Since booking James last year he has been fantastic. From having pre engagement shoots to give us a taster what was in store to the big day, to the lead up grabbing a coffee and sitting down to see exactly what we wanted and making sure he captured it all. James certainly did that and more, he was amazing to work with and made everyone feel so at ease throughout the day, we enjoyed the craic! We received our sneak peak during the wedding and they speak for themselves they turned out incredible we could not of asked for better! Thank you so much for everything James you were amazing.

KIND WORDS

WHAT MY COUPLES ARE SAYING

We had a fantastic experience having James as our wedding photographer

The photographs we received from our pre wedding shoot and our wedding day are absolutely beautiful. His incredible attention to detail make for absolutely stunning photographs.

Erin & Niall

“ James made us feel more relaxed and comfortable as we had never done anything like this before

We just knew the wedding day with be unreal and the bridal party were going to love him. The wedding morning, day and night – no matter where we were James created a vision for his shots and back-drops it was honestly such a laugh.

Claire & Michael

“During the day he gave us a sneak peek of some of the amazing photos he captured, we were blown away.

James was a professional from the start and on the day he added to the craic of the day and was very easy to work with, particularly helpful for my husband who was nervous about the photo experience.
