Mine & Thine Photography
Colourful wedding photography for joyful Yorkshire folk. Specialising in barn and farm weddings across Yorkshire.
Further Info
Based in York covering all of Yorkshire and beyond. I love a rustic barn wedding, a DIY farm wedding, or any wedding that embraces the beauty of the Yorkshire landscape.
The best feedback I can get from my couples is that they didn’t know I was there. I like to capture your day honestly and beautifully, and for you to receive photos of loads of little moments that you didn’t even know happened on the day. When it comes to portraits, I keep these quick and easy and definitely won’t be posing you like mannequins. Instead, I’ll give you some direction but let you be you, even if that means awkward laughs (they’re always peoples’ favourites anyway!).
I have been a wedding photographer since 2010 and have captured nearly 500 weddings. I’m a very visual person, and love to tell a story through photos. I have a degree in Photography, a masters degree in Visual Arts and am soon to complete my PhD in History of Art. I bring all my expertise, knowledge and experience to your wedding day to tell the story of your day beautifully and emotionally, with a sprinkling of humour throughout.

"James photographed our wedding in June 2024 in North Yorkshire. We requested relaxed, candid shots and lots of photos of our guests and the venue - James delivered the brief perfectly.
We never felt pressured to perform for a camera, in fact we barely even noticed when he was taking such great shots of the ceremony and speeches. For our posed photographs, he made us feel very relaxed and unawkward, and the results were fantastic.
Our venue was a sprawling outdoor estate and James captured so many fun moments amongst our guests that we would missed otherwise.
James was very personable and friendly, and as a queer couple we align with his inclusive approach to his work.
All-in-all, would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a fun, friendly and skilled photographer."

"We were absolutely blown away by Mine and Thine’s photographs of our wedding! We wanted a vibrant, fun, real snapshot of our day and our loved ones, and that is exactly what we got! So many people have complimented our wedding photos, and said they really transported them back to all the happy, celebratory feelings of the day.
I was very nervous about booking a wedding photographer, but James was professional, friendly, and reassuring throughout the process, and my husband and I, as well as our guests, felt totally at ease on the wedding day. We opted to have an engagement photoshoot with James to help get rid of some of the nerves, and it was such a good decision. It allowed us to get straight back into being photographed on the wedding day, and meant that we knew what to expect from James and he knew what to expect from us (lots of awkward giggling and not knowing what to do with our hands!).
We couldn’t believe how many photos we got, as we barely noticed James or the second photographer, but they captured so many special memories without intruding at all! And the photos arrived much faster than expected - while we were still on our honeymoon in fact!
If you’re in any doubt about booking Mine and Thine, don’t be! We can’t recommend them highly enough!"

"STOP LOOKING & BOOK JAMES NOW.
We cannot recommend James enough as your wedding photographer. James was absolutely superb from start to finish on our wedding day.
My husband and I are not people that like to have our photo taken and were really nervous about the idea of having lots of photos taken! We also really didn't want to spend the whole day having photos and be away from our guests. James made sure this absolutely did not happen, James made us feel SO comfortable, for a long time before the wedding we wondered whether we needed to have an Engagement shoot to 'practice' having our photo taken. We didn't need too, James made us feel relaxed, comfortable and not awkward at all whilst he took our wedding photos. We didn't want endless group shots with everyone looking stiff and uncomfortable - James made sure this didn't happen, James made sure group shots were fun, relaxed and most importantly - quick and not painful!
James took us for lots of little shoots, it meant that at no point we felt that we were missing out spending time with our family and friends. James got involved in the day and the guests absolutely loved him. Everyone that has since seen our wedding photos has commented on how fun and happy they are. My husband and I rarely like photos of ourselves, but we can hand on heart say that there is not one wedding photo we don't absolutely love. James captured the love, warmth and joy of our wedding day and we cannot thank him enough, they will be photos we treasure for the rest of our lives. We still at least weekly, sit and look through our photos! Book wonderful James, you wont regret it :) xx"
