James Shaw Photography

We used James and also a second photographer Stu who was employed by James at our request for our recent wedding and I have to say our photos are amazing. The group/formal photos were organised with minimal fuss and absolutely no disruption to the day. The majority of the photos were taken without us even knowing either of the photographers were there. Having heard a couple of horror stories recently about people not getting good photographs (from other photographers) I was more than delighted with every single one of the 730 photos James presented to us. They are absolutely AWESOME. We literally cannot stop looking at them. James and Stu what talented men you are! I'm already trying to think of an excuse for a photo shoot. Loved having you both share our day - it was like having an extra couple of guests. I think everyone was sad to see you leave!

To choose a photographer to capture our wedding day in a way that would be everything we wanted and strike a chord with our guests was going to be a challenge. BUT, my goodness James over delivered on this!!!! We asked him to take literally a few photographs that we could have - but he went way above and beyond. The relaxed manner and calmness he exuded on the day, putting everyone at their ease was like nothing any of us experienced before. His attention to detail and capturing the moments we could never have seen was unbelievable - James has an eye for the special quality moments, putting us at our ease, almost as though he wasn't even there. Words and reviews are cheap, but this man has delivered in bucketfuls. We have absolutely no hesitation in leaving a review. There is no risk or fear in getting it "wrong" with James. Quality, quality......quality....!! Thank you James - we will be forever in your debt. Alan & Maxine

I cannot recommend James enough. He has been an absolute dream to work with. As soon as we booked James we had regular correspondence and he made us feel very at ease with everything. The pre engagement shoot was such good fun and got us warmed up in preparation for the big day. On the day James was amazing, very calm and just got on with things, snapping away in the background but also directing for the more formal shots. We are delighted with the finished product the photos are stunning they really have captured every moment of the day. we couldn't be happier. Most of all James is a really lovely and down to earth guy and the perfect choice of photographer for the biggest and best day your life.

James was our wedding photographer in December and I cannot recommend him enough! From the pre-shoot, communication running up to the day and the wedding itself he really goes that extra mile. Our photos are beautiful and we love the way he captured all the small details. All our guests have commented on his professional yet relaxed and fun manner. The weather wasn’t on side for our day but James did everything he could to make the photos outside as quick and calm as possible whilst still making everyone laugh! For me personally, I wouldn’t have got through the morning without him. Between taking shots he was running round after us all, communicating with the venue and nothing we asked of him was too much. James was not only our photographer that day but also felt like the wedding coordinator and a guest making a real effort with us and our families. If you are considering James as your photographer- do it! You will not be disappointed 😊

James was very professional from start to finish and really Made our wedding day special. The photos are absolutely beautiful. He made us and all the guests feel at ease and nothing was to much for him he really did do an amazing job we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We would highly recommend James as the build up to the day was very stressful as you can imagine, he kept us informed with everything that he would be doing from start to finish and we couldn’t thank him enough.
