Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I'm a photojournalist and videographer (including aerial drone photo/video) with a knack for capturing amazing candid moments. I also have a broad digital toolbox including drone, 360 camera and more. I can create branded videos for non-profits, film corporate events, photograph your fun, original, beautiful wedding, take portraits and shoot sports to give your athlete an awesome memento. And everything in between. I'm creative, flexible and low-stress / high fun. I believe that real moments are greater than poses and I am ready to make magic together. I love solving visual puzzles to create something awesome. I work with a client to articulate their needs, then choose from a wide range of tools that I have available (aerial? time lapse? lighting? run-and-gun?) to create just the right thing. I work best with people who like journalistic, candid, compelling real storytelling. I believe that's the most evocative way to capture a moment or tell a business's story and it's what I do best.

James photographed our wedding, and we could not be happier. A true photojournalist, James knows when to engage his subject and when to melt into the background, always getting the perfect angle and focal length. We wanted a mixture of candids and sweeping landscapes instead of a bunch of posed shots, not that James isn't great at those, too! I've also hired James to photograph an nonprofit event, and of course he knocked that out of the park. He engaged attendees to help bring out some smiling faces.
