Jonny Gios Photography

If your wedding is happening in Kendal, the Lake District or anywhere across Cumbria, you need a photographer who knows the place, the light and how to let the day breathe. I’m Jonny Gios — a Kendal-based wedding photographer who specialises in relaxed, creative, story-led wedding photography. My images aim to feel honest and timeless: natural portraits, candid moments and those landscape backdrops the Lakes are famous for. Why couples choose me: I bring a combination of local knowledge, technical skill and a calm, personal approach. As an LRPS-recognised photographer I’m committed to excellence and continuous learning, and I shoot on professional Sony bodies to make sure your photos are sharp, colour-true and ready to print. I know the Lake District’s best viewpoints for portraits and the quieter corners where private, emotional moments happen — that local insight often turns a good wedding album into something truly special. My approach is simple and human. I work unobtrusively to capture the story of your day: the small gestures, the laughter, the look that says it all. I balance candid documentary coverage with shaped portraits so you get both authentic moments and beautiful, composed images of you as a couple. Whether you’re planning a large celebration, an intimate micro-wedding or an elopement on a fell, I tailor the day to your needs and personalities. How I work with you: we’ll talk through your plans in plain language — a coffee, a Zoom or a phone call — and I’ll advise on timing, locations and how to make the most of light and landscape. Pre-wedding shoots and engagement sessions are available for couples who want relaxed practice in front of the camera. On the day I keep things friendly and low-pressure, delivering edited images accessed through a first-class Bloom booking system once your photos are ready. Beyond stills I can also provide wedding videography as an optional add-on to create moving memories alongside your photographs. My priority is to create professional wedding photos you’ll love for years to come: natural, heartfelt, and unmistakably yours. If you’d like to talk about your Lake District wedding, please get in touch — I’d love to hear your story.
