John Colson Photography

John Colson is a Kidderminster-based wedding photographer who specialises in documentary-style wedding photography, creating elegant and authentic images that tell the story of your day. His work is built around a simple philosophy: capture real moments without forcing them. That means fewer posed shots and more honest emotion—those quiet glances, laughter, and spontaneous interactions that make your wedding truly yours. Working primarily across Worcestershire, the West Midlands and the UK, John brings a relaxed, friendly presence to every celebration. Couples often comment that his unobtrusive approach feels more like having a calm friend with a camera than a formal photographer—an atmosphere that helps even the most camera-shy guests be themselves. John goes to each wedding determined to work hard, blend in with the day and shape beautiful, timeless photographs you will want to look at for years to come. What sets John apart is his commitment to documentary storytelling married with an eye for elegance. He doesn’t arrive with a fixed checklist of shots; instead he reads the day, anticipates moments and composes images that feel natural and refined. His portfolio shows a range of emotional moments—from intimate preparations and emotional ceremonies to joyful confetti scenes and lively receptions—always captured with clarity, warmth and a sense of place. John’s work has been featured in print and online wedding publications and he is a recommended supplier on well-known wedding sites, reflecting the consistent experience he offers couples. He photographs everything from small, intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, and occasionally takes commissions further afield for destination weddings when a couple’s story calls for it. If you’re planning a wedding in Kidderminster, Worcestershire or the West Midlands and you want a wedding day photographer who values authenticity, calm professionalism and beautiful, lasting images, John Colson provides a tailored, personable service that focuses on capturing the genuine moments that matter.
