JAMES BALL WEDDINGS

AWARD WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Every wedding day is different, which is why I offer a range of options to suit every kind of celebration. From classic full-day weddings to London elopements and relaxed twilight ceremonies. However you choose to celebrate, I’m there to capture it all!

My approach is timeless and candid, focusing on the real moments as they naturally unfold, with a little gentle guidance along the way to make sure you look your best without ever feeling posed.

Below you can explore my packages, browse through pics, and get to know me a little better. And if none of the options feel quite right, just let me know, I’m always happy to create something perfectly tailored to you and your day.

Rachel, bride

''The best decision of my life was marrying my husband, the second best decision was booking James as our photographer! The whole process from start to finish was wonderful, we felt so comfortable around James and he made the day so much less stressful.'' 

My skill is in capturing authentic moments, with a more relaxed, candid style that reflects the essence of your special day, sprinkled with some editorial creativity.

 

I’ll offer gentle guidance when it helps, but you won’t be marched around or pulled away from the moments that matter!

 

The goal is to create natural, timeless albums that each tell your unique story, with a bit more of a documentary, 'fly on the wall' approach... All whilst also ensuring everyone feels at ease in front of the camera, from all of the intimate moments to the group shots.

 

Put simply...it's your wedding day with a photographer present, rather than a photoshoot with a wedding!

WHY INVEST IN JAMES BALL WEDDINGS?

Cost of investment - according to Bridebook, in 2026 the average cost of wedding photographer is between £500 - £2500 depending on experience and location, in London & South East prices increase by £200 - £500.

My packages sit within this range, I've been photographing since I bought my first camera in Nov 2015 and over the years consistently upgraded my equipment to ensure I have the best, including a drone. I'm also fully insured to give you extra assurances.

Reviews - I'm so grateful to have received some incredibly thoughtful and detailed reviews, these can be seen on my Facebook and Google pages, as well as Hitched and Bridebook. Please check them out! You can also see comments from couples on some of my Instagram posts.

Vibe - In the morning, you'll find myself being a calming influence as you're getting ready, likely with butterflies in your tummy and some good nerves ahead of the ceremony. After the ceremony, you'll both breathe a sigh of relief and I'll join you as the excitement and energy builds. Then, through couple portraits and group shots, the speeches and then onto the dancefloor, where I'll be not quite front and centre but certainly in the mix getting the shots... this is what camera insurance is for!

Style - no cheesy photos, modern and natural but with a sprinkle of editorial. I let the day play out naturally and only guide you where necessary to get the memorable photos.

Remember, of everything planned on the day, the venue, the cake, the decor, the flowers... the photos will be all that's left and will be passed through generations. This is why a timeless and true-to-day edit is important to me.

Care - I give 100% to each wedding, which is why I won't overbook. I set a limit to how many weddings I'll do per week and month. This means I have to frustratingly let down a lot of couples that enquire, even if the day is technically free :(

Speed - you'll receive sneak peeks from me within 48hrs, sometimes within 24hrs! This means you can post on socials quickly and get those 'thank you' cards out. The full gallery is typically available in 10 weeks.
