About

Hello, I’m John.   I assume you have come to this page to find out more about me and the business.

So a little about me….I grew up in Birmingham, but due to  some elocution lessons at school (not my choice!) I don’t really sound like a brummie (except when under the influence of alcohol). I like burgers, sunshine, coffee, cats, very very dark chocolate (and lots of it), subtitled films and TV series – my  current obsession is Scandinavian crime dramas.

I always remember having a camera when I was growing up (see below) but it wasn’t until I got my first digital camera that I took things seriously.  But even then I didn’t immediately think I could do it as a job so after uni I ended up working as an IT project manager for 10 years or so.  Over that time, I worked out that it was people photography that was my thing. I just loved hearing people’s stories and trying to capture personalities in a picture. All this led me towards wedding photography and in 2006 I shot my first wedding.

Kath, my wife keeps me sane and does a amazing job behind the scenes with the admin side of the business and also works with me as a second shooter on some weddings.  We live with Mia, our cat, who isn’t an awful lot of use to the photography business but keeps us entertained with her antics.

We are based in the beautiful Fazeley Studios in Birmingham– I fell in love with the atmosphere and design of the place – and working with the team here is great fun. If would like to find out more about my wedding photography, portraits or commercial photography, then why not get in touch.
