JONATHAN OWEN · PARTY PHOTOGRAPHY · ESSEX
Natural party photography for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations, with relaxed coverage and group photographs whenever you want them.
PARTIES, BIRTHDAYS & ANNIVERSARIES
Birthday party, anniversary, first birthday, garden party or a big family get-together, I photograph it in a way that lets you get on with enjoying it. I work around the room, picking up the people, reactions, details and slightly chaotic bits that make the day yours.
If you want a few organised family or group photographs as well, just say. They’re a normal part of the service, with the balance shaped around what you want from the party.
Smaller celebrations may only need an hour or two. If the party has arrivals, food, speeches, entertainment and a dance floor, longer coverage gives the story more room. Tell me roughly what is happening and when, and I can help you work out a sensible amount of coverage before you book. Planning a different kind of occasion?

“We booked Jonathan as an event photographer for my auntie’s 40th birthday party in Southend, and he was absolutely brilliant. Super easy-going, professional, and managed to blend in effortlessly with the guests while capturing loads of great moments. The photos were amazing and delivered really quickly too. If you’re looking for a party or event photographer in Essex, I’d 100% recommend him!”
A mix of natural moments, guests, details and the bits that happen between the obvious photographs. Select any image to view it larger. See the photographs from a first birthday at Thamesbreeze in Leigh-on-Sea.
Send the date, venue or area, rough timings and what you’re celebrating.
I’ll check availability and suggest a sensible duration if you’re not sure how long you need.
I photograph the agreed coverage, then select and edit your photographs. Your party gallery will be ready within 7–10 working days, depending on workload at the time.
SIMPLE EVENT PRICING
That covers one hour of photography. Longer options run from 90 minutes through to full-day event coverage, so you can book around the party rather than squeeze the party around a package.
Coverage from
One hour
Yes. Birthdays, anniversary parties, first birthdays and other private celebrations all sit within my Event Photography service. I photograph parties across Essex, from smaller family get-togethers to larger evening celebrations.
There isn’t one fixed answer. An hour or two can suit a smaller celebration or a defined part of the party, while a longer booking makes sense if you want more of the evening covered. Send me the rough timings and what is happening and I can help you choose a sensible duration.
Yes. Group photographs are a normal part of the service when you want them. They can be planned in advance, arranged on the day or suggested when a group photograph would add something useful to the finished set. You decide how much or how little directed photography is included.
Party photography starts at £150 for one hour. 90 minutes is £190 and two hours is £230, with longer coverage available. You can see the full Event Photography prices or send me your timings for a quote.
Your edited party photographs will be ready within 7–10 working days, depending on workload at the time. I’ll send you a private, password-protected gallery where you can download individual photographs or the complete set at full quality. You can share the link and password with anyone you want to give access to the photographs.
A 30% deposit of the final quoted total secures your date. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the booking.
