I'm not big on reviews, but James made our wedding in July of 2015 so seamless I had to share. My husband and I come from large families with an abundance of nieces and nephews. J...
ames was warm and kind, putting people from a broad range of ages at ease, he has a gift capturing a moment in a very natural way. His energy was boundless, that man was in two places at once! My husband and I were delighted and amused by what he caught on film. We feel so lucky to have had such a talented person work with us. Thank you James!

James was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding production, and his ability to capture our event was even more astounding.
His open line of communication a...
nd ease to work with were greatly appreciated from the moment we started planning, to the actual December day we got married. With so many variables and different people to deal with, James was a blessing to work with. It barely seemed like he was there during the day. Only after receiving the pictures and seeing how he captured everything so beautifully did we realize how involved he was all day. It's so nice to have our moment forever enshrined in photos.

at day and I am so happy to have had you be a part of it! The pictures you took are simply stunning and we could not be happier with how they turned out!

All the best,

Let talk about James LeBlanc. What can I say, professional, on time, great with communication and delivered in the end. He exceeded all of our expectations.
But he’s an artist wi...
th a vision, that he shared with my wife and family on one of the most memorable days in life. He has a way that made one of the most intense days a little lighter and simply, fun. I look at the beautiful album and am taken back to every feeling and thrill of the day. He is now part of the family, and we’re looking forward to to documenting more of out lives together. So thanks, James.

I loathe writing online reviews. That being said, I felt compelled to write one after successfully working with James for our wedding on April 25, 2015. James was responsive to a...

James,
Marc and I are so grateful you were the photographer for our wedding on October 4, 2014. Thanks for listening to our personal requests and combing them with your creative ...
style. Some of our favorite photos include the candid moments from the rehearsal on the beach and the way you captured the emotions of our big day. Marc was very impressed and appreciative with your ability to discreetly capture the important moments that we would have missed otherwise. We will highly recommend you to our friends and family members. Thanks again, you're the best.!
- Sincerely, Julie and Marc
Using James Leblanc for our September wedding photographs was hands down the best decision of the day, aside from the whole actually getting married bit. He was masterful in his ap...
proach the entire day. We ran into a few snags here and there with the venue but he competently, efficiently and with a great attitude helped us to achieve more than we could have hoped for. Such an amazing man both personally and professionally. We couldn't be any happier with our photos and hope to have the opportunity to use him in the future.

As our photographer, James Leblanc did a wonderful job capturing memories from our wedding on July 6th, 2013. His skill with people matches his skill with a camera. He was though...
tful and attentive as we made plans, present, yet unobtrusive during the festivities, and quick to follow up and produce the photos for our album.
Working with James was a real pleasure and we recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

My review:
James LeBlanc was recommended to us by a friend who has worked with him in the past. And what a recommendation! James has an artistic approach to photography, his inc...
redible attention to detail, and his ability to capture true emotions in a photograph make them seem more natural, almost cinematic. His personality also puts one at ease. A true professional. He will work with your vision, and if you're stumped, he will guide you to find it. We were so happy to work with James on our wedding day, September 29, 2014, and looking forward to working with him again when we start a family.
-Kathi and Richard
My husband, Tony, and I interviewed many people before deciding on James Leblanc as our wedding photographer. Not only was he professional and talented, but he exceeded our wildest...
expectations. We had an idea to do a group photo of the entire wedding. James and his photography partner actually got a ladder and used a special camera, compiling all of our guests in front of the chapel in what would become an heirloom quality large photograph. Most of our photos from the day look right out of a magazine photo-shoot, capturing unexpected details and moments that otherwise would have been forgettable in the blur of the day. Unbelievably, James managed to capture the essence of our wedding, and took a shot of every single one of our guests. He has an eye for the unexpected moments, and without being obtrusive, he delivered photos of private touches and public celebrations. Hiring James was the single best wedding decision I made (besides deciding to marry my husband.) Years later, we are still stunned by the exceptional photos from that day. The memories may fade, but James' photos remain.

We are still eternally grateful to James for the exemplary work he and his team did photographing our wedding. We had a non-traditional ceremony and reception in a massive Brooklyn...
loft and he was very accommodating to our peculiar demands. He even provided valuable creative input when we asked, and at his suggestion, we set up a large format Polaroid portrait station and ended up with these fabulous one-of-a-kind photographs of our family and friends. Whether taking traditional bride and groom shots or more ephemeral images of the crowd, we were ecstatic with the results. James understood what we were trying to accomplish and worked in concert with it, really blending in with the plan and event. We never felt like the photography was drawing too much attention, which we really appreciated.

I scheduled a candid photo shoot with James. Given the complexity of the situation his communication skills were excellent and he was able to make adjustments on the fly due to tra...
ffic conditions and other factors. Even taking pictures from a distance without being seen James was able to capture precious moments between me and my fiancé at her favorite place. James was not only able to capture us in the photographs he was able to capture the surrounding scenery of NYC and the Brooklyn Bridge. His attention to detail was impeccable including abstract photos which showed the true beauty of the area. James is one of the most friendly photographers you will meet and will not only take excellent photographs of your special moments but will make you feel comfortable for the entire session. I was surprised how quickly James was able to edit the pictures and produce images which could be used both on social media and for professional printing which is extremely necessary in 2016. If you are looking for A+ service and pictures from a photographer who truly loves his job James should be your selection.

I cannot recommend James LeBlanc enough!
My husband, Hugo, is an artist, so I felt a lot of pressure to pick the perfect photographer. But Hugo was blown away by the images! It'...
s been so much fun to re-live the day together (even the parts I missed or didn't remember). James was so easy to work with. We were on the same page, so I wasn't worried about him at all.
Thank James!
Sincerely,
Daniel and Hugo

Dear James,
I wanted to genuinely thank you for making the day so much easier for Thea and I. You completely knocked it out of the park- from all the communication and advice bef...
ore hand, to the stellar framed images we now have sitting front and center.
I’m so thrilled you were receptive to our needs, and understood we didn’t want a big clunky photographer. With a small wedding like that we think it was very important to have someone that could stay unobtrusive. We hardly noticed you were there except for that flashy little smile of yours.
On top of that my mom cannot contain her excitement for all the amazing pictures she can put all around the house. There is a distinct “quiet” beauty to all the images. I don’t know what you did, but it definitely worked!
Thanks so much for your hard work. We’ll treasure these for the rest of our lives.
Best,
Jamie and Thea Mathewson
James was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer last December! His sense of humor and positive attitude throughout our wedding day made taking pictures fun and enjoyable....
We couldn't possibly be more happy with our pictures, and absolutely recommend him to anyone in search of a skilled photographer. I am so thankful we found someone who was so accommodating to our needs and easy to work with! Thanks James!

James shot our wedding on 8 October 2016, and we're both so happy he did. He has a really good eye for capturing spontaneous moments and his candid shots, for me, speak wholly to t...
he event and the fun everyone was having. Before the wedding, James was very giving with advice and guidance in terms of how things could go (and he showed more than a little patience with my wife, who wanted to go over *every* detail). At the wedding, he was a great presence--very fun and creative. It really felt like he cared about us not only getting good photos, but also just having a good time. He really made a day that could have been so stressful and helped make it fun. Looking back on the photos really puts us back in that time and place and we're really both just amazed at how well they turned out. We would both highly recommend James for any event.

Last spring, on the 17th of April, our wedding day was spectacular! Just one thing - it went by in such a blur.
Thanks to James, my wife and I will be able to relive every perfect ...
moment, forever!
James captured not only the beauty of our day, but also the essence of who we are. In the tiny moments shared with family and friends, in the moments we didn't see or were too busy to notice - it's all there, beautifully presented.
We feel it was one of the best decisions we made, having James photograph our wedding. For preserving these memories for us, we'll always be thankful.
Sincerely,
The Haftls
James is an incredibly talented photographer and was a pleasure to work with for our August 2016 wedding. He was always available to speak with, gave professional guidance and wel...
comed any special requests we had. During the wedding he was fun, patient and creative. He helped make a day that could be extremely stressful run smoothly. James was able to capture all of the special moments of the day that are now preserved in many forms for us and our family to enjoy for generations. We strongly recommend him to anyone in need of an awesome artist. Thanks again, James!!

Thanks James!
