytelling approach is only possible if I can find you in the centre of all of that. It has to be about you – not me.

What matters is that I’m a normal person, quite private, have enough friends to be able to lose myself once in a while, I recognise that in couples getting married – I can see people with their friends and family – I know how that stuff works and I integrate well with people whether or not we like the same cheese.

I have a shed-load of experience and I know how to photograph weddings, and I deliver on that every time.

Most of the couples who book met want to feel relaxed and want to enjoy spending time with their guests. A lot of people don’t want to be under pressure to perform for a ‘photo shoot’ on their wedding day, and instead prefer a softer, more natural feel. This suits me just fine. I like to let the wedding be a wedding. I observe, and integrate a journalistic or storytelling type of approach to capturing the day as it unfolds without getting in the way and without making it all about me. I’d describe my style as Bespoke Fine art/Documentary, but I’m wary of abstract definitions.

Shooting weddings has always been about getting to the core of a couple’s story. It’s very personal when you think about it, and for me it’s essential that I can get to that story in a relaxed and honest way.

I’m a professional full time Wedding Photographer. Carrie is the invisible, irresistible force behind everything we do. We work together, we run a family together, and she helps and drives all aspects of what we do with wedding photography.

With photography we make a carefully refined, simple, and powerful document of your wedding, your way, with your people. It’s about finding your narrative and telling your authentic story through pictures.

I’ve worked in the fashion world and the film industry too. I’ve worked with and photographed celebrities, and I’ve run my own studio. I’ve loved every minute of it, but weddings are just about as real as it gets and I wouldn’t change my work for anything.

I’ve never entered into or won an award for my photography, so I’m sorry – I’m not ‘award winning’.

I don’t care about this, and nor do the couples I’ve photographed. It’s not because I’m bitter at having not won an award that I would have had to pay to enter either. It’s Because most awards don’t mean anything. Not a thing. Life’s too short.

It’s good for you because it means I don’t use this as an automatic trigger to raise my prices.

I do regularly feature in The Times Newspaper, and online Wedding Magazines and blogs. (I don’t get paid for this, and I don’t pay to be published. It’s just a nice thing to do).

Down to earth & accessible, I’m all about keeping it simple, but at the same time  totally in love with the poetry and drama in great wedding stories. I know there’s a lot of reportage style photography around at the moment – it’s a big part of what I do, but there’s nothing wrong with getting your loved ones in front of the camera for a few formal photos. Getting those essential shots without being stuffy or boring is important too.

 

Your story is happening right now, and what happens matters. – you’re travelling at the speed of light, and I’ll be there to show you what that looks like.
