Being recognised for your work never really gets old — especially when it’s something you’ve poured your heart, time, and creativity into. I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve been selected for another year as one of the three best photographers in the Caerphilly area. It’s an honour I don’t take lightly, and one that feels particularly meaningful because it’s rooted in the trust and support of the local community.


Photography, for me, has always been about more than just taking pictures. It’s about storytelling, connection, and preserving moments that might otherwise pass by unnoticed. Whether it’s capturing a fleeting smile, a milestone event, or the quiet beauty in an everyday scene, my goal has always been to create images that feel genuine and timeless. To have that approach recognised again is both humbling and motivating.


Being named among the top three photographers in Caerphilly for another year is not something I achieved alone. This recognition reflects the incredible clients who have chosen me to document their lives, businesses, and special occasions. Every booking, recommendation, review, and message of encouragement plays a part in making moments like this possible. I’m endlessly grateful to those who have trusted me with their memories — it’s a responsibility I take very seriously.


Working as a photographer in Caerphilly is a privilege in itself. The area is full of character, beautiful locations, and a strong sense of community. From family sessions and portraits to events and creative projects, no two shoots are ever the same. Each client brings their own story, energy, and vision, and that variety is what keeps my work exciting and constantly evolving. I believe that the best photography comes from collaboration, where clients feel comfortable, heard, and confident in front of the camera.


Over the years, I’ve continued to refine my style and approach, always striving to improve and stay inspired. Photography is an ever-changing craft, and learning never really stops. Whether it’s experimenting with new techniques, investing in equipment, or finding fresh ways to tell stories through imagery, I’m committed to growth. Being recognised again reassures me that this dedication is making a difference — and encourages me to keep raising the bar.


What means the most about this recognition is that it’s not just about technical skill, but about experience. I aim to make every shoot relaxed, enjoyable, and tailored to the individual. Many people tell me they feel nervous about having their photo taken, and helping them feel at ease is just as important as the final images themselves. Knowing that clients walk away not only loving their photos but also enjoying the process is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.


I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported my work behind the scenes. From friends and family who encourage me, to fellow creatives and local businesses who collaborate and share advice — your support does not go unnoticed. Being part of a creative community that lifts each other is something I truly value.


Looking ahead, I’m excited about what the next year will bring. This recognition motivates me to continue pushing creatively, meeting new clients, and capturing meaningful moments across Caerphilly and beyond. If you’ve worked with me before, thank you for being part of my journey. If you’re considering booking a session, I’d love to hear from you and help bring your ideas to life.


Once again, thank you to everyone who has made it possible for me to be selected as one of the three best photographers in the Caerphilly area for another year. Your trust, support, and belief in my work mean more than I can put into words — and I can’t wait to see what we create together next.

Just 10 of the many reviews from my photography services during 2025:

 

·       Well, I don’t know where to start, Jim. What a guy. He made me feel at ease from planning until the big day. Nothing was too much trouble for this guy. To say he was funny and witty was an understatement. He made us all feel really easy about the day I will be booking you for any family events we may have in the future, Jim, you legend …. Diolch 🩵

 

·       Jim made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole shoot, and the photos turned out amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. We would highly recommend Jim to anyone

 

·      Amazing photos for my son’s birthday. Jim just gets going with his camera, and you don't even notice he’s taking the photos. Thank you again, and I would highly recommend Jim

 

·       We first booked Jim for our daughter's Baptism three years ago, and he did such a fantastic job, we knew when we were organising my 40th birthday party for this last weekend, he was the only one we wanted to be our photographer. The photos, as we knew they would be, are absolutely out of this world, and I couldn’t be more thrilled ❤️. To top it off, he is one of the nicest gents you could meet; he puts everyone at ease, and it's a joy to have him at your event. Would 100% recommend him to anyone!! Thanks again, Jim!!!

 

·       Eyes2Me photography has been an absolute pleasure to use for our themed wedding. James is very friendly and helped organise the groups well. The photos are of amazing quality, even in the darkened settings we provided. So many wonderful memories captured, which we didn’t remember until receiving the photos afterwards. Highly recommended for all events. Thank you again, James (Eyes2Me Photography)

 

·       Thank you so much, Jim, for being part of our special day & for capturing the most precious of memories for us to look back on in years to come. The photos are amazing - so many to look through and choose from! You went the extra mile for us ❤️

 

·      Jim made me feel at ease the second I booked him. He talked everything through with me before my wedding, and everything on the day ran smoothly. Jim took photos of everything I wanted and more! The gallery, slideshow and black & white photos are absolutely amazing! All my family loved every single photo he took. Jim was very friendly and professional throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him and would definitely use him again in the future.

 

·      Jim did an amazing job photographing our wedding. Exactly what we were after - some formal shots, but the majority were candid shots captured as they happened. His style of photography made for a very relaxed atmosphere. We were able to see examples of his previous work and had a really helpful meeting to go through all the details for our wedding. The documentation and communication were really clear, so we knew exactly what was included in the package. Jim was very speedy at putting our gallery together after the wedding. Looking at all the photos allowed us to relive our special day. I would 100% recommend Jim to others.

 

·      Jim was professional, friendly & thorough! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Photos sent quickly and of amazing quality! Captured the special moments!! Would definitely recommend and would use again! Thank you!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

 

·      We had the best experience and the most gorgeous pictures with Jim; we had a mix of candid and posed pictures, which was exactly what we were after. The guests have loved receiving the pictures this evening. Jim was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable with a sense of humour during our photos. Couldn’t have asked for better! ⭐
