Feels like one of those weeks where you blink and suddenly it’s Easter, so here is my quick Easter Check-In. I don’t know about you, but this time of year always seems to creep up out of nowhere, one minute it’s freezing and you’re questioning all your life choices, and the next everyone’s talking about chocolate and long weekends like we’ve not just come out of winter.

Most people think they’re booking a Wedding Photographer, someone to take photos of their special day. Nice and simple. Turn up, take a few pictures, go home. That’s the expectation anyway... The reality is very different.

A week or so ago, I put a post up on social media. I asked my followers and people on my personal Facebook to ask me anything. It was a bold move, and because I like to live dangerously, and honestly, I think I'm a gluten for punishment, I also gave everyone the option to make it anonymous too.

A couple of years ago, I tried something a little different. Instead of doing things the usual way, I opened the door to skill swaps. Photography in exchange for a service or product that another business offered. No awkward haggling, no favours owed, just two business owners backing each other.

Grateful, knackered, inspired, and ready for what’s next. As the year winds down and my inbox finally quietens a bit, it feels like the perfect time to stop, breathe, and look back by reflecting on 2025, which has just flown past.

One of the biggest surprises couples have when they start planning their wedding is just how early photographers get booked. You secure your dream venue, start getting excited about outfits, décor and the general vibe, and then suddenly you realise suppliers are disappearing faster than the last roast potato at a Sunday dinner. And honestly, I do not blame you for being surprised. Nobody tells you this stuff until you are already knee deep in Pinterest boards and timeline str

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.”

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.

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.

2023 has been an incredible year. I've worked with so many amazing couples, suppliers and without a doubt made many new friends.

Our recent social media updates have been buzzing with excitement as we eagerly prepared for our fall photoshoots this year.

In a total plot twist, today's blog isn't about the classic "father of the bride" or "father of the groom" role. Nope, it's about yours truly stepping into the limelight!

Father's Day is a special occasion that allows us to express gratitude and celebrate the incredible role that fathers play in our lives.

I am immensely proud to announce that Jonathan David Photography has been named The Prestige Awards Wedding Photographer of the Year 2023!

When I get a chance to switch off and relax, I've got no shortage of other little hobbies that, when time allows, I love to get stuck into!
