David James Photography

Whoa! No. Not at all. Pretty much everyone says exactly that. My job is to help you feel relaxed, not turned into statues. No weird poses, no pressure, just you two, being yourselves. The best photos come from real moments, not forced icky posey ones! I just want to capture the energy of the day as it is. Consider me pretty much a party guest with a fancy camera who totally loves capture all the feels.

I don’t hold back. For a full day, you’ll usually get 900+ images (give or take). I deliver everything that’s good. If it makes you laugh, cry, or fist-pump your screen—it's in. I actually tend to over deliver, so expect heaps of goodies.

You’ll get a little sneak peek within a few days (because I know you’ll be buzzing), and the full gallery within 6–8 weeks. I’ll keep you posted along the way so you’re never wondering.

Yep! Based in Marlborough but always in adventure mode. I generally travel quite a bit, and can offer custom packages to suit your needs and wants.

OMG YES! I am a total timeline ninja. Totally. I’m not just here to take photos—I’m also here to help you breathe. Need advice on when to do the ceremony for best light? Which vendor to trust with your florals? I got you.

Honestly? Rainy weddings are lowkey magic. I’ve got clear umbrellas, backup ideas, and a calm, “we got this” attitude. Some of the dreamiest shots come with a little drizzle. But seriously, I have done this job in tornadoes and blizzards, and I believe it's all about embracing the energy that Mother Nature gives us. And it's all about attitude for me! We got this!

Hells to the yeah. Yes please. Whether it’s a Zoom, a phone chat, or a coffee in town, it’s always good to vibe-check each other and talk through the day. I want this to feel easy and fun from the start.

Easy as. Drop me a line. I’ll check your date and send through the booking info. A signed agreement + slightly less than 20% deposit = locked in and ready to roll. It's that easy. And honestly putting a deposit on a vendor means its just one less thing to worry about. Leave the real work to us!
