✨ Luxury Wedding Photographer in Northern Ireland, Donegal & Beyond
Where Northern Irish Craic & Banter Meets Epic Wedding Photography

www.jamesaikenphotography.com My calling is to adventure through-out our emerald island to capture the heart & soul of a couples unique love story on their wedding day. Not knowing how to operate a camera, I bought one and self taught myself the basics. The m

ain reason was clear from the get-go, to photograph my little girl’s growth, but I found in due-time that this was an art that I fell-in-love with. Imagine holding a picture of the past in your hands and seeing the true value of a timeless spectacle. Fast forward a year later, I wanted to show the world what I had to offer, so, in 2015 I established my photography business into what it is today - A Memory Archive. This is me, is it you? I want to take pictures that matter to people, that imagery is a must-have during their wedding day! The heartfelt moments that last way beyond just a memory but to bring you back to that time. I’m completely driven by photography that hits the heart between two people. What makes me tick as a memory catcher? I love to photograph a couples connection, the desire they have for each-other is inspirational and feeds my romantic soul. An adventure with a view, a fun couple with a great sense of humour and isn't afraid to let their love flourish is what makes me love what I do most. It’s a true honour to be a part of a couples story, documenting every cherished moment that will be with them forever. My Philosophy...

My Philosophy is to give YOU a breathtaking experience. I want to help not just as your photographer, but as your professional third wheel that's around to guide you through-out this beautiful process before & after your wedding day. I'm a hardcore fan of Iced Coffees (I'll most likely be sipping one during my meal time when you're having yours). Immersing myself in a good romantic comedy with goodies! Adventuring all over Ireland with my other half and taking pictures! Watching my children grow and smile each day I have them by my side. Listening to my Spotify playlist and getting lost in editing photographs!

Bon & I | Assaranca Waterfall

Plan set in motion, a place close to my heart, and the girl of my dreams none the wiser. I set up the camera like I always do on our trips, except this time, it wasn't just any trip.

Down on one knee, I started with her name. She laughed, and I could see it click, she knew exactly where this was going.

The rest is in the photographs.

We got engaged. 06.08.26

Charlotte & Eraj | Guildhall Derry

Over the Peace Bridge and across the road, these two arrived for their wedding together with their kids to be wed. They knew the vibe they wanted, the people they wanted and of course the memories they wanted to have. Everything was perfect, even the wind that day for some truly epic photographs.

Thanks so much for having me capture the madness!

Cara & Thomas | Beech Hill Country House

A wedding with close friends and family from all over the world, these two made it a special one, with some of the tallest English lads I've ever seen mixed with the beauty of Scottish lasses. The couple fell in love at the other end of the globe and thought why not bring everyone to Northern Ireland to get married. So, they did just that. What an hilariously wildcard day! An absolute blast to be part of.

Thank you so much for having me round to photograph the madness.
