The journey

Every step, taken care of

  1. The enquiry

    You send a message, I check your date, and we take it from there. No pressure and no hard sell, ever.

  2. We meet

    A relaxed chat over video or coffee so we can get to know each other. A simple contract and deposit then hold your date.

  3. In the run-up

    We’ll talk through timings, any must-have shots and any worries, and build a relaxed photography plan that fits your day.

  4. The wedding day

    I arrive early, blend in and quietly document everything: the nerves, the ceremony, the confetti, the dancefloor. No posing for hours.

  5. Your sneak peek

    Within 48 hours I’ll send a handful of favourites, so you’ve got something to share while the excitement is still fresh.

  6. Your full gallery

    Within a few weeks your complete, edited gallery arrives in a private online space. Download, print and share as much as you like.

  7. Yours to keep

    Full-resolution files with no watermarks and no restrictions. They’re your memories, so do whatever you like with them.

On the day

The little things I look out for

My promise

No stress, no surprises

From the first message to the final gallery, my job is to make this the easy bit of wedding planning. I’ll turn up when I say I will, care about your day as much as you do, and hand you photos that make you cry the good tears.

That’s it. No hidden fees, no awkward posing, no faff.

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!
