WHY WORK WITH ME?

Hybrid means I shoot both professional photography and short-form video throughout the day—switching seamlessly between stills and motion, using two cameras 

The result? A gorgeous wedding photo gallery… plus a cinematic video that brings the day flooding back.

  • A full wedding photo gallery, edited in my signature style.
  • A 2–4 minute highlight film, edited by me, with carefully chosen clips and natural ambient audio (think laughter, cheers, hugs—not long speeches).
  • Delivered alongside your gallery, ready to share with family and friends.

This is not a traditional, long-form wedding video.


I don’t film entire ceremonies or speeches in full—you’ll need a dedicated videographer.
But if you thought video was out of reach or just not your thing, this might change your mind. It’s just enough to feel like a film—without the overwhelm.

Hybrid is perfect if:

  • You want a video but not a full videography team.
  • You didn’t budget for a second supplier.
  • You weren’t planning on having a video at all—but now you’re curious.
  • You want your day to feel relaxed, not like a production.

KIND WORDS

  • We truly cannot recommend James enough. He was our photographer and videographer our wedding day and captured all the most special moments perfectly.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience. James went above and beyond, and we would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who truly gets it and listens to what you want
    Georgia & Zach ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • James was relaxed but efficient and took note of what we did and didn’t want, he did his thing, in the background and captured some amazing moments!
    It’s clear he loves what he does and has a real eye for detail and opportunity.
    We’ve had lots of comments from others too, which cements we made a great choice! Everyone loved him (and his work!)
    Thank you again, would highly recommend! 🥰
    Rosie & Matt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • We’ve had nothing but compliments from both his presence on the day and the photos we received; just made the wedding day stress free and the pictures proved it. His professional approach made him blend in perfectly with the crowd to capture the best parts of the day as well as those moments you might have missed. Considering we’re both quite uncomfortable in front of the camera he made us feel at ease.
    Megan & Ben ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • James Pearce is THE best wedding photographer in the business. Not only is he hilarious and so down to earth, his photography captures the moments that matter and the vibe just perfectly.
    Honestly, if you’re getting married just book this dude because he’s the best. All of our family and friends we shared the photographs with all commented at how they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen.
    James is worth 👏🏻 every 👏🏻 damn 👏🏻penny.
    Alice & Samuel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Just the best! We were so happy we chose James to catch our special day! He thinks of everything and it just feels like he is part of your guest list! James captured everything we wanted and more… does everything he can to make sure he does too! And we got some super special little snapshots to keep on the day that enabled us to treasure our special day immediately! Thank you James! For being you and letting us relax and enjoy every minute!
    Hannah & Jon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • HIGHLY recommend James, he was absolutely brilliant in all aspects. Our photos are so beautiful, he managed to capture every moment perfectly. He was so helpful in the lead up to the day, offering advice and having calls with us to make sure he understood what we wanted from our day. On the day, James was a friendly, helpful presence but also ‘out of sight’ where he didn’t get in the way, also he stayed to capture a lot of our evening party and gave us a surprise gift too!
    Stacey & Nick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
