About

Nice to meet you, I'm John!

I've had the pleasure of capturing my clients special day since 2008. Commercially, I've photographed the labour conference since 2017.

Adapting to yours and your partners vision, I blend a candid documentary-style approach to your wedding alongside staged group photos. I'll work with you to tell the story of your day with all the magical moments in between.

I'm based Essex/London but work across the UK and further afield, if required.

My Photography Style

Details are everything! Every moment of your day has been carefully considered, and should be remembered forever. I aim to create a documentary-style portfolio of your day, capturing candid moments of you and your loved ones.

Group shots are an important part of the day. Together we'll make sure every shot on your wishlist is covered. A perfect memoir to look back on for years to come.


As your wedding photographer, I'm there to make the photography as enjoyable as possible.

I'm there for you on your special day. I strive to be discreet, happy, helpful and unobtrusive.

John and Tommy were brilliant. On the day they were helpful and put us at ease. After the wedding our photos were delivered within a week of our wedding and we are so pleased with the quality of the photos and the story they tell of our day.

Ken and Sue Wedding 13th August 2022

John Higgitt was recommended by a friend and professional photographer.
From booking to actual wedding day he was in touch discussing the formal photos we required.
On the day he arrived early and was taking pictures of people in a relaxed mode and these turned out great.
He captured our special day just right with a balance of formal and more casual photos.
He was organised and on a really hot day was not rushing or phased in any way.He was considerate to an older relative and took family photos of her inside.
He was there for over 9 hours and didn't rush us for cake cutting and first dance.
Great service great photos, thank you.
Ken and Sue Cross.

Excellent!

From initial contact until the wedding day John was available helpful professional and friendly. Any queries were quickly addressed. The bride said the photos were perfect and she hates having photos taken of herself but loved the ones John did.

Professional through & through

We recently booked John to photograph our daughter’s wedding at Gosfield Hall.
We wanted a relaxed day but still to encompass those important groups for parents and bride & groom alike.
John took a full briefing and we were delighted with the results.
During the day John was asked to do further groups by guests and family and nothing was too much trouble .
We will and have already recommended John to others.
He also supplied a second photographer which gave us more than one angle of the ceremony etc and they captured some very special moments.

Beautiful photography

We recently used John for our wedding photography and we could not be more happy. John and Tommy worked relentlessly all day long coming up with some great ideas resulting in superb photos. The whole day was documented in beautiful photos taken by John a very passionate photographer who I would highly recommend for any occasion.

Perfect in every way

Firstly, John was a pleasure to deal with and secondly his organisational skills were second to none. He kept in touch with us prior to the big day and met up with us prior to the event to discuss a host of photo opportunities that he had scouted in his own time in the city of Bath, so as to meet our wants and needs.
We were guided by John"s expert eye and we had photographs taken in various locations, John not only managed to capture the big event, but also the glorious surroundings of Bath.
The resulting photographs were stunning and we have been thrilled with our wedding album and montage that John created

It has been almost a year since we got married, we had lots of different quotes that were very expensive and the photographers work did not reflect this.
Then we meet John, not only did he listen to what we wanted, his work was amazing. Our most important day was done like a story and every photo speak a thousand words, He did not overcharge us on pricing.

He is passionate, this is art, so pick John you will not regret it, however you decide to do your day, let John capture every moment, because you never know what emotions you'll miss

We got married in September and were lucky enough to have John as our Wedding photographers. We found John to be extremely professional yet easy to get on with and a pleasure to share our big day with. The photographs were prepared far faster than we were expecting and its safe to say that both of us and our families were thrilled with the results.
We cant recommend John Higgitt photography enough.

They are absolutely beautiful!! John has done a brilliant job of capturing the most precious day of our lives and we couldn't be happier and we also have some beautiful photos from our pre wedding shoot.

If you want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed who felt more like a friend then John is the guy. Thank you, from Izzy and Ashley smile emoticon
