Just James Weddings has been announced as a regional finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards 2025.

The business, which is run by James Clarke, has been shortlisted in the 'Wedding Photographer' category.

Mr Clarke said: "To be named as a finalist for the South West Wedding Industry Awards is massive for both myself and my business, and I feel so grateful to all my couples that voted for me just to make it to the finals.

"The standard of the other photographers in my category is really high, I feel so honoured just to be named amongst them."

The regional awards event in November will determine the companies with the best client feedback and those that have impressed the expert judging panel.

Regional winners will then progress to the national finals in January 2025.

Damian Bailey, founder of The Wedding Industry Awards, said: "Since 2011 The Wedding Industry Awards has been dedicated to recognising and rewarding excellence in the wedding industry and this year’s regional finalists are clearly at the top of their game.

"Our awards are unique as they are voted by recent wedding couples and it’s not the total number of votes that companies receive that leads to success.

"Instead, we focus on the quality of the feedback they get from eligible couples, amongst other things.

"Larger companies and talented individuals compete on a level playing field and the best wedding suppliers always rise to the top."

Just James Weddings has had a successful year, covering 25 weddings, revamping their website, and being featured on two prominent wedding industry websites.

Mr Clarke added: "Winning this regional award would mean the world to me and I would be over the moon, especially given the level of competition this award brings."
