Beautiful photography for families, Brides and business

Hello and welcome

I’m truly honored that you’re considering me for your family’s photography. My name is James Bignell, and for over 23 years, my work has been driven by a simple yet profound manifesto: to create beauty out of the everyday magic that exists within families. My aim is to capture not just faces but the love, laughter, and deep connections that bind you together. Winning eight prestigious portraiture awards has been a privilege, but what truly inspires me is telling your unique story through timeless images.

Every session is crafted to be a seamless, enjoyable experience for your family. From booking to editing and retouching, I handle every detail to make sure that each portrait feels personal, authentic, and truly yours. Although I’m based in Kent, I work across the UK and internationally, including each winter in Dubai, ensuring a world-class experience wherever you may be.

I understand how precious these moments are, especially for mothers who want to celebrate the love they have for their children and capture the beauty of these bonds forever. If you’re ready to create something unforgettable, I would love to help you bring it to life. Feel free to reach out anytime to reserve your session—weekends fill up quickly, so it’s always best to book early.

Let’s capture the joy and love of your family, preserving it in images that will be cherished for generations.

Warmly,
James Bignell

“We have used James on three separate occasions and have never been disappointed. His photographs are creative and the images crisp and sharp. James is very innovative with his shot choices and style. James also has the patience of a saint, he needed it when photographing our three young children. I would highly recommend James for all of your photography needs.”

“James has been our family photographer for over a decade. He has a knack with children (and adults!), putting us immediately at ease and creating a composition that captures the essence. As a result the photos he takes are second to none.”

“James Bignell is a wonderful photographer. His wealth of experience and friendly nature means that both adults and children alike feel at ease in front of the camera. This makes for great photos and enables him to capture the very essence of someone’s personality. Just have a look at his website, the pictures speak for themselves.”
