When is was about 15 years old I borrowed my dads old Fujica SLR to take photos of my friends skateboarding. Next I enrolled into every...otography class my high school offered and spent a lot of time shooting skating and concerts. After graduation, while I knew I wanted to be a photographer, it took me a year working at a photo lab to realize that camera sales and printing color photos of birthday parties was not the same as photography.
I entered the Art Institute of Colorado, where I recieved 2 years of education. I assisted an architectural photographer for the summer and I learned a lot about light. Next, a two month long road trip with my friend and fellow photographer Shane Macomber from Denver to Tijuana to Vancouver photographing everything I could lay my eyes on. Two more years of photography school allowed me to receive a bachelors degree, followed by four years as a staff photographer at the Vail Daily and one year as Photo Editor.
I left the newspaper biz at the end September 2008 and decided to spend three months traveling Europe while living in Mezzegra Como, Italy. I now find myself back in Colorado bouncing between Denver and Vail, working as a freelance photographer and excited about my future. For me, photography is more than a job or a career it is a lifestyle.Read More
After working as a staff photographer for news papers such as The Denver Post for more than 20-years, I started my own wedding photography...siness in 1997, specializing in wedding photojournalism. Having a BA in journalism and two feature Pulitzer entries to my credits prepared me for my career of documenting weddings. My first taste of wedding photojournalism came to me while I was traveling in Japan where I was allowed to photograph parts of a traditional wedding. At the time I was working for the Denver Post. Within a year I left the paper to start my own wedding photography business.
Since then I've managed to photograph completely traditional weddings in both Italy and China. Someday I hope to publish a book on wedding cultures of the world. These experiences have helped me grow as a photojournalist so that I don't depend on spoken language as much as body language and respect while I am working. Even here in Denver I get many different types of wedding cultures and traditions such as Buddhist ceremonies. Last year I was hired to photograph one couples western wedding here in Denver and a Vietnamese Buddhist wedding in New Orleans the following week.
I've always loved telling stories with my pictures. Now I get to cover about 20 weddings a year and tell the stories in web based slideshows and in custom made books.Read More

Since graduating from East Texas State University with a master's degree in photojournalism, James has operated his own professional...otography business first in east Texas and now in the four corners area of southwest Colorado near Durango. His assignments have ranged from advertising to nature and wildlife to magazine editorialism to photojournalism and fine art. James' personal photographic art has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries including the Dallas Museum of Fine Art and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. This invaluable experience gathered from over two decades as a professional photographer is brought to every wedding that James photographs.
In 2004 two things convinced James that the time was right for him to focus his talents on wedding photography. Firstly, digital photography had come of age. The quality of the digital image captured by today's professional cameras rivals the images made from film. And no longer would the cost of film and processing limit the number of photos that a photographer could shoot at an assignment. Furthermore the ability to transmit images via the internet and order online is an undeniable convenience to the client.
Secondly, wedding photojournalism had become the style that savvy and sophisticated brides and grooms wanted in their albums. To James the wedding photos should tell the story of the wedding events not be a compilation of posed photographs. Weddings are overflowing with emotions. James believes that it is the photographer's responsibility to capture those emotions with the camera.Read More

Thanks to everyone at WPJA for all of your hard work! I get a ton of bookings from my listings with you and know many of my colleagues do as well. Now if I could only get my gangsta necklace ...
I just wanted to thank you for starting and maintaining the
WPJA. I love it. I am not surprised it is a highly criticized
organization. That is because it is an exceptional organization that
is dramatically changing the industry. I can say for myself, I
probably would not still be shooting weddings if it were not for the
WPJA. Being a part of a group that values truth, ethics, and
authentic imagery as strongly as I do is very important. When I say I
am a member of the WPJA, that is the best tool I have to establish
that I am a professional, with an ability to tell the AUTHENTIC story
of their wedding.
I was just talking with a friend of mine about authenticity, in regard
to the rise in popularity of Hip Hop. Russell Simmons, hip hop mogul
and multi-millionaire, said: "What the corporations dont understand is
that the only formula for success in the [music] industry is
authenticity." People know and respond to authenticity when they see
it --whether that is in music, film, television, or photography. That
is why the WPJA is so threatening to purveyors of inauthentic
products. They know it is a serious threat to the survival of their
business, and the wedding industry is, unfortunately, chock full of
inauthentic vendors. I hope this whole WPJA phenomena turns the
industry on its head and completely changes the reputation wedding
photography. And that is EXACTLY what the industry fears.
Keep up the good fight. You are onto something big.
