If you’re looking for a DC area wedding photographer, stop and book James immediately! We really liked his portfolio online, and knew after our first online conversation with him that he was the photographer we wanted to work with. He was really thoughtful in sending us sample galleries from weddings that were similar in venue and style to what we were planning. He was great at communicating about details prior to the wedding, even scouting out potential alternate locations when the forecast showed a chance of rain. On the day itself, James was wonderful. He provided just the right amount of direction while putting everyone at ease and getting a great array of candid shots and special moments. I still don’t know how he manages to get so many different angles and shots by himself during the ceremony. We also love the video slideshow he did with the photos and speeches. The stunning photos from our wedding capture moments we’ll cherish forever and we can’t thank James enough and recommend him more highly!

James did our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we could not have been happier! He was wonderful to work with and the photos are incredible. I was worried about photographers who get in the way (especially during the ceremony) or stress brides out by constantly asking them to pose, but James and his assistant were perfect. We 100% recommend him for anyone looking for a fun, laid-back photographer who can take amazing photos!

James was a joy to work with in the lead-up to our big day. He was patient with my now-husband and I as we warmed up for the camera (quite literally on a cold late fall day) for our engagement photos, which turned out to be spectacular. And our wedding photos the next summer were nothing short of perfect. We did not have a formal wedding party, which meant there was more time for candid photos of guests. This allowed James' real talent to shine, as he is a master at capturing the emotion of the moment. He also took care to note the charming details of our historic venue and the decorations. It's been a couple of weeks since we received the photos and it's been incredibly heartwarming to relive that joyous event every time we go through them. The value could not be surpassed. Many thanks to James and his assistant for their masterful work in capturing these memories!
