Meet Your Wedding Photographer, James Clarke
“Hi, I’m James a UK Wedding Photographer. Your wedding day is a story waiting to be told, and my passion is capturing it in a way that’s uniquely you.”
Capturing Your Day, Your Way
Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and love — moments you’ll want to relive for a lifetime. As your photographer, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, connected, and at ease, so the real you shines through in every shot. Whether it’s the smallest detail or the biggest celebration, I’m there to capture it all naturally and authentically.
Sophie and Howard shared, "James somehow managed to put everyone at ease… we hardly noticed having our pictures taken. He fit in like he was one of the family."
What Inspires Me
My journey into photography started with my own wedding. Seeing how a talented photographer could bring the moments to life through pictures was unforgettable. It’s those emotions — the joy, the connection, the love — that inspire me to document your day with the same care and creativity.
What’s important to me? It’s about your story. I believe the best photos come when you feel comfortable and can be completely yourself. Together, we’ll create timeless images that bring your memories back to life.
Making You Feel Comfortable
The more relaxed you are, the better your photos will be. Building a connection with you is everything to me. When you feel at ease, that’s when the magic happens. We work on this throughout your journey working with me. From phone calls, to engagement/pre-wedding photoshoots, there are plenty of opportunities should you book with Just James Weddings to make sure you feel at ease on your big day.
Why I love wedding photography?
There’s nothing quite like seeing two people in love surrounded by their family and friends. That’s why I do what I do. Weddings aren’t just events; they’re deeply personal, one-of-a-kind celebrations. I love helping couples relive the magic through photographs.
Toya and Simon said, "James captured the soul of our wedding…nothing overly posed, just relaxed and fun. The photos are timeless." Beth and Tom shared, "He made us feel so comfortable, and the pictures he took were creative and just perfect."
What you can Expect?
From the moment you get in touch to the moment you hold your photos, you’ll feel confident, relaxed, and supported. I’m here to help you every step of the way — sharing tips, answering questions, and making the process as stress-free as possible. On your wedding day, I’ll be there not only to photograph but to bring a calm, friendly energy that lets you focus on enjoying every moment.
"James is not just a photographer but a true artist and a fantastic person to have on your special day," Jade and Jack.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m either chasing my two girls around Somerset, cheering at sports events, or finding new ways to tell stories through my camera. I’m lucky to do what I love, and I can’t wait to bring that passion to your big day.

My Approach
Your wedding day is about you, and my approach ensures the focus stays on celebrating your love story. I’m here to make the process smooth, fun, and authentic from the moment you enquire to the delivery of your treasured photographs.
As someone who loves connecting with people but understands the value of space, I bring balance to your wedding day. I’ll throw myself into capturing every special moment, while making sure you feel completely relaxed and free to enjoy your celebration. My main goal? To make you forget the camera is even there, letting your natural joy shine through.
From Your Wedding Enquiry to Delivery of Your Photos
I specialise in a natural, candid style, blending into the background to catch the real smiles, tears, and laughter that make your day unique. While I love creating beautiful posed shots, it’s the in-between moments—the hugs, glances, and little details—that tell your story best.
From your first enquiry to receiving your gallery, I focus on building a connection so you feel comfortable and confident. Through calls, emails, and pre-wedding shoots (if chosen), I’ll make sure we’re more like old friends on your wedding day than strangers.
If this is all sounds like something you are on board with and would like to know more, feel free to get in touch today.
FAQ’s
-
I am based in Somerset, but absolutely love to travel. I cover the whole of the UK and abroad.
-
Make sure to fill out the contact form above and we can get the ball rolling. Even if you only have questions to ask at this point, be sure to get in touch and I will endeavour to answer them for you. I offer a pre-booking consultation where we can get a flavour for each other and to see if the fit is right. If you are happy after this chat, I require a signed contract and a deposit of £200. Then I am all yours!
-
100% yes. Sometimes this is not possible with distance and therefore we can meet via video call. However, I like to meet couples either at their venue, or for a drink (can be a hot chocolate, or something more exotic) before your big day.
-
Depending on the package you chose, I can be at your wedding between 5 hours, to full day. For a full day wedding, I usually stay for up to 1 hour after the first dance to get those party photos.
-
Every wedding is completely different and again this depends on the package you chose. For a full day wedding, you can expect a minimum of 500 photographs. All photos are edited to match the flower arrangements on the day, which couples have said works so well and in keeping with the day.
-
I do! Although modern and documentary style leans away from capturing more formal photos, I still believe they have a place in a wedding day. I’ll work with you to help plan your shot list so that it is time efficient on the day.
-
As part of my delivery, couples can buy printed albums and photo prints direct from the host site that your online gallery is on.
In terms of what I offer, you get an online album and also (depending on what package you chose) a tangible USB box with ~10 free prints included.
-
So, within 24 hours of your wedding day, you will receive roughly a dozen what I call ‘Hero Shots’ to do away with those post wedding blues. Couples love waking up to these the morning after.
With the full album, the lead time is between 4 to 8 weeks. I will not make you wait any longer than this.
