Johnny Blades Photography Takes Middlesbrough Expertise to the Mediterranean and Beyond
United Kingdom - January 20, 2026 / Johnny Blades Weddings /
Johnny Blades Photography, a wedding photography business based in Middlesbrough, has expanded its services to include international commercial photography work, marking a significant evolution for the North East England creative professional. The expansion positions Blades as a photographer serving both regional wedding couples and international commercial clients across Europe.
Johnny Blades, who established his reputation photographing weddings throughout North East England, North Yorkshire, and the Lake District, recently traveled to the South of France to capture luxury car and travel content for international clients. The July 2024 project represented the photographer's first major international assignment, documenting premium automotive and lifestyle imagery along the Mediterranean coast.
"Expanding internationally has been an incredible journey," said Johnny Blades, founder of Johnny Blades Photography. "While weddings in the North East will always be at the heart of what I do, having the opportunity to work with international clients and capture content in places like the South of France has really pushed my creative boundaries. It's shown me that the skills I've developed photographing North East weddings translate beautifully to luxury commercial work anywhere in the world."
The international expansion coincides with Blades's co-founding of Supply Juice Media, a full-service marketing agency based in Yarm that provides photography, videography, content creation, and social media management services to businesses across the United Kingdom and internationally. The agency has secured high-profile projects, including filming assignments inside the Houses of Parliament, demonstrating the breadth of Blades's evolving professional capabilities.
Blades continues to serve as personal photographer and videographer for select international clients, creating content for social media platforms and marketing campaigns. His commercial portfolio now encompasses automotive photography, luxury travel documentation, property development imagery, and lifestyle content creation alongside his established wedding photography services.
Despite the international expansion, Blades maintains his commitment to regional wedding photography. His business continues to serve couples throughout Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, North Yorkshire, and the Lake District, with packages ranging from classic full-day coverage to premium offerings that include drone photography and destination wedding services.
"I've photographed weddings from intimate barn celebrations in Yorkshire to grand castle affairs in Northumberland," Blades explained. "Those experiences taught me how to capture authentic moments under any conditions, which is exactly what commercial clients need when they're documenting their brands or experiences. The foundation built through wedding photography has been invaluable as I've expanded into international commercial work."
The expansion positions Johnny Blades Photography as one of the few North East-based photography businesses successfully operating in both regional wedding markets and international commercial sectors. Blades's ability to maintain quality across diverse photography disciplines reflects the technical expertise and adaptability that initially earned his wedding photography business its perfect 5.0-star rating from over 100 Google reviews.
Industry observers note that the international expansion demonstrates the viability of regional creative professionals competing in global markets while maintaining strong local client relationships. Blades's dual focus on preserving his wedding photography roots while embracing international commercial opportunities represents a strategic approach to business growth in the evolving photography industry.
