Candid photography at it's finest!

We had a wonderful experience with James as our photographer - we wanted someone to capture the special moments in the background and not put too much pressure on us to find the perfect shot. James did this flawlessly. He travelled from Ramsgate to Buckinghamshire for our wedding day and was very reasonably priced for his high level of skill. Thank you, James!

Beautiful photos and such a nice person!

James was our wedding photographer in April this year and we could not have asked for a better photographer or a nicer person.

Firstly we love our photos, they show the day exactly how it felt to us, all the moments and all the feeling.

Secondly James is such a nice person, he was fantastic with the kids and took such beautiful photos of them playing and messing around.

Lastly James actually saved the day! Our wedding car broke down traveling to the venue. James drove back from the venue to pick me and my dad up.

I cant recommend him enough.

Spectacular

James is a wonderful photographer, his photos are beautiful. During the wedding he worked very quietly and we hardly noticed he was there, but he must have been as we have such an breathtaking set of photos.

I will be booking again for a baptism for our son.

Beautiful Photos

Thank you James we love our photos! My wife is super happy.

Half the time we didn't even notice you were there as you work so quietly. We loved that about you.

You captured so many beautiful moments, so many full of the real emotion of the day, we absolutely love these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

Thank you.

Excellent photographer

Excellent photos. James takes the photos and it didn’t seem like he was there taking them when getting ready. James captured the day beautifully and took many different photos. Ones we wanted with certain guests. And then others when the guests weren’t payinf attention.

Highly recommend booking

The perfect photos

James took our wedding photos a couple of weeks ago and they are perfect. He was such a professional, he worked quietly and discreetly, we really did not notice he was there most of the time.
We are so happy with our photos, so many moments that we had forgotten came rushing back top us as we relived our wedding day through our photos.

Thank you James.

Amazing photos and super helpful

James photographed our wedding day exactly how we wanted it. We are not fans of having our photo taken so we wanted mainly documentary style wedding photography with minimal posing. James was fantastic at this. There were a few of the classic posed family photos we wanted to have, mainly for our parents to have and James made this a relaxing and fun process.

James was so positive and helpful throughout our day. We are so happy we chose him.

My name is James Soules, welcome to my page on Wedding Wire.

I thought it best to explain a little of how I work:

I try to remain as invisible as possible throughout your wedding day, your day is about you, the bride and groom, not about the photographer making a show and stopping the occasion to take photos. Obviously it's impossible to be invisible at all times but I always work in a very conscious, discrete and quiet way.

At the ceremony I do not use flash as it draws attention to me and away from you, the bride and groom. Instead I use the natural light in the room, trying to work with the light rather than against it.

During the reception I mix into the crowd with your guests allowing me shoot from the inside of the action rather than from the side lines with a long lens like a member of the paparazzi. This allows me to create images that are from the guests point of view, capturing moments that you may not have otherwise seen.
