"Searching for a wedding photographer in Zurich was daunting as we scrolled from one site to the next. Coming across Jim's portfolio was a breath of fresh air! We love his candid, documentary style and when we sat down with him before the big day, we knew he would be a seamless addition to our group and we were right!"

April & Thomas

“It was just perfect. Jim hit our taste exactly and we are so happy with the result. The photos are just fantastic and really exceeded our expectations! The communication before, during and after our wedding was also great and very professional. What we also really liked about Jim was that he is totally easy going and flexible. He is such a great person!

Real moments, real emotion

caught on camera.

No intrusive camera interruptions, no fake poses or awkward smiles. Just an amazing, love-filled day with your favourite people having lots of fun.

My documentary style is a great fit for couples who are not into the whole posing for photos kind of thing, and instead, just want to have a great time on their wedding day, without worrying about the photography - or the photographer!

Being authentic as a person and in my work is super important to me.

I'm grateful to the amazing couples who choose to embrace this and my vision on their wedding day!

And that's me (the one smiling!) With a persuasive wedding guest behind the lens wanting a shot of me for the bride and groom!

A few fun facts about me and my story!

I'm from Manchester, a city abundant in creativity, music, football and rain! Although Zürich (which is my partners home town!) is very different from that, the Limmatstadt won me over from the first summer I’ve spent here; chilling by the lake and river... enjoying the special vibe in a multicultural, urban and creative atmosphere surrounded by incredible nature. I feel very lucky to call this vibrant town home now and it feels especially familiar when I realise how many faces I recognise after all the weddings I’ve been honoured to shoot here.

My photographic journey began when I first explored the magic of film and dark rooms during art college. This naturally led on to further studies in graphic design and photography at Leeds university, and since then I've been lucky enough to travel, take lots (and lots!) of photos and work full-time as a wedding photographer Zurich Switzerland. Now, many seasons into my career and I can honestly say it's been the best decision I've made! I thoroughly enjoy working with my amazing clients and I feel extremely lucky to be documenting their wonderful wedding stories, year after year.


I love getting to the coast whenever and wherever possible to go surfing. This is my favourite way to spend a long winter escape and during shorter city trips, you’ll find me out and about with my camera shooting some street photography, enjoying different cultures and of course, food!
