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 stri...
de! 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.

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 p...
resent 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.

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!

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.
