"It's tough to find the words to describe how amazing James is. We had him photograph our wedding in San Francisco. Our ceremony was in a beautiful church and our reception was at the Westin, and we also took the wedding party around on a trolley in between. James truly captured every moment and I have never seen photos so stunning. My family and friends said that the photographs look like a Vogue magazine! James truly cares about you, and he left no detail untouched. He blew me away with aerial shots from way up in the church, and captured so many joyous moments of laughter at our wedding. He nailed our indoor shots and blew me away with the outdoor ones he captured. He also caught all the perfect candid moments with me and my husband as well as our guests. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"I have never seen photos so stunning!"
"We booked James for a family portrait session and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Having your photo taken can often feel awkward but James helped us let our guard down and feel comfortable. James was great with our almost 2-year old son, as well. He was incredibly patient with him and did a great job making my son laugh and look at the camera. My wife and I were really impressed. Not only did the photo shoot go better than expected, but our photos were absolutely stunning! After sharing many of them online I had so many people tell me how much they liked them. Months later, I still have people telling me they saw my family photos and were blown away by them. My wife and I couldn't agree more."

"When choosing our wedding photographer, it took me a lot of time to find a photography portfolio I really liked and I'm so glad to have stumbled onto James' website. His eye for composition and his technical expertise shines through in all of our photos, and we really appreciated the posing guidance during our photo sessions to help make us awkward non-models look good in our photos! He was also extra accommodating to our constantly changing plans both due to COVID and last minute hiccups on the day of our photoshoot. Thank you James for your amazing work!"
