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.

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.

I’ll post the rest when I get round to processing them. Currently sitting in the work queue are a set of proofs and an album design first though!
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

Some favourites past and present

I’m about to retire the current pair of hard drives that I keep all my wedding couples photos on as they’re reaching ‘very nearly full’, so before then I thought I’d have a look through and pick a photo or so from some weddings as a bit of a retrospective.

Model Shoot in Birmingham

Last Sunday I was lucky enough to be included in a group of photographers who went to Birmingham to ‘practice’ on a couple of willing models. This was arranged via an online community of wedding photographers, but mostly down to Gill Taylor, who had a heck of a weekend, but still managed to sort all...
