“Colin did such an amazing job photographing our wedding! His kind and laidback nature helped us just relax and enjoy our day.
We love his style of work, capturing natural and authentic moments. We have so many beautiful photos now that we will cherish forever. Sometimes we didn’t even know he was there! And it just means that we have some really special and perfect pictures now.
All of our pictures are stunning and we couldn’t have asked for more. So, so happy with all of his hard work.
Plus our golden retriever, Bowie, absolutely loved him!”

Hello, my name is Colin Jones and I’m a Wedding Photographer based in County Durham, delivering fun, authentic and professional photography.
-
My approach is akin to a 'fly on the wall,' capturing candid moments while infusing creativity to produce stunning photographs.
-
I'll keep in close communication to ensure I’m aligned with your vision. On the big day, I dive into the action, mingle with guests, and have fun!
-
I don’t create the moments; you do. I capture them and turn them into unique photographs.
-
I’m all about capturing your genuine moments. Your wedding day is about you and I’ll never dictate how you should hold hands, kiss, or any other moment.
It’s your day, your way.
photographs with authenticity & meaning.
my approach.
“I aim to observe and not direct.
I am not going to take photos to make your wedding look perfect.
It is the imperfect moments I am looking for. This is how we tell your story”.
NO STAGING. NO POSES. NO AWKWARDNESS.
a relaxed and non-traditional approach.
is this the best job in the world?
uh…yes.
some featured weddings…
let’s dive in.
i am here to guide you.
a good place to start.
I have personally put together a free wedding guide filled with valuable tips and insights I’ve gained throughout my journey as a wedding photographer. In this guide, you’ll find advice based on my experience and additional information about me and my photography style.
Weddings are for celebrating.
not uncomfortable posing.
let’s be real.
Weddings have changed. Traditions have changed.
We’ve moved beyond the era of gaudy, over-the-top images and flashy photos.
Most couples want a photographer who can seamlessly blend in, capturing their day authentically with a natural touch and minimal disruption.
Weddings are a celebration of a new family with their friends and relatives.
As a wedding photographer, my role is to authentically and naturally document the coming together of two families. I’m there to let your day flow organically without instructing you or causing interruptions.
This is YOUR day, NOT mine.
a storyteller wedding photographer.
The process.
Documentary Style.
First is the documentary style, which is like “fly on the wall” photography, where I capture everything naturally. This enables me to photograph the true emotions of you and your guests and get all the laughs, cries, hugs, embarrassing moments, and general enjoyment of the day.
Creative Style.
This involves me ensuring we get the best quality and the most beautiful photographs possible. Don’t worry; this doesn’t involve cringy poses that can make you feel uncomfortable. It goes as far as “just walk over there” or “try standing here” using the best light and composition possible.
The result.
The combination of documentary photography with a creative style is a collection of storytelling wedding photographs. In my opinion, there is no better way to capture your wedding day.
