Wedding Photography

James took the photographs for our wedding (6th December 2023) and he was Incredible to work with. He was professional, approachable and friendly and got to know everyone’s names in a short space of time, making everyone feel at ease with his style and manner. The photographs he produced are amazing and have captured our day so beautifully. There are so many natural shots which our guests have reported ‘I didn’t even know he was there for that’ - because he’s simply that good.
We received thumbnails of our photos within a couple of days and received the requested USB about a week after.
We would highly recommend James and his photography service to anyone who would like truly amazing, high quality, natural pictures. Thank you James

We chose James after we saw what he had done previously for other weddings. Our expectations were high and James not only delivered, but exceeded what we could have hoped for. He’s a very talented chap and a delight to work with. Everyone included in the photos agreed with us that he made it a fun and enjoyable experience. We’d certainly recommend him to any requiring his services. More...

James was calm, reassuring and very easy to get along with.
As soon as we met him we felt confident that he would provide a professional service and we were not disappointed.
He offered great insight and gave us some interesting creative ideas. The weather was a little ‘British’ and James adapted his plans to give us some wonderful indoor photos as well as atmospheric outdoor photos on the river.
He was so easy to get along with he really did feel like one of our friends during the course of our day.
Super quality photos to remember an amazing day.
Thank you James!

James was a total delight to have at our wedding day. He was professional, charismatic, responded well to instruction and made it so fun. I (bride) wasn’t too excited about the concept of having lots of photos, but James made me feel totally at ease and comfortable. Would highly recommend! More...

It has to start with wow! James is the ultimate professional, whose warmth and investment in our day made us feel like he was photographing the wedding of close friends or family! He is so friendly and passionate, goes out of his way to seek out great shots and genuinely made us feel he really cared. He met us before the big day so we knew each other and he could get a feel for what we wanted and he went over and above to deliver that on the day.

The photos are absolutely fantastic and our only problem now is trying to choose which ones to put up!! We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful to you James, thank you so very much from Earl & Sally Napier.

Simply cannot recommend James enough. He was so calm & friendly, but totally in control of the photos that he wanted to take ( at my daughters wedding). The photos are absolutely stunning! Incredible.
We were a big noisy group, but James was so patient, waiting for us to get into position etc.
Thankyou so much for giving us such beautiful photos as a reminder of a perfect day!

James photographed our intimate ceremony in Lyme Regis and was an absolute pleasure to have on our day. He is reliable and punctual, flawless in navigating the logistics of the day and needless to say captured moments we will treasure forever in a beautiful and authentic way. James was a natural part of our day- our families loved having him there and we can honestly say we could not have chosen a better photographer for the occasion. Anyone would be lucky to have James capture their wedding. More...

James did an unbelievably good job with our wedding photos! He did not have much to work with since it was a very small event (and a freezing cold day) but the finished product was lush and looked wonderful. He was actually instrumental in moving the whole day along and blended right in with the family. He was helpful and charming and again, provided just what we were hoping for. I would recommend him to anyone. My parents couldn't make our big day and seeing the photos brought them so much happiness, they said it was like being there. Also we have a small child and he was great with him, too. We all have a couple of shots framed of him from the day! Anyway, I would say, don't think twice about booking James. He is so talented and great at what he does. I would give him 10 stars if I could. More...

James was absolutely fantastic! He tailored a package to suit our needs, taking photos at the house, the church and the reception, even tracking the groom’s party down at the pub having a pre-wedding drink.
We have over 200 fabulous photos of the day, a wonderful mixture of both traditional and candid shots.
We can’t thank James enough or recommend him highly enough!

James absolutely made our day extra special. His patients and expertise were fantastic . We actually only met James 10 minutes before our wedding as we are from Plymouth and getting married in Exeter. James was so friendly we felt like we had known him a long time! Even all our guests highly praised him . More...

From the beginning to the end of our wedding journey James’s communication, personality and photography were exceptional. We are so happy that we found him . We got married in a venue with some protocols in place about photography and James worked within these seamlessly. Beautiful end results, and exactly what we wanted. Thank you James 😁 More...

We had James do our photo's for our Wedding Ceremony at Cockington Court.

We mainly wanted natural photo's of our special day and he certainly caught the moments.

James was very friendly, funny and made everyone feel at ease and his attention to detail was spot on.

A few days after our Wedding we received our digital copies and we were able to share them to our family and friends.

We would both high recommend James for your special day.

James was incredible from start to finish. He was very accommodating and made us feel at ease throughout the day. He made the effort to remember the names of the wedding party which made the whole thing feel much more personal, especially when trying to get our 2 year old nephew involved in group shots. James managed to be present without being intrusive and many guests commented on how nice and professional he was.

He helped capture our day exactly how we envisioned and we would without a doubt recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

James was great to work with. Efficient and responsive in advance with good communications. At the event he simply worked the crowd! We wanted informal photography, there were a few people on the 'must have' list and a few 'must have' shots which James made happen. But he also just quietly went about getting fab shots. Good instinct and a lovely manner. Afterwards several guests mentioned that he was great. Our photos came back very quickly and we love them. We keep reliving the day now as we go through them, sorting out different photo books for different guests. I would recommend James wholeheartedly - thanks for a fab job capturing our amazing day.

We had an amazing wedding at Sandwell Manor and James made sure we had the photos to prove it. James provided us with a memory stick with all the photos and a book of the photos which was fantastic.

Q&As

I love most about my work that each photographic shoot is different, whether its a wedding in Devon or shooting for Nike in Cape Town I treat all my
clients with the same professionalism.

My clients chose me because of my professional behaviour and the quality of my work.
