Testimonials

"Not only were James and Ellie able to beautifully capture the events of the day, they were able to highlight who Chris and I are as a couple along with the emotions that were felt throughout the day all through photographs. Beyond their photographic ability, what became more important to me were James and Ellie's kind and patient personalities. This was exceptionally helpful as a bride planning a wedding through a pandemic. I can not say enough about how grateful I am for James and Ellie and the next time we need a professional photographer, they will be our first call." - Megan and Chris, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

"James went above and beyond for our big day. Not only did he capture every detail we imagined, his team and him highlighted unexpected moments that are some of our favorite shots. Throughout the process he continued to be purposeful with every detail. His vision is the perfect balance of contemporary and traditional. We could not have had a more perfect experience." - Janelle and Joseph, Southern Pines, North Carolina

"The best photographer ever! We hired James for my daughter's wedding and I couldn't have been happier. Prior to the wedding he made sure to meet with us to ensure what our expectations were and what kind of pictures we wanted. We couldn't be happier he was the photographer we chose for my daughter's special day. Thank you for capturing such amazing memories that we'll be able to cherish forever!" - Bethany, Mother of the Bride, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

"James and Ellie are a fabulous husband and wife photography team. They did an incredible job with our wedding; the ceremony at St. Paul Cathedral and the reception at the Music Hall Foyer at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. Better yet, they took A LOT of pictures, so we got to see parts of our wedding day that we didn't even know happened. They're professional, kind, experienced, and among the best in the area.
