Award-Winning Wedding Photography Collections & Prices
Exceptional Photography. Your Story. Beautifully Told.
Your wedding photographs aren't simply pictures of one day. They become part of your family history — bringing back the people, emotions, laughter and moments long after the wedding itself is over.
With 35 years of wedding photography experience, three North East Wedding Photographer of the Year awards and professional LSWPP qualification, I offer something that cannot be measured simply by the number of hours spent behind a camera.
I offer experience, consistency and complete confidence in the quality of your wedding photography.
My approach combines natural, emotional storytelling with beautifully crafted portraits. I want you to enjoy your wedding rather than spend hours posing for photographs, so much of my work happens quietly in the background — anticipating moments and capturing them as they naturally unfold.
Every wedding is different, which is why I offer four carefully created photography collections.
The Intimate Collection - £449
Beautiful photography for smaller celebrations.
Created for intimate weddings, civil ceremonies and couples who require shorter coverage without compromising on the quality of their photography.
Your wedding may be smaller, but the moments are every bit as important.
The Intimate Collection provides professional wedding photography with the same care, attention to detail and professional finishing that I bring to every wedding I photograph.
Ideal for intimate weddings, registry office ceremonies and shorter celebrations.
The Signature Collection - £995
The story of your wedding, beautifully captured.
The Signature Collection is designed for couples wanting more comprehensive coverage of their celebration while retaining my relaxed and unobtrusive approach.
I'll capture the moments you expect — and many that you never realised were happening.
The emotion of the ceremony. The laughter between friends. Proud parents. Nervous glances. Beautiful portraits. The little details you've spent months planning.
Together, they become the story of your wedding.
The Prestige Collection - £1,495
My premium wedding photography experience.
For couples who consider their photography one of the most important investments they will make in their wedding.
The Prestige Collection provides extensive wedding-day storytelling, allowing me the time and freedom to document your celebration in greater depth.
From the excitement and anticipation earlier in the day through to the celebrations that follow, I'll create a comprehensive collection combining genuine moments with beautifully crafted portraits.
With 35 years of experience behind the camera, you can relax and enjoy your wedding knowing your memories are in experienced hands.
For many couples, this is the collection I recommend for complete wedding-day storytelling.
The Heirloom Collection - £1,795
Your wedding story. Preserved for generations.
There is something very special about seeing your wedding photographs beautifully presented in print.
The Heirloom Collection is my ultimate wedding photography experience, combining extensive wedding-day coverage with a beautifully handcrafted Wedding Album.
Your album is carefully designed around your photographs to tell the story of your celebration — creating something tangible that can be held, shared and eventually passed from one generation to another.
Digital photographs are wonderful.
A beautifully made wedding album becomes part of your family's history.
Included With My Collections
Depending upon the collection selected, your wedding photography can include:
Exclusive subscription to PASS, providing a beautiful Wedding Album App for your phone or tablet.
A heart-shaped USB presented in a walnut presentation box, containing your professionally finished photographs as high-resolution, print-ready files in both colour and black & white.
Your own Full Wedding Blog, featuring approximately 3,000 words and a carefully selected collection of photographs telling the story of your wedding.
And, with the Heirloom Collection, a beautifully handcrafted Wedding Album designed to preserve your story for generations.
Please see the individual collection details for the exact inclusions and coverage provided.
Your Wedding. Your Collection.
No two weddings are exactly alike, so your photography doesn't have to fit neatly into a box either.
All of my Wedding Photography Collections can be customised to your individual requirements.
Perhaps you need additional coverage. Maybe your ceremony starts later in the day. You might want to add an album, additional prints or arrange photography around something particularly important to you.
Tell me what you're planning and I'll help you choose — or create — the collection that works beautifully for your wedding.
A fuel charge may apply depending upon the location and travelling distance involved. This will always be discussed and agreed in advance.
Interest-free instalment options are available, allowing you to spread the cost of your wedding photography before your wedding day.
Why John Alderson Wedding Photography?
Wedding photography is an area where experience really matters.
A wedding doesn't offer second chances.
There is no opportunity to repeat the first look, the exchange of rings, a parent's reaction or that split-second moment of laughter between the people you love.
After 35 years of photographing weddings, experience has taught me not simply how to take a beautiful photograph, but how to anticipate those moments before they happen.
I've been privileged to be named North East Wedding Photographer of the Year three times and hold a Licentiate qualification with the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.
But ultimately, awards and qualifications aren't what your wedding is about.
It's about you.
My job is to use that experience to give you the freedom to enjoy one of the most important days of your lives — while I make sure its story is preserved beautifully.
