Reviews

The best part of my job is reading the kind words from my couples once they have received their wedding albums. Here are a few testimonies I have received from over the last couple of years.

Esther & Gareth | Quex Park

If you're in any doubt as to whether to book James as your wedding photographer then I'm telling you, DO IT! James has been amazing. Due to Covid we have had to reschedule our wedding 4 times. James has been accommodating to our needs, professional and helpful throughout. We recently received our edited wedding album back and we absolutely love it. Both my husband and I had tears in our eyes when looking at the photos as everything was just so perfectly captured. James was super discreet on the day and I hardly noticed him there which explains how he got some brilliant and candid photographs. We particularly loved our evening shoot with just me and my husband - the lighting was amazing and James took some photos which we will be showing off for a very long time.

Thank you so much James, we will be recommending you to so many couples!

JD shot our wedding in Deal on 29 June (10am-10pm). I can't explain how much I do not like being photographed so was dreading the whole wedding pics thing. During our pre-meetings, we got to see James' gallery and it felt like we'd known him for ages which really made the day so much easier. He was one of the crowd (albeit dressed in black!). Our professional pics capture our venues plus all the happy, soppy, moving and romantic bits incredibly well and with a really distinct style. We have great group shots, guest shots, pre-ceremony and ceremony pics as well as evening reception. Our evening portrait shoot was a brilliant way to get a much needed breather, was surprisingly relaxing and a lovely way to take stock of what had happened that day! Our portrait pics really reflect our personalities and make the most of our venue too. It was all so easy and not awkward at all. James promised he'd have our pics ready for our return from our honeymoon and there they were, online and presented really well too on a site that is really easy to share and use; favourites, placing orders as well as downloading the lot. We're amazed that JD soldiered on in the heat (completely unphased it seemed! - unlike me, roasting in full length dress!). Overall, James is an absolute star, a lovely lovely guy to have around and work with and we love the style of his shots and album. Highly recommended & a huge THANK YOU!!

Gabby & Joseph | Eastwell Manor

James photographed our wedding day at Eastwell Manor in October. The photographs were nothing short of stunning. He photographed the autumnal colours, and the natural unfolding of the most important day of our lives, with such skill. He is a true artist. We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a photographer who is a cut above the many wedding photographers out there.


Beth & Mike | Lympne Castle

Would highly recommend! We booked James for our wedding which was originally planned for November 2020. Due to the pandemic we had to re-arrange and James helped us arrange for our new date with no complications and at no extra cost - we really appreciated this as it was obviously quite a stressful time to be planning a wedding!

We finally had our wedding day on Nov.6th 2021 and it was well worth waiting for! James did an amazing job of capturing our special day and was incredibly skilled at just blending into the background but somehow managing to capture all our family and guests in some beautiful natural shots.

We were so happy with our wedding album which we received promptly after our special day - as well as obliging us with a few sneak peeks just a few days after!

Both of us wouldn't hesitate to recommend James Davies as your wedding photographer - he did an amazing job and we will treasure our beautiful photos forever.

Thank you so much James!

Megan & Chris | The East Quay

James was amazing from start to finish. The photos are beyond what we could have dreamed or even hoped for. He has captured the day in a way that means we can relive it over and over. He made us feel really comfortable during the portrait shots and the rest of the time we didn’t even realise he was were there. Thank you again for creating these photos which we will truly cherish.


Lewis & Zoe | The Hythe Imperial

We we're looking for a wedding photographer and we had contacted a few who we're pushy and then we spotted James's advert on Facebook, we browsed his page and loved his style of photography so we went to see him at his studio. We walked away knowing we have made the correct decision without him even taking a photo!

James was very professional, relaxed and got the details he needed to use and organise our photographs on the day.

James arrived on time, was very polite, very professional and started to snap away, natural photography and needless to say, once we received the photographs back, we wasn't disappointed.

The photos were incredible, we are so happy with them, and he was worth every penny in our eyes. If your looking for a photographer for any occasion not just weddings, James is your man!

Thank you James for making our day that little bit more special with the images we didnt see on the day.


Linda & Sam | The Blazing Donkey

We are so glad we booked James for our wedding in September 2019.

James' photography was the exact style we wanted our photographs in! He made us feel so at ease and comfortable, we didn't even realise he was there! We absolutely love our photographs, as do our friends and family. Every time we look at the photographs we relive the day! I cannot recommend James enough for capturing our day in the most perfect way.


Jennifer & Satish | Marleybrooke House

I cannot recommend James enough. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. James was so organised and responsive right from the outset and made us feel so at ease. Picking a photographer wasn’t easy as there are so many out there to choose from. We chose James as his photos were natural and from his portfolio he seemed to capture what we fell in love about our wedding venue. Since making that decision we have been nothing but delighted with the incredibly personable but professional experience we have received and such amazing quality of the photos. James went out of his way to discuss with us what we wanted for our day and he worked hard the entire day ( almost 12 hours!) With his relaxed approach it was easy to be natural in front of the camera as you barely knew it was there and he quickly felt like part of the wedding party. The shot of me and dad at the altar is one I will treasure forever. Thank you James for such a truly wonderful experience and the incredible capturing of so many incredible memories.


Richard & Sam | Quex House

James' photographic expertise and experience helped us capture the most perfect photos that we could have asked for. We met several photographers before getting in contact with James, who didn't fill us with confidence as they seemed pushy for what sort of photos that THEY wanted to capture. However, James didn't make us feel like this. He was very relaxed (in a good way) with what sort of pictures we wanted. I am indeed no expert in photography but I know that James took are of a very high quality and professionalism. Thank you James for capturing our day perfectly. 5 stars, highly recommended.


Laura & Grant | East Quay

James is quite simply an incredible wedding photographer and we are so so glad we decided to go with him to capture our day. His communication pre wedding was spot on, his planning of the day itself is well thought out, and on the day didn't get in anyone's way which meant he captured every gorgeous non posed reaction. Unlike other wedding photographers you speak to, there's no hard sell of photo books and other expensive add on's - James just loves photography, loves what he does, and loves capturing the most important day in people's lives. Thank you James, you've given us photos that ourselves, family and friends will cherish for a lifetime.
