I'm James.
I fell in love with Wedding Photography immediately be Encapsulating family and friends, emotions, food, music and dancing; it creates a gorgeous melting pot of documentary, portrait and fashion photography.
And then, as if it couldn’t get any better…boom…a big posh cake arrives!
I revel in the opportunity to get creative but also the opportunity to photograph the most emotional day of peoples lives and those interactions between family and friends are some of the most loved images that I create.
As we’re spending the day together, it’s important that we share a rapport and one of my main attributes, if you like, is my warm, considerate and empathetic personality. Through my work on hospital wards and spending years travelling I have developed a calming presence and natural assimilation to people from all walks of life which plays an important role during a wedding day in which there are so many interactions.
I understand when I need to get involved, when to take control, and 90 % of the time - when to hold back and let your day flow. This is something that comes very natural to me and through 16 years experience its a skill well honed. I’m a bit of an outgoing introvert so I enjoy the social aspect but also love getting into a creative zone.
