OVERVIEW

Kick-ass Weddings and Adventurous Engagement Portraits; for wild adventurers and couples who hate 'traditions'.

You’re new age romantics and wear your heart of your sleeves. You enjoy adventures, getting dirt on your clothes, and sitting on the beaches with a beer or homemade Gin and Tonic, watching the sunset. You would rather sneak off to a speakeasy bar to see what crazy concoctions are being conjured up, than have a huge sit-down meal with five courses. You reveal in getting your feet mucky, and feeling the mud and dust beneath your feet as you watch the sunset.

If this sounds like you, I could be the perfect Wedding Photographer for you, ready to capture every moment of emotion, joy, and tears.

I specialise in Weddings which are a bit more 'alternative', and love to work with people who aren't looking for the copy and paste 'traditional wedding', with a series of boxes to tick. The couples I work with love adventure, and something a bit different from the norm.

I service ACT, NSW, The Snowy Mountains, and Beyond!

I limit myself to working with 40 couples a year so that I can spend more time focusing on providing a more personalised experience, and creating an unforgettable relationship with you both.

If Wedding Photography is something you just need to get ‘done’, I may not be the best fit for you.

Wedding Photography is my passion, and where the heart and soul of Who Shot The Photographer lies. Wedding Photography to me is much more than working with a camera on the day; it’s about understanding your own personal story, creating stunning art to match that, and producing generational heirlooms to celebrate your love.

Each Wedding is unique, and a special reflection of your unique and incredible story. With such a roller coaster of emotions, joy, and tears on your big day, you want to make sure you have someone there to capture your memories, long after your incredible day has passed.

As an experienced photographer, I will be there to capture these fleeting moments and unforgettable memories, creating artwork that you’ll be able to cherish and immerse yourself in time and time again.

My adventure engagement sessions don't revolve around us going to a boring park, having you sit down and 'smile at the camera'. Instead, we go on a proper ADVENTURE! I'm talking a whole day's worth of skiing/snowboarding, or finding a badass waterfall to jump into!

I have three Wedding Packages to suit a variety of days, from five to ten hours long and offer a wide range of exciting extras, such as same day slideshows, stunning Wedding Albums, and fine art pieces.

What's included in my Wedding Packages?

Each one of my wedding packages includes:

  • Coverage from 5-10 hours depending on your requirements
  • Full digitals negatives from your day (300-700 depending on coverage)
  • Drone photography (where available)
  • Ongoing support

Each of my wedding packages also includes the option to invest in a stunning European Leather Fine Art Wedding Album, with 20% off at the time of your booking with me.

About

Hi, I'm James! I’m a documentary wedding photographer in the wonderful city of Canberra, but I shoot weddings all over the country. I love winter because even though it is stone cold, I get to wrap up in a blanket with my partner. I prefer grabbing an Old Fashioned or bourbon at hidden-away bars over a long sit-down meal, and my favourite view is on top of a mountain after a long trek (preferably with good company and a beer brought along to celebrate the climb).

Owner, Photographer

Complimentary 20x16" Art Piece from your Engagement Session

At Who Shot The Photographer I believe that you don't want your images to stay on an old USB disk at the back of a drawer. You want to sing and shout about what an amazing day you had and show off your gorgeous photos in true style.


This is why that when you book a package with me through Easy Weddings, you'll also receive a complimentary 20x16" Fine Art piece for your home. I specialise in creating stunning wall art, and you'll be able to select from rustic timber, traditional framing (with different molding options), high gloss and eye-catching acrylic, or contemporary canvas.

FAQ

Absolutely!

I have several gay weddings booked for 2018 and 2019, and am a huge advocate of same-sex marriage. I believe that we are all equal, and I was so thrilled when sex-same marriage was finally legalised around Australia.

I have captured many gay couples' sessions, and if you'd like to see some of this work, please head on over my blog and check out the following blog posts:

Katie and Amber's Session

I can do everything for you. Except for spinning plates whilst backflipping (ok, give me a few years yet to practice that one)!

I provide an end to end luxury personalised experience. This means that from the very moment we get in contact I pride myself on being personal to you, getting to know you both, and understanding why photography is so important to you.

As such, I also start with the end in mind when it comes to creating stunning portraits of you and your family. I love to provide a cinematic experience for showcasing your final set of images, complete with tasty food and drinks, and a stunning slideshow on my 70" projector.

Every package I provide comes with a stunning personalised high-quality wedding album. I truly believe that your day deserves to be seen throughout your home, and when clients hire me for their Wedding Photography, they can expect a complete boutique experience, where I work with them to understand what their style is, and how they would love to display their most favourite images from their wedding.

From beautiful timber pieces to eye-catching high-gloss acrylic, to traditional frames and contemporary canvas, I can create everything for you. I'll even get someone to come and install your pieces for you if you'd rather let someone else do the heavy lifting, all at no additional cost to yourself.

So whilst in my Platinum and Black Label packages you do receive all of the digital negatives from the day, I always believe that your photos deserve so much more than just to be put on a hard drive.

Print. It's worth it.

Yes I do indeed.

I believe so passionately in what I do that I'm more than happy to put my money where my mouth is, and so I'd love to invite you and your partner into my studio in Casey for a no-obligation consultation, where you'll be warmly welcomed, and I can get a better understanding of what you're looking for on your special day.

I'll show you the Wedding Album you'll get, the heirloom box, the beautiful art pieces I can create for you, everything. I'll get a deep understanding of what really matters to you, and I'll recommend the perfect package for you.

If you're feeling it and want to get the ball rolling, we can lock in the details and get you all set up on my super easy online portal for contract signing and booking fee payment.

Maybe you have the session and don't quite feel it is right for you? Not a problem at all and no hard feelings!

Contact me today and let's get the conversation going!

I believe that Wedding Photography doesn't work sometimes because expectations are not managed properly.

This means that if someone believes their photographer will skinny tool them (I don't do this by the way, please see the next FAQ!) in every image, and they don't, then there is that mismatch of expectation.

I like to be honest, upfront, and personal with my clients, meaning that I want to make sure we are reading from the same hymn sheet. This has lead to all of my Weddings running smoothly, and with satisfied and happy brides and grooms after the final images have been delivered.

I encourage all of my clients to 'come as they are' and love themselves for who they are, because the bottom line is you are amazing! You will look back at these photos in twenty years and think that you look beautiful because, well, you are!

My professional training and expertise with capturing angles and posing will ensure that unflattering angles won't be making an appearance in your final set of photos to choose from.

I do not use any 'weight loss or body enhancement' photo techniques, and work with you before your session to ensure that all clothing and aspects of concern are covered. This means I won't be photoshopping in shoes in place of thongs you brought along, covering your head in hair to cover the bald patch, or turning everyone into skinnier versions of themselves. However, I do work with you to understand what you may be slightly sensitive about, and work to make those aspects of you the most flattering.

Whilst I do not encourage it, if you would like any enhancements done, I will obtain a quote for this work, however, it is not done in-house by myself, and will come at an extra charge outside all session fees, and will be charged by the hour.

James is such a happy and energetic presence and his positive vibes are infectious. He made us feel so happy, confident and comfortable every step of the way from planning for the wedding to the actual day. James is so creative and inspired by the surroundings and you can really see that in the photos. We loved that James didn't put us into awkward poses and made us feel comfortable and captured us being natural with each other. Our photos from James capture authentic, real moments and tell a story of what the day was really like, which we love! We loved that we were just hanging out as a couple and it didn't feel like we were going on a photoshoot! We 100% recommend James! Thank you James for capturing our day!

Highly recommend!!!! If we had to re-do our day or have any future photo sessions, he would be out 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. He brings an amazing chilled, laid back vibe but also has so much excitement and passion for the work that he is doing. He assisted with all the planning and provided so much helpful information to help everything run as smoothly as possible. Thank you for being a part of our day - forever grateful.

James is a legend. He is super personal and not at all pushy, didn't make us feel staged or on display. He helped me calm my bridal nerves on the day and most of all produced AMAZING photos.
