ENGAGEMENT AND PRE-WEDDING PORTFOLIO
“My fiancée and I had the best experience with James, he did the photography for our surprise proposal. He is such a great guy, friendly and supportive. We absolutely loved the photos he took :)” - Roy
Whether you are looking for photographer to capture your ‘yes’ moment, or wanting to remember a milestone, here at Just James Weddings, we cater for all your needs. Asking for your partners hand in marriage is a massive moment in your journey together and having this moment captured is a very undervalued experience. On this page, we try to explain the benefits of having such photoshoots, whilst also providing you with a collection of photographs and testimonials of engagement, or pre-wedding photoshoots to helpfully inform your decision to book with us.
Surprise Proposal Photoshoots
There is simply nothing better as a wedding photographer to capture than the moment of a proposal. Pure natural emotion spills out on all the photos and it makes for a great way to immortalise a milestone in every couples journey together. What better way for you to communicate with me to organise such a thing, with help in every step of the planning. I absolutely love making these photoshoots so special and also being there at the time to.
“James is an exceptional photographer who made my surprise proposal unforgettable. He captured the moment beautifully, showing genuine enthusiasm and happiness” - Julia
Engagement Photography
Picture yourselves having just become engaged and you want fantastic photos to help celebrate that special moment. What better way to do this than book an engagement photoshoot. I always encourage couples to plan a session like this to mainly help you feel relaxed on your big day around a camera, and of course have great photos to use for invites, wedding newspapers, service sheets, etc. Whilst not compulsary, I am finding more and more couples settling in on the idea on booking their wedding photographer to capture this moment.
“We booked James for an engagement shoot so that we could get used to being infront of the camera and know what to expect before our big day. We both hate being photographed, so were super nervous, but James put us completely at ease ... so much so, we actually really enjoyed the experience!” - Beth & Tom
Pre-Wedding Photo Session
Similar to an engagement photoshoot, having a pre-wedding photoshoot is a great way to (1) meet your wedding photographer (2) get more comfortable in front of a camera (3) practise both natural and posed styles (4) have great photos to remember an important part of your lives together.
“We had a beautiful pre-wedding photoshoot on the Bristol Downs which James made feel natural and special beyond what we were expecting. He is very professional, organised and clear, and he really knows his stuff” - Ali & Alex
