I prefer to photograph more relaxed weddings, and/or smaller, more intimate weddings with close friends and family. I specialise in natural, spontaneous photos that capture the genuine feeling and emotion of your special day. I don't go in for filters, A I, Photoshop and other unnecessary post-production work on your photos, as decades of experience shows that the more natural, real photos will stand the test of time

If this sounds like you, please contact me, check my availability, and let's talk about your wedding photography. I'm reasonably flexible price-wise

I am an experienced photographer in several fields 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 get in touch.

My photography service includes providing all of the good digital photos taken on your wedding day 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 is always available.

I am totally comfortable with same-sex, LGBTQI+ weddings and civil union ceremonies.

As an option, I can shoot on film too, black & white and/or colour film.
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 don't work with package deals. I prefer to keep things flexible and 100% transparent.

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

Unsolicited testimonial





"The style of photography we were aeeking 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."
