The BEST man for the job!!!

James is absolutely fantastic and Josh and I are both so so happy that we booked him for our wedding. Throughout the whole process James has been amazing. We booked him around 9 months before, and he was on hand throughout to answer any and every question we had. On the day James was punctual and went above and beyond - even staying later than agreed to make sure all aspects of our wedding were captured. Within two days of us getting married he sent us over a few sneak peak pictures and which look incredible!!! We can’t wait to see the final results. I will be recommending James to everyone!

Captured our special moments!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with James and SJ for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish they were completely professional and friendly, making us feel at ease and ensuring that every special moment was captured. The photos and the wedding video are stunning and feel so genuine.

We would 100% recommend to anyone looking for exceptional photography and videography services.

Thank you both for your incredible work and capturing our special moment.

Perfect experience!

Totally satisfied! We hired James for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! He was first of all very friendly and made us at ease immediately, I undestood I could trust him for a good experience right away! During the ceremony and party he took a lot of different shots of the most crucial moments so we can really see the story of the day coming through the photos. He is very creative as well so we had a lot of fun taking the shots and we ended up with many personalised, special pictures. I was happy that when we requested a specific background or pose he was more than happy to take the pictures as we liked them. Our expectations were satisfied as the photos look just amazing, the quality and colours are superb, the majority of them have a very natural feeling as we wanted. I can only highly recommend James for weddings, but I believe he would know to capture good memories in any sort of event!

Captured our Special Day Perfectly

James was nothing short of spectacular on our special day. From his professionalism to his artistic eye for capturing the most touching moments, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. The photos are not just beautiful, but each tells a vivid story, full of emotion and heart. He managed to encapsulate the joy, the love, and even the little candid moments that make a wedding day special. The quality of work and the timely delivery of our stunning album exceeded all expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend James for anyone looking to beautifully preserve the most precious memories from their big day.

Simply the best

James was the most incredible photographer at our wedding. He is just the most lovely person and his communication before, during and after the event was excellent. His photos are breathtaking and we just couldn’t be happier. Above all else you could tell James really cared about what he does and he really cared about us as a couple. Thanks so much James, you’re the best xx

Outstanding Service

James was absolutely fantastic. We were quite nervous, but he made us feel at ease, and we ended up spending most of the engagement photoshoot laughing! I like that he gave us some guidance but not so much that we felt like robots! Thanks so much, James!

Absolutely amazing!

We met James at a wedding fair, and we are so glad we did because when our original photographer backed out 10 days before the wedding, we were able to hire James! Such a great experience, he's very professional, very responsive and the photos are so beautiful! The candids are very natural and really show how much fun everyone had. The photos were returned so quickly too! I can't stop looking at them. I would definitely recommend James to anyone getting married in the London area.

Amazing photographer

James at Eyes Closed Head First, is an amazing photographer who truly captured our wedding day perfectly. He mingled and snapped away all day, putting my husband and I and our guests at ease. Both of us are nervous in front of a camera, but James was wonderful, he made us feel so relaxed and any worries we had were superseded by pure joy. We couldn't recommend James enough, he is simply the best.

Thank you James!

James was amazing, we got our photos back very quickly and we love them! I am very awkward and being photographed by someone I didn’t know felt quite daunting however James makes you feel instantly at ease. All my family commented on how lovely James was and he’s very talented at what he does. James is exactly the type of person you want photographing your wedding, thank you James!

Would recommend to everyone and anyone! Amazing experience start to finish!

It was a great experience working with James, it was all very natural, relaxed, a great time all in all, fun and with wonderful photos to keep as lasting memories. Me and my partner are very shy and introverted but james made us feel so comfortable throughout each moment! The photos came out amazingly, i have never liked photos of myself and these are now everywhere in the house and I just love showing them to friends and family! Amazing experience start to finish, I don't plan to get married again but if I did I'd already have him in mind for the photography! Thank you for the great work!
