Hi, I am James.


Thanks for stopping by! I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Milwaukee, WI. I have over 15 years of experience photographing Domestic and International weddings. If I were to describe my style, it is a focus on capturing real moments with a splash of editorial flair. Early on, I was fortunate to travel and work on photojournalism assignments which further developed my passion for telling a story through imagery. I carry this mindset in every shoot. If you're like most of the people in this world, you are not in front of camera every day and the thought can be nerve racking. I have a big personality and I'm here for you to make the process of being photographed fun and easy going! I would love to work with you to create fabulous images. Enjoy browsing around and feel free to follow me on Social Media to get to know me better and see more recent shoots, family life and personal work. Send me a note with any questions/comments - Hope to hear from you soon!



Testimonials

“We can simply not thank James enough for capturing our wedding as perfectly as he did. After the last dance is danced, the gifts are unwrapped and the dress is cleaned the pictures are what we will always have to cherish the memories of the day we said I do. The photographs James left us with are more than we could have ever imagined. They are not only a reflection of his skills as a photographer but of the way he goes the extra mile to know you!”

—Allie and TJ

“Working with James for our wedding day and engagement session was amazing. He goes so far above and beyond. Both with the engagement session and wedding day I had very specific pictures I wanted, and he captured each moment I hoped to get. We have so many beautiful pictures from our wedding day, and for that reason alone I would recommend James without reservation. But the added bonus of having James as your photographer is he is fun!”

His creativity and knowledge resulted in wonderful pictures of my wedding day”

“James really did a great job at our wedding! I am sure the bride is supposed to have at least some idea of what type of photos she wants. I had no idea and relied on James' experience. He is experienced enough to advise the couple on every aspect of the photography. He is unobtrusive and always gets the shot. He is pleasant and accommodating, making it impossible to be uncomfortable in front of the camera. My photos turned out so beautiful”
