Hi!

I’m James.

Wedding photographer, outdoor enthusiast, amateur chef and a professional people watcher! I’ve been obsessed with taking photographs pretty much forever.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a camera at my side, taking pictures of everything from holidays to hanging out with my mates.


The more photos I took the more I realised how much I loved creating these little stories of moments in time. Stories - images - that are filled with faces and places that I loved.

Eventually that love of photography, and being known for having my camera with me at all times, led to me being asked to photograph a friend's wedding.

I got such a buzz from that day and, well, the rest is history. I got married myself back in 2019, so I know all about the crazy journey you’re embarking on.

Feel free to ask me anything, I’ve been there!

Katie and I got married at the beautiful Ashes Barns in Staffordshire, a wedding venue I regularly shoot at.

We started our married life in Leek but have recently moved to our cosy new build house in Cheadle, Staffordshire. It’s a great base for traveling all over the Midlands and North West for weddings.

    When I’m not shooting weddings you’ll find me…

    • Outdoors. Usually up a mountain or by the sea - with my camera of course!
    • Cooking all sorts of recipes, and eating them too! I’m a bit of a foodie…
    • Collecting cookbooks. Lots and lots of cookbooks. Building new shelves in the kitchen to house them all has been on my to do list for a long time.
    • Listening to music. Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Muse, Foo Fighters are all my favourites and I’m always open to recommendations.
    • Watching the Back to the Future films on repeat! In fact, 80s films and music are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.
    • Enjoying Staffordshire Oatcakes with cheese and bacon. If you haven’t tried our local cuisine then you’re missing out!
