On my doorstep

Your Rutland wedding, exactly as it felt

England’s smallest county punches well above its weight for weddings, and it’s right on my doorstep. From lakeside ceremonies at Rutland Water to intimate country-house days, I love shooting here.

I’m based just over the border in Stamford, so Rutland weddings are home turf, and travel is always included.

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!
