Wedding and Engagement Filmmaking & Photography
When I photograph a couple, my intentions are always the same-- I want the love, passion and romance to be so obvious, and so self-evident, that no further context is needed. I like to think that photographers perform the magic of condensing entire stories down to one fleeting moment in time-- with cinematography, the result is the same, with many of these moments compiled into a video.If you like the sound of that and are open to making 2 new friends (me and my camera) contact me via the form at the end of the page – let’s create something special together!
I'd be honored to cover your wedding ceremony and reception. I take great pride in my ability to relentlessly pursue meaningful shots and precious footage, because I know the results last a lifetime.
I'm more than happy to provide photography only services-- just ask! I've been behind the camera for over 10 years now and feel comfortable in both roles, even simultaneously!
Are you planning on asking someone to marry you? AWWW :)I'd love to be on hand to cover your engagement.
Hi, I'm James :)
First let me say thank you for being here! It's really special that so many of you consider me to be your photographer or videographer for such momentous occasions. I've been a photographer for over 10 years now, shooting everything under the sun. My mom likes to say that I've been a photographer since birth, because at a very young age I developed the habit of stealing any and all point and shoot disposable cameras during our family vacations-- and using up all the film myself.In a way you could say it was great training for the honest, candid and authentic themes I hope to portray through my work... except now I've grown up a bit and the shots are no longer taken from a 3 ft. vantage point :)
Nice Things People Have Said
Real reviews from real people :)
10 outta 10 service!
Great pricing for an amazingly produced video and pictures! Excellent style of photography blending both staged photos and photos capturing individual moments among friends and family!
A+T, Married Couple
LET'S SHOOT
MY PROCESS
I'D BE HONORED TO CAPTURE WHAT I HOPE ARE SOME OF YOUR FONDEST MEMORIES.
Nothing makes me happier than doing an album reveal or first viewing with a couple and seeing their eyes light up as they relive one of the happiest days of their lives.If you trust me to do the same for you and your love, I promise to stop at nothing to document your story through visual art.
Before you make a decision, it's important you know that I know that this is not a choice to be taken lightly. Again, this may very well be one of the happiest days of your collective lives, and I consider my duty as a photographer and cinematographer sacred in this regard. I'd like to share my process with you to give you a bit more of an idea of what it's like to work with me, to better help you determine if we are a perfect match for each other!
LET'S CHAT
Since every relationship is unique, every project you book with me will be too. I love taking the chance to get to know each couple and all the things you love about each other. I want to tell your story through our visual art, and this is my chance to learn more about that story and anything else you'd want me to know!During the pandemic I've switched to virtual meetings, but as society recovers, I will begin to consider in person meet-ups again.
THE BIG DAY
Here it is-- the moment we've all been waiting for, but of course you the most.
It's time.You're going to read the word "story" over and over because I really do mean it when I say I want to tell your love story as best as possible. My packages are priced such that I can stay and shoot until I'm absolutely sure I've captured that story as thoroughly as necessary. You don't need to worry about paying by the hour-- I'll get the shots you want, no matter what.
Time for coffee to edit
Time to apply some digital magic. I'll compile the shots and/or footage, and begin organizing and making initial selections. For photos, I'll edit the best shots (read: many hundreds worth) to their perfect form.For videos, we need to prepare the footage, blah blah, and then the actual editing-- what you probably care about-- begins. The video will be cut, graded and polished, the audio mastered, and of course, trailers for social media can be provided. 😎
Delivery!
This is the part I love the most-- when the sum total of all hours planning, shooting, and editing come to fruition, and you see the work.This part never fails to fill my heart with joy, because my tradition of attention to detail, creativity and customer service never fails to delight couples. I truly enjoy the reveal and experiencing the reaction from happy brides and grooms.Each couple will receive a free 50 pg. deluxe photo album with all wedding packages.
The Experience
The best thing about the kind of shoots I do with couples is that I really do my best to make sure it feels like we are a group of friends having a great time together. I want you to feel relaxed, confident, and free to be yourself.My work is about more than just being a portable tripod, so I'll take the time to scout the most beautiful scenes and locations available for your shoot. I'll also provide helpful tips to prepare you for your time on camera and handle as much of the logistics as possible, so you can have fun and focus on each other.I'll plan an awesome session that's perfect for you and your story, while leaving room for spontaneity, beauty, and aesthetics. Sometimes you just need to hike the extra mile to get the ocean in the background and stand outside with the wind blowing through your hair because it's pretty, and I get that, I really do.
