I’m an open book so feel free to ask me anything and browse some of the 3,000+ images I have up on the site to see how I capture a wedding day
fun, relaxed, natural
Weddings should be fun, not full of awkward and unnatural photos that don’t reflect your true personalities. When you look back at these memories - the authentic moments, ones with genuine laughter and emotion between people are the ones you will cherish. Those are the moments I love to capture at every wedding.

Nothing is too much to ask…………….”

“James is a fantastic photographer with an obvious love for photography and a great eye for capturing special moments. He was incredibly easy to work with, super organised (pointing out things we would have never thought of but made the day run a lot smoother) and had great energy. He noticed the lighting, the mood and the opportunities without us even asking, to get the best shots for us. Having these memories can never be overrated…………….”

Couldn't be happier, and so excited to make all these photos into an album. Thanks again James!”

“Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding photos and our gorgeous wedding album.

“I really want to post the perfect review about James as he was the perfect photographer. We are beyond thrilled with our photos. I had no idea how important wedding photos were until after our wedding and they are all we have to remember it by. They are beautiful and they mean so much! But not only are they amazing photos but James battled the extreme heat of the day (40+) and took it all in his stride……..”
“Our experience with James is completely consistent with the rave reviews he has received below. He is both very easy to get along with, and also highly professional. James' calm nature put us both at ease all the way from the initial consults to on the day itself. He provided very comprehensive cover of the day without ever being intrusive, and he has a great natural candid style. Can't recommend him enough.”
“From the moment we met James, we knew he was going to be a great fit to be our wedding photographer. He was genuine and passionate about his work and was always available to answer questions throughout the planning process. I can't recommend him highly enough. James displays a clear focus on customer service and it makes all the difference. Thank you for providing gorgeous photos to make our wedding memories last a lifetime. We will certainly be back in touch for any other photography needs in the future. What a find!”
“I will just say, James is the best wedding photographer I have ever met. My wife stumbled across his website when we were searching for our photographer and it was the best decision we made for our wedding. James are super professional but also have such a charismatic personality and you can tell he really wanted to make your wedding a wonderful memory. I can say he really made our wedding easier by just taking photos of us and made sure we don't need to worry about him. And the result were just beyond our expectations. We knew it would be good already but we weren't expecting how good it turned out to be!………………”
“Thanks again James for all of your amazing work ! It was an absolute pleasure having you capture those special moments as our wedding day unfolded. His professionalism and passion for his craft truly shined throughout the entire day. Rose and I continue to spend hours showing off his photos to friends and family and look forward to putting a few up on our walls soon (it’s such a challenge to pic from all the gems he captured).”
James took the most amazing photos of our wedding day. He was so efficient in the lead up to the day and really helpful with ideas and planning. On the day he worked for hours and seemed to really love what he does. People at our wedding kept commenting on how great he was and now they can't stop going on about how beautiful the photos are. We are sooooooo happy with the photos, he really captured the magic, and we've never looked so good!
Fine Art Albums
I have a real passion for printing photographs. You ever look through an old album and just feel more, remember more, imagine more? There’s something that is much more emotional about tangible printing. When you open your album for the first time, there’s a huge rush of excitement, joy, anticipation and finally the realisation of those memories that are now treasured and kept for generations to come. Opening your album in 50 years will bring a joy and energy that cannot be replicated by imagery on a screen.
