Pre-wedding day meet up and photoshoot.

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.

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.

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.
