Based in Lancaster, Jon Bird Weddings specialises in wedding photography with a documentary-led, stylised approach. Expect emotive, authentic wedding photos and complementary cinematic films.
Hey — I’m Jon (JB). I’m a Lancaster‑based wedding specialist who treats each wedding as its own blank canvas. My focus is wedding photography, and I bring an editorial yet documentary approach: stylised presets give a consistent cinematic tone, while a ‘fly‑on‑the‑wall’ mindset keeps moments natural and honest. I shoot a limited number of weddings each year so every day I take on gets the full creative energy it deserves. Why choose Jon Bird Weddings? My work sits between emotive storytelling and polished, modern imagery. My wedding presets and colour palette create a cohesive look across photos and films, so your album and your footage feel like one memory. I’ve been invited to shoot across the UK and internationally, and my award recognition comes from a dedication to composition, light and authentic connection rather than staged formality. How I work with couples: it starts with a proper conversation. We talk about what matters to you, the feel of the day, and the moments you most want to keep. On the wedding day I stay minimal and unobtrusive — that’s how I capture real expressions and candid connections. For portraits I favour relaxed, conversational direction so you feel comfortable and present. If required, I can add coverage options such as a second shooter or unobtrusive aerial clips to enrich the story, but the heart of what I do remains authentic wedding photography complemented by cinematic wedding films. My videography strengthens the photographic story: signature films are crafted to relive the mood and emotion of your day, while extended director’s cuts and social edits are available if you’d like more footage or short, shareable highlights. Everything is edited to the same stylistic standards so your photos and films sit beautifully together. I love real people, real moments and real days — and I limit bookings to keep that personal focus.
