An old friendwith a camera.

Portrait of Jason Howard, wedding photographer in Chester

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer in Chester for over twenty years, and I still love it as much as the day I started.

My style and approach is very relaxed and unobtrusive. Although I'm a professional, I'd rather you feel that you're inviting an old friend to your wedding who just happens to have a really nice camera.

Every wedding I capture is unique. So for me, it's all about getting to know each other and going on the journey together — by the end of which you'll have stunning photographs that tell the story of your day forever.

I work mainly in Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, and I love to travel all over the UK and the occasional destination wedding abroad. There are a number of wedding photographers in Chester, but you'll know when you find the right one for you.

Many thanks, and hopefully we can chat soon — J

Founder — Echo Ridge Retreat

A legacyin the making.

Away from weddings, I'm a former Royal Marine building Echo Ridge Retreat — a peaceful countryside sanctuary for veterans, serving personnel and blue-light workers living with the effects of trauma or stress.

It's not about labels. It's about creating somewhere people can breathe, feel safe and begin to reconnect — through nature, photography, walking, creativity and shared experience.
