Full Description
Are you looking for a wedding photographer or videographer to capture the most special moments of your big day? Look no further!
I am a modern natural, unobtrusive documentary style photographer and videographer who specialises in telling the story of your special day.
£200 off full day packages for remaining 2023/2024 wedding dates.
£100 off smaller packages
I can provide either:
* Photography
* Photography (with a highlights video (with my optional “fusion” highlights add-on)
* Photography with basic ceremony, speeches and first dance films
or
* Cinematic Videography – main packages (If not doing photography as I cannot provide full photography and main videography packages together).
I offer two payment methods a £250 non-refundable booking fee and balance due 30 days prior to the wedding or a lower easier payment plan which has a lower £100 deposit and the balance spread over monthly payments up until 30 days prior to the wedding if you wish to spread the cost. Please note if paying by instalments the first £250 is the booking fee.
My photography packages are based on digital supply of images via an online password protected gallery which can also be shared with any quests if you choose to. I can also supply a wide range of optional luxury wedding albums to suit all tastes and budgets all which can be ordered direct from your gallery after the wedding.
When it comes to weddings both my photography and videography style is a mixture of documentary and modern twists on the traditional, capturing your day as it unfolds from start to finish. My photography is a mix of romantic, elegant portraits (often with a touch of drama) mixed with a more relaxed, informal style.

Great documentary photography
Fantastic photos delivered incredibly quickly only three weeks after our wedding.
Only two drawbacks, first one was there was zero communication ahead of the day which was quite disconcerting to not know who was taking our wedding photos at all.
The second was the secondary photographer didn't know which woman in my wedding party was my mum, which means I have lots of lovely photos of my godmother and very few of my mum which is quite sad and could have been very quickly cleared up.
Only other thing I would say is if you want a documentary photographer, absolutely 100% go with this company, if you want lots of staged group photos then this isn't what their specialty is - I, as the bride, ended up organising these photos and many of the end results have people not looking the right way, eyes closed and generally needed more guidance.

Amazing photos that captured the full story of the day
I found James on FB and loved his pictures.. I then moved to his website and looked through gallery’s of previous weddings and loved the story telling aspect. We booked the gold package and felt this was really good value for the money as he would be with us from get ready to after the first dance.. the pictures he produced were so natural and just amazing. Other than the group photos we didn’t even know he was there (in the nicest way possible) he was so friendly and put us completely @ ease! I will be recommending him to any friends are to be married :)

Our perfect day
James was amazing from start to finish. He calmed me down in the morning when I had a ‘moment’ by telling me a funny disaster story. He was professional and friendly. The photobooth was a great hit with guests, the package deal was brilliant. His photography and videography skills are second to none, he captured every beautiful moment and his pictures truly tell our story of our perfect day. Every time we look at them we get transported right back to our wedding, which is simply amazing! Couldn’t of asked for more, thank you!

Best wedding photographer ever
Firstly I want to say thank you. My photos are beyond perfect and I never thought that’s what they would come out like. As I sit and look through them I’m in tears, not sad tears but happy ones. Both you and Ian have captured everything and now I can relive my wedding all over again. Both of you are so talented and I’m glad I picked you as my photographer. Secondly, There’s a reason you are called 1st class photography and that’s coz you really are 1st class. You put me at ease and half the time I forgot you was there. Thank you for capturing our day and being apart of it. Lynsey & Vinny Woor

Amazing photos of our day
James is very friendly and down to earth. Any kind of shot we wanted was not a bother to him. We had plenty of time with the guests, and throughout the day we had short bursts of having photos taken which was a very good balance. He captured amazing photos of us and all of our guests and we are very happy to have had such a friendly person join us on our wedding day.
