Beautiful Life Films & Photography

James and his wife are so professional in both their work and their etiquette! You won't find better photographers and videographers than them with their work and character. They helped us nail down our timeline and are very detailed and organized. Even with potential rain and snow leading up to our wedding, they were unwavered in their ability to capture our special day! Highly recommend to everyone.

We used Beautiful Life Films & Photography for our wedding in Asheville at Biltmore. The wedding video and film was amazing and really captured the day. They were very easy and delightful to work with. I highly recommend them!

We loved having Beautiful Iife films and photography for our wedding! We did an engagement session and got to meet James a little earlier which made us more comfortable going into the big day. On the wedding day James did the video and his wife, Kate, took the pictures they also had their daughter with them for assistance. We have received all the pictures and we love them all so much and can’t wait for the video. James and Kate were both nice and professional we would highly recommend them!

James and Kate took beautiful photos of our wedding, and I fully recommend them! Even before our wedding day, James asked for a list of pictures we wanted and worked to develop a timeline around our plan. We are Catholic, so our ceremony was in the middle of Mass, and the photographers were respectful and kept a quiet reverence as they worked. We hardly even knew they were there, but there are plenty of stunning photos of the Mass and ceremony to prove they were. From the wedding ceremony to the reception, they took plenty of candids, portraits, and action shots, capturing the people and special moments of the day. Our photos were delivered online and as a flash drive, and the edits are simple and add elegance to the pictures. Good photography was one of our priorities as we planned our wedding, and we’re so glad we chose Beautiful Life Photography!

Beautiful life was one of our first vendors we selected and could not be happier with our experience. From booking to the wedding day, everything was perfect and they were extremely accommodating to ensure we had exactly what we wanted. We don’t have our full gallery yet as the event is only a week out, but we are already extremely happy with our sneak peeks and can’t wait to see the rest. I would highly recommend this amazing team!

The Beautiful Life Films team was truly a joy to work with from beginning to end. They are really flexible and fun to work with. From the engagement pictures to wedding day, they made the whole process a breeze. Our video and pictures came back quickly and were great quality. We definitely recommend them to any couple!

James was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was responsive, professional, and so friendly! He helped make every detail throughout the day seamless!

I cannot say and the positive things about working with Jain and Kate. They were so much fun to work with and we had a blast during her day. They had such a great vision a new are venue well that it made the day go so smoothly. I highly recommend getting the video as we last and cried all over again watching are wedding day.

We loved working with James and Kate! They are so fun and very professional. They immediately put us at ease, and we forgot we were in front of the camera. We love how our pictures turned out! Very prompt too! Would definitely work with them again.

James and Kate did an absolutely phenomenal job as my husband and I's wedding photographer and videographer. Not only are the sweetest couple that you will ever meet, but their passion and talent for capturing memories that you will cherish for a lifetime is evident in the quality of their work. They made the entire experience so much fun. Looking back, it is also super impressive that we don't remember seeing cameras "in our face" on our wedding day, yet they captured pictures and video with an intimate feel. One of the things that impressed me the most was their organization and preparation. They visited the venue prior to the wedding day, they arrived earlier than expected the day of, they were in constant communication with me from the day I booked them, and they had a list of all the family picture combinations that we wanted so the portraits went quickly and seamlessly even despite our big family. As far as the video goes - I had very, very high standards and they saw my vision for the film so beautifully and far surpassed all of my expectations. We watch our wedding video all the time and are still blown away with how they were able to recap all of our favorite parts of the day in an eight minute film. It really is a work of art. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer, and we cannot thank them enough for the gift they've given us through their work.

I could not have asked for a better team to document such an important day! They made us feel so comfortable and really took the time to get every shot while still allowing everything to happen so organically. We now get to relive our day over and over through the beautiful, high quality footage that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

James and Kate were wonderful to work with. They were very responsive, captured all the right shots on the big day, and put together a beautiful video. Thank you!

Two thumbs way up. Very professional and easy going. My photos and videos turned out so magical. They are literally the nicest couple I've met in the business.

James and Kate filmed our wedding three months ago. We can't say enough good things about them. They are so easy to work with and are willing to accommodate our needs and listen to our suggestions. Although traveling from outside of our state, they arrived on time on our wedding day, fully prepared. Especially, James used his drone shooting an awesome view of our venue and edited it into our wedding videos which turned out to be breath-taking beautiful. We love both the highlight video and the full length one. We are so glad to have them filming our wedding. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to capture the precious moment.

We decided (extremely) last minute (sorry, James) to have a videographer at our wedding and we are SO thankful that Beautiful Life Films had our date available (it was their ONLY date available in April, too, so book early you guys!!). People say that you never watch your wedding video again, but that's completely not true. Even if you're not the type of person who will watch the whole ceremony over and over, Beautiful Life produces a highlight film (>5 minutes) that captures parts of the entire day. We couldn't be more pleased with their work — and I work in media production, so I'm a hard sell on quality, value and overall video cohesion. Thanks to Beautiful Life for capturing these moments we will cherish forever! If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, definitely hire Beautiful Life — these people will not disappoint.

James was absolutely wonderful to work with! My wedding video was a gift from my Aunt and she had a definite budget in mind. James went out of his way to work with us on meeting that budget, but still including all the special moments we wanted to see in the video. My mom couldn't be there for the wedding, so it was important that the entire ceremony was filmed... and it was.. to perfection! The video itself is amazing... so professional and touching with great music and sweet snapshots throughout. Everyone just loves, loves, loves it! Thank you James & Beautiful Life Films for giving us such a spectacular way to remember our wedding day (most of which is a bit of a blur to me... brides are so frazzled). Should we have another special event in NC (like maybe my daughter's wedding in a few years) we will definitely use Beautiful Life Films again!! Thanks, Angela & Erik

I truly enjoyed working with James and Kate. From the beginning, they were easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, they both were very professional and fun. They were discrete while filming. Many of my guests didn't even realize we were having the wedding recorded. The highlight film was a perfect compilation of the best clips from the day. The wedding DVD was great as well! They have a talent for filming the best shots and James edits to make a classy video that we will actually want to watch again and again. I am so happy I was able to work with them at my wedding. I highly recommend them for any event you have.

James and his wife are a delightful couple, and so much fun to be around! These personalities are so critical on a wedding day, because it makes the bridal party, planner, and attendees much more comfortable and happy. As a result, our wedding video showed the happiness and emotions of the day, and no one was "worried" about being on camera. We could see everyone at ease, and that is worth everything. Having video is a great bonus, because honestly I will probably forget what I said in my vows years later. It will mean a lot to see family and friends, especially as years change people and sadly people pass away. We have those memories and feelings forever. The final video was lovely, high quality, and well edited. James completed everything in a timely matter, and truly created a product that fit our personalities. The price is fair, and I highly recommend anyone working with this vendor-you won't be disappointed!

James and his wife were wonderful to work with! Since we live in different cities, we exchanged e-mails and had phone conferences so that James could get a feel for what we were looking for. They came ahead of time on the day of the wedding and were with us every step of the way. They were totally unobtrusive and got the DVD done in just a few weeks time. The video included the full hour long version, the trailer, and a brief photo montage. The music is fun and just perfect and they captured so many moments that my husband and I missed on the day of our wedding. It's truly priceless and I'm so glad we will have it for the rest of our lives. Beautiful Life Films will not disappoint!!!

Beautiful Life Films did a GREAT job with our wedding video. James and his wife were wonderful! We booked last minute when we decided we wanted a videographer to capture the day - and are so lucky he was available. In addition to being SOOOOO affordable, the resulting video is AMAZING! Professional editing, personal service, and professionalism demonstrated throughout. You cannot go wrong if you choose them!

i really have loved working with these guys! they are so easy to get along with, yet professional... creative and very accommodating! i thought a videographer would stretch the budget, but was happily surprised at the cost for the value... i definitely have gotten more than i hoped for, too, with bits of fashion & style advice when i was wondering about lots of the little details-- this will definitely add so much to our wedding memories! thank you beautiful life!
