"James is absolutely amazing! We hired James a little over a year ago for our wedding! We were not getting married in our hometown so we decided to find someone in the town would get married in! We had our Engagement session with James this past June in Roanoke Virginia. We were nervous before going, because sometimes the first session with a new photographer can be a little uncomfortable. Ours was FAR from it! We had the absolute best time! Not to mention the pictures we got back from it were absolutely incredible. I could not recommend James more! Before our wedding James kept in touch and up to date with everything! This helped ease my anxiety before our big day. James arrived ahead of schedule on our wedding day and got started immediately! He is by far our favorite photographer that we have worked with and we will definitely be making trips to Roanoke in the future just to book sessions with him! We got our wedding pictures back and they are absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better! We highly recommend booking James!

Thank you so much again!"

"I run a small business as a fiber artist and James is my exclusive photographer. He is excellent at capturing vibrant, and moody colors and, while he follows directions to a T, he also brings his own artistic eye to help create stunning visions that I can use for marketing and promo. I always trust his ability to harness the look I'm going for and he always brings positivity, integrity and respect to the shoots. I appreciate his flexibility and ability to deliver high quality images, dependably."

“I cannot recommend James highly enough! He has always listened to what I want in a session and been willing to give helpful suggestions when I am unsure. Not only is he very personable and professional, but his work is amazing time and time again. I have done several different sessions with him on a variety of styles from the dark and moody cosplay photos to the professional portraits for LinkedIn. Hands down, one of the best photographers you'll come across!”

"James took senior-style pictures of my sophomore son to capture a stage of life. At the shoot, James was pleasant and joking with my son, while continuing to take pictures and change things up to keep my son engaged. As a result, James captured a variety of my son's typical expressions and personality in the photo series. My son even liked the vast majority of his pictures, even the ones with his little facial quirks! I would absolutely hire James again for pictures of any kind; he manages to get the best natural expressions while making the whole process feel easy and not awkward!"

“Thank you so much for all of the hard work that you put into our big day. We love working with you because it is so easy to see your passion for photography. Thank you for making the wedding such an easy process, you have such a great eye for photography. We did not even entertain the idea of having anyone else do our wedding because of how much we loved our engagement pictures! You’re awesome!”

"Having James capture our vow renewal solidified the day. The pictures were amazing; his eye for details did not disappoint. He was also extremely humble and a people person. We were never rushed and we got to do things however we wanted. We are so thankful he capture our day and we are looking forward to booking more sessions in the future! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful all around beautiful experience!"

“I wanted to propose to my girlfriend at the top of McAfee Knob at sunrise and needed someone to capture the moment. James was without a doubt the man for the job. He hiked to the top starting at 2AM without question or complaint. He blended in undetected and was able to get some amazing, candid shots at the moment of the proposal and then did a little engagement session after. James was great to work with and I highly recommend him for whatever you are planning!”
