Rob James

I’m Rob, a wedding photographer with a background in art direction, a passion for storytelling, and a love for creating images that feel both timeless and modern. My journey in photography is shaped by years in art direction, design and music where my eye for detail and composition developed into a signature style.

This foundation has allowed me to look beyond just capturing moments and focus on how each image will make you feel, how it will live on, not only on screen but as tangible memories for generations to come. Above all else I believe in the power of asking the right questions beforehand so that I can truly understand your journey as a couple, I believe a wedding isn’t just an event; its the culmination of your lives so far both with and without each other. It’s the intricacies, your hopes , fears and dreams all intertwined to create a wonderful narrative like no other.

I work in a documentary, editorial style with a touch of fashion influence, crafting honest, artistic images that capture not only the iconic moments but also the subtle, unguarded ones that make each wedding day so personal; I like to call these the moments between moments. My relaxed approach helps couples feel comfortable, allowing those moments to unfold naturally. I’m inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson with his dynamic framing the subtle storytelling of Yosuf Karsh, honest interiors from Mark Anthony Fox and awe inspiring landscapes by Emmett Sparling.

When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m capturing life with my wonderful wife, Tara who sings songs with her band all across the world and navigating our way through the tornado that is parenthood, courtesy of our newest addition to the family lil baby Jesse!

We are very fortunate to see a vast blend of countries and cultures in our jobs, this of course is something that influences heavily on my creative output when I’m capturing weddings.

We got engaged in 2019 and married a couple of years after in the sunny South of France. So I know a thing or two about the crazy wonderful journey you’re about to embark up on and I’m always more than happy to answer any non photography related queries you may have.

My favourite place in the world is Marrakech (brownie points if you’re getting married there). My go to film is interstellar, top drink of choice is an amaretto sour. In my spare time love all things that are interior design and house renovation esque.

Life for me is this beautiful blend of calm and chaos, I get to travel to cool places and meet interesting people along the way. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
