Hi, I'm ANJUM james-FRANCIS
I film and photograph destination weddings across Europe, Middle East and worldwide.
I started this when I was travelling across Gambia, Greece, Mexico and the USA. I took joy in the creative process and outcome of building stories using my photographs and films.
I handle the consultation, the filming, the edit, the grade, and the delivery. I film a limited number of weddings a year and I am personally at every one.

"What stands out most about Jay is his ability to capture not just what happened, but how it felt to be there. Looking back, choosing Jay was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. We absolutely loved working with him and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Every time we watch the videos, we're right back there again. Thank you Jay, for helping us relive the best day ever." - ALEX + TIM

"AJ is the best! He has done friends weddings since ours and is booked in for my sister in laws wedding next year!
We find the posing photos extremely awkward and AJ made them fun, natural and candid without the hours of awkward posing! He blends into the background at the wedding and gets the best footage!! The video will forever bring back the best memories of our wedding day!
His prices are extremely competitive and his work is unreal!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️"

FAQ
Where do you travel and are there additional costs?
I am based in The Midlands, England and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I regularly cover weddings across the Middle East and Europe. For Europe and the Middle East; Travel and Accommodation are included in the price. For weddings further afield; An additional travel fee will apply.
I’m camera-shy—will this actually help me look natural?
I have the skillset to creatively capture photo and film. Film was the first skillset I acquired, meaning I naturally learned to pose through motion. As I started to improve my photography skills alongside, I noticed how comfortable couples felt, and how natural my images looked when i posed through motion, even when shooting photos. The majority of my couples appreciate my ability to make ordinary people feel at ease in-front of my camera.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, I take a deposit to secure your date. You can then pay the remaining balance in instalments if you'd like. Tell me what schedule suits you and I'll set it up.
