In the fall of 2025, I reached out to James a week before I proposed to my girlfriend. I had a pretty ambitious plan, and James agreed to hike over 3 miles to a tree in a remote al...
pine tundra at 13,000 feet, where he waited hidden in some small bushes. He was able to capture some stunning photos of our engagement, as well as contributing some very thoughtful suggestions for the photoshoot after the proposal. For example, he hiked up with a specific variety of champagne and a thermos of tea, both of which were great ideas and really helped elevate the day. James is really fun to work with, and does a great job making people comfortable for photos. I'm very much looking forward to having him shoot our wedding.
Any questions?
