James Merrick Photography Reviews 31

James photographed our wedding in October and from the moment I contacted him he couldn't have been more helpful. I knew I wanted James from the start as he is the best at what he does and out photos prove that. Me and my husband aren't use to being in the spotlight and James put us at ease instantly and we are absolutely in love with our photos. I would 100% recommend James for anyone wanting a photographer.

We honestly couldn't ask for more from a photographer... What a guy! James made us both feel so relaxed on our day (especially when it came to our wedding portraits as we were both so nervous about these feeling awkward). We have sat down and been through all our incredible pictures and James captured our day so perfectly - we wanted candid, fun photos and this is what we got! You could feel how much love and fun filled our day in every photo. James was so incredibly professional, hot on any email replies and a 10/10 top bloke - his passion for his work came across throughout the day and in the final photos. James took hundreds (probably thousands) of photos throughout the day and yet never once felt invasive - we've had so many compliments about both him and his photos. James even took a tumble in the flowerbeds whilst trying to capture the perfect night shot - that is true dedication! We couldn't recommend him more - if you want beautiful, candid photos then James is your guy! Genuinely, from the bottom of both of our hearts, thank you for being part of our day, it was a pleasure to have you there with us.

James really is the dream wedding photographer! We were recommended him from a friend and got great vibes from the off. From the very first chat and from looking through previous wedding pics, we knew James was ‘the one’. The website and payment reminders were really handy and made the process smooth. On to the big day… James has a great way of making you feel comfortable and blended in seamlessly as we got ready. He’s a true professional and knows exactly when and where to be at all times. We were blown away by the pictures in our preview - they were everything we imagined and so much more. It’s so nice to scroll back through the final album and reminisce - the pictures have received so many compliments from our guests (the sharing link is very handy!!). Thank you so so much for capturing our special day James, you were perfect!

Fabulous!!!! Fabulous!!! Fabulous!!

James is such a cool, calm collective guy, and we could not have chosen a better person to capture our special day.

Through the build up, all the way through to the day, James provided the best advice for efficiency and precision for capturing all the elements of our wedding day. Being discrete in the backgrounds when he needed to be capturing all our natural special moments , whilst being organised and coordinated when it came to formal photos.

We feel very blessed and are overwhelmed with how stunning our photos turned out, with James capturing moments and details we had forgotten about!!

James thank you for being the calm, providing us with structure and advice on how to capture our special day and most importantly for using your talent to provide us with our memories that will last a life time!!

We are forever grateful, and hope others get to experience your talent too!!

Wow. Where to begin!? James was an absolute delight as our wedding photographer in June 2024! From the moment we met him, his friendly and approachable nature put us at ease. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing our special day with such warmth and creativity. What truly stood out was his attentive professionalism - he was always on top of every detail, ensuring that nothing was missed. James perfectly balanced being both present and unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our day while he worked his magic. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with his work. Highly recommend!

We were a bit nervous going into our wedding photoshoot since we don't consider ourselves very photogenic, but James made us feel completely comfortable just being ourselves. His relaxed and professional approach put us at ease right away. The pictures turned out absolutely stunning, far beyond our expectations, and we will treasure them forever. The attention to detail, from the placement to the styling of each shot, was truly remarkable. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, we highly recommend James — you won’t regret it!

James was the first thing I booked for our wedding - I knew after following him on Instagram I didn’t want anybody else to photograph our day. I made the best decision!

James was calming, professional, made us very comfortable, and you barely knew he was there. We much prefer a candid photograph which is very much James’ style - he captured the joy and vibrancy of the day perfectly. We also got some incredible drone shots which are so unique.

James provided a preview of our wedding photos so quickly (the next morning!) which was amazing as we had some shots to share. When we then received the full gallery we had hundreds of shots - all as perfect as the last. Goodness knows how we are going to pick our favourites!

Do not hesitate to book James, everybody has said how beautifully our day was captured.

James is a brilliant photographer and we are both thrilled with our wedding photos. James is warm and friendly and got on well with guests and suppliers alike. He is well experienced and got many brilliant shots in his creative style. We had some family portraits but definitely wanted more of a relaxed vibe with our photographs and James more than delivered.
James was very helpful in the run up to the wedding, answering any questions I had and giving great advice.
James’ images truly tell a story of our whole day, from getting ready to ceremony, drinks reception to party time! He even got a large number of photos ready as a preview the the next day - I’ve no idea how he managed it but it was fabulous to see the photos so soon.
We can’t wait to get some images printed out for display, the only trouble will choosing which ones!

James was amazing from the moment we booked him 2 years prior to our wedding right through to completion of our album. He made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day, and effortlessly captured such amazing cherished moments. Service is first class and you always know what to expect with James- brilliant communication & standard throughout. Thank you so much for capturing our day. Emily & Roxy x

We are so thrilled that we chose James to be our wedding photographer. From the initial enquiry stage, he was a pleasure to work with. We wanted fun, relaxed photos to capture our day and oh my goodness, James exceeded every expectation we had. He navigated us through the day so effortlessly, capturing all of the special moments - the quirky moments, the laughs, the party, the first dance, the food....he didn't miss a thing. We have so many memories from that day thanks to James and we can't stop looking through our photos. We can't pick our favourite as we have so many to choose from. Thank you so much James for all of the very special memories from the most perfect day.
