I launched Margaret James in 2019 on what would have been my grandmother’s 92nd birthday. Her name and my grandfather’s live on in my work — in the quiet, timeless moments that connect generations.

Their love taught me what it means to notice, to pause, and to create something that lasts. It’s what inspired me to give others the same gift: the ability to relive not just what it looked like, but how it felt.

If you’re here, you care about more than the visuals. You want your day remembered for what it truly was — the laughter, the warmth, the way your people showed up for you.

You’re planning a day that feels intentional and real, and you want it captured that way — alive, honest, and full of feeling.

That’s exactly what I create: photographs and films that bring the feelings rushing back, every time.

My husband Andy, our daughters Palmer and Madelyn, and our pup Piper remind me daily of what really matters — the fleeting, unrepeatable moments that become the legacy you leave behind. That same spirit guides every wedding I photograph or film.

The reason I choose to document weddings is simple,

to help you hold on to what time so easily forgets.

Because when all is said and done, it’s never just about your wedding. It’s about the story your family will tell for generations.

I’d be honored to help you tell it well.
