100% Recommend

Jamie was without a doubt the best decision we made. Made us feel at ease from the initial chat and the pre-wedding shoot was a great idea for us to get comfortable in front of a camera. We barely noticed Jamie on the day but from the previews he was always hiding in the perfect spot. Choosing the right photographer is important for your wedding and trust me when I say Jamie will be the right photographer for you.

Jamie was everywhere and nowhere all at once!

Jamie photographed our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better and more professional photographer for it. The quality of his work is truly incredible. He captured some very special moments we simply won't forget!

All of our guests commented on how he was "everywhere and nowhere at the same time", he was always in the right place to capture a moment but was never intrusive so all our photos felt completely natural.

Absolutely incredible photographer!!!

Where do I even start. From the get go Jamie was just incredible!!
Email communication and then zoom calls and a face to face meeting meant keeping in touch and explaining what we wanted and what was important to us was so easy. Extremely reasonably priced and transparent in pricing, no back and forth or filling in forms...all the info was there on his website along with portfolio of pictures to view.
Jamie was very easy to get along with and put us at ease as we were worried about being photographed as it felt unnatural to us. On our day, Jamie was literally amazing, I can't even explain how good he was. He put me at ease when he could see I was nervous and guided me on individual bridal shots as well as the dress reveal to my bridesmaids and mother in law etc

He was amazing with our 2 girls and allowed them to get involved with taking some pictures on his camera and helping him hold my veil near the camera for an artistic shot. This helped the girls be at ease around him too and they were so happy to be helping with such a big part of the day!

The pictures we have had back are fantastic and everything we could have wished for and more.
Jamie took waaaay more shots than we'd discussed and for that I'm so thankful, he was keeping an eye on the weather so we could get out into the grounds for some good shots in between showers, and genuinely went above and beyond. He stayed so much longer than he should have done and so had the longest day ever. But honestly I can't recommend this photographer enough!

Genuinely didn't even realise he was there but somehow he was everywhere! His presence on the day was fantastic and very chilled, got on with everyone and worked bloody hard!! Our pictures are absolutely incredible and we love them so much, thankyou so so much Jamie!

You absolutely HAVE to book Jamie for your wedding! You will not regret it!🥰❤️

Jamie really captured the magic of our day

Jamie went over and above. He created lots of amazing moments for us during the day which he has captured for a lifetime. He knew just how to capture the emotions of the day with both the formal and fun parts of the day.

More than we could have ever dreamt of

Where do I even start, if I could give more stars I would! Jamie is absolutely amazing. From start to finish of our wedding even before the wedding with keeping in touch through email and meetings in person he’s been a star and made our wedding that even more special. Capturing every moment so perfectly! He is such a friendly and happy person to be around making you feel so at ease when he’s pointing a camera at you and that sometimes you forget he’s even there… which if your like me and hate getting photos taken is a blessing. He was so wonderful with my son, niece and nephew when it came to taking photos of them by some magic that must be Jamie managed to get them to smile and stand where they were suppose to be, I would highly highly recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for a photographer! He is a pleasure to work with and captures your day so naturally. I couldn’t have asked for anything more honestly. We was overwhelmed when we received our photos he truly is talented at what he does. Thank you so much Jamie for all your hard work and making our day special.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Jamie was brilliant he captured our day perfectly can’t recommend highly enough. The amount of great pictures he managed to get of us and our guests without even knowing he was doing it at the time was amazing. The formal shots are great but the number of natural shots of everyone enjoying themselves has captured the day perfectly.

Red Dot Photographic -professional, personable and extremely talented.

From our first meeting Jamie fully understood our brief and the need for our day to be captured in the most natural and timeless way.

The atmosphere, emotions, personalities and the complete essence of the day are captured in the story book of over 700 photographs presented to us.

Through Jamies discreet photography we are able to relive the day with some of the unique shots almost taking us back in time to most magical memorable moments. Forever grateful

Fantastic photo's, highly recommended.

Jamie has recently captured memories at our wedding celebration. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we wanted. The results are nothing less than amazing! We are over the moon with the pics and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks so much Jamie. x

My Daughters Wedding

I was delighted when Jamie was able to attend my daughters, low key wedding. She has never had a need to be the centre of attention and was somewhat overwhelmed by the thought of having a photographer present for more than a few snaps !
Well Jamie took the time to meet us before the day, discuss what she and her fiancé would be comfortable with for their wedding day. Jamie arrived early, clicking away at the venue, ceremony room , cake and guests as they arrived. A constant click in the background then some formal wedding photos at the marriage ceremony and agreed wedding group photos. Jamie was passionate about taking some great family photos of my daughter, husband and children despite her unease of being the centre of attention, down to Jamie’s approach it became clear , what my daughter initially asked for was clearly not what she wanted on the day! Jamie’s enthusiasm was infectious and the day whizzed by click by click as their special day was captured 😘 Well Jamie took many many priceless memory photographs , many make us laugh as they capture real humorous moments in time, as well as the more formal shots“.

It goes without saying I would not hesitate in recommending Jamie for your special day, he clearly invests his time and energy in recording your magical day by knowing what you want, researching the venue for formal photos and subtly blending into the background for those priceless moment shots😂

Very friendly, positive experience, affordable

James shot our wedding day and was amazing from the first point of contact! We had 2 meet ups prior to our wedding day with lots of communication in between. I really felt like James spent the time to get to know us as a couple. He was fantastic on our wedding day and all our guests commented on how amazing he was. Our photos turned out truly stunning and I simply couldn’t pick my favourite! Highly recommend

Amazing. Calming. Happy. Special.

I got Jamie's recommendation from others and he was so brilliant within emails and our first meeting. He forfilled every wish and hope I and we had. He's such an amazing guy great laugh. Tends to everything you ask. His work is brilliant. I am so glad we decided to go with Jamie. He made me feel so comfortable given I don't like the limelight. He worked around the clock naughtiness every second of our day.

Please go through his work.message him for a chat. Meet him you feel so much better in a very nervous and busy time planning a wedding.

Thank you Jamie for making our day amazing.
You worked so hard made us laugh.
Great working with you. X

The best photographer!

Jamie was our photographer for our wedding in May 2024. We had sat and researched a photographer based on the style we wanted. From the initial meeting, we knew we had to book Jamie. We wanted a relaxed wedding, with plenty of ‘capturing the moment’ shots rather than too many staged photos. And wow, Jamie just got it. We had a pre-shoot (we would absolutely recommend) where we got to spend more time with Jamie before the day, practised some shots, and got a whole bunch of incredible photos even before the wedding day. Jamie went above and beyond, by meeting us again before the wedding day, to walk around our venue with us and plan out where photos were going to be if the weather was good, and a plan B incase of rain. When it came to the day, he caught every emotion from so many of our guests (and of us) - and did it so incredibly well. Even our guests commented on how hard he worked, how amazing he was with them, and how much they love the photos too. We’re already planning on booking Jamie again for further shoots, and we’ve recommended him to everyone we know for their weddings. You better ‘snap’ him up before we fully book him! 📸 thanks again for everything Jamie.

Amazing Photographer

I cannot recommend Jamie enough. He was professional and courteous and he took the time to find out who me and my husband were and what was important to us so that our photos were exactly what we wanted and represented us. He even visited our venue before our wedding day so that he could plan what photos he would take. Jamie also did a pre-wedding shoot for us and we were able to include our dog in those photos. Jamie captured us perfectly. We had to change the date of our wedding due to family illness. Jamie was so kind and considerate of the family and was able to move things around in his diary to accommodate us; something we are incredibly grateful for. I would 100% recommend Jamie.
