James Hardie Photography Studios

beautiful studio i felt very welcome service was outstanding?

beautiful studio!!!! The service and the pictures were outstanding!!!! Definitely coming again

From start to finish Kellie has been amazing in helping me propose to my now fiancé in the most romantic way possible! She arranged everything from flowers, chocolates, roses etc. and even booked us a beachside restaurant with a sunset view. Kellie really went above and beyond to make everything special! Highly recommended!!

We got married in Portugal almost 3 weeks ago on the 5th of June in the Vidamar Hotel. As I sit down to write this review I realise that honestly there are no words to thank Kellie and James Hardie for everything they did for myself and Ronan, I can only hope that this review reflects how unbelievably grateful we are to have met them and to have had them involved in the planning and of course the photography of our day. I first contacted James in June 2017 while researching photographers in the Algarve. I had already booked our venue and wedding planner at this point and was on to my next task of finding a photographer. When I came across James’s facebook page and seen all of their previous work I knew i just had to have them, their photographs just blew me away. I contacted James and was so excited when he confirmed that they were still available for our date so I went ahead and provisionally booked them. In the background I contacted my wedding planner to tell her that I had found a photographer available who I absolutely loved and that I had booked them for our date, only to be told that she would not work with this photographer under any circumstances, leaving me to choose between her and the photographer. Lesson to be learned for all future brides.. don't rush into booking a planner, you may not even need one with all the information available online. If you are having one always ask planners before booking them if they have any restrictions around what suppliers they work with!! In the end I just couldn’t continue having this planner organise what should be the most enjoyable day of my life when she knew that I felt so unhappy but just did not seem to care at all. Kellie & James kindly offered to step in, not only to be our photographers but to help plan the entire day and to say that this was the best decision we ever made is such an understatement. These guys truly have the bride and groom’s interest at heart and their only focus was ensuring that we felt happy and that we had the day that we wanted. Kellie took over the planning from this point and organised the entire day, her daughter Megan also helped and even decorated our venue for us on the morning of the wedding. Kellie was so organised and helpful throughout the last year.. I honestly don’t know where she gets the time to sleep!! I was so relaxed on the day, as i knew i had nothing to stress about. As for the photography, well they had a team of people with them on the day. Everyone commented on how professional they all were. They made us feel so at ease and we had a great laugh with them. We received our extended video clip with the drone and it is just unreal, something we will cherish forever and brings tears to my eyes. I am sure our photographs will be just as amazing. Thanks again Kellie, James & Team, we will never forget the effort you put in to make our big day so special and so enjoyable , we enjoyed every bit of it from start to finish XxX

On behalf of myself and my new husband Chris I would like to thank James and Kellie for capturing the amazing moments of our special day in Vilamoura. Organising the wedding from the UK can be daunting, but from the first email exchanged, Kellie and James instilled confidence in us and took a genuine interest in us as a couple. We met last minute (the day before the wedding) and left our meeting feeling reassured and confident that we had made the right choice regarding our photographs. On the day, they did exactly as we requested and kept the photography laid back and unintrusive. They stayed for the whole day and even left us a lovely message in our guestbook. James and Kellie clearly have an eye for detail and found opportunities for photographs at times and places we wouldn't have even thought about. We found them professional, fun and genuine people. The photographs from our wedding are amazing and we can't wait to share them with our friends and family. Thanks again for capturing the spirit and joy of our lovely

James and Kellie done our wedding on 29th Sept 18. To say they have given us the most perfect lifetime memories of our day is a huge understatement. They have totally surpassed our expectations. When we first seen their work we were so impressed we took our their biggest package as we wanted the works. We knew how good their work was but when we got our pics, our video and album etc we were just blown away. And to add to that they are the nicest couple who not only offer a professional service but also genuinely care about their work and the customer. We truly believe James and Kellie are the best in the Algarve at what they do and we recommend them to anyone.

We couldn't have chosen anyone better to photograph our wedding, we are so happy with our pictures! We both hate having our photograph being taken and were worried how we would feel on the day but Kellie and James put us at ease straight away. They both made us all feel so relaxed during the day and we have got so many gorgeous photos. I would highly recommend them, Thank you both so much!

Disappointing... Went three times to this "24 hours open" studio during normal office hours. Every time it was closed. The first two times I made a drive by, because of the closed blinds. The last time I went out of the car and saw the little writing "... by appointment". Great idea for a professional photographer to put a white small font on the glass door and keep the light grey blinds as background - giving really an outstanding contrast. Maybe it was good that nobody offers service there.
