About Us
A Family Business With Love At Its Core
SJ Jones Photography is run by the Husband and Wife team, Steve and Heather Jones.
Steve is an award-winning full-time photographer based on the Isle of Wight, covering all areas of the UK and Europe.
From a young age, Steve has always been fascinated by photography and found that family holidays were spent looking through a lens. From the excitement of waiting to see his images once developed to the technical advantages of digital photography, his passion is as strong now as it was twenty years ago stood on a beach in Cornwall.
In October 2015, Steve decided to leave his job as a screen printer and take the chance of turning a passion into a business. He brings with him ten years of experience working closely with client briefs, extreme attention to detail, and accurate colour representation, and he puts this knowledge into every image he creates. In 2020, Steve also started a BA (Hons) Degree in Photography to further his knowledge and creativity and ensure he is constantly pushing forward.
Steve is also a member of the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce, the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, and the Society of International Commercial and Industrial Photographers. In 2018, he placed first in a prestigious national competition. His work was featured in The Times, The Guardian, and Daily Mail and was judged and critiqued by world-renowned explorer, photographer, and writer Levison Wood.
In late 2018, Steve also created a commission for the National Housing Federation for use at the National Housing Summit, which was to be used on the same stage as the Prime Minister and other key Westminster speakers. His commercial work can be seen daily in national advertising campaigns across multiple platforms.
​
Heather is the vital second half of the team, keeping everything organised in the background. Despite being a Mum to 6-year-old Delilah & 3-year-old William, working full time as a special needs primary school teacher and part of the leadership team, she is always busy behind the scenes booking new sessions, liaising with clients, designing wedding albums and when time allows assisting on shoots. Her wealth of experience with children of all ages, needs and backgrounds makes her a fantastic asset for family sessions.
Together, Heather and Steve are building a business that they are passionate about, truly proud of, and that is family-centered at its core.
Whether documenting your Wedding vows, a baby's first bath, a walk in the forest, or a trip to the park, these are the moments and memories that will be treasured for generations to come.
From elevating your business to covering events and products for national companies, Steve & Heather understand the importance it has for you and your family and will always go that extra mile to help you succeed.
