Getting things just right and ensuring your day goes off with the only hitch being you and your partner is important. Fortunately, James Jagger is well-versed in how to make our wedding photography as little hassle as possible.

Pre-wedding day meet up and photoshoot.

Some don’t like being in front of a camera. Even when surrounded by friends and family, in a comfortable space, not everyone is happy. This is why James will meet up with you before your wedding day and run through your plans of how you want things to be.

**A pre-weddding day photoshoot should help you get comfortable and allay any anxiety.**

James will also conduct a pre-wedding photoshoot to help alleviate any nerves you have free of charge. This is also a chance to figure out what suits the bride and groom in terms of types of shot and lighting. It’s also a chance to get to know James.

Wedding photography friends.

We just mentioned this but James will endeavour to be your wedding photography friend. As a photographer, he’ll be privy to some intimate moments. So it’s key you’re happy and comfortable around each other.

Ever professional James is friendly, approachable and amenable.

Communication is also another important point. James is approachable, amenable and friendly definitely. And he’s also able to communicate and help guide you through your wedding photography plans. Being as experienced as he is for those not sure James will probably have a good idea of how to make things work efficiently.

James will blend in, but be in the movement when needed.

As we’ve already said not everyone appreciates having a camera pointed in their direction. But fear not as James is discreet and can blend in. This makes capturing those natural shots is all the more likely. And natural wedding photography shots look great when being reminisced over.

**James can blend in but will be right there when needed.**

Equally, if there’s a call for James to be on hand and in the moment he will be. Sometimes guests need cajoling. James is happy to do this and has done so many times before. One example is enticing your group onto the dance in the evening.

Efficiency is key.

Through all parts of the process James Jagger’s efficiency shines through. He’s efficient during the day but also with the post-production part of the wedding photography job. The bride and groom will receive a wedding shoot highlights reel within 24 hours. Thereby having something to look at in a quick amount of time.

Getting the final, delivered wedding photos to you then takes a little while longer but is also ready promptly. Again, the highlights reel extra is something you wouldn’t be charged for.

**Professional efficieny is par for teh course with James Jagger.**

An eye for the shot and the right camera gear to make it happen.

As well as having the right camera gear - which is important for sharp, clear and dynamic photos - James’ experience lends him a great eye for what a good shot is. Part of James’ other photography work is being part of the Alamy Live News team which gives him a unique photojournalist edge.

Documentary-style photography is bread and butter for James. And these skills are directly transferable to wedding photography. After all, what we’re talking about with wedding photography is indeed documenting an important event. Your important event!
