John Payton Photography

We honestly couldn’t recommend John more. He photographed our Jewish-Nigerian wedding and captured the day so beautifully. From the chuppah to the dancing and everything in between, he managed to reflect both cultures so naturally. When we look back through the photos, you can really feel the joy, emotion and energy of the whole day. What meant a lot to us was how much he went above and beyond. He wasn’t just there taking photos in the background. He helped guide us through parts of the day, checked in on little details and made sure things were running smoothly. Having someone so calm and reassuring around us made a huge difference and helped us feel completely comfortable. When we received the photos we were genuinely blown away. They feel so natural and full of life, and he captured so many moments that we didn’t even realise were happening at the time. John is incredibly talented and also just a really lovely person to work with. We feel very lucky that he was the one who photographed our wedding. We’ll treasure these photos forever.

We cannot recommend John enough! From start to finish John was everything we wished from a photographer and more. He made us feel super relaxed on the day and our photos are just so beautiful 🤍. We knew after John shot my sister's wedding back in 2022 that we definitely needed to book him for our own and I am so glad we did! Not forgetting David too! Thank you John for capturing and being a part of the best day ever and for the most beautiful photos and video that we can look back on for many happy years to come 🤍.

We booked John for our photography and videography 2 years in advance of our wedding at Gosfield Hall, because we recognised that his work was just spectacular! The video calls before the wedding were extremely useful in planning the day and John understanding our vision. John was a friendly face on the day and brilliant with us and our guests! The photos/videos came out absolutely stunning — capturing every detail, emotion, and special moment perfectly. He made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and John’s attention to detail is unmatched. We couldn’t be happier with the final results and highly recommend John Payton for photography and videography!

We had John & David at our wedding at Mulberry House last August. We are absolutely over the moon with our photographs and our films. John has an amazing eye for detail and he is super easy to get along with creating no awkwardness making sure every shot is perfect. He often transforms into the occasional weather man which is a bonus. The photos and videos to us were probably the most important to get right as it gives us something to look back on for the rest of our lives. We definitely made the right decision with John we were in safe hands. Thank you both so much.

Omg John was incredible from start to finish. We had phone calls leading up to the wedding and he was such a calming presence on the day. Our photos are beautiful - thank you so much !!! Highly recommend

John was amazing throughout the whole wedding process, from my first enquiry up to the wedding day itself. His photos are absolutely beautiful, he is extremely talented! I spent a long time researching different photographers and I am so glad I chose John. Every photo is amazing and I’m so grateful he was able to capture such stunning memories of a truly perfect day. I also got over 100 photos back 2 days after the wedding which I was so grateful for! And the full set of photographs didn’t take long at all. Would 100000% recommend , you’ll be in safe hands with John.

We are beyond thrilled with the work of John and his team for our wedding photography and videography at Gosfield Hall. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. He captured every special moment perfectly, and the photos exceeded all of our expectations - every shot was stunning and thoughtful. The video was equally amazing, beautifully telling the story of our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful for the memories he helped create. Highly recommended!

Choosing John as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. From the initial meeting he was professional, kind, and interested in getting to know us as a couple. We decided to have a pre-wedding shoot with him and he made us feel so comfortable and confident. On our wedding day he was so attentive, reassuring, and communicated well with ourselves and other suppliers. He is someone you can trust and rely on, and he helped keep the day running smoothly for us. He even stayed later to ensure he captured all of our desired shots. His work is absolutely incredible, the photos he delivered were even better than I imagined, and he got them to us in record time. We’ve received so many comments from our guests about how beautiful his photos were. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

We couldn’t recommend John enough! From the very start, he was amazing – from the booking process all the way through to our wedding day. He’s incredibly friendly and instantly put us at ease. I (the bride) wasn’t the most confident in front of the camera, but John made it so much easier and actually fun! On the day, he was not only professional but also super helpful - a joy to have there as part of the day. The whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable, and the photos turned out beautifully. Simply put, John is just generally amazing- you couldn’t ask for a nicer wedding photographer (we also received a lovely little package shortly after the wedding - photo attached! It was beautifully presented!)

When I was researching wedding venues, it was actually John’s photographs that helped me choose Mulberry House as our wedding venue. So once that was booked, I knew I had to have John capture our big day. From the very beginning, his communication was amazing. We had a couple of video calls before the wedding to go over all the details, which made us feel completely at ease and ensured everything would run smoothly. On the day, John was punctual, professional, and in control, helping everything flow perfectly. He struck the perfect balance between capturing all the important moments and giving us plenty of time to relax and mingle with our guests. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and videos they’re stunning, and we’ve received so many compliments from friends and family. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’d thoroughly recommend John to anyone looking for a talented, organised, and genuinely passionate wedding photographer and videographer.
