Great decision!

James is unique in that he has a variety of packages available for wedding day photography. It was really hard to find photographers who were actually responsive and matched our budget and qualified. I'm so very happy with his work and highly recommend him. He was warm and professional and took beautiful photos of our wedding.

Best photographer ever!

James is more than just an amazing photographer, he has truly become a great friend. He goes above and beyond what the average photographer would do to get the best shots and give you the best experience!
With his pricing, skills and personality he’s is undervalued and there is no reason to book anyone other than him!

Wonderful Photos

James was as professional as they come and did an amazing job on our wedding photos! He worked with us to create a package that worked for us, made sure he really understood what type of photos we were looking for and that it was within his expertise. We wanted more action shots than staged photos and he captured so many people perfectly in their element as if he’d know all of us for years. When it came to the staged photos, they also came out incredible! The group photos look very much like they were taken in a studio and the bride and groom photos look so natural and beautiful!

Still reliving the most magical day!

I found James Lathrop on WeddingWire back in 2021 for a 2023 wedding. Something told me inside to pick him and my gut did not make a wrong choice. During wedding planning, he was responsive and he has gotten more clients since when I got him. Here comes the wedding day, he was all over the venue taking photos. I gave him a list of photos of what to take. During formal photos, he is not the stand-up straight and be stiff photographer. He captures the pure emotion from my girls being emotional to my father crying as he saw me. Each time I look back at the amazing wedding photos, it is as if the day is still here. My husband and I are still getting comments about how wonderful James is! If you pick James, you will not regret your choice at all. It is hard just to choose a few photos for this review!

James is the best!

We're the most awkward people and never take pictures and so looking for a photographer was a rough time. We loved the editing style James has and when we met him we were immediately comfortable and that made for great pictures. He was chill with our timeline on our wedding day even though I was an absolute mess and managed to capture moments I didn't even see the day of and now they're my favorite. We got our wedding pictures back in a month and I love every single one, everyone keeps complimenting us on them. 10/10 recommend!!

Fast, Friendly, Quality photos at a great price!

I can't say enough good things about James! He was easy to work with, kind, and took all of our requests to heart. He and his partner, Matt, did a fabulous job before, during, and after our wedding (at the reception). Turn around time for our photos and video was short and his editing skills are top par. We loved looking through all the photos and the wedding compilation video was AMAZING! We have had so many positive comments about the work they did. I would HIGHLY recommend James for your wedding photographer/videographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
