I’m James, a proud Yorkshireman. I’m borderline addicted to Yorkshire Tea, possibly the worlds biggest fan of The Sopranos, a geeky Formula 1 nerd, I’m always planning a holiday (with New York being my favourite city in the world, as it’s where I proposed), an 80’s movie geek, chief bin putter-outer, pizza lover, husband to my beautiful wife Laura and dad to my two cute, funny and often brutally harsh girls, Ana and Jaime.

I’ve taken the long way to being a wedding film maker, with stints in a boring office job before 10 years as a front line police officer and then a huge career switch to a wedding photographer. Once in the world of weddings I made the move from photography to wedding film maker. 

Since starting out 12 years ago, I’ve now shot over 450 weddings all over the world (including France, Tuscany, Ibiza, Las Vegas and New York), I’ve hosted workshops to help other wedding photographers make the move over to filming and have won a number of awards along the way, including the coveted 2023 Wedding Industry Awards North West Wedding Videographer of the Year. I absolutely love making wedding films and it never, ever, feels like a job. 

We live in a white house on a hill in Saddleworth, right on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire.  I’m happy to travel anywhere to shoot a wedding.
