About
Hey, I'm James
I’m a wedding photographer based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, serving couples across Rutland, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and the UK. For over a decade, I’ve been capturing love stories throughout the East Midlands, and I absolutely love what I do.
Photography isn’t just my profession, it’s my passion, my creative outlet, and the way I see the world. Every wedding is unique, and I’m honoured to document these once-in-a-lifetime celebrations for couples who trust me with their most precious memories.
My Story
My journey into wedding photography started over 10 years ago when I photographed a friend’s wedding. Watching their reaction to the photos, the tears, the laughter, the overwhelming joy, I knew this was what I was meant to do.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of documenting over 250 weddings across Rutland, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and the UK.
From intimate ceremonies at Normanton Church to grand celebrations at The Barnsdale, each wedding teaches me something new about love, family, and what matters most.
I’ve built my business on a simple philosophy: treat every couple like they’re my only couple. Your wedding day deserves my full attention, creativity, and care, and that’s exactly what you’ll get.
My Approach to Wedding Photography
01
Natural & Unobtrusive
I blend into the background, capturing moments as they unfold naturally. You’ll barely notice I’m there, yet I’ll be everywhere I need to be.
02
Candid Over Posed
The best moments happen when you’re not thinking about the camera. I focus on genuine emotions, real laughter, and authentic tears.
03
Natural Light Expert
I work predominantly with natural light to create organic, timeless images. No big flash setups—just beautiful, honest photography.
04
Relaxed & Friendly
My calm, friendly presence helps everyone feel at ease. Many couples say I felt more like a guest than a vendor by the end of the day.

When I'm Not Photographing Weddings
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside with my camera (yes, I can’t help myself!), enjoying good coffee at local cafés, or spending time with my family.
I’m a keen traveler and love discovering new places, which is why I’m always excited when couples book me for destination weddings. There’s something magical about combining my two passions: photography and exploring new locations.
I believe life is about collecting moments, not things, and that philosophy drives everything I do, both personally and professionally.
