Kia ora, I’m James Price, a wedding photographer with a deep love for storytelling through images. Photography has always been more than a career for me; it’s my art form, my craft, and the way I make sense of the world.
Married to my amazing wife Wilma, we have roots planted, and family, in both New Zealand and the Philippines.
I’ve formally studied photography to strengthen my technical skills and refine my creative vision, but it’s the lived experience behind the camera that shaped my style. My background in fashion and beauty photography taught me how to work with light, detail, and elegance, while also giving me an eye for the artistry of portraiture. That foundation flows into my wedding work, where I balance striking, dramatic compositions with tender, natural moments.
For me, weddings are about more than creating beautiful pictures. They’re about capturing the soul of the day, n the anticipation, the raw emotion, the fleeting glances, and the joyful chaos that can’t be staged. I believe in photographing people as they truly are, with honesty and heart, while weaving in a timeless sense of artistry.
I use primarily Nikon professional full-frame digital slr's, but have one older full frame Canon digital slr I just couldn't be without. My preference is using prime lenses over zooms, as I prefer to be focused on a moment, not on a location. The further I am away, the less likely I will feel the emotion, the less likely I will understand the meaning of a moment.
After exploring other creative ventures, I’m excited to return to weddings from the 2025/26 season with a renewed passion for the work I love most. Every couple has a unique story, and I feel privileged each time I’m invited to document it. My promise is simple: to honour your day with images that feel alive, emotive, and true to you.
