I'm Clinton James and I have been covering Seattle, Bellingham and San Juan Island weddings for almost 20 years. Yes, I have experience. As a wedding photojournalist, engagement and elopement photographer offering film and film-like intimate weddings, I deliver that sought after balance of images with beautiful, thoughtful elegance and candid, honest emotions.
I travel throughout the San Juan Islands and Puget Sound region covering elegant weddings for style-conscious couples who want great pictures AND want to enjoy their wedding experience in style. Taking pictures is my 9-5 passion. I love my career and the great couples I get to know and work with on a significant day of their lives.

Full disclosure: I didn't go to school for photography. In college, I was more interested in the Big Picture: Philosophy. Religion. Aesthetics. My professors assigned books which hinted at something more, an eternal Beauty, an experience of being ALIVE! It didn't take long to discover that authentic feeling of being alive wasn't found in philosophy books.
What can I say? Clinton was such a pleasure to work with and our pictures came out absolutely stunning! He was quick, non-obtrusive, and captured such sweet moments without us even realizing he was taking photos. He is highly talented working with the natural light and the surroundings to capture beautiful memories.

We are a Wedding and Event planning business and have been working with Clinton for about 5 years now with many clients. Clinton is the invisible photographer that captures the emotion of the moment in an image, all while staying out of the scene. Clinton takes the time to get to know each client and really captures who they are while taking amazing photos to tell the entire story. He is a gentleman and professional, that respects the fact you have asked him to capture an important and very personal day. We believe this is very important when working in the wedding industry and one of the reasons

Clinton's final products reflect his passion for his art. Clinton shot our engagement and wedding photos. Both told a beautiful story. Beyond the hundreds of spectacular pictures, I greatly appreciated Clinton's ability to communicate with me, my husband, and the rest of the wedding party. Specifically, I remember during the wedding party pictures, he narrated the story he wanted to portray in each shot; this helped all of us know the purpose of the photo. The end result was awesome! Additionally, during the ceremony and reception, I rarely even noticed him. He captured intimate moments without

Most people choose their date based on their venue availability. We called Clinton first to make sure he was available. We will cherish our photos from him for a long time and can't wait to show them to our kids and grandkids. Not only do they document our special and important day but they are also art that will live on for generations. Thanks for all of your hard work Clinton!!
