Welcome to James Bignell Photography

Beautiful photography for families, Brides and business

I have won the Kodak award for portraiture 4 times and the Fuji Award for portraiture 4 times. I have also featured in Vogue and many top fashion magazines. Part of my ethos is to look after you all the way from booking the shoot, right through to editing, retouching and the finished product. I offer a 5 star high quality experience.
If you are looking for a photographer and you see I am based in Kent please don’t be concerned I work all over the UK and abroad. I spend my winters working in Dubai so if you are based abroad please let me know and we can work out a budget. Weekends get booked up in advance so book as soon as you can find a suitable date. If you are looking for the very best service and quality of images you have come to the right place.

“We have used James on three separate occasions and have never been disappointed. His photographs are creative and the images crisp and sharp. James is very innovative with his shot choices and style. James also has the patience of a saint, he needed it when photographing our three young children. I would highly recommend James for all of your photography needs.”

“James has been our family photographer for over a decade. He has a knack with children (and adults!), putting us immediately at ease and creating a composition that captures the essence. As a result the photos he takes are second to none.”

“James Bignell is a wonderful photographer. His wealth of experience and friendly nature means that both adults and children alike feel at ease in front of the camera. This makes for great photos and enables him to capture the very essence of someone’s personality. Just have a look at his website, the pictures speak for themselves.”
