Here is the thing. No one has planned a wedding before they start planning a wedding. There is no secret handbook, no cheat code, and definitely no magic download button that suddenly makes you an expert. So how on earth are you meant to know what actually helps you get stunning wedding photos and what quietly works against you?

Let’s be honest. Most couples aren’t models. You probably don’t spend your weekends practising poses in front of the mirror (and if you do, no judgement). So when the thought of a camera being pointed at you all day comes up, it’s totally normal to think: “We’re going to look awkward.”

If you’re planning a wedding in the UK, let’s be honest: rain is basically a guaranteed guest. But before you panic about soggy dresses and ruined hair, let me reassure you — rain on your wedding day doesn’t mean your photos are doomed.

Picking your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. Bigger than flowers, bigger than table favours, bigger than whether Uncle Dave gets to sing on the mic after three pints. Your photos are what you’ll still have long after the last bit of cake has been eaten, so choosing the right person matters.

Wedding photography is not about stiff poses anymore. It is about energy, story and personality. Couples book me because they want photos that feel alive and modern, something they will look back on and grin at rather than a gallery of formal smiles.

First of all, congratulations! If you're reading this, chances are you've just said "Yes!" and are basking in that post-engagement glow. But now that the initial excitement is settling, you're probably wondering, "Where do I even start?".

Planning your wedding day can be an exciting but overwhelming task. One key to a smooth and stress-free celebration is crafting a timeline that ensures everything flows seamlessly.

It’s tempting to pinch a few pennies where you can, and budget-friendly wedding suppliers might seem like a steal. But when it comes to wedding photography – the one thing that will preserve your big day forever – bargain-hunting can lead to heartbreak.

This past weekend, the Jonathan David Photography team packed up our cameras, albums, and maybe a sneaky bag of snacks and headed to the National Wedding Fayre for the very first time at the NAEC Stoneleigh

So it's the turn of the lovely Lance and Angela, who tied the knot at The Boathouse, just outside of Great Yarmouth. The boathouse is a stunning venue that as you would expect looks out over a vast lake. It's a lovely modern venue packed with charm, fantastic views, and a genuinely lovely place to get married.

If I had a gun held to my head and I had to describe the wedding of Tom and Emma in 2 words, those 2 words would be without a doubt: Perfect and Sticky.
