Wedding Photography For Couples Who Don't Like Having Their Photograph Taken

Natural Wedding Photographer Based in Sheffield, available for wedding photo with video covering most of the UK

"The photographer to have if you don't like having your photo taken!

James was really lovely and professional.

He fit into the day perfectly and was not imposing in the slightest."

Beautiful, natural photos of things that really happened

Just like most of the couples I photograph, I don’t particularly like having my photo taken. I feel uncomfortable and end up putting on a weird fake smile.

Wedding photos should be real smiles and genuine happiness, so I take the time to let people be themselves, and that really shows in the photos.

Everyone is happy, relaxed and genuinely enjoying their time in front of the camera.

To be honest, for the majority of your wedding day you won’t even know I’m around.

No posing, no fake smiles, no pressure.

What you’ll get

You’ll definitely get some natural portraits to hang on the wall.

You’ll also get hundreds of photos of you and your guests having an amazing day.

If you book me for photo and video then you’ll get at least 800 photos of your wedding day plus a 5 minute highlights film.

Most importantly, you’ll get a photographer who will quietly get on with capturing memories without you really noticing.

Wedding Day Highlight Films

The couples who choose me as their wedding photographer want their wedding day captured with as little fuss as possible.

Quite often they like the idea of having a little video to complement their wedding photos, but don’t necessarily want all the extra complications of adding a team of videographers into the mix.

I capture highlight films myself whilst I’m taking photos, meaning you’re getting photos and a video and still only have one person to ignore.

"James is quite simple bloody amazing!

Me and my husband aren’t fans of having our photos taken and we spent a long time before the wedding researching what was out there as we wanted to ensure we captured the events of the day as naturally as possible.

James is your guy he’s ace he blends in, you wouldn’t know he is there most of the time."

As Featured In...

All of these amazing publications have featured my wedding photos at least once.

"James is a phenomenal photographer to work with.

His relaxed approach means you forget all about been photographed and nothing is posed or faked, everything looks so natural.

His pictures turned out amazing.

He’s a really sweet guy, nothings too much."

Natalie & Gareth

James is an amazing photographer, we realised this after having our engagement shoot photos sent through!

This confirmed how we felt and made us so much more excited to take him to Italy with us for our wedding in May.

The professionalism was on point but yet James became one of our friends on the trip! Everyone felt comfortable with him around and the pictures are just amazing!!

Would recommend him to anyone! I want to show our pictures off to the world and that's all down to James! Thank you! Xx

James genuinely cares about providing and delivering the best service to ensure your big day is captured and one to remember.

He's so impressive with his duty of care and all the time he offers in the build up to the wedding, during the day and even after the event providing amazing value for money.

He's very reliable, creative, dynamic, organised, fun and a really nice person with great energy we are so happy we had him at our wedding.

Everyone else after payment disappeared but James has continued a month later sending emails related to the day, offers for other guests and amazing added features his service is second to none!!

James recently photographed our wedding and not only were the results fantastic, but he was great to work with.

James is unassuming and his documentary style means he captures great shots without being at all intrusive or in your face.

If you’re looking for a nice guy who takes good photos then he’s your man.

He had all the essentials the bridal party needed too when we were getting ready.

There is absolutely nothing even remotely negative I can say about James and the work he produces.

We had the pleasure of spending 2 days with him for our wedding and also had an 'engagement shoot' prior and we couldn't have felt more comfortable or at ease with him.

Everyone at the wedding praised him, and he's just a genuinely lovely guy.

You hear a lot when booking wedding photography that 'you get what you pay for', but with James you get so much more.

Hopefully, we'll see James again in the future!

My wife and I chose JLM photography for our wedding and we could not be happier with the results. We felt at ease with James, he’s a genuine guy who loves photography.

James answered all our questions and made us feel at ease with the whole process, his professionalism made the whole wedding planning easier.

The photos we received from James are amazing, his style is natural and we loved it. He took any photo we asked for, it felt very normal that he was there taking the photos, he fitted right in with the day. We received some sneak peak photos within 24 hours which was amazing, we then received all the photos within 2 weeks!

We could not recommend James more, we definitely will be recommending him to our friends!
