About
Hello, I’m James. I am a Wedding Photographer and Videographer and new father to a baby boy! I grew up in the wedding business with my family running the Jean Acres Weddings and Event Barn, in Ellsworth Wisconsin. I love being able to capture memories and sharing them for years to come. My wife and I act as a team to bring you the best quality you deserve.
I have the skills, knowledge, and equipment to be at-the-ready for your special day. I execute photography, videography, and in some cases, both! But I’m not limited to weddings by any means.
Ask about weddings, engagement shoots, family portraits, animal portraits, videography, and a beautiful Barn Venue! Of course if you are interested in multiple services we can give you a package deal. My wife also works in graphic design and loves to create beautiful edits for couples as well.
Do you need a photo or video job in the Twin Cities or Wisconsin area?
I’m your guy!

James has photographed for us on two occassions and both times he surpassed our expectations. He is punctual and generous with this time and he takes such creative, artist photos. He is so easy to work with. When he sends you the photos it’s a Wow factor. Not just your classic posed photographs. I will you use over and over agin

James captured spontaneous moments for our wedding as well as posed photos. He was early and took beautiful pictures of the landscape (outside wedding). He got photos of us arriving, setting up, socializing, and the ceremony. He was kind and helpful to our guests. He was great editing the images to meet our needs. He also delivered the photos very quickly. His website is easy to navigate and even has option to purchase prints. I am impressed with his work and would work with him again.

We had Photos by James for our fundraising event. He was excellent. It was such a special night and he captured all our special memories. When my daughter decides to get married, we already know who our photographers going to be!

James was personable, flexible, helpful and unobtrusive yet accessible for ourselves and our guests. He had good ideas for interesting shots, as well, shots that found the personal, sweet and fun moments in the interactions around us.. We also loved the photos. Highly recommend.
