About this vendor
James Minns Photography is a wedding photography company located in Boca Raton, FL. Six years ago, my wife Caitlyn and I set off on a journey, working together as a husband and wife team. We have met amazing people, visited beautiful and inspiring places, and earned some awards along the way.
Our process begins with creating a concierge-style experience, getting to know you and your partner on a deeper level and learning all about those items that you have ever dreamed about for your wedding day. Once we are able to identify what your wedding dreams are, we guide you and help you plan for the moment that those dreams become reality. Our number one goal from start to finish is to make it so you have absolute confidence that the day you have been dreaming of is going to happen exactly the way you dreamed of it, and that you will have amazing memories to reflect back on for the rest of your lives.
Throughout this process we work on deepening our relationship, becoming friend, confidante, and sometimes maybe even your part-time therapist. The relationship you have with your photographer is one of the most important relationships you will have on your wedding day, they will be with you every step of the day, and because of it, we believe that the trust we create is something to be cherished and honored.

amless from start to finish. You don't need to know how to pose and you don't need to stress about the process. They teach you how to do everything while making you feel completely comfortable. They are extremely personable and wonderful people to share your special occasions with.
The photos turned out incredible! You couldn't tell my hubby that he wasn't a GQ model after looking at our photos, we had to squeeze his head through the door it was so big after seeing himself lol!
The turnaround time for the photos was fast, so we got to relive our day shortly after experiencing it in real time. 10/10 would recommend for any occasion. What an incredible experience!

Super nice and easy going, knew exactly what we wanted. Would recommend 10/10
My wife chose James as our photographer for our wedding. I’m not big on pictures, so I left it up to her to make that choice and pick whoever she wanted. Well, here I am, writing a...
review because James really impressed me and made the experience something we will never forget. Not only is his professionalism and eye for detail exceptional, he actually had me enjoying getting my picture taken, which is a feat in itself. Yes, I had my beautiful wife next to me and possibly a shot of whiskey for the nerves but James made us feel like family which was calming. Made us feel like we were in our own world. This is KEY when you have a wedding of 250+ people, it can be hectic and overwhelming at times. Hell, he even made me look good and I am not photogenic! Needless to say, we will never forget the moments when it was just us, on our big day, getting our photo taken by James, even on a day that still feels like a blur. Thanks again buddy.

As a result, we have these amazing photos that James captured on our special day that we will forever cherish and forever be grateful for.

James was honestly amazing. He took the time to get to know us, really got a feel for what we wanted and was super adaptable and willing to work with us. 10/10 would recommend.
James was amazing! He’s very professional & knowledgeable. I could tell from our first meeting that he was the real deal. My wife & I couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos.
Like with most wedding planning, the husband is clueless when it comes to the photography portion of things & defer's to his wife (or partner) to make an executive decision on who ...
to use. I'm incredibly happy that my wife chose James to be a part of our day. From first meeting to the final edits, he is legit at the top of his game. It's more than the attention to detail and his knowledge the of the area in which we chose to tie The Knot (ha!). This is legit his art and one of the ways that he will leave his mark on this earth. I have never come across an artist of his caliber and I'm sure that the many folks that have worked with James & his team over the years would agree with that statement. We have, and will, continue to recommend him to everyone we know.

You would be crazy not to go with them!

that you’ve ever wanted. James’ talent is unmatched, and Caitlyn is there every step of the way to perfect each and every detail throughout the day (and entire wedding process). They’re genuine, professional and just truly wonderful people, not only to work with but to know. You matter to them as much as they matter to you and your wedding memories. We not only have stunning pictures to last a lifetime, but will always remember working with James and Caitlyn as a happy and stress free process.

From the moment we sat down with James at a Starbucks in Boca Raton, we knew he would be our photographer for our special day. The energy he brings through his work is something we...
have yet to encounter. His passion is to make sure he captures every special moment of your day. From our engagement photos to the photos on our wedding day, James took the time to plan and envision each shot before he takes the picture. He takes into account the atmosphere/environment when taking photos and implements them in unique ways into his work. We highly recommend James not only for your wedding day pictures, but for any of your photography needs! James also has a great staff that makes everything easier in a light and fun atmosphere!
James is wonderful! Fun and easy to work with. On top of everything and great about staying in touch. He captured amazing candid shots of all my friends and family and his ideas ab...

I found James Minn on Facebook. There was an engagement photoshoot giveaway that I signed up for. I never expected to be picked but I'm so grateful that I was. From the very beginn...
ing, James told me he would treat me as a paying client and he really did. It was clear to me that he takes pride in his work and made an effort to get to know my fiance and I. He was great at answering my questions that I had leading up to the photoshoot. His wife Caitlyn was also a knowledgeable photographer and they work well together. They gave very useful tips to help us look our best in our pictures. I had such a great experience and I felt beautiful. James went above and beyond for us and our photos came out beautiful. I highly recommend hiring James for your photography needs. He is professional, kind and very talented.
To anyone considering hiring James for your wedding, just stop thinking and DO IT! From the beginning his responses were incredibly quick. He made the whole process for us as easy ...
as could be. Fast forward to the wedding day, him and his team showed up and began to work immediately. They instantly were able to make everyone feel at ease and have fun! My favorite thing though are there are so MANY CANDIDS. This was something we stressed to James in our initial meeting that we LOVE candid photos and are super awkward in front of the camera. He immediately made us feel at ease and the photos came out beautifully! One photo in particular though during our reception he too was a photo of my grandparents who were dancing and my grandmother had the biggest smile on her face. I'm so grateful to him for capturing this moment. We are absolutely in love with our wedding images and couldn't imagine having shared our day and have it captured by anyone but James and his team. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Where to begin?! I first found James Minns Photography when I was doing some research for our wedding this past February. I was immediately drawn to James and Caitlyn’s work when I...
began viewing photos from previous wedding albums they had completed online. My husband and I initially met with them at their studio and it quickly became clear that this was not only a job for the two of them, but their passion. They went in depth to explain to us the process of choosing a wedding album that was right for us, while also asking detailed questions in regards to what we were looking for out of the experience. Overall, we could not have made a better choice when we chose James Minns Photography. I can honestly say over a year later, James and Caitlyn are no longer our “wedding photographers” but our friends. They even made a special trip to Miami for me in order to shoot a boudoir session as a surprise gift to my husband on our wedding day. James and Caitlyn made a situation (which was clearly not the most comfortable) into an amazing experience and the photos could not have turned out more beautifully. After finalizing the boudoir album with James, I had no doubts that we had chosen the right company. On our wedding day, they coordinated photos of us as well as our family members / friends and captured moments that we will never forget. On a day that can be high stress and emotionally draining, they made the experience feel effortless and we received numerous compliments from both our guests as well as our bridal/groomsmen parties regarding how enjoyable they were to work with. Throughout the entire process they were patient, punctual and their attention to detail is above and beyond impressive. If you are looking for A+ work, look no further. James Minns photography is where it’s at! :))
My wife and I hired james for our wedding and I cant tell you happy I am we did. He maked us feel super comfortabe in front of the camera and makes look awesome. It felt like one o...
f our friends was taking the photos and not just another vendor. We look at our photos all the time and cant help but smile veeyrtime. Thank ou james you rock!
Working with James was an absolutely wonderful experience. Sometimes working with photographers you don't have a personal relationship with can be awkward but James was so fun and ...
easy to feel comfortable with. He spent a lot of time before our engagement shoot to get to know our personalities and style to make our pictures capture as much of our true relationship as possible. He is very creative and detail oriented. I loved that he didn't want to take pictures that looked like everyone else's engagement pictures. We LOVED how our pictures turned out and highly recommend James Minns Photography!!!
James and his wife Caitlyn are an absolutely incredible Duo! As a newly engaged couple, who had never had professional photos taken before, we were very nervous to open up and be o...
urselves around strangers. We can genuinely say that there was never a moment that we felt as if James and Caitlyn were strangers! They are so incredibly welcoming and make you feel stunning during your shoot! The attention to details, creative poses and angles, and genuine passion that they include within their photo shoots are amazing. We genuinely cannot thank them enough for all that they have done to help make our engagement such a special time in our lives. These pictures will most definitely be something that we look back on forever. We did not receive pretty pictures that we will put in a box, we received personalize pictures that we will cherish forever. From our very first introductory phone call, James insured that every step of our engagement photo process was personalized. He asked details about both my fiance and myself as a couple as well as individually. He did this so that we could not only go to places that we love as a couple, but also go to locations/do things that we are passionate about individually. Just that in itself, blew us away in comparison to other photographers. They thrive on creating magical pieces, that are personalized per person, couple, or family. We went to multiple locations and had multiple outfit changes during our shoot. Again, something that we were unable to find with other photographers. I would and have recommended James and Caitlyn to anyone, including my own best friends and family! You will truly be blown away by their professionalism and courtesy. Thank you both very much, we will forever be grateful to have met you!
To lead, this was my fiance and I's first ever photo shoot and it was for our engagement photos. We went into it extremely nervous and expected it to be awkward working with people...
we have never met before, that definitely wasnt the case working with James and his wife. They made it so easy that it felt like we were hanging out with friends that just so happen to be taking pictures with fancy cameras in weird angles. They were very open to our wants and had many ideas I would have never thought of. Overall, it was an experience that I was lucky to share with James and I would recommend them for any event in need of a photographer.
We absolutely adore our pictures but the experience is something that we will never forget. The care, dedication and thought that was taking was so memorable. I have finally found ...
the photographer that I will be using for all the important events in my life! Thank you guys for making our wedding day even more than we were expecting and giving us gorgeous photos to look back on.
James was kind and professional throughout the entire process. When planning, he made time to accommodate our very busy schedules. Leading up to our day, he was very patient and re...
sponsive, and even provided us tips to help the day run smoother. Not to mention our photos are AMAZING! The planning process in itself is so stressful and the wedding day goes by so fast. I am forever grateful for James and his team. We will be booking family photos with him very soon :)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
James was knowledgeable about photography and angles. It showed in our pictures that he positioned us to look our best! He was personable and open to our ideas while incorporating ...
his creativity. Thanks James!
James and his team were excellent to work with for our engagement photos! I felt like I was working with friends. He gave great direction and made my fiancé and I feel comfortable!
Wedding planning is extremely stressful and it can be such a hassle to find real, reliable people. James was a blessing! He is so friendly and accommodating, answering emails quick...
ly and explained everything to us! My new husband and I are total dorks in front of the camera and James was able to do the impossible and make us look amazing! James and his team were professional and didn’t miss any details. He knew the shots that were special to us and executed them perfectly! Thank you James for all the amazing memories!
I’m so lucky to have found James! There are so many reasons to recommend him aside from the absolutely stunning photos. He and his wife Caitlyn are more than just photographers. Th...
ey really take the time to get to know you, listen to what it is you’re looking for in your engagement and wedding photos, make suggestions, and execute. They are not afraid of a challenge, or to go outside of their comfort zone to get the perfect shot (we learned this by dragging them out on our boat all day for our engagement session, and making them fight through swarms of mosquitoes on remote South Florida islands - - sorry guys!) They took time to scout our locations and get ideas before our events, and were really great with our wedding party and guests. James’ pricing and packages are reasonable (and our album was included!), and he’s extremely responsive to emails, texts and calls. He is a true artist. I am thrilled to get to look back at his work for the rest of my life.
