March 2026
I was a little bit nervous about engaging a wedding photographer having watched friends be herded around like cattle at their own weddings by over zealous linen overall wearing, six cameras strapped to their harness photographers and seeing the stress that frankly would taint their meat. James was not like this. He was relaxed from the get go when we first met to discuss what we wanted. He listened and picked up on our general vibe for the wedding. We made a rough plan and it was clear that he was open to most ideas and would steer us in the right direction. On our wedding day he was directive when he needed to be without being abrasive. He made great suggestions for photos but didn't push them if we said no, there was no ego to contend with on the few occasions we weren't up for his generally excellent ideas. The candid photographs of friends and family from the ceremony and reception are some of our favourites and James clearly interacted with everyone in a way that kept them at ease like we were. If things don't work out with my current wife I would definitely engage James for a second wedding. Would I instigate a divorce to have him photograph a second wedding for me? Maybe. I would definitely recommend James if you are looking for quality photography and to work with someone who is going to keep you relaxed on your wedding day.
