    AMAZING Photographer

    The best photographer ever! We hired James for my daughter’s wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Prior to the wedding he made sure to meet with us to ensure what our expectations were and what kind of pictures we wanted. He didn’t miss anything during the wedding and the pictures are absolutely AMAZING. We had the pictures back within a month of the wedding which was incredible as we were able to use them for Christmas presents. James is also very personable and fun to work with. Before he left for the night he came to ask and make sure there were no other pictures that we wanted or needed taken to ensure we had everything we wanted. His prices are absolutely reasonable and worth every single penny. We couldn’t be happier he was the photographer we chose for my daughter’s special day. Thank you for capturing such amazing memories that we’ll be able to cherish forever!

    Fantastic Wedding Photographer that captures those special moments

    James and his wife Ellie are a fantastic wedding photography couple. If you’re looking for a photographer that is going to get natural shots and not feel like they are intruding in your day, James is the artist you want. Responsive, great demeanor, and accountable to ensuring you get the shots you requested on your big day. James was really pleasurable to work with and accommodating to all requests. You need a pillar of calmness on your wedding day, and James is a great photographer at that and makes taking photos fun. You know, like you can tell when someone enjoys their art/work and making it with you, and that is what you’ll get with James. Awesome photos and moments captured. When it came to the wedding album creation, a seamless process of collaborating on it together with James, after they’ve already taken a stab at creating a photo layout for your day. Great cloud photo sharing method to easily view and download photos.

    I would absolutely recommend James to anyone

    Beautiful Photos and a Dynamic Duo

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful James and Ellie were. They come with multiple cameras and shoot from different angles so you get a wide variety of pictures. They captured every moment of my big day. I honestly think we have a picture of every guest, and every important moment. James especially was in all the action and got some fantastic candids. All of our pictures were so beautiful, and it's so hard to pick which ones we love. I really appreciate how helpful James and Ellie were. We met a few weeks before the wedding to go over the timeline and everything, and they helped us make sure we had enough time for all of our pictures. We had a lot of family portraits, and they made quick work of it. I really wanted some "golden hour" shots. The weather cooperated and they got some really cool shots as the sun was setting. They were the perfect photographers, and I can't wait to see you how the album they put together turns out. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Absolutely Stunning Work

    My husband and I were married at Saint Michaels Parish in Wheeling and had our reception at Oglebay and oh my goodness I cannot say enough excellent words about Jim and Ellie! First, their work truly speaks for itself because that is why we hired them for our wedding at Oglebay. They know the layout and the great shots to get. However, the service he and Ellie brings his beyond amazing. They are such a dynamic duo truly there to capture the special day and make memories! They listen to what types of photos you want, I laid on the ground and had leaves thrown at me, to making the experience genuine and comfortable! From the few sneak peeks of photos we have seen, I cannot wait to see more! Thank you Jim and Ellie!

    We couldn't be more happy

    I cannot say enough about the great experience we had with James. The photos were absolutely beautiful! James did an amazing job capturing every moment perfectly, and left us with an amazing snapshot in time. My wife and I had a wonderful time having our photos taken as well. If you are looking for someone to take your wedding photos, look no further!

    Professional, responsive, adaptable, and authentic - these are the words that come to mind when I think about our experience with James Carl Photography. When looking for a wedding photographer, it was important to us that we found a photographer who could expertly capture some of the most important moments of our lives, but who is also genuine and personable. That's exactly what we found in Jim and Ellie at James Carl Photography. From the first time we walked into their studio, they were welcoming and easy to get along with. They took the time to get to know us, as individuals and as a couple, and our families.

    Jim and Ellie went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable (and photographed) one. Without hesitation, Jim and Ellie agreed to travel two hours from Wheeling and spent an entire Saturday capturing our engagement photos at our home, around our neighborhood, and even at our favorite restaurant. Leading up to the wedding, Jim took the time to field several phone calls discussing the type of photographs we wanted and where we wanted to get photographs, and helped us select the picture perfect location for our wedding arch.

    On our wedding day, Jim and Ellie were professional and organized. They brought calm to the chaos by keeping us on task, rolling with the punches, and managing a large bridal party with ease. They took time to make adjustments so that each picture was captured perfectly - even a large family photograph with over 30 family members. Their creativity and professionalism resulted in breathtaking photographs.

    Throughout the entire process, Jim and Ellie were very responsive and were flexible with our schedule as out-of-towners - setting up conference calls and late-night meetings so that we could review our album. Our experience with James Carl Photography was worth every penny and an excellent value for such a personal and professional experience.

    AMAZING! This husband and wife team are incredible at capturing this most special of days. From our engagement shoot in a local cocktail bar to our wedding day, they put us at ease and really captured our style. We can't wait to put together our album!

    If you're searching for someone to capture your special day, stop searching and talk to Jim and Ellie. I really can't say enough about these two. They are fantastic human beings, incredibly easy to work with and produce amazing work. Our wedding photographer was a very important decision for me, and I could not be happier that we chose James Carl Photography. Even family members told me how nice they were and how they weren't in your face during the reception. They were incredibly flexible to meet with us before the wedding for engagement photos and for any other thing that we needed. They made sure to ask us if we had any photos we definitely wanted, such as groups of certain family members or any posed shots. We are absolutely pleased with our photos and our album. I would absolutely suggest these two to anyone I know who is looking for a reliable and enjoyable photographer.

    I always planned to 'splurge' on the choice of a photographer -- which meant that I would not be concerned only with the price, but also the quality. While Wright Image is by no means either the cheapest or most expensive vendor, they provide exceptional quality along with great customer service and flexibility. They offered a reasonable package price which included all day coverage and an engagement session at a location of our choice. Our engagement session ran a bit long but there was no complaints from Jim and his wife Ellie, who also photographs. We also met for a planning session which was very fruitful- I had taken the time to do my homework and come up with a plan, and both Jim and Ellie were very willing to go the extra mile and meet our needs and schedule.

    We were lucky enough to have one of their colleagues Neal also join us on the wedding day, and JIm, Ellie and Neil took exceptional photos throughout the day and gave us a great mix of canned classic shots and other shots of our special day. Finally, opposed to other vendors I've heard of, they provided me both a few key sample pictures within a couple of weeks, and offered a review session of the full set of images just over a month after the event, which is great timing.

    We are still designing the photobook via interactive online proofing, but I imagine it will be a great quality photobook and a heirloom which will memorialize the day exceptionally well.

    Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions to make when planning a wedding because when it is all said and done, all you have left of the day is your memories and the photographs that will preserve those memories. We knew from the first meeting we had with Jim that he was the right photographer for my daughter's wedding, and we were not disappointed. We loved his easy going personality and his photographic style and he made us feel very comfortable and at ease. He and his wife Ellie were great to work with and very accommodating to our needs. The finished photographs were just beautiful and captured all the emotions of the day. We were so pleased, not only with the quality of the photographs, but also the entire process from start to finish. Jim and Ellie were very professional and gave excellent service. We appreciated the time and effort that they devoted to our daughter's wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Wright Image Photography. They exceeded our expectations in every way and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any wedding.

    One of the most important decisions you will make while planning a wedding is selecting a photography, these are the memories you will cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Wright Images as your wedding photographer. They are extremely creative, professional and caring. My favorite thing is the photo book they made for us, we love looking through the photos- it takes us back to that special day! My husband and I love looking at our photographs, and cannot thank Wright Images enough for providing us with these beautiful memories.

    Jim and his wife Ellie run Wright Image Photography. They went absolutely above and beyond in every sense of the manner. Our engagement photos were flawless! Their helpful planning before the wedding helped our wedding go off without a hitch. The photos were absolutely beautiful and we would completely recommend them again. They were wonderful to work with and very professional. They will travel anywhere around WV or the Pittsburgh area!

    Wright Image Photography captured every moment of the best day of my life. Jim and Ellie were professional, artistic, edgy and were willing to work with my husband and I to capture moments that were special to us. I would recommend Wright Image Photography to any couple that wants photos to remember for a lifetime. When I look at my photo book and printed photography, I am able to relive the moment I said "I do" . You CANNOT go wrong with Wright Image Photography!
