James Studio offers natural looking photography and videography. It is a quality that we aim for that makes you stand out as naturally beautiful.
James Studio photography uses a style called portrait journalism. It is a careful combination of shooting whatever is happening (photo journalism) with helping to make things happen beautifully (portraiture). Using high-end equipment, creative shooting, casual poses and carefully chosen backgrounds you will be excited about your wedding photos and albums!


We offer a variety of packages to meet the budgets of most couples. Higher budget packages include at least one album, print credit and more staff. For lower budgets we provide the same quality pictures but would not include as many options or staff.

This includes a 3 video camera shoot for the ceremony and 2 cameras for the reception. We can provide a 1 camera video shoot for $1295. Please contact Jim with your photo & video needs.
