THE GUIDE
At We Are The Jamess, we’ve spent years capturing weddings across the UK and beyond and along the way, we’ve learned what truly matters.
These free wedding planning guides are here to help you cut through the noise and focus on what counts: connection, intention, and a day that flows naturally.
Inside, you’ll find everything from elopement planning advice, to wedding day timelines, tips on natural wedding photography, family photo planning, and how to create moments that feel honest, not staged.
Whether you’re planning a destination elopement, a micro wedding, or a full celebration with your people... There’s something here for you!

Planning your wedding shouldn’t feel like ticking boxes.
It should feel like coming home to what matters most.
The Wedding Guide was made for couples who want more than Pinterest-perfect.
You want to feel present. To be yourselves.
And to have images that don’t just look good — but mean something.
Dreaming of ditching the rulebook?
This one’s for the brave, the curious, and the quietly certain.
The Elopement Guide isn’t about trends or timelines —
it’s about choosing intimacy over expectation.
Meaning over performance.
And a wedding day that feels completely, unapologetically you.
