    Beautiful photos!

    James photographed our wedding on 23.10.24 and the photos are perfect! We picked James as our photographer due to the documentary style and his editing style and the photos did not disappoint. He was so helpful and professional on the day making everyone feel comfortable on the day and getting the best pictures.

    Superstar!

    I can't even explain what a superstar James is. It was like having my own assistant for the day. Out of sight enough to not be intrusive but there making sure I had a drink and even to speak to someone about the heating for me. Broke up the couple photos throughout the day so it wasn't one long stint. Commanded 90 people in an authoritative yet friendly and fun way. Directing poses in an encouraging way so no one felt silly. Whole booking service seemless and very responsive with any questions. Would 100% recommend!

    Amazing wedding videography

    We couldn’t recommend James enough! We really felt comfortable and at ease which was really important for us, and most of the time we didn’t even know he was there, it was very discreet and natural!
    We received our videos back really quickly and we absolutely love them, he captured our day perfectly and we are so happy we can re-live the day over and over!

    The Most Incredible Photographer

    We had the pleasure of having James come and see capture our wedding day on 11/06/2024. Our photos came back quickly and they were absolutely incredible, even more so that we ever imagined. James was very professional yet extremely welcoming and friendly. All our guests have commented how nice he was and how a lot of the time they didn’t know he was there (in a very good way) we felt very relaxed when taking our posed photos and felt at ease with James when we had our couple shots. Thank you so much James, you really captured the fun and the love of our special day x

    Incredibly impressive final production and quality of service from start to end

    From the very beginning James delivered a highly professional service that made sure every detail counted.

    Sarah and I have watched all the videos several times and we are completely over the moon and we felt like we just relived the entire day.

    Absolutely superb editing and direction, James crafted something incredibly special for us. We can’t thank him enough.

    Wonderful day with a great photographer

    James was the photographer at our wedding in May 2024. From the beginning of the day and throughout he was relaxed and helpful, and even when the inevitable wedding day dramas happened, he provided a calming presence. A lot of the time I didn't particularly know where he was, he seemed to blend seamlessly in with our guests, which resulted in some amazing pictures. It felt like there was so much I missed on the day, and having the photos to look back on has been wonderful. We are not a couple that enjoys too many posed pictures, but James made it easy and enjoyable, and got a great balance between the posed pictures and the candid shots. The turn around for the final images was impressively quick. I would definitely recommend James to anyone needing a photographer. Thank you again James, we're so pleased we could have you there with us!

    The best wedding photographer!

    James, we can’t begin to thank you enough for capturing our wedding day. From the minute I came across James’s website I knew he was going to be the perfect photographer for us. During our wedding James went above and beyond what we could have ever expected and hoped for. James was so professional, kind, patient when we were running behind schedule and helped coordinate all our pictures. James even brought us sparklers and a bottle of bubbly for us to use in our photos. After less than a week our photos were ready and they are absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The drone shots captured, the candid moments, absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend James. Thank you so much for everything
