Professional photography and video services by Ed Jaydon
I run CoreGrid Media as a sole trader, providing professional photography and video production services to clients across the United Kingdom and United States.
Based in Stoke-on-Trent, I work with individuals, businesses, and brands who need high-quality visual content. My services include wedding photography, product photography for eCommerce, corporate photography, video production, and professional photo and video editing.
I believe in delivering work that meets your needs while maintaining clear communication throughout the entire process. Every project I take on receives my full attention, from the initial consultation through to final delivery. Whether you need photos for your wedding day, product images for your online store, or video content for social media marketing, I approach each project with the same level of care and professionalism.
What started as an interest in visual storytelling has developed into a business that serves clients locally in the UK and internationally in the USA. I use professional-grade equipment including cameras, lenses, lighting setups, and industry-standard editing software to ensure your final content looks polished and professional.
I provide comprehensive wedding photography services covering ceremonies, receptions, and candid moments throughout your special day. My wedding photography packages include full-day coverage, professional editing of all images, color correction, and delivery of high-resolution photos in digital format. I work closely with couples during pre-wedding consultations to understand their vision and preferences, ensuring the final photos reflect the authentic emotions and memorable moments of their wedding day.
My approach to wedding photography focuses on capturing natural moments while also accommodating traditional posed shots. I arrive early to photograph venue details, work efficiently during the ceremony, and stay through the reception to document all key moments including speeches, first dances, and celebrations with family and friends.
My product photography services are designed specifically for online businesses, including Shopify stores, Amazon sellers, eBay merchants, and independent eCommerce websites. I photograph products using professional lighting setups and clean backgrounds to create images that help your products stand out online and drive conversions.
Services include white background product shots, lifestyle photography showing products in use, flat-lay compositions, multiple angle shots, and detailed close-ups highlighting product features. All product images are professionally edited with color correction, background removal when needed, and formatting optimized for web use. I understand the importance of consistent, high-quality product imagery for online sales and work to deliver photos that accurately represent your products while making them attractive to potential buyers.
I provide corporate photography services for businesses needing professional headshots, team photos, office environment photography, and corporate event coverage. Professional business photography helps companies present a polished image across their website, LinkedIn profiles, marketing materials, and corporate communications.
My corporate photography services include individual headshots with consistent lighting and backgrounds, group team photos, office environment shots showcasing your workplace, and documentation of corporate events, conferences, and meetings. I work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations while ensuring every team member looks professional and approachable in their photos.
UGC-style video content has become essential for social media marketing and paid advertising campaigns. I create authentic, user-generated style videos that connect with audiences on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and YouTube. These videos are designed to look natural and relatable rather than overly produced, making them ideal for social media advertising.
My UGC video services include concept development, scripting assistance, multiple takes and variations, professional video shooting with appropriate lighting and audio, and optimization for different social media platforms. I deliver videos in various formats and lengths suitable for different platforms, with quick turnaround times to meet your marketing campaign deadlines.
If you already have photos that need professional editing, I provide comprehensive photo editing and retouching services. This includes color correction to fix lighting issues and ensure accurate colors, exposure adjustments, white balance correction, skin retouching and blemish removal for portraits, background editing and removal, cropping and straightening, and batch processing for large quantities of images requiring consistent editing.
I use industry-standard editing software including Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to ensure professional results. Whether you have wedding photos, product images, corporate headshots, or any other photos needing enhancement, I can help improve them to meet professional standards. Turnaround times typically range from 5-10 business days depending on the quantity and complexity of edits required.
My video editing services transform raw footage into polished, professional videos. I work with footage from various sources including professional cameras, smartphones, and screen recordings to create finished videos for marketing, social media, corporate communications, or personal use.
Video editing services include footage organization and selection, professional sequencing and pacing, color correction and color grading, audio editing and mixing, background music integration, text overlays and titles, transitions and effects when appropriate, and export in multiple formats and resolutions. I can edit corporate videos, promotional content, social media videos, event videos, and personal projects. The typical turnaround for video editing is 2-4 weeks depending on the length and complexity of the project.
The process begins when you reach out through my contact page, email, or phone. During our initial conversation, I'll ask questions to understand exactly what you need - whether that's wedding photography, product photos, video production, or editing services. I'll inquire about your timeline, budget, specific requirements, and any particular vision you have for the project.
Based on this information, I'll provide you with a detailed quote outlining the services included, pricing, expected timeline, and deliverables. This quote is completely free and comes with no obligation. If you have questions or need adjustments, we can discuss options to find a solution that works for your needs and budget.
Once you decide to move forward, we'll schedule a more detailed planning discussion. For photography shoots, this includes discussing locations, timing, lighting considerations, shot lists, and any specific photos you want to ensure we capture. For product photography, we'll discuss product details, branding guidelines, and the style of images you're looking for.
For video projects, we'll discuss the concept, messaging, locations, any people who need to be on camera, and the overall style you want to achieve. For editing-only projects, you'll send me your files and we'll discuss the editing style, color preferences, and final output requirements. I'll confirm all equipment needs, prepare shot lists, and ensure everything is ready before the shoot or editing begins.
On shoot day, I arrive on time with all necessary equipment ready to work. For weddings, I typically arrive before the ceremony begins to capture preparation shots and venue details. For product shoots, I set up professional lighting and backdrops in either your location or my setup area. For corporate photography, I work efficiently to photograph team members with minimal disruption to your business.
During the shoot, I work professionally and efficiently while ensuring we capture everything discussed during planning. I take multiple shots from different angles and lighting setups to ensure you have options to choose from. For video production, I capture multiple takes and variations to provide flexibility during editing. Throughout the process, I maintain open communication and welcome your input and feedback.
After the shoot or once I receive your files for editing, the post-production process begins. For photography, this includes selecting the best images, color correction, exposure adjustments, and retouching where needed. For video projects, I organize footage, select the best takes, edit the sequence, color grade, mix audio, and add any graphics or text overlays discussed during planning.
I use professional editing software including Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects to ensure high-quality results. The editing process typically takes 1-4 weeks depending on the project type and complexity. Throughout this phase, I maintain my focus on delivering work that meets the standards we discussed and aligns with your vision for the project.
Once editing is complete, I'll send you the edited content for review. Most projects include one or two rounds of revisions where you can request adjustments to colors, cropping, or other editing aspects. I take your feedback seriously and make the requested changes to ensure you're completely satisfied with the final product.
Final files are delivered digitally through cloud storage, file transfer services, or other methods we agree upon. You'll receive high-resolution files suitable for print and web use, organized and clearly labeled. For commercial projects, we'll discuss usage rights and licensing. After delivery, I'm available to answer any questions about the files or assist with any issues that might arise.
When you work with CoreGrid Media, you communicate directly with me throughout the entire project. There are no account managers, sales representatives, or middlemen between us. This direct communication ensures your vision and requirements are clearly understood, questions get answered quickly, and the final work truly reflects what you want. You'll have my contact information and can reach out anytime with questions, concerns, or updates to the project.
I invest in professional-grade photography and video equipment to ensure high-quality results. This includes professional camera bodies, a range of lenses for different situations, professional lighting equipment, stabilizers and tripods, audio recording equipment for video work, and industry-standard editing software. Using professional equipment means better image quality, more flexibility in challenging lighting situations, and final content that meets professional standards suitable for commercial use, printing, and digital display.
As a sole trader, I can offer flexibility that larger companies often cannot. I can accommodate specific scheduling needs, adjust my approach based on your preferences, tailor packages to fit your budget, and adapt to last-minute changes when possible. Each project receives personalized attention rather than being processed through a standardized system. This flexibility extends to communication preferences, delivery formats, revision requests, and payment structures.
Operating as a sole trader allows me to keep overhead costs lower than larger studios while still maintaining professional quality equipment and work standards. This means I can offer competitive pricing that provides good value for professional photography and video services. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and I'm happy to discuss options to work within different budget ranges while maintaining quality standards.

This allows businesses and individuals worldwide to access professional editing and post-production services regardless of their location. Files can be transferred securely online, and we can communicate via email, phone, or video calls to discuss projects and review work.
I understand that timing matters for your projects. Whether you have a wedding coming up, product photos needed for a launch, or video content required for a marketing campaign, I provide clear timelines and work to meet deadlines reliably. Typical turnaround times are communicated upfront, and I keep you updated on progress throughout the editing process. If you have a rush project, I can often accommodate faster timelines for an additional fee.
