Hey, I’m James

Creative documentary wedding photography

I’m a wedding photographer based in Stamford, Lincolnshire.

My style is natural, relaxed and all about the emotions. I call it creative documentary photography, and it’s perfect for couples who are doing things their own way. You don’t want hours of portraits or hundreds of stiff family photos. You want storytelling photos that bring the memories of your wedding back for years to come.

And just because I live in Lincolnshire doesn’t mean I won’t photograph your big day.

Natural creative storytelling

No cheesy posing

Yes, that’s right: zero awkward posing and definitely no cheese. Of course we’ll do a handful of family group photos, but you want to hang out with the people you love, not feel like you’re in the middle of a photoshoot.

When it comes to photos of the two of you, we’ll just go for a walk. You get a bit of time together away from the chaos while I take photos. I’ll give you some gentle guidance to ease you in, but it’s all about you two being yourselves. It sounds simple, and it is. But it works.

I’ll travel wherever you’re marrying

Although I’m based in South Lincolnshire, I travel everywhere. In 2026 alone I’ve already been to Southend, Newcastle, Gloucester and Barnsley, as well as weddings closer to home in Rutland and Lincolnshire.

All my packages include travel, so the price you see is the price you pay. Nothing more.

Once you’ve seen my style, I’m hopeful you’ll be ticking ‘book a wedding photographer’ off your list.

From the heart

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!
