Everything we could've asked for!

James is an incredibly talented photographer, but also just a genuinely fun, friendly, and all round wonderful person. My husband and I are both quite camera shy, never had much confidence being photographed but James made us feel so comfortable and he fit right in with our day, but (and I mean this in the most positive way possible) sometimes we didn't even realise he was there, just snapping away and not distracting from crucial moments or ordering people around. He has such an incredible eye for detail and some of our wedding photos are just absolutely stunning and surpassed every expectation I ever had! We had so many laughs, so much helpful guidance when it came to posing and every single guest had nothing but compliments for James, especially my close family.
The process leading up to the wedding was fab, James and Emily made sure they had all the details they needed to keep the day running as smooth as possible and were super flexible when we wanted to change to a package with more coverage quite close to our wedding date. The after-wedding process was smooth too, with our photos back to us in a short time, and excitement built from seeing little teasers shared on social media. I would absolutely recommend Day and Knight Photography to anyone and everyone for their wedding!

All round perfection

We couldn’t have wished for any one better to photograph us. On top of this, the most amazing videographer. One member of the party in particular is usually very anxious in front of a camera, but James has a fantastic way about him and makes you feel so comfortable and natural. We couldn’t be happier.

Go with James and Emily!! End of!!

Go with James and Emily, 100%. Enough said! They were brilliant and I could not sing their praises enough. From the very first call we knew we had the right people. James and Emily were a dream to work with.... super responsive, fun whilst professional, super talented and skilled at what they do. We absolutely love the feel, look and quality of our photos and video and can't wait to see our finished album too.

Professional, fun and responsive!

We got married back in May 2023 and wanted to capture our day with a style we loved!! James’s photography was exactly what we were looking for and we weren’t disappointed. He was amazing on the day, made everyone in front of the camera instantly comfortable and even blended in with our guests! We are more than pleased with our results and look forward to putting them on our walls for everyone else to see!
(I’ve listed just SOME of our favourites!)

Thankyou James, and of course Emily too!

Amazing Photographer!

Both my husband and I can’t recommend James enough! Our wedding photos are simply stunning and are everything we had wished for. Our wedding mini movie is so lovely and it captured all the emotions from the day perfectly. It was so so nice to watch it and I’m so glad we booked it!
From the moment James arrived, he was friendly and professional. He made everyone feel at ease! James had so many compliments from our guests saying how nice he was.

Thank you James for all your hard work and beautiful photos. We are truly grateful.

Friendly & Flexible

James and Emily integrated into the whole wedding so well- this meant they were able to get such natural shots and clips for our final album and video.
We can’t stop looking at the photos and watching the film as it captured the fun and the magic of the day.
A fusion wedding has so much going on and James captured each element perfectly,
We felt at ease during the couple shots and can’t wait to get the photos on the wall!
Thanks so much James and Emily!
We would definitely recommend.

Talented Photographer

The quality of our photos are excellent, it’s not just the style of the picture where we stand etc but the quality of the editing after the photos look epic

Amazing from start to finish

We were unfortunate enough to be those lucky bunch of wed to be’s that had to postpone due to Covid, we had 4 dates, James and Emily were great in responding to us with their availability, thankfully they were free all of the extra dates! James made our day so much more relaxed with his bubbly personality and we had so many compliments on how professional he was but gave off such a great vibe, even our videographer said he would love to work with him in the future!
Thank you so much for sharing our special day with us and helping our day run so smoothly!

Amazing in every way

James is a dream to be around. He is helpful, flexible and funny. He helped us to relax during our photos and we felt like we’d known him for ages. Emily was so great too. She was supportive and helpful with information and together they provided such a relaxed approach, which is just what we wanted.
Thank you both for all your hard work!
