James has been photographing people for about twenty years. He's photographed models for magazines and agencies in L.A., N.Y.C., Miami, Paris, and lived in Portugal and Greece for extended periods of time. About eight years ago he returned to San Diego and photographed a wedding for a friend and fell in love with it. "It's such an incredible day to spend with people - it's one of the most important (and happiest) days of their life and they're surrounded by all the people they love. It's an honor and a privilege to share in this day and create lasting memories. The images created are much more important and the rewards of a job well done are much greater than any fashion photos done for a magazine."

Because of his fashion photography background, James is very good with lighting and portraits. Many times brides have commented on how beautiful they look in their photos (that they look like models). James' wedding photography is a combination of 'Traditional and Photojournalistic' styles, in both black & white and color.

"The most exciting part of photographing weddings for me, aside from being surrounded by all the beauty and all the love, is seeing this reflected in peoples' faces and capturing the expressions and emotions in their eyes."
