Roy and Julia’s wedding at The Crown Inn was the kind of day that just felt right… full of warmth, connection, and joyful energy. From their Glastonbury Tor proposal to a celebration closer to home in North West London, I’ve been lucky enough to witness two beautiful chapters of their story. The venue was cosy and personal, the details were thoughtful, and the dance floor? Absolutely buzzing. This day wasn’t just about tying the knot, it felt like the start of something even bigger. And I was so glad to be there for it.

2025 has been an unforgettable year so far - 13 weddings down and 20 more still to come! From rustic barns to seaside escapes, every single celebration has been completely unique and full of those emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moments that make wedding photography so special. This mid-year look back is a chance to pause and be grateful for the couples who’ve trusted me with their stories. It’s been full of laughter, golden light, and dancefloors that no one wanted to leave. And the best part? The next half of the year is looking just as exciting.

Choosing your wedding suppliers is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. Many venues offer a list of recommended suppliers, including photographers, florists, caterers, and entertainment. While this can be a great resource, it’s important to know that you’re not always obligated to choose from their list. As a professional wedding photographer at Just James Weddings, I believe that every couple deserves the freedom to create their perfect day, and that includes selecting the right suppliers for them.

As I sit down to reflect on the past few weeks, I am overwhelmed with a deep sense of gratitude and humility. Recently, I had the incredible honour of being named a finalist in not just one, but two prestigious wedding awards: The South West Wedding Awards and The Wedding Industry Awards - South West.

Capturing the enchanting wedding of Megan and Josh was a privilege that I will cherish for years to come. Their special day was a blend of heartfelt moments, picturesque settings, and pure joy, beginning with a touching ceremony at Taunton Baptist Church and culminating in a lively reception at the stunning Kia-Ora Farm and Gardens in Cullompton, Devon.
