Hi, I'm James, and I am here to provide you with the most elegant and artistic photography for your wedding day. You will find my newly updated pricing schedule to be as flexible as you are - and, I always throw in some extras! You and I will work together to discuss the style, or combination of styles that you prefer. As a versatile photographer, I can shoot formal and casual, photo-journalistic, artistic... we can do staged shots that you may have in mind, so feel free to express what you want your photos to look like.
Pricing
You'll find my prices easily fit your needs - I simply charge by the hour (2 hour minimum), which gets cheaper as the day grows...

Fully Digital, Fully Equiped
To answer some common questions that are often asked, I shoot with Canon professional equipment that is entirely digital: a 40D camera, with a 30D as backup, a variety of lenses, and Canon's most powerful flash unit. This means reliability, quick delivery of your pictures, and complete digital post-processing capabilities. This is where the real value comes in... I am experienced and trained in Adobe Photoshop™ - a program used to adjust, edit, and beautify photographs for optimal aesthetic impact. Click here for an example. I am a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography.
Personal and Friendly Service
It would be my honour as owner of James Photography to be part of your special day, and as your photographer, you have my personal guarantee of courteous, sensitive, and friendly service. Each wedding I photograph is an exciting experience for me, as I love capturing the love and joy shared during such a special day. I look forward to hearing from you... And like I say - life is short, so live it big!
