Award-Winning UK Wedding Photography. Your love, your moments, timelessly preserved.
Hey, I'm James!
I believe in capturing weddings with honesty and documentation - preserving the emotions, connections, and quiet in-between moments that make your day truly yours. Through a candid, informal style and with a calm and considered presence, I blend into the background, capturing your story as it unfolds naturally while guiding you to effortless, beautiful portraits.
Every couple, every celebration is unique, and I take care to reflect that not only in the way I capture your day but also in how I edit - tailoring each gallery to the colours and tones of your wedding day flowers, and to the overall atmosphere of your wedding. My goal is to create images that don’t just show what your day looked like, but what it felt like - so that years from now, you can step back into those fleeting moments as if they were yesterday.
From the moment you enquire to the final delivery of your gallery, I’m here to make the process smooth, exciting, and completely stress-free. I believe that great photography comes from trust and connection, so I take the time to get to know you, understand your vision, and offer guidance every step of the way. Whether it’s helping with timelines, scouting the perfect portrait locations, or simply being a reassuring presence on the day, I’m committed to giving you an experience that feels effortless, personal, and truly special.

Just perfect!
James is an exceptional photographer who made my surprise proposal unforgettable. He captured the moment beautifully, showing genuine enthusiasm and happiness. He delivered a portion of the pictures quickly, that allowed us to share the joy with our loved ones. James' skills, heartfelt approach, and prompt delivery make him highly recommended for any special occasion.

James was absolutely fantastic!
We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a professional photographer. We had a small family wedding and wanted to ensure that the day was beautifully captured through photographs. We are so pleased with our choice of James. He was well-prepared, organized, and a great person to have on our special day. He was friendly and chatty with the guests, but he also seamlessly blended into the surroundings when needed. James has a keen eye for capturing couples and the essence of a wedding day. The photos we received are simply wonderful.
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, James is the one to look for. You won’t regret hiring him.

Can’t recommend enough!
James is an incredible photographer, we are so glad that we chose to go with him. From start to finish, James made us feel so at ease. We’ve never had any kind of professional photos before, so both thought we’d struggle with confidence, but James was more like a friend, and I felt completely relaxed. The pictures he took were incredible, creative and just perfect. 10/10!

Amazing wedding photographer
James is an amazing photographer who puts even the most camera shy couples (like us) at ease and enjoy the whole process. He's very resourceful, shares a ton of information in the run up to the wedding to best prepare for excellent photos. He goes above and beyond in making the day seamless - from making your bouquet look fresh to giving clear instructions to guests for getting the perfect group shot. With a very fast turn around of 'Hero Shots' in under 12 hours from the wedding day, I could share memories almost instantly with loved ones. Can't recommend James highly enough. Thank you for capturing our special day and being a part of it.

Wonderfully captured our day
James captured our wedding day so perfectly and we are over the moon with the photos and service we received from him throughout the whole process. From our engagement shoot, to discussing the big day, to the wedding day itself, James filled us with full confidence and delivered amazing results. He's been friendly and professional whilst making us feel at ease in front of the camera. He captured both the small details and big moments and we are thrilled to have so many beautiful photos to cherish from our day. We can't recommend him enough and so glad we chose James to be our wedding photographer- massive thanks!

100% would recommend!
James is an amazing wedding photographer and a key vendor for us to have secured for our big day.
Communication leading up to the event was great, and then on the day James was friendly and perfectly balanced the unobtrusive photographer getting those candid shots with the commanding photographer rallying the guests when needed! Most importantly James is such a good guy, conscientious in his approach and takes pride in his work.
Our "sneak peek" photos are incredible and we're so excited to see the rest, which I know will be prompt and to such a high standard!
Would 100% recommend booking James for your wedding or event - you won't regret it!

We were thrilled to have James as our photographer ....
We were thrilled to have James as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. From the very beginning, James was more than just a photographer; he was a guide and a source of invaluable advice. His tips, advice and reminders from our engagement shoot all the way to the big day were so helpful.
On our wedding day, we faced EVERY type of weather imaginable, from bright sunshine to, clouds, sudden storms and rain. James was incredibly prepared, navigated these challenges with incredible professionalism and creativity, ensuring that each moment was captured beautifully despite the unpredictable conditions.
What truly sets James apart is his ability to adapt his style to perfectly match the venue and the overall feel of our wedding day. His understanding of light and attention to detail resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever.
Beyond his technical skills, James is a lovely and calming presence to have around on such an important day. Our family and friends enjoyed his company, and he made everyone feel at ease. We feel incredibly lucky to have had James there to capture our special day, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dan & Jess wedding ‘24
We first contacted James back in the summer of 2023 whilst in the thick of wedding planning. In what was a pretty stressful time, we were instantly relieved to have found a photographer that not only understood what we were looking for but also made us feel comfortable and relaxed (we’re not the ‘smile for the camera’ type)!
James continued to stay in contact throughout the lead up to our big day with video calls, emails and through WhatsApp. The video calls really helped us to get to know how James worked and James to get to know us as a couple.
On the day itself, James arrived at the venue early, scoping out good areas for photos and capturing some incredible moments of the girls getting ready in the bridal suite.
Throughout the entire day (it was a long one), James was amazing. He somehow managed to put everyone at ease and, after a few formal photos, we hardly noticed having our pictures taken. He also fit in like he was one of the family, laughing with the guests, joking with our kids and giving us some encouragement when it was time for couples photos. He even stayed later than planned to capture the father-daughter dance.
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for more. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect photographer for our day!
Thankyou James for capturing so many beautiful memories for our family. They will be forever cherished.

Just perfect! 📸
We contacted James to do the photography for our wedding day and right from the first time we had contact it was clear that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. James is a professional and it's clear that it's also his passion as he carries out his job methodically. We were so lucky to have found him.
We wanted someone who would capture the soul of our wedding and he did exactly that. Nothing overly posed, the day was relaxed and fun, which he captured perfectly. It was a day full of family, friends, so much laughter, tons of love, plenty of dancing and James was there for all of it. The lighting, framing, character and life of each photo was what I had been dreaming of. The sort of photos that are timeless and our family and friends will look back on and suddenly be transported back to the day.
We can't recommend James enough – he is not just a photographer but a true artist and a fantastic person to have on your special day.
Thanks again Ruth and Carmelo

We would highly recommend James 5*
James was the most amazing photographer at our wedding. In the days leading up he messaged us a few times to reassure us about the weather as there was a named storm due on the day. He showed us amazing photos he had taken of other couples in the rain. He was calm throughout the day but managed to get the guests in place to take photos at the right time to avoid the rain. The photos are beautiful and he really listened to what we asked for. I would highly recommend him.
