About

Hey there! I'm Jim from Just Big Smiles, your friendly neighbourhood photographer. I’m all about capturing the joy in life and sharing a good laugh. If you enjoy some playful banter and want to have a great time, then we’re going to get along famously, and I’d be thrilled to document your special day!

My most popular option is the hourly rate package—perfect if you just need me for a few hours. I’ll take care of cropping and colour-correcting your photos, so you can expect to see your wedding images within two weeks! They’ll be available in an online gallery where you decide who gets access.

Your privacy is super important to me; that’s why I don’t post any of your wedding photos on social media (which is why my channels are pretty quiet). So if you're looking for someone who can bring fun vibes, will wear a goofy hat on sunny days to protect his shiny head, and is happy to be hired for just a few hours of photography—look no further!

We got married in St Andrew & St Peter Church Blofield in the years when I had hair, our wedding reception was at the Cliff Hotel, Gorleston and we had a Norwich Wedding Photographer all paid out of our own money.
To this day I remember how hard we had to save our pennies to pay for our day of dreams. We simply could not afford to have our wedding photographer stay into the evening.
Donna and I also remember how strange it was to have a guy who we didn’t really know spend one of the most important days of our lives documenting our wedding day because we didn’t really know him.

They say you learn from experience but you should only get married once (unless of course, you go to Vegas!) so it is for this reason Just Big Smiles includes a pre-wedding shoot so we can get to know one another better and we stay until the music finishes, so in later life you can remember all the friends who came to the evening party because we will be there to get a picture of them, unlike my wedding photographer.

I have been photographing landscapes, wildlife, family and friends for over 30 years. I was so excited when Jim asked me to help him out in the depths of North Norfolk as a second wedding photographer.
Jim and I have been friends for nearly 20 years and we really know what each other is thinking, we really do work as one.

Jimmy goes with the girls in the morning and I go with the boys, it is so funny when I knock on the door and the boys are still in their boxers shorts, eating their bacon sandwiches totally relaxed about the day. It’s great fun photographing the boys. I have been to so many pubs all over Norfolk photographing the boys, I should really be known as the Norfolk Wedding pub photographer.
