Light With A Lens - photography by Dan Jones

Specialising in wedding photography from his base near Bearsden, Dan Jones (Light With A Lens) approaches every wedding as a story worth telling. As an award-winning, queer-inclusive and person-focused photographer, Dan aims to “unboring your photography” by creating dynamic, colourful images that reflect the personalities, emotions and connections of your day. What makes Dan different is his values-led approach. He’s driven by honesty, openness and collaboration — taking time to understand what matters to you, what moments you want remembered, and the style you love. Whether you want candid documentary moments, bold portraiture, or a mix of both, Dan combines a keen eye for detail with a playful sense of colour to craft wedding photos that feel authentic and editorial at once. On the day, Dan’s presence is calm and unobtrusive. He works to put people at ease, capturing natural interactions without forcing moments. He’ll collaborate with you during planning to make sure the timeline, key portraits and atmospheric shots are in place, then focus on catching those spontaneous, memorable instances that make each wedding unique. After the wedding, Dan edits images in line with his signature style and aims to deliver a selection of favourites quickly so you can share the news, followed by the full gallery within a short turnaround. Dan’s photographic influences include storytellers and portrait-makers who blend emotion with strong visuals, and his mostly self-taught background gives him a flexible, creative outlook. His portfolio includes intimate ceremonies, colourful receptions and community-led celebrations across Glasgow and the surrounding area, reflecting a genuine respect for all couples and the stories they bring.
