JAMES TRACEY PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM
Wedding Photography & Videography
For Couples Who Don't Pose
The Real Moments
95% of the day you will be with your friends and family, no posing, no staging. Just real, genuine moments. I'm here for the smiles, the laughter, the real emotions, I want to capture those moments as they happen.
Your Unique Story
No two weddings are the same and my photography and videography wil reflect you and your day. Your photography and video will be your unique story to re-live over and over again.
Experienced Award Winner
I've covered over 500 weddings during the past 13 years and won multiple international awards for my wedding photography & videography. including 2023 TWIA Wedding Videographer of The Year.
Meet James...
Yorkshire Tea addict, pizza lover, Formula One nerd, 80’s movie geek.
My Mastermind specialist subject would be The Sopranos. I can usually be found planning a holiday to somewhere that has featured in a movie.
I’m husband to my beautiful wife Laura and dad to my two young girls Ana and Jaime.
13 years ago I quit my full time job and started photographing weddings. In that time I’ve shot over 500 weddings as a photographer and wedding filmmaker (you can see my award winning wedding films over at James Tracey Films) and I still can’t quite believe I get to call this my full time job.
Our Marriage Story
Holiday Romance
I met Laura in Malia in Crete whilst I was on holiday. For the movie buffs, Malia is of course where The Inbetweeners movie is set.
The Proposal
I asked Laura to marry me over afternoon tea in 2011 at The Plaza Hotel in New York, the same hotel Kevin stays at in Home Alone 2.
Our Wedding
We got married in 2012, our first dance song was Against All Odds by Phil Collins which was written for the movie of the same name (although I’ve never seen it).
What's Documentary Photography Then?
Documentary, reportage, natural photography. They all all mean the same thing. It’s the real moments that happen during your wedding day, I don’t stage anything, I don’t set things up, I observe, wait and capture the real emotion, the laughter, the hugs, the (happy) tears, all whilst you spend the majority of your day with your friends and family. If details, lay flats of your invites, posed couple photos and lots and lots of groups shots are your thing, I’m going to be honest, I’m not the photographer for you. My style is for couples who just want the to be present in day, spending time with their family and friends, sharing the laughter, the love and all the good stuff that comes from being surrounded by all the people who love you the most. I’m all about capturing the real story of your wedding day, catching moments as they happen.
So No Couple Photos?
Whilst the vast majority of your day will be shot as it happens, we will do a very short, informal 15 minutes of very lightly directed couple photos. No awkward posing, no cheesy photos popping out from behind a tree, just the two of you enjoying a little break from the party and actually getting to hang out together (which, ironically, is quite hard to do on your wedding day!)
And What About Group Shots?
I know how important family and friends are at your wedding and I also know parents do like a few family photos. I’m never going to deny grandma a photo for the mantlepiece. I can arrange group photos quickly and easily so we can capture the important people, grandparents, parents, your siblings and bridal party, all within 10 minutes and nan will get that nice photo for the fireplace!
You Do Video Too?
Yes, I am also a wedding film maker and I’m not bad at that either (I’ve won a few awards for my wedding films too and I’m even a judge for wedding videography at The Wedding Industry Awards) so yes, I can offer video alongside photography as I have a small team who I can call upon to dive in and help me shoot both photo and video at the same time.
How Soon Are The Photos Ready?
I know that you want the photos quickly. Like really quickly. Like the day after quickly. So you’ll recieve sneak peek gallery to share within 24 hours of your wedding and you’ll receive your full gallery of all your wedding photographs in just seven days. High resolution, edited, ready to share, print and post on socials all within seven days!
