captured the day perfectly

I feel james’ photographs speak for themselves. He has an incredible talent and was like a fly on the wall capturing all our special moments. Thank-you so much for making our wedding album as amazing as it is, with basically no instruction from me you captured the day perfectly. If you’re thinking of booking James, don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it!

We were blown away by our photos

James was the photographer for our wedding in November 2019 and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for better! We met up with him a few weeks before the wedding and discussed what we wanted and didn’t want (nothing too formal) and he got it spot on. A lot of our wedding guests commented on what a nice guy he was and how he blended into the background (in a nice, unintrusive way!). We were blown away by our photos, and have already recommended James to friend who get married next year. Can’t recommend him enough!!

received our wedding photos and are amazed!

We can't rate James highly enough! We have recently received our wedding photos and are amazed! Through the photos we have been able to relive the day, both the events and the feelings that we had. James made us all feel at ease and went to great lengths to get to know our family so they were comfortable with him being around too. He has managed to capture some beautiful moments from our day, along with providing us with some stunning stand alone images. Thank you so much James!
