Wedding photographer

Informal and candid story-telling style using natural light

I didn't start out to become a wedding photographer, landscapes first, and then surfing action photography were my early photographic passions, but over the years I have found it both personally inspiring and creatively rewarding to capture the fun and excitement of the big day. I love to tell the story of that day by catching those special intimate & candid moments that might otherwise be forgotten, and i'm delighted to see the way that people are responding so positively to this fresh & contemporary style with their testimonials.

I'm not offering your usual 'wedding packages' and I wouldn't put myself forward for a very stuffy, formal wedding, where the focus was on having all the group shots 'just so' instead of actually having fun and enjoying the experience. But if you like what you see and read on this page, and like the idea of an informal approach using natural light from a friendly, approachable and flexible professional photographer, then get in touch and maybe we can work something out for your special day. Please contact initially me via email photo@jasonswain.co.uk or call me on 0787 203 9384.
