We had an amazing experience working with James Anthony Photography! From start to finish, they made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Their guidance on poses ...
was spot-on and helped us look natural while still getting stunning shots. They captured the venue beautifully, highlighting all the details and atmosphere perfectly. Communication was excellent—always responsive and easy to work with. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend James to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer!
We had the most amazing wedding on 9-14-24, and James Anthony Photography played a huge role in the success of the day! Super happy with his team and their work! Leading up to the ...
wedding, James was very responsive, and so happy to meet or chat with us about our day and our needs/expectations. It felt like James was the vendor that we interacted with the most because of how much time is spent on pictures and we are SO glad that we chose him!! He always made sure our needs were his top priority, and was flexible to accommodate whatever we wanted in the moment, which really made us enjoy the day. He was super fun to work with and he took away a lot of stress! He exceeded all expectations and we are SO happy we chose him to capture our wedding day! Everyone says it goes by so fast - and it really does! - but James made sure that all of our wants and desires for photos were met. He efficiently organized large group photos, and made sure he captured the unique photos that we wanted him to capture - without needing reminders on the day of the wedding, he just got it done! He worked so well with us at each portion of the day, from pre-ceremony photos, Church ceremony, after ceremony, and reception photos, capturing each moment perfectly and constantly checking in with us to make sure that no picture was missed. He and his assistant Faith were so awesome to work with on the Wedding Day and we would HIGHLY recommend James Anthony Photography!!!
If my husband and I could leave more than 5 stars we would!! James is such a pleasure to work with. From the time we signed the contract, engagement photos, day of the wedding and...
communication James is THE BEST!!! His communication is incredible and has personality takes the cake!!! We would recommend him to EVERYONE! James thank you and look forward to working with you in the future!
An absolute pleasure to work with! We were one of those COVID weddings that ended up changing our date multiple times and every time we asked his availability for the new date he w...
as quick to respond to let us know! He made the process to change the date easy. With our final date approaching he talked with us multiple times over the phone to discuss details and wedding day timeline to make sure that what we pictured for our day would actually happen. To be quite frank, he basically set our timeline for the morning of with letting us know when everyone had to be ready so we would have plenty of time for all the photos we wanted. Our hair and makeup vendor gave a little push back with this time, but he knew from experience the time and he was right because they did run late as predicted and if we didn't plan for this extra time because of him it would have added a lot of stress to the morning of. Also fully enjoyed his personality. One of the reasons I reached out to him was because of other reviews commenting on his sense of humor and that is just what I needed the day of!
The pictures came out stunning! Love every single one of them! We have a lot of variety to choose from too with all the different poses and locations we took pictures in at the venue. Also, when it came to the ceremony and reception they blended right in and you didn't even know they (we decided on the two photographers package) was there. They captured everything at the ceremony and reception without getting in anyone's way.
We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from friends and family members. We highly recommend!
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! James kept us all on schedule and was so easy to work with!! My wedding day was stress free thanks to him! He has such a gre...
at personality and was able to handle my huge bridal party with ease! We truly cannot thank him enough for being such a big part of our wedding day and for making it the most amazing night of our lives!!
Five stars all around for Jimmy! He did our engagement session, bridal shower, and wedding! The most fun and entertaining photographer you will ever find-which made all the smiles ...
in our photos so natural! We had all our pictures in a short amount of time and the best quality! Jimmy is worth every dollar-If your looking for Quality, James is your guy!
James and his team did our photos for our wedding on 6/7/19 and oh my goodness were we blown away. James was amazingly easy to get in touch with and always gave advice when I neede...
d it. His personality is awesome and he made everything go so smoothly. Recommended a breath taking location for our first look. Everything went as planned and our pictures are better than I could have imagined!!
Need someone to capture your most memorable day of your life? Better yet...need someone who will make you feel like family through the entire process includimg the weeks prior and ...
the day of your wedding? James Anthony was all of that and more. Our photos are stunning, the shots we imagined having are all there and the magic of making our special day feel even more special with his grace and charm made it all that much more worth it!
I highly recommend working with James Anthony. He was our wedding photographer and as part of our package he also took our engagement photos. We really liked that James made us ...
feel comfortable when taking pictures. We didn’t have super specific ideas for our pictures, so we really looked to him to take the lead on where, when and how. James suggested Waterplace Park for our engagement photos, and we were so happy with the photos. We wanted to include my son in some of these photos too, and James did a great job coaching him in the pictures as well. Our wedding was at the Biltmore in Providence and James suggested our first look take place in front of the glass elevator, he coordinated it perfectly and snapped each step of it so that he could capture my husband’s face when he first saw me in my dress. We took group shots in the lobby and on the outdoor terrace. James recommended that we go outside about midway thru the reception to get a night shot of the Biltmore, this is something I would never have thought of, but am SO glad that he suggested it because the Biltmore looks gorgeous at night. James brought a second photographer with him on the wedding day so we could have one photographer with the guys as they got ready and the other with the ladies, this made us feel like nothing was going to be missed.
Communication with James was great, he replies to questions right away.
We received our engagement photos about a week after we took them, I thought this was great. Our wedding photos took about 3 weeks, which was fine with us especially since we went on our honeymoon right after the wedding.
James was great and easy to work with! He was very flexible and personable. He has great experience with weddings and knew exactly what shots needed to be taken and when. He kept t...
hings running smoothly, quickly and efficiently, especially with a wedding party of 19!
James was the photographer for our November 4th, 2017 wedding, and my husband and I are so glad we asked him to capture our big day! We met James through his wife, DJ Valentina-- w...
hile we knew both James and Valentina through my and Valentina's family, we never really had a chance to sit down and speak with them one-on-one. As soon as we met James and saw his work, we knew we wanted to book him for both our engagement session (taken exactly a year before our wedding day!) and wedding. James is personable, has a great sense of humor, put myself, my husband, and our entire wedding party at ease, and was able to work around my multiple facial expressions (which sadly, I didn't realize I was making until after the fact! Sorry, James!). James was extremely responsive to my many e-mails over the course of my two year engagement and answered all of the questions that came to my husband's and my minds. From getting ready, our first look, our ceremony, and our reception, James and his second shooter, Shannon, didn't miss a second of our wedding day. When we received our photos back (over 1,400 of them!), we felt like we were reliving our big day all over again-- even the smallest moments, such as a wedding guest fixing my bustle, and our 14-month-old niece (and flower girl) having a blast on the dance floor in her pajamas. If you're looking for a photographer that is easy to work with, is responsive to questions/e-mails, and truly cares about your wedding day, my husband and I HIGHLY recommend James Anthony Photography!
We found James on the Knot and it could not have turned out any better. James was excellent and demonstrated true passion for what he does. From our initial meeting - to the enga...
gement shoot - to the day of our wedding, we could not have been happier with James and his staff. He catered to all our needs and kept my fiancé/wife extremely happy with his service and attention to detail. James is affordable and HIGHLY recommended.
James was the first vendor my fiance and I hired for my wedding on july 1! I had read all his reviews and saw his work and i knew we had to book him! We had our engagement shoot wi...
th james and the second we started shooting he was joking around with us, which helped make us feel comfortable! We had 20 minutes with the sun going down and he took amazing photos and a lot! In such a short amount of time! plus i had an outfit change! I was so excited how my wedding photos would turn out . And James executed again! Im so in love with ALL the pictures ! BOOK JAMES you wont be disappointed !!
James is one of the best photographers that I have ever worked with. He caters to your every need and truly has a passion for weddings. I love how meticulous James was throughout o...
ur engagement shoot and wedding day. James is incredibly personable, easy to work with, and very professional. James will answer any questions that you have and call/email you back immediately. His prices are VERY reasonable and I would recommend him to any bride and groom. James made our wedding day absolutely perfect and we look forward to cherishing our pictures for years to come!
James is the photographer to book for any event! The pictures for our wedding at Gurney's in Newport came out superb!! My husband and I are extremely pleased with his work. Not onl...
y is James very personable and fun, but he is a professional and easy to work worth. We did not have to ask him for anything he explained everything and also did our engagement photos which were awesome!! He responds quick, priced very well and by far trusted! These are your wedding pictures, you need someone you can rely on! His assistant Faith was fantastic as well! I recommend him 110%! Thank you James for making our day the best!
James Anthony was the first vendor we hired for our wedding. When I started searching for photographers in the area, I kept finding myself being drawn back to the galleries on his ...
website. They were exactly the type of pictures I wanted: some artsy, some classic, some more creative, some more traditional. From our first email exchange, I got a sense of his fun-loving personality, and knew that he would be a great fit for our less-than-eager-about-taking-so-many-photos kind of crowd. When you are as talented and experienced as James is, you can really invest some time in talking to your clients and making everyone feel comfortable, and he did just that. It was great to get to know him for our engagement shoot, and when we got those photos back, we were even more excited that he would be capturing our wedding day as well. From the moment he arrived, he was running the show (in the best way). We got so many shots I would’ve never been able to plan myself. Our whole bridal party was cracking up at his jokes and he put us all at ease right away. The photos of the ceremony and reception do just what they are supposed to do: remind you exactly how you felt in those moments. We will be able to relive the joy of our wedding day forever because of the photos taken by James. The vendors you choose have to be both professional and personable, and James is both. He was wonderful to work with from day one, responsive to all communication and accommodating every request, even patiently getting in a family photo with over 30 people! We couldn’t have entrusted a better guy with what is, in my opinion, the most important job on your wedding day. Once it’s over, your photos are what you have to look back on, and we certainly have so many amazing ones, thanks to James Anthony Photography!
We can't say enough about the amazing experience we had with James Anthony Photography! We had both our engagement shoot and our wedding day with James and his crew. Our pictures t...
urned out gorgeous and he made my whole wedding party comfortable and kept them laughing! Thank you James!
James was an amazing photographer. He did our engagement photos in June and we received our flash drive a week later. The pictures were wonderful and we used them for our Save th...
e Date and Christmas card. He was very professional but very fun to be around. He was go with the flow when things did not run exactly on time. He also photographed our Sikh wedding on the day before our civil ceremony. He was respectful of the culture and I am sure he got a lot of great shots. I cannot wait to see the finished product. Would absolutely hire him again! :)
Working with James from James Anthony Photography was so easy. He was quick to respond to all emails which is a huge plus, especially when planning a wedding. The day of, with the ...
exception of the pictures in between the Mass & reception, you did not realize he was there. The pictures that he captured at church and the reception are amazing. When we were going through the photos every photo just kept getting better and better!
James and his partner did a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job with our engagement and wedding pics! It took us nearly 3 hours to go through all of the photos - they are AMAZING! ...
He has such a good eye, so creative and awesome at capturing every precious moment. James was the first vendor we picked out during our wedding planning and we're glad we did! He is highly recommended!
James Anthony Photography will forever be who I recommend to all my friends and family (and strangers I hear talking about wedding planning)! When people tell you your wedding day ...
will come and go so quickly they are not joking. I cannot believe how fast the entire day just flew by. Months and months of planning followed by a 24hr day that seemed to last 10 minutes! Looking back at all the pictures James and his staff captured for me bring me back and all I can do is smile!
James was easy to talk to and always prompt with his responses during the prepping stages.
The day of, he was on time and so comforting. He worked well with his staff and all of the wedding party. He met with me and my girls at my mothers for hair and make up. He went to my MILs to take pics of the boys. Then arrived at the venue and didn't miss a beat!
He captured moments I missed, moments I forgot about, and moments that I will never have again except for in the pictures.
I DL'd all of the pictures on my computer at work and find myself getting lost in the joy as I flip thru them and smile and laugh.
James Anthony Photography - A++ !!!

James did an amazing job on our wedding photos. Not only did he capture every moment of the day he did it in a unique and creative way. We were thrilled with the way our pictures ...
came out and enjoyed working with James very much!
wedding photos are perhaps the most important part of a wedding, second to actually getting married. We learned about James because we had booked other vendors from hitched wedding...
group (his wife Valentina was our DJ and we used their photo booth service). After meeting with James at the hitched office, seeing some samples of his work, and getting to know his professional, experienced, and very funny personality we had no doubts about booking him as our wedding photographer. My husband and I are so thrilled we used him. Not only did he drive all over the state of Rhode Island for us (from johnston, to mystic CT, to Richmond ri) but he was enthusiastic and had a positive attitude the entire time. We couldn't be happier with how our photos came out! My last point, I am someone who always tried to network and use someone I know or a friend and We took a chance on James because he was a stranger and we didn't know anyone who had used him. But with great risk comes great reward and it was so worth it! He is definitely now a close friend and we will forever recommend him!

My husband and I hired James for our wedding in June of 2016. From the start, James was extremely responsive to answer questions and meet with us to discuss specifics. He was very ...
professional and after meeting and checking with other photographers, he won us over.
We did an engagement photo session (included in our price), not knowing specifically what we wanted so James suggested some location and pose options that worked well for us. He was easy to work with to pick a time for that and had a quick turnaround on the engagement session photos.
For our wedding day, he was prompt and on time with his assistant at our venue. At no time was I worried that he would not capture our special day as to not miss a thing. James had a few key suggestions in order to get some special photos. It was obvious he was very experienced.
My husband and I are very happy to recommend James to anyone for a wedding photographer based on his responsiveness, experience, flexibility, and quality. He is reliable and easy to work with.

planning. We did not have a typical 8 hour wedding but he was willing to work with us and our budget to make our day special!

James Anthony Photography made my wedding day. I thought I was going to have a sunny perfect crisp October day for my wedding day,mother nature had another plan. I was stressed bey...
ond belief that I would not have good pictures. I could not be more wrong. James personally called me the day before the wedding to triple check all times and details. During that call he assured me that the weather would not be a problem. On the wedding day James captured the most perfect gorgeous pictures. Even some beautiful rain shots as well! He also has a fun personality that my now husband and I enjoyed being around. You will not be disappointed if you book!

im and seeing his beautiful work we knew we had found our photographer - and he did not disappoint! He is absolutely amazing to work with. He is punctual, very accommodating, has an AMAZING personality, and takes beautiful photos! He is very creative, and is open to any suggestions you may have. He was always very quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the wedding. His prices are very reasonable. In the end we had so many great pictures!! We hired him the second and third time without looking anywhere else. I also have to mention his assistant Angelo - he took great pictures and was so much fun to be around. All in all an amazing photographer and a great person!! You will not be disappointed!
We hired James Anthony Photography for our wedding on 11/8/14 after he had done both of my sisters weddings. They both loved working with him and they were so pleased with his work...
that we had to have him too! The value is amazing because you get a lot for a very reasonable price and his work is beautiful! We love our pictures and he was very accommodating in covering our day from start to finish. He traveled to multiple photo locations with us and even walked around Providence in the cold to get certain pictures we wanted! Not only did the pictures come out beautiful, but we had such a fun time working with him and his crew! Our bridal party loved them and said they have never had so much fun being in a wedding and taking pictures all day! We highly recommend James Anthony Photography for your event - Jimmy is amazing to work with, his work is incredible and you will not be disappointed!

tos. They were romantic yet modern. I had some ideas for places I wanted us to shoot our pictures to match our personalities and James just ran with it and came up with great photos! I had one picture in particular that I wanted James to shoot for our Save-the-dates. I had arranged for the Avon Cinema to put up our names and wedding date on the marquis and James totally nailed the picture of us in front of it! Our Save-the-dates came out perfect and were the talk of the town! We had so much fun during the 2 hour shoot. My husband, who was a little nervous, felt completely at ease and is so happy James will be doing our wedding phtots. I still look at our pictures and smile!
Our wedding photos came out amazing as well. James is so easy to work with and he got so many intimate and memorable shots from that unforgettable day. He captured so many unique shots of all of the wedding party and little details I couldn't see of my husband getting ready and even shots of my family and future husband as I walked down the aisle that made me cry when I looked back at the photos. He definitely captures every special moment throughout the day. He told us at one point, everything is a potential photo, and he took advantage of our beautiful Newport backdrop and all the gorgeous scenery! I would recommend James over and over!
Booked for my wedding on 9/19/15. With my package included engagement photo session. He took over 100 photos. Love everyone.. Get ideas on different poses. Can't wait to see what...
