I’m James Hacker with over 15 years of experience in editorial and commercial photography. This means your wedding photographs will have a dramatic, sharp and innovative style.
Through regular commissions I am constantly producing fashion led images for musicians like Roni Size or award winning pictures for clients like Toni and Guy.
You can view more commercial work at www.hackerphotography.co.uk
My fresh and contemporary style developed through these commissions influences the wedding images I produce.
M GOING TO OMEONE.� WHEN Since completing a BA Hons in Photography in 1996, I worked my way up the photography business and soon became a successful freelance photographer. As a Professional Photographer I bring this valuble knowledge and experience to your wedding day.
WHERE Based in Bristol but currently working all around the UK and the world. Photo-shoots have taken me to the USA, Iceland, Greenland, India, Tunisia and Morroco. If you are interested in me shooting your wedding, at a far flung location all you need to do is cover my travel costs and accommodation.
“IT’S MORE IMP CLICK WITH PE CLICK THE SHU
PORTANT TO EOPLE THAN TO UTTER.”
WHAT’S TH LOW YOU’RE You’re unique - don’t forget that. I tend to attract clients that aren’t afraid to put their own stamp on their big day. You’re planning a wedding and want an individual approach to capture those special moments.
LIKE You like my work, the way the images are processed & overall style. You want a photographer that will get on well with you and your guests, making you feel relaxed.
HE DOWN W? IMPORTANT
DON’T
I supply all the best images to you - in high resolution, colour graded and enhanced.
You don’t want someone bossing you around all day. I shoot a lot of repotage images.
Timing is key - being in the right place at the right time is my job.
Capturing moments you probably will be too busy to notice.
“ALL I REALLY W DO WAS WILDL PHOTOGRAPHY
WANTED TO LIFE Y.”
“AND NOW FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP.” My unique take on the photo booth brings it kicking and screaming into 2016 by introducing the ring flash. It’s an amazing way to capture quirky images of everyone. The use of props from party poppers to silly string or anything else you want to throw at it means you’ll see more action than in Helmand Province. The ring flash was first invented back in the ‘50s for use in dental photography. Now, I’ve recognised the potential of the beautifully even lighting the ring flash gives to create fantastic wedding photos where everyone looks amazing. How does it work during the wedding? Simple. I set up the ring flash usually after you’ve all eaten and then with the help of the ushers get everyone to stop by and strike a pose. The result is an hilarious set of pictures that look as glamorous as a Vogue photo shoot but will have Grandma laughing until her teeth fall out. Heck, you could even use one of the shots as a Thank You card. Some examples of photos taken with the ring flash are on this and the next page.
“IF I COULD TEL IN WORDS I WO TO LUG AROUND
LL THE STORY OULDN’T NEED D A CAMERA.”
“PHOTOGRAPH IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE CAPTU
HY Y URED.”
“I AIM TO GET A ONE SHOT THA EVERY WEDDIN
AT LEAST AT IS GOOD AT NG.”
“I SAID YES” “I Said Yes” - the pre-wedding photoshoot, is an opportunity for you to get to know me and settle any nerves by getting used to having yourselves photographed. If you have already created a bond with your photographer it will make you more relaxed when it comes to the photos on the big day so you get the very best shots. To help make these images special, choose a location that has some significance to you both to create some bespoke art that will prove you look awsome on camera. Or use props and lighting to enhance these images. Hacker will work with you to make this a fun and exciting experience. It can also be arranged for a professional make up artist to come along who can make you look stunning, not only in a mirror but also show the true potential of your wedding photographs. The edited images are yours to treasure and couples often use and integrate them into the wedding day itself. They could be used for “save the date”, table plans or thank you cards.
“I WOULD LIKE A BETTER PHOT I’M WORKING O
E TO BECOME OTOGRAPHER. ON THAT.”
“DUST OFF THE DRESS There’s a lot to fit into a wedding day. Couples are often torn between spending time with their family and friends - making sure not to miss a minute of the party, and wanting creative photos taken of them in all their finery on the big day. But there’s a simple solution to this problem: “Dust Off The Dress” - a post-wedding shoot. Once you’ve got over your hangover and the last of the long lost relatives have trundled home, get back into your party clothes and the both of you can re-live the day (or part of it) all over again. Or ‘Dust Off Your Dress” to celebrate an anniversary (as long the dress still fits and there’s no baby bumps to get in the way!) The shoot can take place at the wedding location - or somewhere totally different, it’s up to you.

“ALMOST NOBO SOBER, UNLES HAPPEN TO BE
ODY DANCES SS THEY E INSANE.”
“ALL PHOTOGRAPHY IS PROPAGANDA.” I use Folio Albums because of the exceptional quality – and they’re 100% British made. The wedding photo albums are made using fine art, archival quality papers and inks so your albums will last a lifetime and beyond. There’s extra protection for your book as it comes in a presentation box and an unbleached cotton bag, great for keeping the dust off. But it won’t be in there for long as you will want to keep showing everyone. Photograph albums with a canvas cover can be customised to suit every style from luscious silks to classic leathers. Depending on the package you choose, I can produce a 10” or 12” square fine art wedding photo album just for you or also create smaller 6” square replica albums to give to the parents. It’s a great way to relive every single minute of your wedding all over again – but maybe not the hangover the next day.
WHAT’S THE DAMAGE? Choosing your wedding photographer isn’t like ordering a Chinese so I don’t offer a ‘set menu’. It’s up to you and your budget to pick the amount of hours, any bolt-ons and what final products you’d like.
