Event Photographer Jonathan Owen

Hi, I'm Jonathan, I've been photographing Essex events for over 20 years!

SWPP Member RPS Member DBS Checked Insured 7-day turnaround

I have a genuine passion for events of all kinds, and I love capturing a genuine smile in the moment. My goal is to tell the story of your event without getting in the way. From an intimate birthday party to a busy festival, I aim to capture everything, from the details through to the bigger picture, so you have photos to share and a proper reminder of how it all felt on the day. I look forward to hearing from you!
