i’m all about making memories and having an epic time doing it.
I became a wedding photographer to help you do just that!
A bit about me…
Born in Cheshire, but raised in South Yorkshire I now live in a little country village with my
fiancé Larissa and the two dogs, Louie & Charlie. Oh, and I best not forget the horse, Kyre.
I’m obsessed with traveling—anywhere and everywhere. This world is too incredible not to explore, and I’m on a mission to check off as many destinations as possible. So, if your wedding involves an adventure, count me in. No place is off-limits!
As for wedding photography, let’s just say it wasn’t part of the original plan. It all started with a slightly tipsy shopping spree in York, where I impulsively dropped £2.5k on a Canon R6 (thanks, Kraken Rum). Before that, I was dabbling in landscapes with my trusty Canon 250d and a drone. But after that big splurge, I figured I’d better make it count.
I reached out to some amazing photographers to learn the ropes (shoutout to Andrew Heeley!), tagged along to my first wedding, and—wow—I was hooked. The energy, the chaos, the music, the dance floor vibes… I loved every second of it.
The rest? Well, that’s history as they say!
HEY
I’M JAMES
YORKSHIRE based wedding photographer for adventurous and cool as F*ck couples!
Weddings are pure magic—the energy, the raw emotions, and the unforgettable moments. There’s nothing like it, and I genuinely thrive on being part of it all. As a bit of a softie, you’ll probably catch me tearing up during speeches or those sweet first looks—it’s impossible not to get swept up in the love and energy that wedding’s bring.
What fires me up the most is working with couples who want their wedding day to reflect them. My dream clients are the FUN, ADVENTUROUS types who throw tradition out the window and make the day their own. Whether it’s a quirky venue, a wild dance floor, or a unique take on “I do,” I’m here for it.
I’m all about creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere where you can truly be yourselves. No awkward poses, no cookie-cutter shots—just authentic moments that tell your story. If you’re the kind of couple who’s more into laughing, dancing, and living in the moment than stressing about Auntie Sue’s seating chart, we’re going to be the perfect match.
Because for me, it’s not just about capturing beautiful images—it’s about making sure you feel like you’re reliving the best day of your life every time you look back at them.
