Paul Watson Photography

Paul Watson Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Jarrow, serving couples across the North East of England. Helmed by Paul Watson — who launched the business in 2013 after completing his degree at Chester University — the studio focuses on creating timeless, natural wedding photos that reflect the real emotion and atmosphere of your day. Why choose Paul Watson? His approach blends documentary sensitivity with a calm, conversational manner that puts couples and families at ease. Rather than forcing stiff poses, Paul looks for the small, candid moments — the stolen glances, laughter between guests, and the quiet seconds that tell your story. That observational style is balanced with thoughtful portraits when you want them, so you get a complete set of images that feel genuine and beautifully composed. How Paul works with couples is straightforward and personal. He takes time to understand each wedding, listens to priorities and locations, and aims to be a reassuring presence on the day. From initial enquiry through to delivery, the process is professional and friendly: clear communication, attention to detail on logistics and a focus on capturing the moments you’ll treasure. Paul’s experience shooting across the region — venues in Jarrow, South Shields and beyond — means he adapts to light, spaces and schedules while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. While wedding photography is the core expertise, Paul also offers complementary services such as a studio photo booth for evening entertainment and videography to preserve your day on film. These extras are available to create a fuller, multi-format record of your celebration, but the primary craft remains storytelling through still images. Paul Watson Photography prides itself on delivering professional wedding photos that couples love: authentic, well-crafted and made to last. If you’re planning a wedding in Jarrow or the North East and want a photographer who prioritises emotion, atmosphere and a natural style, Paul offers experienced, approachable coverage tailored to your day.
