About Carl James Photography

Hello, I'm Carl James i am a wedding Photography based in Derbshire in the East Midlands. My journey in the industry began with landscape photography and has since extended to the world of weddings. Two of my proudest moments in photography, firstly, was when i had my work published and the second, when i said yes to my first wedding, since then i have been hooked. The raw emotion, romance, and theatrics of this momentous occasion really drew me to this style of photography. I offer hybrid shooting so i shoot Photo and Video. Nothing captures your day like a video to music. My workflow anchers itself on getting you the most beautiful photos in the most efficient way. I want you to enjoy your day and not drag you away for the entire cocktail hour. The wedding day is about you two and this is why i believe my candid approach is favourable. Since my first wedding i have fallen head over heels for wedding photography and i take pride in photographing couples who match my energy and of course being head over heels for each other. Capturing the candid and unscripted moments is at the heart of my carefully perfected craft. I understands that formal posed pictures can be daunting for most and i lean into this by favouring a candid approach. i.e keep you moving and snapping the cute intimate moments inbetween. Hybrid shooting is the method i go by, meaning i will alternate between videography and photography throughout the day. However if its just photo or just video then that is fine too. I do offer buy now, pay later with Klarna options, which is extra handy if you are booking me last minute Please reach out for more information or if you have any questions.

Carl was amazing from start to finish. His pricing is more than reasonable, If you're looking for a wedding photographer, stop searching and book Carl James. From the very first message, Carl stood out from everyone else. There were no pushy sales tactics, no pressure to book, and no endless phone…

If you’re getting married or have an event you need a photographer for, I can’t recommend Carl enough. He’s professional but at the same time makes you feel so relaxed, we’ve had a sneak peak at some of our photos from the day and they’re just incredible, he’s so talented

Carl photographed our wedding in July 2025 and he was just amazing! Everything from the initial meeting to the final photos was perfect. Carl listened to everything we wanted and gave us great suggestions. Carl didn’t put any pressure on and made us feel so at ease when taking photos. Carl is so…
