Why Book John Alderson Wedding Photography? – Professional Expertise and Unbeatable Value
After years of successfully balancing a teaching career and running a wedding photography business, I am now fully dedicated to capturing your most precious moments. Since stepping away from teaching photography, my business has soared to new heights, and I’m thrilled to offer an even more personalized, detail-oriented service than ever before.
My Experience and Expertise
Before teaching, I focused exclusively on wedding photography, crafting stunning images that tell the unique stories of countless couples. Teaching photography to budding professionals enhanced my technical knowledge and sharpened my ability to adapt to any situation. With over 30 years of experience and over 500 weddings photographed, I bring unmatched expertise to your special day. Whether it’s capturing the quiet moments before the ceremony, the laughter during speeches, or the magical first dance, I know how to create a visual narrative that reflects the joy and love of your wedding day.
Why Book a Professional Wedding Photographer?
In an era where everyone has a smartphone or a digital camera, you might wonder why hiring a professional photographer is necessary. The answer lies in the quality, consistency, emotional storytelling and security that only a seasoned professional can provide. Here are some compelling reasons why you should trust a professional like me:
Unmatched Quality: I invest in top-of-the-line equipment. Using full-frame DSLR and mirrorless cameras, paired with premium lenses and lighting setups, ensures sharp, vibrant, and timeless images.
Years of Experience: With over 30 years of wedding photography experience, I’ve navigated challenging weather conditions, tricky lighting, and tight timelines. My experience ensures that nothing is left to chance on your big day.
A Trained Eye: My years teaching photography have fine-tuned my ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. I can find creative angles and compose stunning shots that amateurs often overlook.
Peace of Mind: I know how to prepare for the unexpected. I carry backup cameras, memory cards, and batteries to ensure there are no disruptions to capturing your memories.
Post-Production Mastery: Professional editing makes all the difference. I spend hours perfecting your photos, enhancing their color, tone, and composition to deliver a polished final product.
Peace of Mind. I am a Licentiate of The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers as well as being a member of the Royal Photographic Society. I have won the Wedding Business Awards - North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 3 times and have been a National Finalist 3 times. As well as this I am fully insured for Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.
