James Wills Photography

James Wills Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Godalming, Surrey, with a genuine passion for capturing the authentic mood of your day. From the nervous excitement of morning preparations to the laughter of the evening reception, James works unobtrusively to document real moments — the smiles, the glances, the tiny details — producing imagery that feels honest, emotive and timeless. Why choose James? His love of storytelling began with his grandad’s film camera and has developed into a calm, documentary-led style that puts couples at ease. James believes that the best wedding photos are the ones you almost forget are being taken: candid, atmospheric frames that together create a true visual memoir of the day. He’s comfortable guiding couples for a few purposeful portraits, but his strength is finding the natural emotion in every moment. James’s approach is relaxed and warm. He spends time getting to know you before the wedding so the camera never feels intrusive on the day — just a friendly presence capturing your celebration. He’ll recommend locations for golden-hour portraits, suggest simple ideas to settle nerves, and work alongside your schedule to ensure the narrative of the day is told beautifully. Deliverables are crafted with care: a professionally colour‑graded gallery with a considered mix of colour and black & white edits that highlight the emotion and atmosphere of your wedding. As a thoughtful extra, James also offers short memoir video highlights and aerial drone perspectives when appropriate — presented back alongside your images to help relive the day in motion as well as stills. Rooted in Godalming but happy to travel, James combines youthful enthusiasm with a camera‑nerd’s attention to technical detail. His aim is simple: to create professional wedding photos that feel personal, authentic and timeless — precious moments treasured through imagery you’ll come back to for years. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who values atmosphere, story and a relaxed client experience, James Wills is ready to help bring your day to life.
