you’re wanting to marry your best friend.
i’m here to help capture your story.
You’re here because you want to have an intimate experience focused on you both, without the pressure and rule book of a normal wedding.
You’ve got nothing to worry about, and I’m psyched!
hey there!
i’m james!
your wedding photographer, and biggest cheerleader.
It won’t surprise you, but I’m a huge adventure and nature nerd, so much so that I spent 6 months living in the jungles of Madagascar back in 2010!
Because of that, more times than not, I’ll take any excuse to get into nature and explore what is out there. I’ve always found myself constantly surprised by how many wonderful sights there are out there. I live a life of creativity and curiosity and believe in challenging the status quo.
I’m into board games, camping, a nice whisky after a good hike, and bouldering! Give me street food over 5-star dining any day! I find myself constantly jumping through bushes, and running up mountains to get that perfect shot for my couples.

i believe how you feel is the most important thing.
so you can look back and re-live your day.
Your wedding day should be an unforgettable story – one you live fully, knowing the moments most precious to you are being captured with cinematic artistry. I combine rock-solid reliability with an empathetic, unobtrusive style so you can stay present, feel safe, and relive every emotion in stunning detail.
From our first conversation to the final gallery delivery, I’ve got your back. I’ll guide you gently – no awkward posing or rushed timelines – so you forget the camera is even there. Then, you’ll receive a beautifully edited collection of images that flow like a film: from the quiet anticipation of your morning prep to the joy-filled energy of your last dance.
You deserve to have a day where:
I’m here to bring your vision to life, and I truly believe in supporting you to have the day you want.
Sure, my job title is photographer
But I’m going to do so much more than just that for you.
From the second we start chatting, I’ll listen to what your dream day should be like, and help you craft that dream and get there, from deep dives on locations you’ve drempt about, to finding the perfect vendors to make it all happen.
You won’t have to lose nights worth of sleep wondering how the timing of the day should go, or what to do if the weather turns. I’ll have your backs, with helpful guides, regular check ins, and a heap of useful infromation from over 7 years of wedding experience.
how the process works.
Step by step how the process works.
01.
let’s pick and date and location.
You may have your venue sorted out, or perhaps you are still looking for ideas. You may also have a date in mind or be flexible. I’ll be here to help research anything you’d need, and then to find a date which works, and get you locked in!
02.
i assist you in planning your day.
You deserve to have someone behind you who will be cheering you on however you want to say your vows and share your love. I’ll be here to support you however you want to start your marriage.
03.
i’ll help you with recommended local vendors.
If you’re still looking to add more people to the A Team, then I’ll be more than happy to recommend industry leaders and some of the best people in the biz. You let me know what you need, and I’ll send over some solid recommendations.
04.
i’ll create a timeline for you day.
Working out the best time for lighting, your ceremony, couples photos, and even a first look can be a bit overwhelming. This is where I’ll come in and make everything a breeze. Having helped over 300 couples, I can provide the best recommendations for what may suit you best.
05.
give you a ‘best friend’ experience on your day.
I believe that the day you get married should be an authentic adventure where you can be yourselves. I’m not the sort of photographer to yell ‘KISS!’ or ‘LOOK LIKE YOU LOVE EACH OTHER!’.
Instead, I prefer gentle prompts and a relaxed approach to really bringing out the raw emotions in your both. No posing experience necessary.
06.
you’ll receive your gorgeous photos
The images and art I’ll create from your wedding will tell the story of who you are and what went down on the day. Landscapes, emotions, laughs, and the real you is what I’m interested in. So, when you look back in 20 years, you’ll remember how you felt on the day, rather than someone who barked orders at you to fake PDA which wasn’t even you.
07.
order your albums and prints.
Turning your house into a home with stunning and personalised art is one of the most rewarding ways to celebrate your story. I specialise in creating some of the very best museum-grade art pieces for you. I can even show you to scale how certain images would look in your home, so you’d be able to have complete confidence in how your final art pieces would look in your home.
what’s it like to have me as your photographer?
over 100 5-star reviews!
“i cried watching one of his videos”
On the day itself, James somehow achieved the magical balance of being everywhere at once, but also not at all intrusive! We had SO much fun with James during our couples photography session while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. It was like hanging out with a mate you’ve known forever.
For anyone who thinks that wedding photos are usually cheesy or lame, absolutely go with James. We got AMAZING photos and he’s also incredibly kind, communicative and easy to work with. One of our best decisions
“james was professional and fun”
On the day James was professional and fun, he very quickly melted into the landscape and we only ever saw him when he wanted to capture some amazing sunset shots. His personal touches and ability to keep us both feeling at ease (when we both don’t like having our photos taken) was a blessing on a day that went so quickly.
The photographs were ready within 3 weeks (which was beyond our expectations) and they were more then we could have ever imagined. The candid shots of friends and family, the stunning colours used throughout and the use of lighting were key elements that I personally love in photography and James got them all!
If we had my time again, we would hire James in a heart beat (and probably for longer next time).
“incredible quality of photos”

what’s the end result? See for yourself:
a whole day’s worth of photos.
really?
I get it – being “on camera” for 8+ hours can sound daunting. As an introvert myself I completely get that. But that’s not what this is. It’s not an all-day photo shoot. It’s partnering with someone who’s there to capture your story as it unfolds – every spontaneous laugh and quiet moment.
This won’t be what you think of with most ‘wedding photography’ – stuff poses, being ordered around by a drill sergent, or being told to ‘kiss and smile’ for the camera. I just don’t do that, because to me, that isn’t authentic. That isn’t the real you.
Instead, your day is going to look more like this:
Does that sound like an all day photoshoot to you? Me either.

creating art for your home.

choice of materials.
What is your style?
classic framed.
super customisable.
If you love the ‘museum’ look, and want an art piece that could also compliment the materials and colours in your home, then framed could suit you both.
This piece has a UV coated protection on the glass to help reduce damage from the sun; it is best placed in a room which wouldn’t suffer from a lot of glare.
scandi timber.
perfect for minimalist lovers.
If you’re the sort of people who find yourselves becoming obsessed with wood and timber, then these may be perfect for you.
They also have a matte finish, which means that it won’t be as reflective as framed, so this may be perfect if you’re looking for a piece that gets a lot of natural light.
modern canvas.
simple and stylish.
If you find yourselves drawn to the more modern and minimalist feel of canvas, then these prints would be perfect for you.
They have a matte finish as well, meaning that they are suitable all over your home, including areas with plenty of natural light!
choice of presentation.
How would you like to display your art?
hero piece.
big and bold.
You’re looking for something that really stands on its own and sums you both up in one concise image.
Signature pieces are great if you like the big and bold look of having one big piece at the end of the hallway, or above your bed.
They can also be smaller pieces to compliment other pieces of artwork in your home.
Choose from timber, framed, or canvas.
storyboard.
narration bliss.
Perfect for couples who enjoy a concise snapshot of the day in a few images.
It comes in all types of configurations, so you can have a massive set above the kitchen table, or a series in the hallway.
set of prints.
great for gifts.
My fine art prints are the perfect gift, and can even be framed on their own if you have a personal favourite frame.
