Chester based Professional Corporate Photographer and Award Winning Video Producer, creating exciting visuals for you and your business.
Photography has always been a part of my life from a very early age. Starting my own photography business took longer than I expected with more than a few side-tracks along the way, a young family taking priority, it was put aside many times.
By 2007 I had started my own business as a professional photographer. I have previously worked with a wedding photographer, so I initially concentrated on family portraits and weddings, I love working closely with people of all ages, learning to help people to relax in front of a camera was just as important as learning how to use a camera, to capture the best image of them.
Over time my focus (pardon the pun) has shifted across more towards becoming a commercial photographer for business, with video production work being introduced in 2014. I now work with companies of all sizes from sole traders to multi nationals creating engaging corporate photographs of the team and the personalities that make up the team, showcasing your primary asset, your people. I work closely with you and your team to capture real life working images delivering the services your business provides and the goods produced, helping you to introduce yourself to your audience.
Portrait photography has never left me I still enjoy capturing portraits of families, as well as the horses and dogs in their world.
Having 3 daughters and previously working in a service environment has all helped me develop great interpersonal skills working with clients to create amazing photographs and video, which will capture the character in you.

Jon provided a wide range of excellent photos for my business. He listened carefully to my needs and was able to put in place a unique destination that has already lead to additional leads.
Rachael Owen CEO Halton Chamber of Commerce Dec 2023
"Thank you so much for your support on Tuesday, it was great to have you on board and an honorary member of the team for the day. It’s quite a full on day for us, doing the AGM and the Christmas Lunch back to back and having you there to help and support made such a difference. Not forgetting your brilliant photographs and videos which have recorded the day for prosperity – thank you. More thank anything, though, I’d like to thank you for for being you! You deliver every time, which is what professionalism is all about. The vibe you bring makes having your photo taken (which is always a little bit scary!) friendly and fun – not an easy task at all!"

Excellent service, quality of the photo's!
He made all my team feel relax, as most of us didn't want our photo's taken. I would highly recommend Jonathan, he arrive promptly and provided us with exactly what we needed.
Thankyou!

I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough. He takes the time to understand exactly what you are looking for and he delivers. He is obviously an amazing photographer but he is also a wonderful people person who managed to relax me and get photos that I would never have thought possible. I would not hesitate to use him again
Lisa Carew Operations Director NMS Recruit September 22
I have been networking for many years and have met some truly fabulous people.
Following our re-brand and after hearing some great testimonials at The Business Network Chester for Jonathan Davies I had no hesitation in approaching him to take some pictures of our team.
We had a fabulous morning with Jon capturing some images of the NMS team – Jon was professional, creative and fun and the team really enjoyed spending time with him.
I love our new pictures - they capture the essence of our team and the great people that work within it and I wanted to share some more of my favourites with you.
Rebecca Harburn Legat Owen August 2022
Jon came to our office on two occasions to take new headshots for the whole team. He was friendly and very approachable. He didn't get up into your personal space and made the whole process relaxed and fun. I'd highly recommend him.
Mark Reidford Managing Director Innes Reid. August 2022
We wanted to refresh our team photos and bring our personality into our images. Jon did a great job of capturing our team in a new light. Making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and provided us with a wide range of photo options. Really pleased with our final photos and would highly recommend Jon if you're looking for professional photography

We had Jon come out to our studio gym to take some pictures and make a video for our social media accounts. Not only was he extremally knowledgeable and professional but also made us trainers and clients feel comfortable on camera, and provided tips on what exercises/positions would look great. Highly recommend, and will defiantly use again in the future.
Jessica Morris McKenzie Marketing Corner October 2021
Having my photo taken isn't the most comfortable experience, but Jon put me at ease and I actually ended up enjoying myself! He was really patient and helpful with my various outfit and back drop changes. I now have a great selection of images to use on my new website and socials. Thanks Jon, I'm made up with the result!

Big thanks to Jon for taking some lovely shots of myself and my colleagues in the workplace last week. Jon is a great guy to work with - lovely manner who puts people at ease. Reliable, professional and efficient - recommended
Stacey Griffiths September 2019
Jon has done three different shoots for me. Two for birthday presents & my portfolio done. On all three occasions Jon has been so patient and his knowledge shines through. The results of the photos are fantastic!! I will always go to Jon for any shoots and highly recommend Jon to capture your special moments

Where to start with describing the photography and video making of Jonathan Davies? The word unbelievable comes to mind. I’ve worked with Jon on various projects over the last two years and his work always takes my breath away. It doesn’t just capture moments, it makes moments. Under the most difficult of circumstances he manages to grab those perfect shots. And you don’t even realise he’s there. He blends into the background and records the story whatever the event. His work has heart, soul and what they used to call X-Factor before Simon Cowell reinvented the word. In the last month, Jonathan captured perfectly the work of a major American rock star and a Hollywood actress as they were over here for a huge charity concert. Both parties were blown away by his amazing work. He’s simply the best.

I had thought for a long time that a video would improve my website and Give Back Works microsite. As a result of my networking, I came to realise that Jon had the skills I had been looking for in helping me to get a professional and timely video.
Being videoed is not something that I relished, although having experience of standing in front of a group, I had never been videoed, so this was a completely new experience. What to say was the first hurdle to overcome! Wearing the right clothes and speaking in a way that could be understood by whoever viewed the video was another!
I need not have worried because Jon was able to allay my fears, even though I did feel nervous, I didn’t come over that way. His gentle, relaxing manner gave me the confidence to make an engaging video that could be used. I can thoroughly recommend Jon and his videoing, because the end product was much better than I had expected. In the future, I will definitely go back to him and update when necessaryLisa Nuttall
A few years ago Jonathan took some photos of my family for me in the picturesque village of Port Sunlight. When my son decided to get married in Torquay our first thought for a photographer was Jonathan. Jonathan met with the bride and groom on a couple of occasions and communicated comprehensively via email. He also did a lot of research into the area of Cockington before the big day. Jonathan arrived the day before the wedding and spent a couple of hours with the bride and her extended family, making sure he knew who was who and their role for the following day. 10 am on the day of the wedding, Jonathan arrived at the accommodation that the grooms family were staying in. Capturing the preparations and the build up to the wedding, making everyone feel at ease. He then left the boys to their pints and arrived at the brides house and again capturing all the preparations until the arrival of the wedding cars. He went on ahead to the ceremony where everything went smoothly, Jonathan captured every image the bride and groom had requested and more. He then followed on to the reception taking more and more photos well in to the evening. If your looking for a photographer who is willing to go above and beyond Jonathan is your man

Jon did some product photographs for my new business and did a fantastic job - and he is a great guy to work with too! I can highly recommend him.
Colin O'loughlin Hoole Roof & Restoration March 2016
I asked Johnathon to do a few photographs for me to help promote my business. He went above and beyond (quite literally) by climbing up on scaffolding to achieve what turned out to be "the perfect" photo to promote my business
ColinRick Farrell Blue Motion February 2
Jon has been the only photographer that I could find (and I looked everywhere!) that could take very professional photographs of my stock that I sell on line. Some of the items have a mirror finish so are almost impossible to get a clear shot without having an unwanted reflection of some sort in the background. Jon is the only chap for the job as the image is crystal clear and perfect every time. Really nice and genuine guy too. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a great photographer to give Jon a call
