Wedding photography
These days I prefer to photograph more relaxed weddings, and/or smaller, more intimate weddings with close friends and family. I specialise in natural, relaxed photos that capture the genuine feel and emotion of your special day. I don't go in for filters, Photoshop effects and other post-production work on the photos, as I prefer more genuine photos that will stand the test of time.
If that sounds like you, please contact me, check my availability, and let's talk about your wedding photography and discuss the fee. I'm fairly flexible.
I am an experienced photographer in many fields of photography - see profile - and have been photographing weddings professionally since the mid-1990s.
If you're looking for a reliable photographer who has the skill and experience to capture the key moments as they happen, is unobtrusive (except for when shooting that big group photo) and will provide you with a large number of good photos with no strings attached, please contact me. My photography service includes all the digital photos taken on your wedding day (edited and tweaked first) and you can make your own digital photo album and use the photos as you wish (just not for commercial purposes). I am able to offer help and advice, and additional Photoshop work if needed, but I prefer it if you take charge of the finished photography, making your own digital albums and prints. Backup service ais always available. I am totally comfortable with same-sex weddings and civil union ceremonies. I can shoot on film too, black & white and/or colour. I've photographed more than 150 weddings entirely on film. How much will this cost? Please let me know the date, location, scope and time frame for the photography, approx. number of guests and other relevant info and I'll give you a cost estimate. I'm not expensive, and I won't hook you into any package deals.
If this all sounds good to you, the next step is to make an appointment to come in to Photospace, 37 Courtenay Place, and discuss your wedding photography. Contact James Gilberd |

"These photos are absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much. You've really captured the essence and the mood of the day which is exactly what we were hoping for."

"The style of photography we were seeking for our wedding made the choice of photographer very easy. We were delighted with the combination of the candid approach, using classic black and white film, combined with the more contemporary formal and group shots. If you are looking for something with more character than the obligatory high-key colour shots then James and his team are what you're looking for."
