About
On Hitched.co.uk since 2023
Last update: September 2025
Multi award winning James Ball Photography has a skill for capturing authentic moments, with a more relaxed, candid style that reflects the essence of your special day, sprinkled with some editorial creativity. James will guide you when needed to get the best shots, but will won't drag you from pillar to post!
The goal is to create natural, timeless albums that each tell your unique story, with a bit more of a documentary, 'fly on the wall' approach... All whilst also ensuring everyone feels at ease in front of the camera, from all of the intimate moments to the group shots.
It's your wedding day with a photographer present, rather than a photoshoot with a wedding!
Just a few of the reasons why couples choose James Ball Photography:
Personal service
This is the advantage of dealing with a one man and/or a one women band! You'll only be dealing with just me and/or Hannah, from start-finish depending on your package, so you'll feel completely comfortable around us by time your big day comes. Some companies will sub-contract a photographer, so you don't know who you're getting until the day.
Award Winning
In 2025 alone, we've been awarded as a Winner on Hitched, a Platinum Winner on Bridebook and Best Photography and Social Media Content Company in the LuxLife Global Wedding Awards, more to be annouced soon 👀
Reviews
We have 5 star reviews all across Google, Facebook, Hitched and Bridebook. It's often said our couples and their guests felt we were another guest by the end of the special day, which for us is the best compliment.
Contract
This protects yourselves as much as us. We believe in full transparency and supply a copy of this in our information pack, which you can request below.
Quick turnaround
If opting for the joint or video content creator packages, you'll have videos sent to you with 24hrs! Your photography sneak peeks will be received within 48 hours and full story within approx. 8 weeks.
Natural
The editing style we use means your photos will be a true reflection of your day, whether they're viewed this year or looked back on in 50+ years
Payment in installments
After recently getting married ourselves, we realised how overwhelming it can be having all your payments due to suppliers at the same time.
-
We'll take as many photographs of you as a couple or with your families as you require, and since we love getting creative, we also encourage you to spend less time posing and more time on the dance floor.
Your wedding day could be the only day you'll have all your friends and family in the same place - we understand the importance of this and make the most of it!
I (James) often work alongside my wife, Hannah. She is a wedding video content creator providing an unlimited amount of video coverage to you newlyweds, just one night after the wedding! We offer joint packages or, we can be hired solo.

Reviews for James Ball Photography
The quality of their work is top tier and they really go above and beyond in every sense.
SO glad we chose James to photograph our special day!
When we first got in contact with James he was professional, very friendly and very organised which continued throughout the lead up to our wedding day and on the day itself.
As soon as James turned up on the morning of our wedding, it felt like he was a friend. He made every single one of our guests comfortable and made them feel at ease. Throughout the day our guests were commenting on what a lovely person James is.
During the whole day, James took every opportunity to capture unique and fun photos. For our bridesmaids and groomsmen’s shots, he even stopped the traffic in Regents Street to get some fun shots.
The photos we’ve already received are amazing and we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to sitting down and looking at the whole album.
James is incredibly talented and we are so glad that we chose him for our special day!
Wow wow wow what an amazing experience
Hannah and James made everything so easy and relaxed from start to finish.
They made sure we got every shot we wanted (especially the confetti one!), and even with the tricky weather, they timed everything perfectly. Big shoutout to James for the very effective rain dance! 😄
The highlight video the next day was such a treat—it was so special to relive the magic right away. Then just two days later, we got our sneak peek photos, and they were absolutely stunning. Every moment was captured beautifully.
Couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you both so, so much! 💛
Throughout the day, it felt like James was just one of the guests.
On our day they were so lovely to have around, felt more like friends.
We couldn’t be happier with our photos and videos from James and Hannah!
It rained on our wedding day and I was desperate to get some outdoor photos. James strongly encouraged us to get photos in the small dry patch that presented itself and I’m so pleased we did!
Our dog was part of our wedding and subsequent photos. They were amazing with him and understood how much of an important part of the day he was.
It’s lovely to have a video captured of our special day to look back on plus our gorgeous wedding photos.
100000% recommend
Thank you both so much ❤️
He made us all feel so comfortable and we love the photos!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Beyond their incredible work, they truly felt like friends during our wedding week. They popped into our pre-wedding celebrations to meet everyone and even joined us for a drink on day three, making the whole experience feel so relaxed and personal. Hannah felt like having another sister by our side, helping us get ready, while she and James worked so well together as husband and wife, bouncing off each other seamlessly to capture every perfect moment.
We were beyond impressed with their professionalism, creativity, and warmth. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier wedding photographer and content creator! 💕📸✨
