Hi, I’m James,

Wedding photography that feels like your day actually happened

I’m James, a natural-light, documentary-style wedding photographer based in Stamford, Lincolnshire. I believe the best wedding photos are the ones you don’t know are being taken: the quiet look between you both, your mum wiping a tear, the chaos of confetti.

No stiff poses. No generic shots. Just your day, in full.

— James

The bits you’ll want to remember are rarely the ones anyone posed for.

The whole story

The little things, and the big laughs

From bridesmaids piled into the bath during prep to the groom crowd-surfing at the evening do, I catch the details and the chaos as they happen.

James was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He was friendly with all our guests and managed to get some awesome pictures, both candid and staged. The end result is a lovely set of wedding photos. Thank you so much James.

I cannot compliment James enough! Fantastic photographer, captured everything from our wedding that we wanted and more! All our guests couldn’t say enough nice things about him, chatting away and getting those all-important shots throughout the day!

James deserves even more than 5 stars! Amazing from start to finish. He made us feel relaxed and able to enjoy the whole process. In the best way possible, we didn’t even realise he was there half the time!
