Capturing the Essence of Your Love Story with Timeless, Authentic Photography

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and unforgettable moments - and my mission is to capture it all. I’m James, a passionate and professional wedding photographer known for blending seamlessly into your day, capturing genuine, candid moments, and making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Whether it’s the tears during the vows, the joy of your first dance, or the quiet moments in between, I create photographs that are more than just images - they’re memories brought to life.

What Makes Me Different?

Couples often describe my work as more than just photography: it’s storytelling. My calm, friendly approach ensures that even the most camera-shy couples feel relaxed and confident, resulting in natural, heartfelt images. With a fast turnaround of “hero shots” within hours, you can relive those special moments almost instantly, and my attention to detail ensures nothing is overlooked. I also take pride in giving couples a unique edit to their photos, meaning that no two weddings look the same. So if you don't like the "dark and moody", or the "light and airy" look, do not worry I will tailor your photos to tell the story of your wedding day that is fully personable.

How I Work with Couples?

From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, I prioritise communication and preparation. My engagement/pre-wedding shoots are a fantastic way for us to connect, making the wedding day feel effortless and fun. I’m also highly flexible - whether it’s adjusting to a sudden rainstorm or staying late to capture an impromptu dance, I’m there for every moment.

  • Full-Day Coverage: 12 hours capturing everything from morning preparations to the evening celebrations (£1600).
  • Tailored Packages: Choose from 6, 8, or 12-hour packages to suit your day perfectly. Additional hours available at £150 per hour.
  • Engagement/Pre-Wedding Shoots: A relaxed, fun way to celebrate your love and get comfortable in front of the camera (£250).
  • High-Resolution Images: Delivered in a beautiful online gallery and for full-day packages, a personalised USB with up to 20 prints.

Special Packages:

  • Vibes Package (£2000): Includes a photographer and content creator for dynamic, social-media-ready moments.
  • Dynamic Duo Package (£3000): A photographer + videographer for seamless photo and video coverage.

A Sweet Memory

One of my favourite moments? Hiking down a cliffside with a couple to capture a breathtaking coastal shot. Their laughter and trust made the adventure unforgettable, and the photos? Pure magic. Whether it’s an intimate family wedding or a grand celebration, I’ll go above and beyond to capture your love story exactly as it unfolds.

Let’s create memories together that will be cherished for a lifetime. Get in touch, and let’s chat about your perfect day!

We were thrilled to have James as our photographer ....

We were thrilled to have James as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. From the very beginning, James was more than just a photographer; he was a guide and a source of invaluable advice. His tips, advice and reminders from our engagement shoot all the way to the big day were so helpful.

On our wedding day, we faced EVERY type of weather imaginable, from bright sunshine to, clouds, sudden storms and rain. James was incredibly prepared, navigated these challenges with incredible professionalism and creativity, ensuring that each moment was captured beautifully despite the unpredictable conditions.

What truly sets James apart is his ability to adapt his style to perfectly match the venue and the overall feel of our wedding day. His understanding of light and attention to detail resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever.

Beyond his technical skills, James is a lovely and calming presence to have around on such an important day. Our family and friends enjoyed his company, and he made everyone feel at ease. We feel incredibly lucky to have had James there to capture our special day, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Can’t recommend enough!

James is an incredible photographer, we are so glad that we chose to go with him. From start to finish, James made us feel so at ease. We’ve never had any kind of professional photos before, so both thought we’d struggle with confidence, but James was more like a friend, and I felt completely relaxed. The pictures he took were incredible, creative and just perfect. 10/10!

Amazing wedding photographer

James is an amazing photographer who puts even the most camera shy couples (like us) at ease and enjoy the whole process. He's very resourceful, shares a ton of information in the run up to the wedding to best prepare for excellent photos. He goes above and beyond in making the day seamless - from making your bouquet look fresh to giving clear instructions to guests for getting the perfect group shot. With a very fast turn around of 'Hero Shots' in under 12 hours from the wedding day, I could share memories almost instantly with loved ones. Can't recommend James highly enough. Thank you for capturing our special day and being a part of it.

100% would recommend!

James is an amazing wedding photographer and a key vendor for us to have secured for our big day.

Communication leading up to the event was great, and then on the day James was friendly and perfectly balanced the unobtrusive photographer getting those candid shots with the commanding photographer rallying the guests when needed! Most importantly James is such a good guy, conscientious in his approach and takes pride in his work.

Our "sneak peek" photos are incredible and we're so excited to see the rest, which I know will be prompt and to such a high standard!

Would 100% recommend booking James for your wedding or event - you won't regret it!

Dan & Jess wedding ‘24

We first contacted James back in the summer of 2023 whilst in the thick of wedding planning. In what was a pretty stressful time, we were instantly relieved to have found a photographer that not only understood what we were looking for but also made us feel comfortable and relaxed (we’re not the ‘smile for the camera’ type)!
James continued to stay in contact throughout the lead up to our big day with video calls, emails and through WhatsApp. The video calls really helped us to get to know how James worked and James to get to know us as a couple.
On the day itself, James arrived at the venue early, scoping out good areas for photos and capturing some incredible moments of the girls getting ready in the bridal suite.
Throughout the entire day (it was a long one), James was amazing. He somehow managed to put everyone at ease and, after a few formal photos, we hardly noticed having our pictures taken. He also fit in like he was one of the family, laughing with the guests, joking with our kids and giving us some encouragement when it was time for couples photos. He even stayed later than planned to capture the father-daughter dance.
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for more. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect photographer for our day!
Thankyou James for capturing so many beautiful memories for our family. They will be forever cherished.

Just perfect! 📸

We contacted James to do the photography for our wedding day and right from the first time we had contact it was clear that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. James is a professional and it's clear that it's also his passion as he carries out his job methodically. We were so lucky to have found him.

We wanted someone who would capture the soul of our wedding and he did exactly that. Nothing overly posed, the day was relaxed and fun, which he captured perfectly. It was a day full of family, friends, so much laughter, tons of love, plenty of dancing and James was there for all of it. The lighting, framing, character and life of each photo was what I had been dreaming of. The sort of photos that are timeless and our family and friends will look back on and suddenly be transported back to the day.

We can't recommend James enough – he is not just a photographer but a true artist and a fantastic person to have on your special day.

Thanks again Ruth and Carmelo

Fun relaxing and stress free

James was amazing! Totally understood our unique wedding and the little time we had. We were awful at knowing what pics we wanted and James made it so easy to get the perfect ones and directed us. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, as well as our family and friends.
The pre wedding video calls were a big help as I felt like I knew James before we met him and I wasn't nervous on the day(about that anyway)
Also loved that I received some photos before 24hours later, made my airport experience a lot better 😂
100% recommend.

We would highly recommend James 5*

James was the most amazing photographer at our wedding. In the days leading up he messaged us a few times to reassure us about the weather as there was a named storm due on the day. He showed us amazing photos he had taken of other couples in the rain. He was calm throughout the day but managed to get the guests in place to take photos at the right time to avoid the rain. The photos are beautiful and he really listened to what we asked for. I would highly recommend him.

WOW! What can we say about James….

WOW! What can we say about James….
He went above and beyond to capture our day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined.
He fitted in seamlessly, and a lot of the time we didn’t even know he was there.
His eye for detail is absolutely incredible and just from the ‘hero shots’ he has sent us so far we can see how talented he is. As soon as we woke up from our big day they were already sat waiting in our inbox for us to look through… which was such a great touch!
James is extremely friendly and all our guests complimented his lovely and warm manner.
His passion for photography is clear and I would absolutely encourage you to book him as your photographer.

James was absolutely fantastic!

We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a professional photographer. We had a small family wedding and wanted to ensure that the day was beautifully captured through photographs. We are so pleased with our choice of James. He was well-prepared, organized, and a great person to have on our special day. He was friendly and chatty with the guests, but he also seamlessly blended into the surroundings when needed. James has a keen eye for capturing couples and the essence of a wedding day. The photos we received are simply wonderful.

If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, James is the one to look for. You won’t regret hiring him.

Wonderfully captured our day

James captured our wedding day so perfectly and we are over the moon with the photos and service we received from him throughout the whole process. From our engagement shoot, to discussing the big day, to the wedding day itself, James filled us with full confidence and delivered amazing results. He's been friendly and professional whilst making us feel at ease in front of the camera. He captured both the small details and big moments and we are thrilled to have so many beautiful photos to cherish from our day. We can't recommend him enough and so glad we chose James to be our wedding photographer- massive thanks!
