ABOUT JAMES
Meet Your Wedding Photographer, James Clarke
“Hey, I’m James - born in Kent, but raised in beautiful Somerset. As your Wedding Photographer, I’m here to capture your special moments with a natural, candid style that tells your story uniquely.”
Capturing Your Story
I’ve always loved photography, from childhood holiday snaps to filming underwater clips on family trips. Even while pursuing my dream as an athlete and coach, a camera was never far from my side.
Turning Passion into Profession
When COVID changed everything, I took the leap into full-time photography, with the support of my amazing wife and two girls. It’s been a decision I’ve never regretted.
What’s Inspired Me and What’s Important to Me
It all started with my own wedding photographer and watching another photographer at my sister’s wedding. After shooting a few weddings for friends, I was hooked. There’s nothing like capturing the joy of two people saying “I do.”
Telling the Story of Your Day
What I love most is being part of your story. By the end of the day, I’ll feel like I’ve known you for years, not just hours. It’s not just about photos for me — it’s about capturing the emotions, the joy, and the love of your day.
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.
Why I love wedding photography?
I love taking photos — it’s what I’m passionate about. There’s nothing better than sharing your photos and seeing your reactions. I know how important it is to have someone you trust capturing your day, and I’m here to make sure you feel excited and at ease throughout the process.
When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m usually at sports events, always behind the camera. I feel so lucky to do what I love, and I can’t wait to bring that energy to your big day!
My Approach
I call myself an extroverted, introvert. I absolutely love working with people, but at the same time I enjoy time to myself and driving my business forward. On your wedding day, I will throw myself at everything, but my main aim is to make you relax and enjoy your big day.
I shoot in a very natural, informal and unobtrusive way. There are times for more posed photos which I love, but the main thing I want to capture is the smiles, tears and everything in between.
Wedding Enquiries to Delivery of Your Photos
Right from your enquiry until the delivery of your photos, I strive to make myself as known to you as a couple as possible. From multiple calls, to keeping in touch emails, I want to eradicate the awkwardness of only seeing you for the first time on your wedding day.
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.
