Hello.

I’m James.

A Yorkshire wedding photographer with over 16 years of experience capturing colourful, natural and joy-filled weddings across Yorkshire, the UK and beyond.

From elegant country houses and rustic barns to city celebrations and destination weddings, my approach combines relaxed documentary photography with beautiful editorial portraits.

Based near Halifax, I photograph weddings throughout Leeds, York, Harrogate, Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire region.

I want to make sure you have an incredible wedding day and create absolutely gorgeous photographs.

“JAMES! Booking you was the best decision we made during our whole wedding journey (apart from marrying each other).

WEDDING STORIES

Real wedding days are filled with emotion, atmosphere, beautiful light, and everything in between.

THE EXPERIENCE

I’m there to do far more than just take photographs. I’ll help you feel relaxed, keep things flowing smoothly, organise the chaos when needed, and make sure you genuinely enjoy your wedding day.

Feel. Everything.

I want you to forget the camera is even there.

Fully immerse yourself in YOUR day while I CALMLY capture it as it naturally unfolds.

The moments that feel emotional. alive.
joyful.
quiet. messy. real.

After 600+ weddings, I know when to blend in, when to guide, and how to help you feel completely at ease in front of the camera.
