A little bit about James ... 
Potential clients often ask me - how long have you been a photographer? In a light hearted response I may reply - long enough to know quite a bit about what I am doing, but not long enough to be bored or stuck in a rut! In all seriousness however, following college, I began my professional career in 1999. As a photojournalist for the Opelika Auburn news. While working at the paper a fellow photographer asked if I would assist him with a particular wedding job. It was similar to what I was already doing, the emotion the fast pace the constant attention to detail, I loved it. Following that day, and a number of other such assists, I began the transformation to working with brides and grooms, and to location portraiture.

Weddings and portraiture make up the majority my photography, and since 1999, every year I strive to go beyond what I have done in the past. Though most of my collage training was oriented towards photojournalism it turns out that it made for the best foundation for wedding photography.

Photography Philosophy 
Your images should reflect who you are, not merely a collection of set arrangements. My goal is to present you with a collection of images that will not only bring back memories and emotions years from now, but do so in a non-intrusive, enjoyable, and creative fashion.

Additional Staff 
I strongly believe in the benefit of an assistant, and/or second photographer for photographing your event. I have a pool of qualified personnel who work with me for your benefit, be it an extra hand on a blustery afternoon, or being in two places at the same time. A second or third person is not a luxury for your photography, it is essential for the quality and value you receive from our services. This value is thoroughly displayed in the custom quality of your finished album(s).

Association Memberships 
As part of my belief in continued education and professionalism, I actively belong to the following associations: 
PPA – Professional Photographers of America 
GCPPA_ Gulf Coast Professional Photographers Association 2006 Secretary

Outside Interests 
My two daughters, Kali and Delaney! They are the light of my life and better at looking good through the camera than I am as a photographer.
