Relaxed wedding photographer in Kent

Artful, honest, and deeply human.  

Elevating your photos, and letting your day breathe.

You’ll never know what your favourite Wedding Day memories are going to be.  

You can’t plan ahead for a “do you remember…?” moment. And you won’t tell stories about “that time we did the trend

It’s the unexpected you’ll love. 

Champagne kisses when you sneak away for sunset. The “what were we thinking?!” moments you’ll laugh about with your mates. The ridiculous why-nots you’ll tell to your kids. 

And as your wedding photographer, that’s what I’ll capture. 

Not the red-carpet poses, the polished, and the perfect. But affection, and laughter, and the beauty in-between.

So here’s the plan…there is no plan.

Let’s explore, have a laugh and embrace it as it comes. Jump in the bath, jump on the bed. Fuck it, let’s jump in the pool.

And as your day unfolds around us, I’ll give you space to enjoy it.

Supporting you, guiding you, creating around you.

Quietly catching your new favourite memories- and crafting them into photos that could be cut from a magazine.

  • “James, what a cool guy! We hired James for our wedding after seeing his work from one of my friends weddings. HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! James captured every moment of our wedding and got some beautiful photos! Looking through the photos is like reliving our wedding day.”

Hey, I’m James. 

Dad, husband, film lover, animal lover. Snowboarder, surfer, and a relaxed wedding photographer in Kent. 

I once stole a bottle of champagne from the bar.

I heard the groom say, “I wish we’d brought one from home…”. Five minutes later, they were half-cut and laughing, and soaked in champagne. 


I’ve coaxed an entire wedding party out into the garden, because I knew the bride wanted drinks in the sun.

I’ve rescued countless couples from “just one more!” group-shots, and whisked them away into a wide-open field.

And as your wedding photographer, that’s who I’ll be. The guy who takes care of you. Who listens, understands you, and makes everything feel easy. 

I’ll clear clutter, move flowers, and hold-open doors. I’ll sneak sweets to the kids to get them smiling, and fetch Nana some water if she starts to droop. 

So breathe. Relax. Enjoy every minute, have fun with your friends. 

Focus on each other, and leave the rest to me.

Find me standing at the back of gigs.
On rollercosters, on my surfboard, on the slopes. 
Watching films, or rabbitholing YouTube.
Running along the beachfront, or with my daughter on the sand. 
Find me bundled in blankets, taking photos of the stars.
Nursing a pint in a countryside beer garden.
Hanging with my family, and wrestling my cat.

  • “He was cool, calm, confident and so much fun to be around. We got more photos than we ever expected and they are so perfect — he captured memories we will treasure forever. Not only did we hire a photographer, we also gained a friend.”

Nevermind the traditions. Shake off the pressure, and forget all the noise. 

You’re getting married for you.

So before you book, let’s get to know each other. 

Tell me about what you want. What you’re most looking forward to, the friends who are like family, the people you can’t wait to see.

And when your day comes, it’ll feel effortless. You’ll feel comfortable, safe, and supported; you’ll have all the space you need. 

I’ll be your wedding photographer, your hype-man, your professional bad influence. And if you need a little ‘you’ time? I’ll be the hand that grabs you from the crowd. 

This is about so much more than just taking photos. I’ll give you the day that means the most to you.
