Testimonials

Hannah & James

James…as we sit here and reflect on how perfect yesterday was we realise it wouldn’t have been half as perfect, or ran half as smoothly without you! You were not only a fantastic photographer but an all round must have for a wedding, right from getting dressed in the morning, to playing us out at night! You went above and beyond and we cannot thank you enough for making our day simply perfect! Thank-you James, you are incredible! xx

Bethan & Paul

What an amazing day we had at Paul and Bethan’s wedding. Not only did James seemingly capture all of those special moments, he really helped organise and co-ordinate the day. From Photographer to Usher to Wedding Co-ordinator to doing up the Brides dress as well as so many other things. I don’t believe the day would have gone so smoothly without your expertise. Thank you so much. My son and daughter in law had an amazing day.

 

Jamie & Julie

James, we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for being not only a phenomenal photographer but an invaluable help on our wedding day. The photographs you have taken are simply breathtaking and we could not have dreamt for better. You went above and beyond not only in the photographs you took but how you helped out throughout the day – for this we cannot be more grateful. You weren’t only there to capture the memories, you helped make them. For anyone searching for a wedding photographer, LOOK – NO – FURTHER. We have lost count of how many people have commented on how beautiful the photographs are (and we only have a handful at the moment!) Needless to say, we cannot recommend James enough. Thank you so much – we can’t wait to see the rest! Best wishes, Jamie and Julie (Mr and Mrs Gillies)

Katie & Andy

James!! Thank you so much for yesterday! The photos are unbelievable and you were just fabulous! No one could have made it as good as you did! You are amazing! Andy and I are so grateful xx

 

Claire & Richard

Hi James,

We would just like to thank you very much for making our day run as smoothly as it did. You defiantly need to update your ‘With each package you will receive’ list to include wedding organiser & coordinator! Your a fantastic photographer and we are so pleased with the photos. It’s going to take a while to decide which picture to use for the album.

Thanks again,
Richard & Claire x

 

Nicola & Dean

‘We were so thrilled with James, not only did he keep us all organised on the wedding day itself, he was incredibly supportive in the run up and also perfectly captured our day. Due to a close family bereavement we wanted to completely change our day. This meant James had to travel up to Windermere instead of 15 minutes down the road…and this is testament to his commitment to his work.
He is much more than a highly skilled photographer, he is a kind man who is clearly very experienced with working in the wedding scene. He is a calming, incredibly helpful addition to the day and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of photographer. The pictures are stunning, and so many beautiful ones to choose from.’

 

Nia & Adrian

Hi James,

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for being our photographer on our wedding day. From the moment you arrived in the morning we all felt very relaxed around you and you were very easy to get along with. Looking at some of the photos you’ve posted, they look amazing and we can’t wait to see the rest. You really helped with the organisation of the day in coordinating our family and friends and the band etc which helped with the running of the day and evening party. Your professionalism and expertise really showed on the day and we are so happy that you were recommended to us.

Thanks again.

Nia and Adrian

Hi James,

Katie has just given me the photo link to have a look as I did her makeup on the day and I just wanted to let you know that your photos are just stunning. I have worked with so many photographers but I can’t remember the last time I saw anything this good!

Natalie & Dean

We have just seen our wedding pictures for the first time. Wow…. We are blown away! James you did a brilliant job. Also on the day you were so helpful and full of advice. We really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

 

Lucy & David Davies

Hi James,

Me and David have had a very busy month since the wedding hence why we have not had a chance to express how extremely happy we are with everything that you have done for us during our wedding- not just on the day itself but the preparation, pre-photo shoot, all the details and the photos you have put on Facebook almost right away are absolutely gorgeous and we cannot wait to see more.
You are a wonderful photographer/usher/organiser/mate we could not have wished for better! Thank you ever so much for all the effort, enthusiasm and hard work you have put into our big day!

Mr&Mrs Davies (David and Lucy)

Rebecca & Gavin Jones

Hiya, me again.
We’re just on our way to Gatwick ready to head off, but we really felt we had to email you to say a huge thank you to you for everything you did for us on our most wonderful day, we really couldn’t have done it without you, and it wouldn’t have been half the day we had without you! Thanks again, speak to you in 2 weeks!!! Lots of love and hugs

Mr and Mrs Jones!!!

So many people commented how brilliant you were – professional yet fun! So thank you again. The pics so far look bloody fantastic. P.S. Thank you also for being my bitch. :-)

Michelle & Ross Evans

Amazing pictures. Thank you so much for capturing the day perfectly. It was an absolute pleasure to have you there and we all felt so relaxed with you being there capturing all the memories.

Hanna & Glenn Smith

WOW! We have just gone through the gallery! What amazing photos! We are so so happy. How on earth we are going to chose a selection for an album I do not know! We knew that you would come up top trumps James – amazing, very very happy Mr and Mrs Smith! xx

 

Helen & Stephen Hartshorn

James’ capability, creativity and professionalism as a photographer are plain to see from his photographs.  What isn’t so obvious is his rapport with people.  Whilst we didn’t know James prior to engaging his services, by the end of our wedding day we felt we had made a friend, and all our guests were enchanted with him.  He orchestrated all the more formal photos we wanted with great aplomb and diplomacy, keeping all our family & friends happy, whilst getting them to do exactly what was needed!  We also loved the informal pictures, which really captured the essence of our happy and unforgettable day.  I’d recommend to anyone to entrust taking your precious wedding day photos to James – he’s an absolute gem!

Louise & David Hale

We would like to take the time to thank you for the incredible hard work you put into our wedding, both before after and during. You were so much more than just a photographer, everything you did for us made our day run smoothly. The huge effort you made to get to know us all before the wedding made it feel like we had a close friend taking the photos, which made each picture so natural,  perfectly capturing some treasured moments. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you, you helped us above and beyond, organising, planning, advising, you are an endless  well of useful information. The photographs are truly amazing, you really took on board what was important to us at our wedding. We can not thank you enough. The wedding only lasted a day but the images you have given us preserve our memories so beautifully, we will treasure them for a lifetime.

Beth & Chris Carpenter

Just want to say a huge thank you to James for our wedding photographers, they are simply stunning.
James was absolutely fantastic before and during our big day. He is incredibly professional and yet at the same time so easy to get on with, he really puts you at ease on the big day (even helping to boys tie their crevats properly minutes before the ceremony!!)
We are so thrilled with our photographers – they are exactly what we wanted, capturing the natural moments of the day.
We would highly recommend James to anybody for their special day – he is just simply brilliant!
Beth and Chris Carpenter

 

Diane & Simon Furnell

Diane and I cannot thank you enough for our wedding photographs. Much more than this though your professional presence and calm assurance on the day contributed so much to the flawless running of the day, by the way everyone felt and reacted to you. It was like a friend coming along to take photographs and enjoy the fun along with everyone else. So much more than just a wedding photographer James.

 

Kelly & Richard Jones

Just want to say massive thank you for all your help on our wedding day with your help it all went off perfectly and the photos are absolutely gorgeous.
And so many to choose from and you made us feel so at ease on the day. And your help with the bridesmaids in the morning still makes me smile. Again thank you
Myself and Rich look forward to picking the photo’s for the album.

Victoria & Chris Price

I first became aware of James as a fantastic wedding photographer after he worked on a friends wedding, after seeing his amazing online portfolio, I knew we had to have him!
His professional but friendly manner reassured me that the biggest day of my life was in safe hands, and I was not disappointed.
He guided the day with effortless ease, resulting in a relaxed day for us and our guests.
James effortlessly captured all the big moments, without being intrusive  – even when I was bare faced and in my pyjamas, or sharing a sneaky kiss with my new husband!
The most important thing for me was that he listened to what we wanted and then guided us with his experience and knowledge to create wonderful images.
I would recommend James to anyone who wants beautiful memories.

Helen & Stephen

James – the photos are absolutely STUNNING & we can’t stop looking at them!   Thank you so, so, so, so much H&S xx

 

Kathryn & Scott Walker

When searching for a wedding photographer we both agreed that we wanted to achieve a collection of natural shots to document our special day, without all of the stuffiness of posed photos. And James delivered just that! We were both absolutely thrilled not only with the photographs but also with the service that James offered in the run-up to and during the day, he upheld a friendly professionalism that put us at ease and also offered us some very useful advice on other areas of wedding planning. Thank you James.

 

Katie & Michael Wallace

Hi James,

I was just looking at your portfolio and spotted our pictures. I love that picture of my dad. It was nearly an awful day but you helped so much to sort things out. We were really difficult customers and you handled it all with so much grace and professionalism. You really made the day come together for us and have given us such beautiful photos to remember it with. I wasn’t sure I’d said thank you properly so thought I’d try again. Thank you very much.

Katie Bowen (maybe it ought to be Wallace)

Guy & Helen Kemplay

James did a fantastic job on our wedding day. We were so pleased with the photos he produced, and particularly how he captured spontaneous moments from the day, as opposed to just the usual posed photos, which is what we were keen to have. James was also a tremendous help in terms of logistics, without ever interfering he was full of good advice and helped to make everything run smoothly

Helen & Rhodri Meredith

To James,

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on our wedding day. The photos are simply fantastic, better than we ever thought they could be. Some how in every photo of Rod and I, we look good. Our family, friends and parents think all the photos are beautiful. My dad, who is very hard to please, just loves them. We had ana amzing day, it went by to quick but seeing the photo’s brings back all the happy memories.

Thanks again James, lots of love, Mr & Mrs Meredith. x x

 

Michelle & Richard Bennett

Jay-C Imagery:  the ‘C’ stands for courteous, completely professional and, the most important, captures every moment.    James, the service you have provided has been second to none, you are like an encyclopedia of weddings and have helped us with all the little details that aren’t covered by the wedding magazines!  You were utmost supportive from the start and on the day you were able to capture our family and friends in the most beautiful moments.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

The Bennetts

 

Rachel & Chris Marshall

James, thank you so much for being such a fantastic wedding photographer.  Your skill and professionalism were second to none. You went above and beyond to make sure we had the pictures we wanted on our wedding day. They captured all the wonderful memories of the day that we will treasure forever.

You not only took fantastic photos, organized our wedding guests (like an  extra experienced usher) but also were on-call for  a sunny day so that we could have our much wanted beach shots after the wedding.

Thanks again

Rachel and Chris

 

Rikki & Chris Brace

First of all, we would like to say a massive thank you to James Cunningham for being such a fantastic photographer on our special day!  The dedication and commitment you gave us was outstanding, we could not have asked for better!

Secondly, our wedding day was made exceptionally wonderful as you provided us with your remarkable professionalism before and after our wedding, keeping us relaxed and calm throughout the build up to the wedding and on our wedding day. James became more than a photographer to us, he became a friend, a wedding organiser and most importantly a loyal, reliable and trustworthy guest in our wedding, as it was a pleasure to have James witness our marriage.

Again, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the most talented and gifted photographer we have ever met. Thank you James!

Amy & Ian Dennise

For us the photographs were the most important part of our day, thank you so much for the amazing job that you did.  We knew that first time we met you and saw your pictures that we had made the right choice, and on the day you certainly didn’t disappoint!

It was important to us that our photographs didn’t look forced or uncomfortable, but you kept everyone relaxed, and managed to capture parts of the day that we would have missed otherwise.  During the whole process you were so professional, always on hand to answer any  of our queries (of which I’m sure there were many!) and on the wedding day you kept everyone organised, were very discreet and worked so hard for us.  Even after the wedding was over your hard work didn’t stop and we had a lovely surprise on Honeymoon when we found out our photos had been put online so quickly!

There is no-one else we would have wanted as our photographer, and want to thank you once again for the perfect reminder of the best day of our lives.

Thank you, Amy and Ian Dennies

 

James and Emma Morgan

Emma and I would like to thank James for providing us with wedding photographs that went above and beyond our expectations. After researching and visiting many wedding photographers in South Wales we decided James had the best package and his enthusiasm and passion filled us with confidence right from the offset.

Even the mother in law who is a traditionalist, who was lobbying for an old experienced photographer was bowled over.

James has a natural talent and the photos that he produced were out of this world. There was everything from modern, traditional and abstract shots that really captured everything about our day!

Thanks James for providing us with stunning lasting memories that we will be able to keep with us forever. Although our wedding day is now firmly one of our best memories,  your photographs certainly bring it all back to life.

James, Thanks for everything before during and after our big day. We are so pleased we had you to capture the moment.

Thanks for everything, James and Emma Morgan

Hannah & Ryan Beeson

When planning our Wedding, Ryan and I both had a good idea of the sort of day we wanted it to be.  Relaxed, not too formal, enjoyable for everyone, and we didn’t want people stood around for hours posing for photos.  I had known Jamie for many years and really liked his style of photography therefore we decided we’d see if he was free to do our Wedding!  We were both really pleased when he accepted.  I had begun cutting out images from magazines etc in the style that I wanted our photo’s to reflect, they were very similar in style to that of Jamie’s work.  We met up to discuss our wishes and Jamie got a clear understanding of our expectations.

Our Wedding Day went perfectly, Jamie was extremely professional in his role and he made people feel relaxed.  Jamie had prepared his shot locations etc in advance and therefore the taking of the photo’s went really smoothly and without people having to hang around for long durations.  I especially love some of the shots he captured in the Church during the Wedding service, they are really natural and reflect the day beautifully!

The finished photo’s are exactly what we had imagined and we are both really pleased with them, family and friends have commented on their quality and how well they reflected and emotions and overall atmosphere of the day!

Thank you Jamie for your hard work and for giving us a wonderful album to remember our special day!

Hannah & Ryan Beeson

 

Laura Simpson

I am a singer, and I recently had some photo’s taken with JAY – C IMAGERY for my website and to use for my country album. Initially I was very nervous about having photo’s taken, but James put me at ease by chatting to me which helped a lot.

The shoot seemed effortless for him, and the end results were brilliant. He had some great idea’s for the shots, and I came out with a varied collection of top quality photo’s.

I chose James partly because he is a celebrity photographer and I knew the work would be top standard, but I didn’t know if I would be able to afford his rates. We had a chat, and he chose a photo package that suited my needs, and was affordable for me.

Thanks for doing such great work James.

Laura Simpson.

 

Nadine & Pete

Thank you so much firstly for keeping our very secret wedding to yourself, it’s very hard  to do in such a small town and we are so pleased thatabsolutely nothing leaked out and nobody knew a thing!

Thank you for making yourself available at such short notice, as we only booked our wedding with a couple of weeks to spare! Also, thank you for getting the photos to us so quickly!

Finally, thank you for taking a beautiful collection of photos, We have some really great wedding pictures that will be cherished forever.

Nadine & Pete

 

Emma & Ian Issac

I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you have done with our wedding photographs. We were both very clear in what we wanted when we started looking for our photographer and were both delighted when we met you and saw your work. Having a photographer who specialised in capturing the moment, rather than constructing every photograph was high on our list of priorities. After looking at your portfolio, it was obvious that you were brilliant at this and had an eye for knowing what would work, without the slightest effort.

We were also very sure, when planning the wedding that we did not want someone who would be demanding and intrusive, whilst we were trying to enjoy our day and it amazed me how at ease you made us both feel. My husband wasn’t sure about having a camera following him all day, but he didn’t even realise you were there and he didn’t once feel uncomfortable.

I need to say a special thank you for keeping us all together when my hair and make-up ran over, and we were over an hour late meeting you.

Just at the point when I was starting to panic, you made me feel completely at ease; the way in which you were able to adapt to the limited time scale meant we were able to capture everything that we had wanted to. It is a testament to your professionalism, and the passion that you have for the work you do.

We had no doubt before the big day that you would produce a first class album, but what we hadn’t expected was the way in which you were able to capture the mood in your photographs – we can see what a happy, fun, romantic and emotional day it was in every picture. You have left us with beautiful photographs, which will allow us to have a lasting memory of our day. I cannot thank you enough for being a part of our wedding, and for leaving us with a little bit of our day to relive over and over again.

Many thanks, Emma & Ian

 

David & Emma Watson

‘Hiya James, Me and Em want to say a massvive THANK YOU – we have enjoyed every minute of working with you. We can’t imagine anyone more professional and we are truly grateful for such personal service. You captured so many of those special moments perfectly, The photos are just amazing and such a fantastic record of the day – when we saw them, all the memories came flooding back. Everyone we have showed them to have been so impressed – can’t thank you enough. We were very glad and grateful that it was you and we cannot recommend you highly enough”.

Cheers mate !!!

 

Rhys & Amy Powell

When we booked James as our photographer for our July 2009 wedding, the thing that stood out from the start was James’ friendly accommodating approach.

We met numerous times to discuss our requirements and James never rushed us and answered all our questions. The pre-photo shoot was a nice touch and a big benefit before the big day, especially the large print we got from it which on the wedding day the guests signed for us. On the day itself all our guests commented how discreet James was when working and still managed to capture so many great shots and memories. The wedding album we received also exceeded our expectations and we didn’t have to wait long to receive it which can be a problem with many photographers.

Thanks again Rhys and Amy Powell.

 

Tom & Carolyn O’Leary

We were thrilled with the photos that James took, it added a real personal touch to our day whilst maintaining a thoroughly professional look.  I found James particularly helpful in the build up to the wedding – very organised and professional.  It was also handy to have someone to help with timings and when things should be done at a certain time – most helpful indeed when you are a headless chicken!

James provided us with an excellent service and I would recommend him to anyone thinking of having stunning wedding photos taken.

 

 

Jenny & Gwyn Llewellyn

Dear James,

Just a quick message to say thank’s for doing such an fantastic job with our wedding photo’s. We’re thrilled with the album and will have no hesitation in recommending you in the future.

Thank’s for all your help.

Jenny & Gwyn.

 

Elin & Carl Davis

Dear James

Carl and I wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing job that you did on our wedding day. From the first day that we met you ..we knew that we had mad the right decision. Having our pre wedding photo with our little boy was great fun and the photos were fantastic..mummy and daddy even got used to having their photo taken!
On the day of the wedding you managed to get all the pictures that we had asked for and made us feel so relaxed…we couldn’t be happier with the results.

You captured such an important day for us exactly the way we wanted it.

Thanks again James and we look forward to catching up in the future for more family pics :)

Elin, Carl and Olly (Davis) xx

 

Andy & Vikki

Not only a talented photographer, James is a pleasure to be around. Booking him was very simple and throughout the lead-up to our wedding he was clear and efficient, asking what we wanted and guiding us through what was needed to get it.

On the day, he was unfailingly polite and friendly to everyone he came across. He really just let us, and all our guests, get on with enjoying the day – it was crucial to us that we could actually enjoy the results of all the effort we’d put into planning it, and although James was always at our disposal, it was so nice to just let him get on with it!

Cheers

Andy & Vikki Hopkins
