Lake District Wedding Photographer

About Me

Hello!

Welcome to my page.

I am a wedding photographer in The Lake District Cumbria.

Covering The Lake District, Northumberland & South-West Scotland.

I have lived in the UK’s beautiful Lake District for many years, and the area holds a special place in my heart. Originally from the South-East of England, I moved here in my early 20’s and never looked back. I earned my degree and have been employed within the field of computer sciences for many years.




Photography has always been a passion of mine, I really enjoy bringing creations to life, and photographing weddings is very much a favorite. I feel truly honored to be able to capture the love my couples feel for each other and getting to know their story.

As a Lake District Wedding Photographer we are surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK, and blessed to have some of the most stunning wedding venues on our doorstep. I consider myself very lucky.

It is very special to see my couples enjoy their day with their family and closest friends, and then relive the magic again through the timeless photo’s I create.

Life is a journey….

Having a photographer who can connect with you, and document the very best of that journey for you, will provide memories to treasure in the years to come.

I would be honored to be part of your journey!

How I work!

I start by getting to know you and your partner so that I can understand your vision for your wedding. Then, I’ll be there on your big day to document everything from the getting ready to the first dance. I’ll use my natural & off camera light skills to capture the beauty of your dress & the surroundings, and I’ll be there to capture all of the little details that make your day special. After your wedding, I’ll edit your photos to bring out their natural beauty. I’ll create a custom storybook album that tells the story of your day.

KIND WORDS FROM HAPPY COUPLES

James made our wedding day very special and was attentive to our wants, accommodated additional time, and captured exactly what we were after. Thank you so much
Kevin & Claire
We had a small wedding, James was able to document our day using a subtle “out-of-sight” approach and worked in the background. We are so happy with our photo’s.
David & Ella
This truly was one of the most special days of my life. I was so very much looking forward to seeing the photo’s James took, and I was not disappointed, James captured all the details that were most important to us and the images look simply fantastic – So Happy.
Rob & Phoebe
Both my partner and I are not particularly comfortable behind the camera, and were a little self-conscious at first. James was able to put us both at ease quickly, and coached us into poses that looked really good. We are so happy with the end result!
Sarah & Peter
