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.

So first to Roger...
