James Hardie Photography

Where do I start?

James and Kellie where outstanding from start to finish. I literally cannot fault a single thing.

From the moment they arrived at the bridal suite they made everyone they came into contact with feel very comfortable, it was hard to tell they where even there.

They new exactly which photos to take without having to take any instruction from us.

They were very easy to be around and added a lot to the day. The package was good value for money and the finished photos are outstanding. We couldn't be happier!

I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

We got married in the Vidamar on June 5th. As I sit down to write this review I realise that honestly there are no words to thank Kellie and James Hardie for everything they did for myself and Ronan, I can only hope that this review reflects how unbelievably grateful we are to have met them and to have had them involved in the planning and of course photography of our day.
I first contacted James in June 2017 while researching photographers in the Algarve. I had already booked our venue and wedding planner at this point and was on to my next task of finding a photographer. When I came across James's facebook page and seen all of their previous work I knew that these guys would be the ones for us, their photographs just blew me away. I contacted James and was so excited when he confirmed that they were still available for our date so I went ahead and provisionally booked them. In the background I contacted my wedding planner to tell her that I had found a photographer available who I absolutely loved and that I had booked them for our date, only to be told that she would not work with this photographer under any circumstances, leaving me to choose between her and the photographer. Lesson to be learned for all future brides.. ask planners before booking them if they have any restrictions around what suppliers they work with!!
In the end I just couldn't continue having this planner organise what should be the most enjoyable day of my life when she knew that I felt so unhappy but just did not seem to care at all. Kellie & James kindly offered to step in, not only to be our photographers but to help plan the entire day and to say that this was the best decision we ever made is such an understatement. These guys truly have the bride and groom's interest at heart and their only focus was ensuring that we felt happy and that we had the day that we wanted.
Kellie took over the planning from this point and organised the entire day, her daughter Megan also helped and even decorated our venue for us on the morning of the wedding. Kellie was so organised and helpful throughout the year.. I honestly don't know where she gets the time to sleep!!
As for the photography, well they had a team of people with them on the day. Everyone commented on how professional they all were. They made us feel so at ease and we had a great laugh with them. We received our extended video clip with the drone and it is just unreal, something we will cherish forever and brings tears to my eyes. Our photographs are equally stunning.
Thanks again Kellie, James & Team, we will never forget the effort you put in to make our big day so special and so enjoyable XxX

Used James & Kellie for our wedding in Albufeira, amazing from start to finish and so much fun to be around, felt more like friends then my photographers and the end results were breath taking, thank you guys xxx

I fell in love with James Hardie photography from the first video I saw online and we were not disappointed from that point on. From our first meeting to our final moment the service was of the highest standard. On your wedding day you want everything to be perfect and it was. The stream home to my grandmother who was unable to travel was a bonus. Our pictures were amazing and the video even more so. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

Would recommend in every way. Perfect photos and video captured from a perfect day.

Would highly recommend, what a lovely couple. James & Kellie were fantastic, they really put us a ease. They listened to what we wanted and delivered. Very happy we chose them to capture our big day.

I fell in love with James and Kellie's work from my first photographer google search. Before we had a venue locked in, we knew we wanted these guys. They were my rock, even down to 12 month before the wedding and changing our venue and date!!! The support before, during and after has been out of this world. Our wedding would not have been complete without JHP and their vision, personalities and love for their work. 2 Of The absolute nicest people you will meet. They do not disappoint. We would do it all again for more of their amazing work..... Roll on the vow renewal. We highly, highly recommend. They are the best!

We had our wedding at lady of the rock on the 30/5/2017. Picking suppliers was a scary task putting your trust in complete strangers but picking who to use for our wedding photographs for me was the biggest decision because they had to be perfect so that we could capture our special day.

From the very first Skype we knew we had absolutely made the right decision. Kelly and James were so warm and friendly and went through all of options tailoring our package for what we wanted with no pressure to buy any extras.

On the morning of the wedding I was so nervous but as soon as they arrived they made me feel at ease snapping away and making me laugh. Before I knew it I almost forgot I hardly knew them and it was just like having friends take them.

They stayed with us the whole day and most of the evening and they did not stop smiling ( I actually think they enjoyed the day more than us).

Initially I only decided to opt for a short video to capture the best parts of the day but following my husbands emotional speech I just knew I had to have it all and so I contacted Kelly and she put all of the unused footage together for me to keep forever.

We couldn't thank them enough for their hard work on the most important day of our lives and I genuinely feel like we have made two lovely friends in the algarve xx

James and Kellie delivered five stars at our wedding creating amazing photos and video! We were really pleased with the results and the professionalism and friendliness of the team was brilliant. We would definitely recommend them!
