Your Visual Historian

I'm
 King James

Hey,

My journey into photography began in 2016 while I was in college. I made my first big investment in a camera and committed to learning everything I could, mastering manual settings and capturing graduation portraits for friends and family. It didn’t take long before I realized how much I loved documenting meaningful moments and stages of life. The joy and gratitude people shared when they received their photos moved me deeply, and I knew this was something truly special.

Part of what drives me today is a personal story. Growing up, I lost all the photographs from my childhood when my family home caught fire. There is not a single image of me as a child, and that loss fuels my passion for capturing memories that last a lifetime. I do not just take pictures. I see myself as a visual historian, preserving the present so it can be cherished tomorrow.

Now, I am a husband to my best friend of twelve years and a proud father to two amazing boys. As both a photographer and a dad, I make it a priority to photograph my own family three times a year. I want my sons to grow up surrounded by tangible memories, moments frozen in time, beautifully framed, and full of love.

When you choose to work with me, you are not just hiring someone to take photos. You are gaining a team that is committed to giving you a seamless and elevated experience from inquiry to image delivery. We accept a limited number of weddings each year so every couple feels fully supported and celebrated.

When I walk into my home and see my own family’s portraits on the walls, I feel grounded and grateful. I would be honored to create that same feeling for you. If you are dreaming of timeless, emotional, and truly meaningful wedding photos, I would love to hear your story and help you preserve it forever.
