Nottingham Wedding Photographers - Jon Rouston Photography bio picture

About Me

Hello and welcome to my website. I'm a wedding photographer based in Nottingham, East Midlands. Born and raised in Lincoln, I have managed to escape precisely one county away to Notts. I live with my fiancee Jo (yes, I am going through this wedding planning madness with you) and have just discovered Wii Fit, which I think, will be the death of me. To find out more, you can see my blog. The photo on the left is by John Owen.

My Approach

My style of photography is relaxed and informal. I don't pose people alot, preferring to record the moments as they happen, rather than try to create them, otherwise called photojournalistic, reportage or documentary photography. Then after your ceremony I'll take a few informal for you to remember your first moments as husband and wife and then return to capturing moments as they happen, your speeches, your first dance and the party into the evening.

What you'll recieve are great photographs that don't rely on 'special effects' to have impact. Photographs that allow you to remember what you saw, heard and felt on your wedding day. Photographs that will retell the story of your day, moment by moment each time you open your album.

New Year, New Website

Well kind of, I’ve made a few changes to the website, including giving the menus a spring clean and update, adding a few fancy bits (check out the contact form and about me menus) and a general update to the portfolio to reflect some of the newer pictures which hadn’t made it to the portfolio...

Roz & Phil

Roz and Phil were married at Emmanuel Church, Sutton Coldfield and then had their reception at Packington Moor, near Litchfield. This was a slightly last minute wedding for me, as I was covering for another photographer, Gill Taylor, who had a family emergency. We often get asked what happens if we get poorly on your...

Roger & Denise’s Favourite

Now we’re approaching the end of the wedding season (although my last wedding this year is December the 21st - brrrr, but ooh, christmassy!) I thought I’d round up some weddings this year by asking my couple’s what their single favourite wedding photo was, the experiment has thrown up some interesting results!
So first to Roger...

Another landscape

And then that’ it. The last few weeks have been absolute mayhem, so much so that taking these pictures seem like a distant memory now, but I put a fair bit of work into them (including getting up at 5am!) so I should post something. This is a coastal defence at Herne Bay Seafront.

Cheers

Ideas: Save The Date Cards

Planning your own wedding is great, as I get to trawl the web for lots of inspiration, but I thought I’d share our ‘Save the Date’ cards. As we’re planning our wedding in a pretty short timescale (5 months, actually 4 and a half!) we needed to get these out to people quickly. So one...

Churches Want You!

To get married there! The CofE is apparently looking at relaxing some of the ‘rules’ on getting married in Church, meaning that you can get married in a parish you don’t necessarily live in. See The Telegraph
