Hi, I’m James,

A wedding filmmaker and photographer with a warm, natural, and honest approach to storytelling.

I specialise in capturing weddings in a relaxed, documentary style that allows you to fully enjoy your day while I preserve the genuine moments, emotions, and atmosphere as they naturally unfold. From the big emotional moments to the quiet in-between glances, my goal is to create timeless memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

With years of experience behind the camera, I understand how important it is for couples to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I take the time to get to know you, understand your vision, and create something that feels personal and authentic to your story.

James is a star!

We couldn’t be happier with the results. On the day, he was so lovely and everyone got on with him. When it came to the final product he was also more than happy to alter little bits here and there. Would recommend to anyone.

Great quality videographer for our wedding!

Great quality videographer for our wedding! James has been great to work with from our first chat with him all the way to the editing at the end!

We apprecated James being friendly yet professional and was passionate about capturing our day. On the day itself James blended in very well, recording many candid moments balanced with a couple of posed shots and chats with the guests.

We were blown away by the inital edit of the video. It perfecty captured our day and was done very quickly. James was then flexible with the following edit requests, we appreciated he gave us a heads up to share video styles and music we would like in advance of editing to get things amazing first time around. He also came up with lots of great ideas for the video which we appreciated.

We would highly recommend working with Redvers Weddings and wish the business every success in the coming years!

Highly recommended videographer

James was professional, friendly and responsive throughout, notably James was flexible in holding impromptu calls in the lead up to our wedding, and in factoring in our specific requirements. The feature length video was of high quality and was delivered promptly after the wedding, with any edits swiftly factored in. We would highly recommend James

James was amazing!

We were both amazed by his enthusiasm and professionalism during our wedding. He was able to capture a beautiful video and so many lovely photos that we will hold very dear to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know, thank you for making our day more special James!

Worth every penny!

My husband and I were skeptical about whether we needed a videographer but we are so so glad that we did, and even more glad that we decided to go with James!

We wouldn’t have known he was there on the day, he blended so brilliantly into the background, yet the videos that he’s been able to capture are absolutely perfect.

Whilst photos are brilliant, being able to rewatch videos means you can really soak up the atmosphere!

I could not recommend James more, he was fantastic from the second I enquired and delivered our products so so quickly - thank you James!

Cannot sing enough praises !!

Couldn’t find a single fault really. Great value for money. Such a professional, warm and friendly photographer that worked with us, listened to us, and was perfect on the day. Got all the shots we wanted of all the important moments, he was smart with where he was so as not to be ‘in the way’ but get everything we wanted.

Caught the vibe and feeling of our day so so well. Was even having a laugh with our mates and family!!

Such a lovely person, we are so so glad we booked him for our day as it felt exactly right and natural/easy/relaxed. With the photographer being the person that you as a couple work most closely with throughout the day, he is the exact kind of calm vibe you want on a day which can be busy and full of pressure/timings/things to remember.

I've been a passionate videographer for as long as I can remember. After becoming a Video producer for Brands, I realised that I truly wanted to work in an environment filled with emotion and love; that was the beginning of my journey into the wedding industry.
