Special Day Studios

Jon and Scott we cannot thank you enough and also Adam. From our very first meeting you made us feel comfortable and relaxed from what you said you would be able to do for us on our special day you did that and so much more. you were all so in touch with each other the communication and respect you have for one another is incredible. So professional. Our guests also commented on how professional you were and the amount of hours you put in was way more than we expected. You Also made our guests feel very relaxed and although there are so many amazing pictures you all just blended in with everyone and captured everything so naturally. We are extremely pleased with our photos and the way that the video has been put together really touches our hearts. We just want to say a huge thank you for being so friendly and funny and giving us memories that we can treasure forever. Thank you so much.

From arranging the first meeting through to getting the photos, Jon and SDP couldn't have been more helpful or professional. We arranged to meet up one evening for a quick chat having been impressed with the photos and prices online, and immediately knew that Jon was the photographer for us. He made us feel at ease, understood what we wanted and was able to guide us and make recommendations. On the wedding day itself, it was much the same! He made us feel relaxed, helped us through and took some wonderful photos. From shepherding all of our guests for the formal shots, to some great candid snaps and some beautiful shots of just the bride and groom - we really couldn't be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Jon and SDP to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We recently received the photos in a gorgeous personalised wooden box, with a number of print outs and a USB with all of the photos and it is everything we wanted and we can't wait to show them off. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for our amazing photos. Jon & Scott were amazing on our big day too, so friendly and helpful, especially Jon having to step in last minute! I can’t wait to see the video! Thank you again!

Jon was a BRILLIANT photographer. We had lots of comments from our guest on how friendly and lovely he was. I hate having my photo taken and he made it all so fun. He would see little details and photograph them. Would 100% choose Jon again. Can't wait to see the photos! Jess and Ben x

We've just got our photo's back and they are amazing, Jon captured some beautiful moments from our wedding and we will treasure them. We really can't recommend enough.

A year ago we got married and we have been reliving our wedding day through the amazing photos that Jon took of us on our special day! He was amazing from start to finish, discussing ideas and what we wanted on the day to then putting this into action on the very day. All the photos were perfect and captured what was truly a beautiful day - from the very start of the day to the end! Thank you so much Jon for capturing such special moments of our very special day! Would highly recommend you!

Jon and the team were incredible! They made us and our guests feel so comfortable and were very supportive whilst giving great advice. True professionals, couldn’t recommend more!

I highly recommend Scott and Jon. They are incredibly professional and smart. They are very good at making a relaxed atmosphere. The final product is to a very high standard.

Matthew and Selina are both musicians, and took inspiration from music when styling their wedding. It’s a wonderfully glamorous day full of sequins and sparkle, with a laid back vibe. The bouquet is breathtaking – and don’ you just love Selina’s glorious hair colour?
