Jon Cripwell Photography Full Description
I’m Jon and I’m a wedding photographer based in Derby, covering weddings across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and around the UK. I love meeting happy couples, getting to know them, sharing in the most important day of their lives and then wowing them with incredible pictures that tell the story of their wedding day; capturing something of the magic that they can treasure and pass on to their children and grandchildren. Couples I love to work with can’t wait to see their photos and share them with friends and family. All my packages include the high-resolution digital images from the wedding, and I always smile when I see one of my photographs appear as my client’s new Facebook profile picture! Getting to know my couples really well is at the heart of everything I do in my business. Scroll down to find out how I aim to offer the best possible service to every single couple I work with. Your wedding day is just that – a whole day. Therefore your photographs should tell the story of your whole wedding, from those early morning preparations through to Uncle Dave dancing with his tie round his head, Rambo-style, at the end of the evening. All my packages include full coverage of your big day, meaning that you’ll have the complete story of your wedding to look back on, and since there will be two of us, we can capture both sides of the wedding day morning story! In the morning I’ll photograph THE dress, any accessories that you have chosen, and the general chaos and special moments that happen before you leave to get married. Having two photographers is really useful during the wedding ceremony too, as it means we can tell the story from multiple angles without having to run around the venue and potentially distract your guests from the important stuff happening up front! Then, from confetti to speeches and through to dancing, we’ll ensure that we don’t miss a thing.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Jon Cripwell
Hey, I'm Jon. Thanks for stopping by. I'm a husband, father, photographer, writer and teacher. I LOVE shooting weddings because they're such a unique day in the shared life of a couple - plus there's cake, good music and everyone is having a good time; what's not to like? My aim is to tell the full story of your day, from the early morning preparations right through to Uncle Bob's dubious dancefloor moves - preserving memories to last a lifetime.

Jon was friendly and really easy to talk to
Jon was friendly and really easy to talk to right from the start and made us both feel so comfortable. Neither of us are particularly confident in front of the camera but Jon directed us in what we should do during both the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. The pictures turned out so natural looking, which is exactly what we wanted. He blended into the background and took loads of photos of all of our guests, with many commenting they didn’t realise he had been there all day!

We genuinely can't thank Jon enough
We had the most incredible wedding day, and it was captured perfectly by Jon & Abbi. We opted to have two photographers (one to take the staged photos and one to take candid photos) and we also opted for the videography. The photos we received were plentiful (around 800 photos from the day) and all of incredible quality.

Jon has not just been a fantastic photographer...
I don't even know where to begin when it comes to writing a review for Jon Cripwell. From the moment we made contact to our current chats (we're on 'designing the album' stage) Jon has not only been the most fantastic photographer but has also been a great friend to us both. Our engagement shoot was the perfect way to get to know each other and to put my camera-shy husband at ease! Our wedding guests have commented that they didn't even notice both photographers at our wedding which was exactly the way we wanted it to be. Jon has been so professional throughout and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Yesterday we received our wedding photos....and I've never smiled and cried as much- they are truly stunning. Jon has captured every beautiful and intimate moment and we will treasure our photos forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and I have now recommended him to my beauty therapist and sister who have both booked him for next year already! Jon topped the whole experience off with a surprise for us both...a tear-jerking video of our best photos along with video snippets we didn't even know he'd taken! Jon- we can't thank you enough for everything and for making our day one we will never forget. Jess and Adam

...extremely professional, friendly, understanding
We can't recommend Jon enough. From our initial meeting with him until after our wedding day, he's been extremely professional, friendly, understanding and completely put us at ease. We knew we would love our wedding photos after we saw our engagement shoot photos, but they honestly are incredible. Jon is so talented and captured the essence and all of the little details of our day so perfectly. He was great on the day with all our family, friends and guests and we've had so many comments from them on how great Jon was on the day. Thank you so much!

Jon made both of us feel relaxed...
Jon was photographer at our wedding in July last year. He is such a lovely guy, made both of us feel relaxed, despite being totally camera shy people! He listened to what we wanted and created beautiful photos that show all the emotions of our perfect day. We can't thank Jon enough for the beautiful photos, we just need to decide which ones to use now!

Shots of us and our guests that I will treasure
Jon was our wedding photographer in August 2017. He was so lovely as was Ben. They were so easy to have all day and felt like an extra couple of guests. I would highly recommend Jon especially as I have just received my photos and I think we will genuinely struggle to narrow it down for the album. I didn't want to do the engagement shoot as I felt a bit nervous but I'm glad I did as it gave us a chance to get to know Jon and meant that there were no nervous stick up bum photos on the day! He managed to capture natural beautiful shots of us and our guests that I will treasure. Thank you

Frequently Asked Questions
(6)

What is your most memorable wedding?

It's going to sound cliche, but I genuinely remember EVERY single one of my weddings, because I always take the time to get to know my clients really well - we become friends on the run-up to the big day!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Romantic, elengant, timeless, natural, dramatic

What about your business are you most proud of?

Whenever I see one of my photographs printed at a client's house, or even shared on social media, I always feel proud :-)

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do what YOU want to do, not what you feel you SHOULD do.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One that springs to mind was from a fantastic wedding at The West Mill where the bride and groom had written a personal note on the inside of each of the guests' table place names.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Go with the flow - be flexible and don't worry too much. A good photographer will find indoor or outdoor locations that work for you, in the unlikely event that it actually rains ALL day!
