Capturing the best day
We couldn’t recommend James enough! We really felt comfortable and at ease which was really important for us, and most of the time we didn’t even know he was there, it was very discreet and natural! We received our videos back really quickly and we absolutely love them, he captured our day perfectly and we are so happy we can re-live the day over and over!

If you want the most beautiful photos James is your guy!
We are so unbelievably happy with our photos and videos from our special day! First of all can I say we got them back ever so quick a matter of weeks which is just heard of! Then we had the pleasure of finishing our honeymoon to return home to all our beautiful shots. We are both very impressed with the amount of photos James really captured the highlights of the day and I love how natural they are! Thank you ever so much James. 100 percent recommended!

The most amazing wedding photos
We had the pleasure of having James come and see capture our wedding day on 11/06/2024. Our photos came back quickly and they were absolutely incredible, even more so that we ever imagined. James was very professional yet extremely welcoming and friendly. All our guests have commented how nice he was and how a lot of the time they didn’t know he was there (in a very good way) we felt very relaxed when taking our posed photos and felt at ease with James when we had our couple shots. Thank you so much James, you really captured the fun and the love of our special day x

Incredibly impressive production and service from start to end
From the very beginning James delivered a highly professional service that made sure every detail counted. Sarah and I have watched all the videos several times and we are completely over the moon and we felt like we just relived the entire day. Absolutely superb editing and direction, James crafted something incredibly special for us. We can’t thank him enough.
