James Lee, An Amazing Photographer!

Recently we asked a few of our favorite vendors a couple of questions about themselves to feature on our new blog. Over the next few months we will be featuring one a week. This week we are starting with James Lee. We work along with James frequently throughout the wedding season and always love snooping his website after a wedding that we were at to see just how amazing his photography really is. I certainly hope that you snoop around his site as well. www.jamesleephoto.com

1. Why do you love being a photographer?

I love being a photographer because I'm passionate about people, I love connecting with people especially on their wedding day; I really consider it to be the highest honour to be selected to be part of a couples' wedding day. I love being able to capture a small glimpse of the emotion between a couple that I think really resonates everything about their connection.



2. How did you get into this business?

I'm not really sure, to be honest I started shooting in the late 80's when I was finishing up high-school. Like many other photographers my professional photography career started as an interest, that turned into an avid hobby. Early on I realized that I loved the interaction I would have shooting portraits so being a people photographer was definitely for me, eventually this led me to specializing in Weddings.



3. What is your favorite wedding that you have ever captured?


I have built so many friendships with couples over the years it's hard to pick a favourite, however in 2009 I must say I was most moved by the speeches at Gillian & Dan's wedding. I was so impressed by how much love the couples' families had for each other and how much Gillian's Brothers loved her and how they showed their support for her on her wedding day.



4. Where do you see your company going in the next five years?

I don't see much change in my company over the next five years, I really just want to continue to grow as an artist, and have good fortune to build more relationships in the wedding industry. I really hope to grow my business to cater to couples who care deeply about their wedding imagery.




5. Why do we love you? What makes you special?

Ha ha, I'm not sure what makes me special, although, based on what I've learned over the past 10 years, I approach each wedding the same way and that's to show up like an old friend with a fancy camera. My business is my clients, and I feel like I'm performing at every wedding I photograph, and my commitment is to give my clients my heart and soul for their day.



Thanks so much James!

Were looking forward working with you this 2010!

Dan and Laura
