About this vendor
"Words simply are not enough James was able to capture not just our wedding day, but the emotion, the love that surrounded us, the laughter and all that which was beautiful. His unobtrusive, photojournalistic approach allowed us to fully enjoy our day while capturing our story. I searched for months, through dozens of photographers and websites. As soon as I saw James's work I knew. We talked on the phone a few times, as he's three hours from me, and met him for the first time on my wedding day. I could not have asked for anything more in a photographer. He has the ability to capture this thing called love and life, which is expressed so eloquently in his work. He is an amazing artist, a storyteller, and truly the best photographer I’ve met."

Reached out to my fiancée with a very unprofessional response when we didn’t respond in an “appropriate” amount of time. Very aggressive in his response and I wouldn’t recommend using him.
James truly captured the elegance and essence of our wedding day all while going virtually unnoticed. He captured moments that would have been forgotten due to the chaos of getting ready and preparing the day of. These moments were relived in his photos and makes you remember just how special those little moments were. James was not only very professional but also great to be around. My 10 year old daughter attached herself to him for a better part of the day and he remained focused yet very social to everyone. I couldn't be happier!
James was a very calm presence on our wedding day. My husband and I are not "center of attention" people and James took that into consideration. He took chaos (in my mind) in stride! He seemed to be everywhere and no where at the same time ! Blended in, but I saw him during the reception and thought, Wow, he knows where to be. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Alexandria Photography for wedding photos. James was an amazing addition to our wedding day. He fit in so perfectly with our wedding party and guests that he was able to capture the truly special candid moments that we may have not otherwise been able to see. He was so easy to work with and we felt very relaxed around him because we trusted that he would get every shot we wanted and plenty of others that we didn’t even know we wanted! We definitely made the right choice by making James part of our day because not only did he have our photos edited and sent to us quickly after our wedding but the photos came out beautifully. They were just what we wanted with a great mix of traditional “posed” photos and candid photo moments. He took the time to meet with us beforehand and had a clear plan for the day in advance.
Beautiful photos couldn't have asked for better- he captured every small moment.
Alexandria photography was amazing! James did a fantastic job capturing all the magical moments at our wedding. The his pricing is extremely reasonable. He responds very fast. He made us feel so comfortable. Our pictures came out better than we could even imagine. The quality and editing is picture perfect! I highly recommend Alexandria photography!
I was not all that impressed with my wedding pictures. We planned a first look to take all the formal pictures before the ceremony and went over this plan with James the week before the wedding. He did take some formal portaits of the groom & groomsmen before that turned out fantastic but then said we ran out of time and followed the groomsmen to the ceremony, leaving me with my bridesmaids for a good 20 minutes to take more of the guys. So then we asked to take formals with the bridesmaids after the ceremony and he took one shot with them and my mom. When the bridesmaids asked for some of just them he said, “that’s not my style”. When I got back my pictures I was pretty unhappy about the one picture with the bridesmaids and mob, his response was that he only takes formals that are requested and no one asked for those pictures. One, yes we did and two, is that not what you hire and pay a photographer a lot of money for? I did not get one of my husband and his Dad, any posed with the bridesmaids, and really just one nice portrait of my husband and I. He ignored my mom and maid of honor, and I have hundreds of two bridesmaids by themselves. I asked for portraits with my train detail, and the 1880s castle in the background but he ignored any request I made. I feel that so much is lacking; editing, variety, detail, portraits.
We had our engagement shoot and James did a fantastic job. Our wedding is in 4 months and even our DJ and Coordinator at our Venue have nothing but nice things to say about James and Alexandria Photography!
James has a great eye and is an actual photographer, not just a wedding photographer. We decided we didn't want to spend the whole day posing for pictures and wanted to be really present with each other and our guests. James worked in perfectly in this scenario. He got so many beautiful and incredibly genuine photos. It was so hot and it even rained, and I am telling you, there is not one picture of my wife that she dislikes. He truly did an amazing job. Another thing we got with James that I never would have even imagined I could get are some amazing photos of our guests. Since this were less staged, everyone was relaxed and looks to be genuinely happy. I wouldn't have thought I would be able to give people some gorgeous images of themselves from my wedding as well. Again, if you want something that is unlike what the other people are all doing, James is your guy.
Our pictures are gorgeous! James really knows how to capture all the special moments so you can look back on them fondly for a lifetime! He was fun and flexible to work with, we would highly recommend.
James was incredible to work with from start to finish. We initially reached out to him because we saw the gorgeous photography on his website and were drawn in by the way he uses light to make events look timeless. His wedding photo package is very reasonable for the quality you are getting, and unlike other photographers, he doesn't try to pre-sell you into expensive print packages. He was really flexible on the day of our wedding - making sure that every shot was captured no matter what happened - and even brought an extra photographer at no extra charge to make sure that no moment went by unmissed. He even stayed later than he needed to since the party kept going.
We have so many great photos from our wedding that narrowing the photos down is a (good) challenge. I'd highly recommend James for any bride or groom-to-be or for other events!
First of all i just want to say how great James is as a photographer and as a person, first time i actually met James was at my wedding on my wedding day! The first time i talked to James on the phone i knew he was going to be my photographer for my wedding he just makes you feel super relaxed and like you don't have to worry about a thing for your big day! Which let's face it girls all of us do not relax at all till the big day is actually here! I love lifestyle photography i did not want to feel so posed for my big day and worried about how to stand the right way and blah blah blah i mean come on let's be original, if you love lifestyle photography and are in the new york area don't think twice about going with James and is amazing and so are my photo's i promise you, you will be so in love with your wedding photo's if you choose him...plus he's super fun :)
It was a pleasure working with James! He made everyone feel so comfortable and it truly showed in every single photograph! Every moment was captured perfectly! Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying, James is awesome. My husband and I instantly felt comfortable with James, and as soon as I saw his work, I knew I wanted him to be our photographer. I love his candid style and how his photos show real moments and genuine emotions.
We kept our shot list small and let James do his thing, and we’re thrilled with the results. James had a way of being everywhere all at once and he captured the biggest and smallest moments; from my husband sharing a special moment with his mom before the ceremony, to my bridesmaids taking a hilarious spill on the dance floor. He even rescued me when I got locked in the bathroom before walking down the aisle.
James’ pictures tell the story of our big day perfectly and looking at them brings back all the emotions of the day (I cried the first time I looked at them). The photos are beautiful, so beautiful they don’t need to be edited. James is a true artist, easy to work with, fun, and professional (we got our photos on time, as promised). I’ll finish the way I started by saying, James is awesome.
The moment I saw the work of Alexandria Photography I knew we had to request them for our Wedding.
James was able to capture each and every special moment of our special day.
We are very pleased and would highly recommend them.
James was wonderful! He took the pictures we wanted and then the rest of the night I didn't even know he was there!
Several of my family members have used this photographer and he's done a wonderful job each time. James is able to capture incredible moments that are unexpected. We love his photographs. He is passionate about the art of photography and that is evident from his pictures.
