KIND WORDS
Wedding Photography Feedback - Just James Weddings - Photographer
“The easiest yes we’ve ever made!” - Kirsty & Will
I don't always ask my couples to write reviews, but I'm very touched when they do, they also help to spread the word for other couples to make the right wedding photography choice. Here's a handful of testimonials from just some of them.
Please read what my couples have said about their experience with me as their choice of wedding photographer.
“James is an incredible photographer, we are so glad that we chose to go with him. From start to finish, James made us feel so at ease. We’ve never had any kind of professional photos before, so both thought we’d struggle with confidence, but James was more like a friend, and I felt completely relaxed. The pictures he took were incredible, creative and just perfect. 10/10!”
Lily & Lloyd - Broadfield Court
“Just a superb photographer, chap and all round human. My partner and I are absolutely delighted with our photographs. You'd expect that from most photographers but the thing that makes James different and superior to others is his friendliness, kindness and how extremely approachable he is. If James's style is up your street, then don't look any further if you're looking for a photographer for your event.”.
Josh & Abi - The Cider Barn, Dillington Estate
“James was absolutely fantastic!
We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a professional photographer. We had a small family wedding and wanted to ensure that the day was beautifully captured through photographs. We are so pleased with our choice of James. He was well-prepared, organized, and a great person to have on our special day. He was friendly and chatty with the guests, but he also seamlessly blended into the surroundings when needed. James has a keen eye for capturing couples and the essence of a wedding day. The photos we received are simply wonderful.
If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, James is the one to look for. You won’t regret hiring him.”
Raf & Mel - Bathen House, Bath
“We are so glad to have booked James for our wedding! He was a friendly and welcoming person, very clearly dedicated and committed to his job. His pre wedding communication was first class and the tips were much appreciated! During the wedding, he seamlessly blended in yet somehow managing to capture every moment. James had a great knack of knowing when Josie and I needed some directions when it came to posing and provided easy to follow directions. He was very open to trying different shots that I wanted to take and was happy to offer his professional view too which I really enjoyed. All our guests were very complementary about James and we felt very smug about our choice in wedding photographer!”.
Brian & Josie - Clifton Observatory
“WOW! James, our expectations were high, from the work we'd seen online, but you exceeded them and then some!
From the moment you arrived on our wedding day, I was instantly at ease. Your quiet confidence and presence was exactly what we needed on a slightly chaotic wedding morning. Your attention to detail was fantastic and you knew exactly what needed to be captured and when. Every single one of our guests had something positive to say about you. We had so much fun, and you were a big part of that, making sure everything ran smoothly not only for photographs but helping out with other parts of the day too.
And to top it off, the quality of the photos we've received have blown us away! We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with you and can't thank you enough.”
Ciara & Jeff - Glastonbury Wedding & Events Venue
“What a piece of luck to find James; I married an administrator, so the fact all his media works and is thorough boded well!
We warmed to James instantly; calm and reassuring all the way.
On the day his experience shone, and he struck the perfect balance of being discreetly ever-present, capturing beautiful images of us and our guests.
Not a clock watcher, James stayed past the agreed package time to capture shots he deemed important, that we had perhaps overlooked.
A likeable, kind and talented man; you should definitely “add to basket” for your special day!”.
Howard & Sophie - Glastonbury Wedding & Events Venue
“From start to finish, James was helpful, organized, and responsive. His friendly demeanour was very welcomed in the midst of wedding craziness. On the day, he blended in and was a pleasure to have. Most importantly, the pictures were phenomenal! Better than we could have imagined. Not only did he turn the photos around quickly (within a month), he also sent a selection of "hero shots" two days after the wedding which was so thoughtful. Leading up to the wedding, James was sending tips on how to prepare. I would recommend James to everyone!”
Olivia & Joseph - Home Garden Wedding
“We are so happy we booked James! Right from the start, he offered lots of hints and tips about what to expect on the day and ideas for different photos. He’s a really friendly chap and was calm and professional on the day, putting us at ease. And the photos we’ve seen so far are fab! Can’t wait for the rest”.
Nicola & Matt - Royal Hotel, W-S-M
“James is an amazing photographer who puts even the most camera shy couples (like us) at ease and enjoy the whole process. He's very resourceful, shares a ton of information in the run up to the wedding to best prepare for excellent photos. He goes above and beyond in making the day seamless - from making your bouquet look fresh to giving clear instructions to guests for getting the perfect group shot. With a very fast turn around of 'Hero Shots' in under 12 hours from the wedding day, I could share memories almost instantly with loved ones. Can't recommend James highly enough. Thank you for capturing our special day and being a part of it.”
Ananda & Barry
“James recently photographed our wedding and I have to say James was incredible! He captured our day so wonderfully it was brilliant to look back and be able to relive it like it was happening again. James was so great on the day, calm, kind, friendly we couldn't ask for more. We have been recommending him to everyone we know who is getting married, thank you James!”.
Lauren & Rowan - Priston Mill
“James recently photographed our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our special day. He is a genuinely lovely guy with a real gift behind the camera. He has such a warm and welcoming presence and worked so well with our videographer Chris Powell from KB Wedding Videography. The photos we have received so far are absolutely gorgeous and I cannot recommend James more. Thank you James, we appreciate all that you do!”
Megan & Josh - Kia Ora Gardens
“THANKS SO MUCH to James for such an excellent day!
Extremely professional, kind and friendly, fun and reliable, everyone loved him!
We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us, and we cannot recommend highly enough as a wedding photographer”.
Dani & Eva - Priston Mill
“We were thrilled to have James as our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. From the very beginning, James was more than just a photographer; he was a guide and a source of invaluable advice. His tips, advice and reminders from our engagement shoot all the way to the big day were so helpful.
On our wedding day, we faced EVERY type of weather imaginable, from bright sunshine to, clouds, sudden storms and rain. James was incredibly prepared, navigated these challenges with incredible professionalism and creativity, ensuring that each moment was captured beautifully despite the unpredictable conditions.
What truly sets James apart is his ability to adapt his style to perfectly match the venue and the overall feel of our wedding day. His understanding of light and attention to detail resulted in stunning photos that we will cherish forever.
Beyond his technical skills, James is a lovely and calming presence to have around on such an important day. Our family and friends enjoyed his company, and he made everyone feel at ease. We feel incredibly lucky to have had James there to capture our special day, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.”
Beth & Tom - Bishops Palace Wedding & Events Venue
“My wife and I had the most the most perfect day and now we can look back on it for the rest of our lives thanks to James's incredible photos. He totally knew when to step in or step back, and multiple people have told us how great he was on the day, and how beautiful our photos are. We would 100% recommend James for your special day!”
Ali & Alex - Folly Farm Centre
“James is an amazing wedding photographer and a key vendor for us to have secured for our big day.
Communication leading up to the event was great, and then on the day James was friendly and perfectly balanced the unobtrusive photographer getting those candid shots with the commanding photographer rallying the guests when needed! Most importantly James is such a good guy, conscientious in his approach and takes pride in his work.
Our "sneak peek" photos are incredible and we're so excited to see the rest, which I know will be prompt and to such a high standard!
Would 100% recommend booking James for your wedding or event - you won't regret it!”
Amy & James - Cornwall Marquee Wedding
“James was fantastic! We had 2 wedding days, and he managed to capture both days perfectly! From the moment of booking over a year in advance right up until the day, James was kind, friendly and kept in touch throughout which is great when your booking so far in advance. On the day he was very professional and made us all feel at ease - I would 100% recommend him to anyone however big or small the event”.
Josie & Jonny - Somerset Marquee Wedding
“We contacted James to do the photography for our wedding day and right from the first time we had contact it was clear that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. James is a professional and it's clear that it's also his passion as he carries out his job methodically. We were so lucky to have found him.
We wanted someone who would capture the soul of our wedding and he did exactly that. Nothing overly posed, the day was relaxed and fun, which he captured perfectly. It was a day full of family, friends, so much laughter, tons of love, plenty of dancing and James was there for all of it. The lighting, framing, character and life of each photo was what I had been dreaming of. The sort of photos that are timeless and our family and friends will look back on and suddenly be transported back to the day.
We can't recommend James enough – he is not just a photographer but a true artist and a fantastic person to have on your special day.”
Ruth & Carmelo - No.4 Clifton Village
“We first contacted James back in the summer of 2023 whilst in the thick of wedding planning. In what was a pretty stressful time, we were instantly relieved to have found a photographer that not only understood what we were looking for but also made us feel comfortable and relaxed (we’re not the ‘smile for the camera’ type)!
James continued to stay in contact throughout the lead up to our big day with video calls, emails and through WhatsApp. The video calls really helped us to get to know how James worked and James to get to know us as a couple.
On the day itself, James arrived at the venue early, scoping out good areas for photos and capturing some incredible moments of the girls getting ready in the bridal suite.
Throughout the entire day (it was a long one), James was amazing. He somehow managed to put everyone at ease and, after a few formal photos, we hardly noticed having our pictures taken. He also fit in like he was one of the family, laughing with the guests, joking with our kids and giving us some encouragement when it was time for couples photos. He even stayed later than planned to capture the father-daughter dance.
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for more. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect photographer for our day!
Thankyou James for capturing so many beautiful memories for our family. They will be forever cherished”.
Dan & Jess - Webbington Hotel & Spa
“Wow! James went above and beyond for our wedding! Even endured a trek down the side of a cliff just to make sure we got the best photos possible! Woke up the morning after the wedding to stunning hero shots! 4 weeks later and the pictures are back already with the most gorgeous personalised box and prints! James felt more like a guest with how quickly he connected with everyone and how comfortable he made us all feel! Now we can remember the day with the most beautiful pictures and cannot thank James enough!”
Toya & Simon - Sandy Cove Hotel
“James was the most amazing photographer at our wedding. In the days leading up he messaged us a few times to reassure us about the weather as there was a named storm due on the day. He showed us amazing photos he had taken of other couples in the rain. He was calm throughout the day but managed to get the guests in place to take photos at the right time to avoid the rain. The photos are beautiful and he really listened to what we asked for. I would highly recommend him.”
Lottie & Sam - Glastonbury Wedding & Events Venue
“WOW! What can we say about James….
He went above and beyond to capture our day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined.
He fitted in seamlessly, and a lot of the time we didn’t even know he was there.
His eye for detail is absolutely incredible and just from the ‘hero shots’ he has sent us so far we can see how talented he is. As soon as we woke up from our big day they were already sat waiting in our inbox for us to look through… which was such a great touch!
James is extremely friendly and all our guested complimented his lovely and warm manner.
His passion for photography is clear and I would absolutely encourage you to book him as your photographer.”
Kirsty & Will - No.4 Clifton Village
“We cannot recommend James enough. He managed to perfectly capture the essence of our wedding without feeling like you were being followed by a camera. He was so relaxed and put us at ease. We absolutely love our photos!”
Natalie & Roger - Family Garden Wedding
“Oh my!!! The photos are so special! You were amazing. Thank you so much for being our wedding photographer. Pete loved you and honestly the photos are amazing.”
Jazz & Peter - Sandy Cove Hotel
“I highly recommend James for your wedding photography needs! Our pictures far exceeded our expectations and James makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He captures all the special moments throughout the day and does so in a very professional manner. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to be there on our day capturing our wedding!”
