Wedding Industry Awards 2012

Comments provided from wedding couples who we photographed in 2010 - 2011
“I would recommend James Bowyer because he offers a high quality service for a sensible price. What really stood out for us was the speed and dedication after the day - we spent ages at their house choosing shots for our album and it was delivered by James very quickly indeed.”
“We have already recommended James more than once. James was so attentive ahead of the Wedding, visiting each location and providing a detailed itinerary - just the reassurance a bride-to-be needs! On the day James was excellent. We had a late Wedding and were very time conscious. James worked with this so well and managed to avoid anyone feeling rushed. James gave the same commitment and enthusiasm from first thing in the morning until he left that evening. Since our Wedding James has been so accommodating of us and any requests we have made of him. He has provided so many options in terms of how we capture our perfect day in an album. On the day James captured some really perfect moments and I love his attention to detail - with photos of my shoes, flowers, rings and so on. I really can't rate James highly enough and would strongly recommend him to anyone getting married. I could not fault a single thing. Thank you so much James!”

“James and his wife Louise have been fantastic every step of the way.. it is so hard to find the perfect photographer to capture the unique special moments you want on the most important day of your life. From the moment we met them they put us at ease and it was clear to see in previous work that photography for James is not work it is a passion! from the first consultation James and Louise showed a keen interest to get to know my Husband and I, they happily shared a vast amount of previous works and had a different album styles to hand so we could get a clear idea of the style of photography that we wanted. In our eyes no other service from previous photographers compared to that which we received from James & Louise A month before the wedding we were invited back to their home in Eye to finalise requirements. As part of our package and I believe all packages they offer we had a pre-wedding photo session. This we thought was a brilliant idea and really got used to James taking the pictures as it can be quite hard to smile and pose in front of people you’re not so familiar with. This is a service that no other photographer we come across offered without paying an additional fee. On the wedding day James was excellent he was efficient, patient and creative. The final pictures are more than we could ever have wished for, they are truly amazing and capture the magic of our wedding day.”

“A fantastic, friendly, professional, and trustworthy photographer, who listens to the client, and delivers with maximum quality, but at a reasonable price.”
“Great value for money and some fantastic photographs! Hundreds of positive comments from our guests and friends” -
“James Bowyer Photography is a very professional business. The pair work very well in working together to give the customer a good quality service. James worked well to sell himself and was able to answer any questions myself and my fiancé had during the initial phases or choosing a photographer. At the ceremony itself James was early and very proactive in making sure he had a good knowledge of the area and the order of the day. He also conducted himself with the up most professionalism throughout the service itself. The end result was fantastic and worth the hard work and effort. James stayed until agreed and moved seamlessly around the venue capturing great shots that we though really captured the day. James attitude and sense of humour was also brilliant throughout which led on to us having an epic photo story book to show of forever more.”
“James was fantastic, he blended in and took some amazing shots, without us even knowing he was there. He took the time to find out what was important to us before hand and made sure the fine detail was picked up in the shots, even after his time had finished if he saw an opportunity he was clicking away well in to the evening. Because of the level of service all round we have since recommended him to several of our friends. Made a special day last a life time!!!” -
“My husband and I both agreed when looking for a wedding photographer that we wanted to find someone genuine who made us feel relaxed as we were after all trusting them to catch memories for us. James and Louise not only made us both feel comfortable, but were genuinely interested in our wedding details adding to the outstanding service. The quality of our finished photo album is exceptional and was provided at an excellent value for money. We could not advise any improvements to the service provided or fault it in any way. We would recommend James and Louise to anyone.”

“My husband and I have been thrilled with the quality of our wedding photos. We have had so many people compliment us on how fantastic the photos are, and asking about the photographer. We have shared his details with 2 couples already and our wedding was only in august. James and his colleague were brilliant on the day - we hardly noticed he was there (in a good way!) and would recommend him 100%. We can't wait to see our finished album, Louise has been really helpful with this.”
“James and his assistant put us at ease on our wedding day and before it. He bought fun and professionalism into our day and we would highly recommend him to our friends and family, we will definitely be using James Bowyer Photography at future events.”
“A lovely, welcoming business with exceptional standards, great understanding of what we wanted from our wedding photos. Everyone has commented on the photographs and will use this company.” -
“James was fantastic he was great at communicating with us. My husband and I now live in Qatar however at the time of organising the wedding I was still living in the UK so you can imagine how difficult this was to no groom to help!! My husband came over to the UK when he could however being a pilot is a demanding job and days off are very random. James was lovely, my husband was able to communicate via e-mails and calls when he was out of the UK and James was extremely prompt in replying (within 24 hours!!) When my husband, Myles was back in UK James always made time for us even at 8pm at night to make sure we were happy! He really was a star as I thought I would have to decide by myself as Myles' time in the UK was so little. On the day James was very professional and listened to everything we had said prior to our big day. It went smoothly and many of our guest were very impressed with James. It was even James' wife birthday on the day of the wedding and there was no sense of rush to leave which was lovely!! We had to leave for Qatar 10 days after our wedding and James was able to schedule a meeting to show us all of photos of our day that had also been edited which we were amazed by. With this he also gave us a CD of all of our photos so we had some photos to show our friends in Qatar. We are now just waiting to collect our album on our next visit to the UK as we don't quite trust the postal system out here!! But I cant wait to get my hands on it!!”

“I hate having my photo taken but I was made to feel completely at ease and I loved the end product.”

“We choose James via the internet and made an appointment to discuss the options, we were really impressed with his relaxed attitude but knowledge of photography and ability to judge and see a good photo from the examples he showed us. He and his wife were very friendly, likable and down to earth. Their love for photography is clear and filled us with confidence. It was clear that James had his ideas for photos before and during the day, however we and other parties of the wedding felt able to ask him to take various other photos throughout the day. The photos did not take over the wedding and he spend just the right amount of time taking them so we were still able to fully enjoy our day and the results are amazing and real mix of posed shots and relaxed shots that really capture our day and how much we and other guest enjoyed it. The service before the wedding was good as was the service after and they have enable us to view the photos promptly after returning from honeymoon and have produced the products and enabled us to have them as quickly as possible. I would and will be recommending James to friends and family and we would not hesitate to have special moments captured by him in the future.”

“Although we knew James and his wife Louise prior to selecting our wedding photographer he was definitely the right choice. Having researched the market i felt a confidence in James from his professional approach and taking our requirements seriously. He spent sufficient prep time with both myself and my partner making sure things were right for the day including a site visit. On the day itself James captured some fantastic photos, some of which i didn't even realise until we saw the finished product. He really captured the day with both posed and natural shots - exactly what i had asked for. Overall a great selection of photos provided and turned around very quickly within 2-3 weeks and the album shortly after that. His wife Louise had a great eye for pulling this together.”

“James was very friendly and made us feel at ease on our wedding day and our engagement shoot. The photograph's are of exceptional standard with a very big selection of different types and styles to pick from for our wedding album. On our wedding day, James suffered with a very bad back, but this did not affect the quality of the photo's and was very professional throughout the day considering this.”
“James made me and my wife very comfortable in the lead up to and on our wedding day. James was able to show us sorts of photography’s and effect prior to our big day so that we were able to get the very most out of our photography’s on the day.”
“I would recommend James Bowyer Photography to any couple looking for wedding photographers. The photos and final album are simply stunning and James and his wife made us feel like our wedding was important to them - not just in terms of business, but in terms of producing the best possible photographs. From the planning stage right up to the day of the wedding I felt confident that we had made a really good choice - and we we right! Thank you James.” -
“We have been very happy with the service we received. James took many photos on the day, many we were not expecting and all of our photos are of exceptionally high quality.”
“We had a budget be had to stick to. I really think if we had paid double our photo's could have not been any better.” -
“We would not hesitate to recommend James Bowyer Photography. From start to finish James and Louise dealt with every aspect in a professional and friendly manner. The package was tailored specifically to our requirements and they have a very personal approach. The pre- wedding portrait session included in the package is excellent, particularly as we had the choice for it to take place outside or in the studio. The website is clear and easy to use and all enquiries and emails are dealt with promptly and effectively. On our wedding day James worked in an unobtrusive manner and captured traditional style shots as well as natural ones which is what we had requested. After the wedding and on a date of our choice we were able to visit James and Louise and view all of the images on a large TV screen. We were left to watch the slideshow in private and we felt this was a great way to view our images. We were delighted with the package and the images. Many thanks to James and Louise.”

“James is assertive yet friendly and gets the results. The photo's are well edited, bringing out the best colour, even when we had a bit of an overcast day!”
“We could not have asked for a better service from James and his wife. I would have no hesitation in recommending James Bowyer Photography to anyone at all.”
“James was brilliant on the day professionally getting all the photos we wanted and some brilliant ones we would never have thought of. He managed to un-obtrusively capture the day we planned and made the best of bad weather picking a really beautiful part of the conservatory with good natural lighting. Looking back over the photos you would never know it had rained all day! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James to friends for their weddings.”
