Mine & Thine Photography

We requested relaxed, candid shots and lots of photos of our guests - James delivered the brief perfectly. We never felt pressured to perform for a camera, in fact we barely even noticed when he was taking such great shots of the ceremony and speeches. For our posed photographs, he made us feel very relaxed and unawkward, and the results were fantastic. Our venue was a sprawling outdoor estate and James captured so many fun moments amongst our guests that we would missed otherwise missed.

We were blown away by the final pictures which were filled with colour and fun. We also ordered an album through the website which is gorgeous quality Thank you so much James for capturing our day so perfectly, we couldn't be happier with our wonderful wedding photos!

My husband and I got married on the 10th August 2024 at the Hospitium in the Museum Gardens. I generally hate having my photo taken, and was therefore very nervous about the day. However, James from Mine and Thine made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout. He was non-intrusive and friendly, and the photos are stunning! The finished products absolutely exceeded any of our expectations. We would highly recommend!

James photographed our small midweek register office ceremony and we are SO HAPPY with the results. He was only with us for 1.5hrs but we received over 100 photos and had a hard time choosing which ones to print. Highly recommend if you love vibrant colours and want someone who knows all the best spots in York.

James was wonderful! He was so easy to deal during the organisation stage and it was really straight forward to discuss what photography package would work best for us. On the day, he just blended in! We barely knew he was there (apart from the family portraits when he was a pro at positioning everyone!). It's been amazing to look through all the candid shots of things we hadn't even known were happening on the day. We couldn't recommend him more!

The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and were so beautiful! We knew we wanted a photographer that took relaxed photographs, weren't too formal and just captured the love and magic of the day- James did exactly that! He was very professional but easy going and friendly ( half the time we didn't even know he was taking photographs, it was very relaxed!). One of my bridesmaids said they were 'some of the best wedding photographs I've ever seen and I've been to a lot of weddings!'

We chose James as our wedding photographer for our winter wedding in December and we're so glad we did! Working with him on the day was great, he was friendly, helpful and creative. James helped to arrange flowers, fix ties and even put on my veil! We were looking for photos that were fun, vibrant, and yet captured the beauty of our day. James definitely delivered on all of these. Working with him never felt forced or awkward, and it really added to our day.

My husband and I are so glad we chose James & Lianne as our wedding photographers. Firstly, it's great having two photographers and getting to see moments from both of your preparations. James & Lianne were really easy to work with, responding quickly to emails and were very discreet on the day - afterwards when talking about the day we said "I hope they captured this moment, that moment" etc and when we saw our pictures they had, plus more little moments we had missed ourselves! They really captured the personality of our wedding with their relaxed style of photography which is exactly what we wanted, rather than posed formal photos. Our photos were ready very quickly and we also had an album and two smaller parent albums made - these are all beautiful and very high quality. We've had so many compliments from friends & family about the photos and we're thrilled with them. We'll treasure the memories James & Lianne captured forever and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

James and Lianne did an amazing job with our Wedding photos, we've had so many compliments on how beautiful they look! We wanted fairly natural candid photos and they captured this perfectly and also made sure that we had pictures of everyone. Not only were their photos amazing, they went above and beyond on the day to be helpful and put everyone at ease. Hiring James and Lianne was one of the best decisions we made throughout the process of planning our wedding and we would very highly recommend. Their presentation of the photos was lovely as well, I won't spoil it for any potential Brides and Grooms to be but the little touches made them even more special. Thank you both so much!

So where to start with how totally AWESOME James and Lianne are?? We are over the moon to receive our photos as they were EXACTLY what we had in mind. We were looking for a relaxed, modern approach, with no stiff or cringeworthy posed portraits and lots of attention to detail. We found them through their website and the example galleries online are representative of their work. I can't stress enough how well their photography caught the atmosphere and joy of the day. This is a running theme throughout the comments we have received from our guest about the photos. This is in part due to their flexibility to request, for us that was getting loads of touching photos of our treasured Jack Russell. J and L knew how to use the lighting to best effect and found the best spots for some cool creative shots. Everyone knows how important the wedding photographs are but I hadn't considered until The Day how important the actual photographers are. J and L are so easy going, they slotted into the background during the ceremony/speeches etc so people didn't even notice them, giving relaxed, journalist photography, without guest feeling papped! James even managed this in my tiny two up, two down house during the bridal morning shots! We were both nervous about our solo couple shots as we though it would be embarrassing but J and L made us feel so comfortable we enjoyed it and you can see this in the photos. On the admin side J and L are very efficient and clear in their email communications and the form they asked us to fill in before hand was a useful tool to make the most of the days photography. The final presentation of our USB stick was so cute and carefully thought out. All absolutely fantastic.
