so nice to meet you.
We’re James & Alyson — partners, best friends, and the hearts behind J + A photo.
We’ve always believed that the most meaningful moments are often the quiet ones. The way your hands find each other without thinking. The deep breath before walking down the aisle. The laughter that spills out when the nerves finally fade. These are the moments we’re drawn to — the ones that feel honest and deeply human.
We fell in love with wedding photography not because of the beauty of the day (though there’s plenty of that), but because of the meaning behind it. A wedding day holds so much emotion — anticipation, tenderness, joy, and love that feels bigger than words. Our role is to gently hold space for all of it.
When we photograph a wedding, we do so with care and intention. We’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the moment is already perfect on its own. Our presence is calm and grounding — never intrusive, never rushed. We want you to feel comfortable enough to forget about the camera and fully live your day.
As a husband-and-wife team, we understand how fleeting these seasons are. We know how quickly moments pass, how love grows and changes, and how important it is to have photographs that bring you back — not just to how the day looked, but to how it felt. Our images are warm, timeless, and unscripted, created to feel like memories rather than poses.
Being invited into such an intimate day is something we never take lightly. When you trust us with your wedding, you’re trusting us with something irreplaceable. We carry that responsibility with so much care — from the first email to the final gallery.
Our hope is that when you look back on your photos years from now, you don’t just see a beautiful day. You feel it all again — the love, the joy, the tenderness — just as it was.
That care carries through every part of the experience.
what matters to us most.
Presence over perfection.
We care far more about how your day feels than how it’s supposed to look. The real moments — the nervous laughs, the soft pauses, the way your people show up for you — those are what matter most
Connection above all else.
Between the two of you, with your loved ones, and with us. When there’s trust and comfort, everything unfolds naturally, and your photos become honest reflections of who you are.
Care in every step.
From our first conversation to the moment you receive your gallery, we want you to feel supported, understood, and truly cared for. Being trusted with your memories is something we never take lightly.
a little more about us
OVER 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
James has been a photographer for over 10 years - originally specializing in portrait and fashion, and Alyson stepped into the photographer role about 6 years ago. We have photographed over 100 weddings both together and apart. When you book with us, the experience matters - we have been in every wedding situation, falling apart timelines, accidents, you name it - and have always come out successful on the other side!
WE ARE HUGE ON FAMILY + FAMILY VALUES.
We have two daughters of our own + 1 fur baby, our german shepherd Sable. We love spending intentional time with our close and extended family and don’t think there is anything more fleeting than the childhood of our girls. This is why we get a little emotional during any wedding day family time (first looks with dad… we’re looking at you.)
WHEN WE’RE NOT WITH CLIENTS, YOU CAN FIND US AT THE NEAREST CONCERT.
Truly, concerts are our love language. As busy parents and entrepreneurs, we don’t have a lot of “spare time” (whatever that means). Instead of a classic date, we love to go to concerts together + love bonding with clients over tastes in music!
