About

Since 2017 I've had the pleasure of working with couples both local and international coming to Hawai'i to celebrate their celebration of love through visual story telling by capturing candid, intimate and genuine moments. I'm blessed to continually work with couples who want to express the love they share through beautiful photos and creating core memories that they can cherish for a lifetime.

My approach with couples is being incredibly involved through every step and process of their wedding. Whatever you might have planned for your wedding day, I want to be there to capture it in all it's entirety to show off all of the beauty, the chaos, the uniqueness of it all that epitomizes exactly what you have in mind for your wedding day.

Wedding photography done right!

James was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He was very communicative in the weeks leading up to the event and worked around our wedding schedule. He arrived early, scoped out interesting spots at the venue for shots, and was ready to go as soon as we arrived. He was extremely personable. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting us on James's professionalism and friendliness. He did a great job accommodating requests for group shots and taking plenty of candid photos. He was firm but nice about making sure we got specific shots (e.g., sunset photos). The photos were delivered shortly after the wedding and are of the highest quality. Many of our family and friends have used his photos in their holiday cards. We strongly recommend James for your wedding!

Amazing Wedding Photographer

James was amazing to work with. I would book him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend his services. He was easy to communicate with pre wedding, and was very professional at the wedding. He made us feel at ease when taking the photos. Gave us direction on how to pose to get a good shot, worked around the wind messing up people hair, and told guest to take off trucker hats or sun glasses if they were ruining the shot. My husband hates smiling and posing for photos, and even he like the experience and how the photos of him came out. I appreciated all the little things he did to make the photos magnificent and our wedding day enjoyable.

He also got us some of the edited photos a few days after the wedding, so we could order thank you cards fast, and all the polished photos were available 1 month after the wedding. Very fast turn around.

I was able to share the photos with all the guest, and many of them complimented me on what a good photographer James was, in capturing the fun candid moments and true joy on peoples faces. Everyone was very impressed.

Such a joy!

I am so grateful that I found you. I was in a predicament with my first photographer not being able to meet my needs for the previously agreed upon price. So with 1 month to go until the wedding, I was frantic trying to find a good fit, and James was the perfect match!

We loved how much care and consideration he showed when we were doing our first look. We had amazing tender photos of us together, and were able to get multiple shots with all the different locations around our venue to give us a full wall of memories.
My family was so happy to get some larger family photos, a serious challenge with of all the kids involved. And we were able to get a bunch of fun shots of different groups together, just being our rambunctious selves. We had a shot list that was completed so quickly, my husband and I had a few moments of peaceful down time before the big entrance. Thank goodness for all the energy and joy that kept everyone smiling and willing to go the distance.

We love the candid shots too. So many precious moments that were caught by James and the second photographer, more then we hoped for. And we did a fun exit with glowing sticks that looks so cool, a fun tunnel of light. It was awesome to have a photographer that could match and catch the energy of the crowd.
Can’t say enough amazing things!

Exceptional service provided by a talented individual

Working with James was such a dream! My husband and I are a little shy in front of the camera, but he was able to get us comfortable and smiling in no time. He captured our ceremony and moments after so well. His passion and outgoing personality shine through, so you definitely won’t regret hiring him.

Best Photographer I Could Ask For

Jimmy is a close friend and has been there for us since the beginning! His photography is amazing and I fully trusted him with artistic direction and gave him full control. Without him I would’ve been a nervous wreck as well! Thanks Jimmy for the amazing photos and memories!

Best photographer on the ISLAND!

My husband and I have been good friends with Jimmy for a very long time. He has always been good with capturing the best moments! And that is why we have chosen him as our photographer for pretty much all the events up until our wedding! He also has good direction and communicate well with me and others while shooting for our wedding and everyone had a great time working with him! I am so happy and proud of how far Jimmy has come with his photography career and I wish him all the best!
