Talented, amazing, and the kindest photographers

James and his wife Katie were an absolute pleasure to have photographing our wedding day! Not only do they keep things organized based on a timeline but they are great at going with the flow and capturing special moments. They felt like one with the family! Always making us laugh, keeping nerves down, and being present. They are the kindest family and only want the best for the wedding couple. Their end photos were beautiful! Not only did we receive them earlier than expected but each one was more breathtaking than the last. Thank you for capturing our day!

Great Wedding Experience

We originally had a 2020 wedding package but they were very flexible in finding a way to split our package into our 2 new dates that we chose to have a ceremony and celebration!

Amazing!

James and Katie are the best! They are so kind and genuine and you can feel that they want to capture your wedding as perfect as possible! I am the OCD type of person and really am particular on the small details. They hit every small detail perfectly! The photos are clear and bright with good contrast! There were no fly away hairs and they made sure our outfits always laid perfectly! James and Katie make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I am so glad I had them as my wedding photographers because they did above and beyond at capturing all the important details of the day as well as the emotions we felt that day. We will have these photos to forever look back on and be reminded of how much love we have for each other. Again, I would highly recommend James and Katie!

The Stokes are the best wedding photographers! They captured our day beautifully AND helped with so many things before & during our wedding. Before, they helped us make a timeline and checked in many times to ensure everything was all set. On our wedding morning, James folded my husband's & some of the groomsmen’s pocket squares, and put my husband’s boutonniere on him. My husband even said James was more helpful than some of his groomsmen! Katie stayed with us girls while we got ready. She captured the moments without us noticing and was great company and fun to talk to! We had a church ceremony, and they stayed at a respectful distance while capturing every moment perfectly. During the family photo session, they did a great job getting everyone arranged and took photos in which everyone looked good. After those, we went to our reception venue where they took awesome photos of us with our bridal party and of the two of us. I’m still not sure how they did it, but they managed to give us and our bridal party 20 minutes before group photos to take a break in the A/C and get drinks, and they finished all the photo sessions 45+ minutes earlier than planned, so we got to go to our cocktail hour! However, they didn’t miss any photo opportunities and gave us 1000+ pictures. After dinner, we went outside for sunset photos. Some of my favorite photos came from that time, so if you can do sunset photos, I highly recommend it! Throughout the entire day, they remained patient, upbeat, and accommodating to whatever we wanted to do. After our wedding, we received all of our photos in an online gallery within three weeks. If you're planning your wedding and get the chance to book James and Katie, you need to do it! Your wedding day goes by so fast and they capture all the big and little moments so you can relive it! James and Katie are truly the best wedding photographers and will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is even more perfect than you’re dreaming it will be!

James and Katie are an incredible team! Both of them made us feel very relaxed and at ease during all of our conversations and photo shoots. Our engagement shoot with James was very fun! He captured some of the best moments of my husband and I and the pictures are phenomenal. We were also pleasantly surprised when they were edited and back to us within such a short amount of time! Our wedding day was unfortunately very hot and the ceremony was outside, James took into account of all of that and did a great job at making sure that we were comfortable and had a great backdrop at the same time. They both ensured that they captured every special moment of our wedding day and we cannot thank them enough for that! James and Katie were both so laid back and fun to be around, they truly felt like close friends that we were celebrating our wedding with! We would recommend them to anyone for any photo event!

Our experiences with James and Katie have been absolutely fantastic! The only thing I would change is the fact that it rained not only during our Engagement Session, but all day on our Wedding Day as well...work on that next time, will ya, James and Katie? :) Joking aside, they were so positive, organized, flexible, and genuinely excited to be with us, we hardly noticed the rain. Our photos turned out incredible and they made the entire experience a delight. One of the guys in our bridal party even said, "I usually hate getting my picture taken, but that was actually really fun" as we wrapped up taking group photos on our wedding day. James and Katie nailed it!! Thank you again for everything - we cherish the memories you captured more than we can explain!

James and Katie bring such a positive vibe to your wedding day. Throughout the whole process they were responsive and accommodating. We are so happy with our engagement photos and wedding photos, which were delivered in a timely fashion and always very professionally (great packaging!). We got SO many good photos that I'll be able to use for years to come and I'll be happy to hang on our walls. Our guests complimented the photos a lot as well. I would definitely recommend James and Katie for superior photography but also as a kind and calming presence throughout the whole process.

Can't praise James, Katie, and Courtney enough! They are amazing to work with and are the best at capturing the day! They are so much fun and know how to make you relax and smile. Always making sure you are comfortable and doing ok. Our wedding day was like 90 degrees and sunny, and they were always making sure we were staying hydrated and felt ok. And the pictures they take are breath taking! Although I don't like to admit this, I probably have a little OCD and was extremely picky with all of our vendors - the Stokes were perfect! I am so happy to have found them, I wouldn't want anyone else! Highly highly recommend! Everyone told me that spending the money on an awesome photographer is worth it....and they are totally right! The day flew by so fast, so having those memories to look back on is wonderful! And to have them done with such care, love, and expertise is like the cherry on top! Can't rave enough!!

James is one of THE most kind and caring people we have ever met! We truly cannot say enough genuinely wonderful things about his optimistic and compassionate personality. Apply that to a portrait session or wedding day, and you are sure to feel absolutely at ease in front of his camera -- which cannot be over stated when someone is documenting your most important memories!! And this is the reason he is able to capture REAL moments and REAL emotions so beautifully! We are so grateful to have James as a peer and friend in the photography industry and already look forward to the next time we can get together :) -Kelsy & Butch McCartney of The McCartneys Photography, www.meetthemccartneys.com
