Where do I start!? These two are amazing, so much more than photographers, they become your best friends, helpers and reassurance on your big day along with capturing it beautifully. Thank you so much for everything!

James was everything we wanted in a photographer and more. We have been so impressed by the sneak peek, we cannot wait to see the rest of our photos! During the day James only called us twice for photos, and snapped candid shots along the way, exactly like we wanted! We felt relaxed that we were in the hands of an expert! Thank you so much to you and Hannah for playing a vital role in our day. Also, thank you for caring so much, and being excited for the day with us - that is what made you stand out from anyone else we spoke to, 2 years ago when deciding on a photographer! More...

We recently hired James to photograph our wedding, and all I can say was that it was one of the best decisions we made! He was an absolute pleasure to work with, was punctual, friendly and he had such enthusiasm to get the best photos possible. We decided to actually hire two photographers on the day, James being one, and his colleague Ed being the other. Ed shadowed me, whilst James was with my wife, and this double team allowed us both to get a feel for the other's morning, before they both captured the ceremony from different viewpoints. Both Ed and James were unbelievably helpful, friendly, supportive and they made our big day so much fun. They even bought us drinks when we were thirsty! Nothing was too much trouble, and they worked diligently to capture our day in the best possible way. Thank you so much, James (and Ed!), you were both our favourite suppliers! All the best with everything. Joe and Katy x More...

Myself and my husband were lucky enough to have James and Hannah photograph our wedding on the 28th May this year. We cannot begin to put into words how happy and grateful we are for our stunning wedding photos. James has been so welcoming and accommodating since the second we enquired about our day. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he will do anything to make sure your day will go absolutely perfectly. We were drawn to James from looking through some of his previous photos and we knew instantly he was the exact type of photographer we wanted. He did not disappoint. On the day he had everything under control and knew exactly what he needed and where everyone needed to be. His eye for detail and finding the most beautiful settings/scenery is amazing. He kept everyone calm and made us all feel so at ease. Especially for someone like myself who hates being in front of the camera! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! All we can say is James and Hannah thank you so so so much for helping us to create life long memories and making our day the most perfect magical day possible. Mr & Mrs Myers More...

James was absolutely brilliant. We had to postpone many times due to Covid but James was totally understanding and sympathetic during this period. When the wedding finally came around, James was amazing he really made the photographs seem so easy for us and was working around us and our wedding day. The photos are brilliant and we will truly treasure these for the rest of our lives. Thank you James ! More...

James made us feel so at ease on our big day . In fact, from the moment we first spoke he was so professional, friendly and happy to answer all of my questions ! My husband and I are delighted with our wedding photos! James is extremely talented and I would use James again to capture special family moments . Nothing was too much trouble. I specified I wanted a ‘confetti’ shot and James captured my vision perfectly . He wanted mainly natural shots, not too many staged photographs and this was exactly what we got . I would highly recommend James ! More...

You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so it's important to make sure you pick a photographer you feel comfortable with. From the moment we met James, he was so accommodating and friendly - a real pleasure to be around. I'd highly recommend having the engagement shoot as it's a great opportunity to get to know each other before the wedding and a chance to feel a little more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. We also had to move our wedding due to Covid and we were so pleased when James had availability for the new date and he was incredibly flexible in moving the date and making sure we were not out of pocket. On the day, he worked seamlessly with the staff at the venue to make sure everything went to plan and to capture the best photos possible! We loved looking through the online gallery he curated for us a few weeks after the wedding with hundreds of pictures we were able to share with all the guests to view and download. We've just had a wedding album meeting with him and can't wait to get our hands on the album. I'd highly recommend James and you know you'll be in good hands from wedding prep right through until getting your album created. More...

James Ireland Photography is wedding photo perfection! My Husband and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. From day one James communicated in a speedy and professional manner, his prices were incredibly competitive and the final products were outstanding. We were lucky to be joined by both James and Ed on our wedding day, they made myself, husband and all our bridal party and guests feel relaxed when taking photos, plus they were fab with my little nephew who I think has decided he wants to be a photographer after being James shadow most the day haha! I can't recommend James Ireland Photography enough and we couldn't have been happier with the images we received! Looking forward to seeing James again in a few months at a friends wedding who couldn't resist booking him after meeting at our wedding. Thank you again James and Ed! More...

James and his sidekick Ed (we had the all night long package with 2 photographers) were amazing. Lots of options to chose from, we had a random bunch of natural shots and portraits. We were recommended by another photographer to James - we were glad we were as we got on well with him from the start. They both made us feel very comfortable on our big day, our family loved them, they were so professional and the night shots they took on our wedding night you wouldn’t have thought was possible with the cloudy weather. The photo booth which came with our package went down a storm as well. We had hundreds if not nearly a thousand photos come back within a week, some beautiful photos in there which we will put in a photo album. Thanks James and Ed for everything, we wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. More...

We were looking for a natural, documentary style photographer that could provide us with lovely colourful photos that capture the emotion of our day, and that’s exactly what we got. We have so many amazing photos which really capture the atmosphere and some particularly very special moments, and it was all done in such a natural way. We went for the prep to party package with the addition of a second photographer. We’re so glad we went with this option, as it’s really nice to have photos of every element of the day, including the groom prep and guest arrival, as well as the bride prep. Also included was the engagement/pre-wedding shoot which also gave us so many beautiful photos, and an opportunity to get to know James before the big day. James and Ed were both so helpful and friendly. James was great from our first meeting all the way up to the day, and beyond. On the day, James was helping to get bouquets and corsages to the correct people, adjusting our 2 year old nephews buttonhole, as well as going out of his way to avoid the situation of my now husband accidentally seeing me before the ceremony. Ed was really great too, including jumping up and down by the camera to keep the attention of our nephew for our family photo! We also had a last minute curveball which James and Ed handled so well and really went the extra mile to ensure everyone could be included in the group photos that we requested. Our family and friends were all very impressed. Our best man and bridesmaid have contacted James since our wedding to book them for their own wedding date! Can’t wait to catch up with James again soon so we can look at getting our favourites put in an album. More...

We got married in August 2019 and we can’t put into words how amazing our wedding photographer was. James was brilliant every step of the way from the first meeting to the fantastic wedding album design. The pre-shoot was very helpful as both of us weren’t sure how it would be posing for photos however James put us at ease and it wasn't long until we were all laughing and getting to know each other. On our wedding day, James and Ed were brilliant. Before the ceremony, James was a star and he had the patience of a saint when my 6 year old niece was asking continuous questions of why. The beach shots were incredible, I can’t imagine every photographer would buy you ice creams to eat and use in your photos. The photo booth was excellent entertainment and we have some hilarious photos to treasure from the evening. In the last week, we received our wedding album and we are so pleased with the outcome. Thank you so much. More...

I just want to start by saying thank you so much for our lovely wedding photos. James was the only wedding photographer that we met with and we knew from that initial meeting that he was the person we wanted to photograph our wedding day. We were a little apprehensive about the pre-wedding photo shoot that came with the package we got, but James assured us that it would be really helpful in getting us comfortable with him and being in front of the camera. He was SO right. The pictures were lovely and got us so excited for our wedding. We opted to have a second photographer for our wedding day - both James and Ed are such great individuals. They blended in perfectly and sometimes it was hard to forget that they were our wedding photographers and not friends who we had invited! We can’t thank them enough for our amazing wedding photos and how much effort they put in to make our wedding day special. I 1000% recommend James as a photographer for any kind of event you may have. You won’t find better. More...

We are so pleased that we choose James to be our wedding photographer! The price we paid for the package James offered was absolutely fantastic - it beat many other photography packages we had initially looked at. James worked with us to ensure he captured the most important shots, and to ensure that we were fully happy with the plans for the day. My husband and I were a little concerned that having our photos taken would be a little awkward but James made sure it was anything but! When we had our engagement photos done, it was honestly like going on a walk with a friend. James put us at ease and took the most amazing photos of the two of us with our daughter. On our wedding day, James was once again fantastic! At points, I completely forgot we were having wedding photos taken because we had such a laugh and he again put us completely at ease. If you’re looking for a photo booth too, I highly recommend doing this through James. It was a huge hit with both my husband and I, and with our guests. The photos that were taken are absolutely fantastic and have made our guestbook come to life! I now can’t wait to receive our wedding photos. James let us have a sneaky peek at one on the day and it was breathtakingly beautiful. We can’t recommend James enough, especially if you’re worried that the process of having your photos done may be a bit awkward. Our experience has been fantastic! Thank you so much! More...

He filled us with confidence and we felt like we were in good hands from the very start. The big day came and he didn't disappoint. The entire day was managed down to the finest detail, and yet not at one point did his team get in the way of the celebrations. The product of the day was incredible.

We got married the 28th of May. The months leading up to our marriage, however, as many who are going through it surely know for themselves, were quite stressful. There's so much to do and so many little things that you have to suddenly think of that you didn't even consider before.Thankfully, picking our photographer came pretty easy. After looking through James' photo gallery I pretty much immediately fell in love with his style of photography. After sending my wife a link to the gallery I waited for her to browse a little before closing the deal with an excited "Now read the FAQs!" - I'd already read them and I was pretty much set on James as our photographer. She was convinced as well after reading the FAQs and getting an idea of what he's all about.The first meeting went really smooth, and we left with a good feeling; knowing exactly what we would walk away with as he showed us how we would get our pictures (spoilers: an online gallery of our own) with the option to get a selection professionally printed.On the day itself we hardly noticed James and Hannah as they took pictures during the ceremony and did a great job with the couples pictures with clear directions. We never really felt pressured into doing things we didn't enjoy and we just had a great time taking pictures together.If you're looking for a relaxed photographer who delivers a great service and good quality products, I would definitely recommend you go for James.

From initially finding an advert on Facebook, we met James and instantly were won over with his style of photos and how willing he is to go the extra mile to ensure you have the best memories of your day.

Despite the technical issues and the heat of the hottest day of the year, they were enthusiastic throughout and we have already received some of the photos that we will treasure forever.

James and Ed photographed our wedding last weekend and our pictures have come through a week later. They are professional yet come with a relaxed vibe which really helped us to relax and forget they were even there taking pictures of us! They both have such fun personalities making you feel like you’ve known them for years. When looking at the pictures... To say they took my breath away is an understatement. My husband and I are so blown away with how amazing their work is and it’s helped us relive the day over and over. I could include so many or their pictures that they took for us because there isn’t one I don’t love. But here’s a photo that shows their hard work and dedication to their jobs. This is James and Ed with our two children making them feel included in every part of the day. This is a picture I will hold on to dearly from my wedding day because they allowed our kids to take photos of us which encouraged them even more to play ball and get in front of the camera themselves. From the start until the end of the day they both worked tirelessly to get the most amazing wedding photos I could have ever dreamt of. So James and Ed thank you again for everything!
