James Aiken Photography Full Description
Tis I, a documentary wedding photographer based in Derry, Northern Ireland. My calling is to adventure throughout our emerald island to capture the heart & soul of your unique love story on the best day of your lives. I began my photographic journey in 2014 when my firstborn baby girl came into this world. Not knowing how to operate a proper camera but using a smartphone constantly at my fingertips, I bought one anyway. The main reason was clear from the get-go, to document my little girl’s growth, but I found in due time that this was an art that I fell head over heels in love with. Just Imagine holding a picture of the past in your hands and seeing the true value of a timeless spectacle I want to take pictures that matter to people, that imagery is a must-have during their wedding day! The heartfelt moments that last way beyond just a memory but to bring you back to that time. I’m completely driven about photography that hits the heart and bleeds raw emotion between two people. I love to capture a couples connection, the desire they have for each-other is inspirational. An adventure with an epic view, a classy couple and plenty of laughs is what makes me tick about being a photographer. It’s a true honour to be a part of my couples special day, documenting every cherished moment that will be with them forever. My mission as a wedding photographer is to give my couples a breathtaking experience. I want to help not just as your photographer, but as your professional third wheel. Together we shall create the most amazing memories to remember. I thrive knowing that you both are having your best time on your wedding day.

Describe how you got into photography.

My daughter was born in 2014. Living life as a single dad wasn't easy and I only got to see my little girl once a week. So, I wanted to capture all those little details of her growth as much as I could. I found these photographs to be precious and so, I wanted to photograph memories that matter for other people.
