Ah ha! You were fooled.

But in fairness… I am a huge fan of iced coffees. ☕️

So now that you’ve clicked the link and found your way here… If you’ve seen my reels, love my work, and are thinking “he might just be our guy”  then you’re in the right place.

As you scroll, you’ll find:
A little bit about me
Kind words from some of my lovely couples
A free wedding guide (perfect if you’re still in the early planning stages)
A contact form at the bottom if you’d like to reach out and chat about your wedding plans.

One of my favourite parts of this whole experience is meeting couples for a coffee (an iced latte for me, of course). It’s the perfect chance for us to get to know each other properly and see if I’m the right photographer for you both. I’ll bring along a wedding album for you to look through, talk you through my approach to weddings, and answer any questions you might have.

HEY, I’M JAMES, THE GUY BEHIND THE CAMERA.

 

__

A documentary-style wedding photographer based in Derry, with an eye for genuine moments and a knack for making even the camera-shy crack a smile. I picked up a camera in 2014 to document my wee girl growing up, and by 2017, I was capturing weddings—now there’s nothing I love more. I’m all for the relaxed romantic & the fun-loving couples who want their wedding photographs to bring them right back to how it all felt.

Reviews

Honest | While Craic | From The Heart

We are so glad we picked James as our wedding photographer, my partner has a real hatred of getting photos taken but James was incredibly patient, positive and organised with us at every step to ensure that we got the photos we wanted with as little stress as possible. Thank you so much! James was really quick sending over loads of preview images which we were completely thrilled with.

From the very first conversation with James we knew we wanted him to be our photographer! Hes the most chilled super fun person to be around, really made us feel so comfortable, we chose the package which included the pre wedding photoshoot and they turned out absolutely brilliant, we couldn’t wait to see him again for our wedding day photos! He even gave us a preview on our wedding night which we loved! James took me and my husband away for a few minutes throughout the day to let us both just take it all in. James standard of photography is next to none! I would highly recommend him, in fact we are gonna get him booked in for future photoshoots! 5* thanks for everything James!

James made things happen by absolute magic, orchestrated photos and people to where they needed to be and did this in such a perfect manner. Even when I was feeling overwhelmed he recognised this and give me and my husband time to take it all in and not rush us, he captured pure magic. James was a joy and an absolute pleasure to have around and so many of my guests commented on how lovely he was. I am sure James does weddings nearly every week but it is so clear he gives 110% every time it clearly shows in his work. He captured our personality and style and relationship perfectly and tells our love story so beautifully.
