About Us

My name is James Matthews. I'm an unobtrusive and colourful Wedding Photographer based in Caerphilly, South Wales, with over 30 years of Photography experience.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer specialising in capturing natural moments, you've found the right place!

While I understand that you may still want some portraits or group shots, and that's not a problem, I excel in capturing the essence of your wedding through a documentary style. This allows you to fully enjoy your special day without needing posed pictures. Most of my shots happen incredibly fast and in available light, capturing the vibrant, genuine, and captivating moments that will transport you back to your wedding day.

So happy with eyes2me-wedding photographer

So we had our pictures off jim only 2 weeks after the wedding and there are 848 beautifully edited photographs ( we had a preview to post a thank you only 2 days after.

I am so in love with them and I never like photographs with me in them. I keep tearing up!!!! amazing!!! Can’t recommend enough-there are no words for the memories that have been captured for us - all without having to stand and smile for hours!! So many people from our wedding said how comfortable they were with having jim around. I normally hate photographs of me but I can honestly say I love them!

As a bride I always liked to read the reviews of venders before booking and I, as a recent bride can tell you 100% you won’t regret the decision to book Jim and eyes2me as your photographer, this is the best thing I chose, someone told me before I got married “flowers die but memories last a lifetime”. Memories were captured beautifully.

Incredible!

There are no words to fully describe the experience of having Jim take your photos, he made my kids laugh and have fun whilst we were all getting into our dresses, he fitted in as if he had been invited as a guest to join our day. He was relaxed, composed, went with the flow of the day and the photos speak for themselves.
We were delighted to have you and will recommend you for a long time 😊

We can't thank Jim enough for his hard work in capturing our day perfectly. Amazing photographs that we will treasure forever. Jim is a very sincere and warm character that any couple would enjoy having present at their wedding.

Lee and I would like to thank Jim for his time and work, providing us with fantastic photographs of our wedding. Jim captured every moment as it happened. We didn't want formal photographs and Jim got all the funny and informal moments and emotions that can be lost or forgotten. Jim is so friendly and all our friends and family have said how good he was. We have a beautiful heart shaped USB that is so unusual and we can print our pictures when we are ready. Eyes2me tailored the price and package to us and we are so grateful. We can highly recommend Jim, he was fantastic and so are our photos.

Me and my partner would love to thank Jim and Kimberley for doing our photos for our wedding day. Brilliant people who did a fantastic job on our day, and made us feel really comfortable. I recommend anyone to have Eyes2me photography for their wedding. Good price and great photos which all our family and friends love. And we received them so quickly after. They were also a great help with everything before the wedding and after.
Jim was also a great help for making me feel more confident with having my picture taken with a practice trial, which helped so much before the day.
Thanks you so much xx

Jim and his Wife were fantastic at our wedding, totally professional but also totally unobtrusive, we did not even know they were there. The photos were stunning and absolutely captured our fantastic day. The after service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Eyes2Me to anybody who wants to capture those special formal and informal moments.

We would both like to thank Jim and his wife Kim for all their hard work on our wedding day. Although they were there for the whole day and the evening party we barely noticed them. When we picked up the wedding photos we were extremely happy with all of them, they have managed to capture our big day perfectly. We love every single photo and were so impressed with the extra little touches that made the whole experience something really special. We wanted natural photos rather than structured ones and this was done perfectly. We would definitely recommend them to all our friends and family not only were the quality of the photos and the experience perfect but also the price!!
