Hi, I'm james 👋
natural
timeless
fun
it's often said by our couples, they felt we were ''guests and friends on the day''. our relaxed approach means we're unintrusive, allowing you to spend maximum time with all your loved ones.
i have a passion for capturing authentic moments, specialising in a relaxed, candid style that reflects the essence of your special day. my goal is to create natural, timeless albums that each tell a unique story, with a more documentary, 'fly on the wall' approach, whilst also ensuring everyone feels at ease in front of the camera, from all of the intimate moments to the group shots.

Wedding Diaries Full Description
affordable luxury. my approach is more relaxed and candid style, focusing towards the documentary style - I love getting involved with the group shots and I specialise in couples that aren't necessarily comfortable in front of the camera. the result is a natural, timeless album. I use professional grade equipment with multiple lenses, providing a variety of shots. I also offer drone footage, adding further dimensions (subject to weather and venue approval). I often work alongside my wife, hannah (bride diaries). she is a wedding video content creator providing an unlimited amount of video coverage just one night after the wedding! We offer joint packages, or can be hired solo.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: James
Photography is something I have always been incredibly passionate about. You will find me with a camera in hand whenever I have a spare moment (and often when I don’t!) Before I became a wedding photographer I photographed wildlife, which I think was the perfect way to hone my skills... I'm still yet to come across a bride or groom that can move move as quickly as an eagle🦅 During my time as a wildlife photographer I learned to capture those perfect moments which can often happen in just a blin

I am so happy you got to be a part of our day of love! We love you both
I used James and Hannah for my wedding on 25th April after seeing some gorgeous shots taken at a friends wedding a year or so before. I love the fact they are a husband and wife duo as it made everything so natural and seamless as they work so well together! They are truly beautiful souls and I cannot reccommend them both enough! Having photos and content to look at the next day is really outstanding service, I don’t know any other photographers or content creators who provide such a quick service like they do! They made us all feel really at ease and I particularly loved how Hannah interacted with my 2 year old son Jude making him feel happy and getting the most precious video of him which I’ll treasure for years to come. James was also really professional and warm and they both arrived with a smile and made me feel hyped for the day ahead. I would book them over and over again, very reasonably priced too, guys honestly thank you so so much, you are both fabulous and I am so happy you got to be a part of our day of love! We love you both

You were like another friend or family member
Aww these sneak peaks are amazing! We're so excited to receive the final album! Just want to say a huge thank you to you and Hannah. You were both incredible from the very start and honestly felt as though you were another friend or family member. You made us both feel at ease and captured the most amazing content and photos of our special day. We can't wait to see the rest!

James made us all feel comfortable and we love the photos!
James is an absolutely brilliant photographer and person. He made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and the shots he captured were exactly what we were looking for. 100% recommend booking James for your wedding, you won't be disappointed! He sent us sneak peeks that we LOVED and we had amazing feedback from our family and friends on the shots captured. He's very professional, worked really well with videographer, and also an extremely lovely person. Book book book now!!

the perfect choice
Hannah was super friendly and understood exactly the vibe we were going for. We'd never heard of a wedding content creator before – were originally looking for a videographer, but money was getting tight. But Bride Diaries was the perfect choice: amazing videos we could actually share easily, plus beautiful photos, all for a great price (even with travel to Bristol). The best part? We had ALL our wedding content – videos, photos, even highlight clips – within two days! Honestly, it was so awesom
