Meet Your Photographer
Hi, I’m James, the creative eye behind Day & Knight Photography. Based in Brightlingsea, Essex, I specialize in wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photography, capturing raw emotions and real moments.
With over 14 years of experience, I blend documentary-style photography with a modern, artistic approach. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident, ensuring your special moments are preserved beautifully.
Let’s chat about your vision – I’d love to hear your story!
James & Emily – the duo behind Day and Knight Photography!
We first met when Kid Cudi – Day ‘N’ Nite was released (yep, that’s a true fact!). Fast forward to today, we’re engaged and living a simple yet wonderful life in the small coastal town of Brightlingsea, near Colchester.
We have three amazing kids—our daughter Esmé , and our two sons, Forrest Fox and Oakley Wolf . Our home is also full of furry (and shelled) friends: our cat Loki, our Dog Harley, and our tortoise Malcolm.
Thanks for stopping by, we can’t wait to capture your story!
"Hi my name is Emily Day, the cuter, shorter better half of James and also the boss and administrator of Day & Knight Photography. I often assist James at weddings if you add on one of our mini movies, its the only time I let him be in charge! I talk a lot especially when I am excited about something. I love a cuppa with biscuits, oh and a gin & tonic!! Meeting new people and making new friends is my favourite, and falling off my snowboard, chips with cheese & gravy is always a win. I am number 1 fan of The Walking Dead and Justin Beiber (don’t judge me)!! My favourite times are nights in watching movies and eating popcorn. I use to live in Canada Vancouver Island, James actually proposed to me there when we visited a few years ago and I said no in a shock panic, but did mean yes. Our daughter & son are my world and make me smile every day. I love my fiancé he makes me laugh and I am obsessed with our little family."
"Hi I am James Knights, the taller, hairy other half of Emily and I am the professional photographer and editor and main man for our company . I like making people laugh, and very much a cat person. I love snowboarding, all music, watching many movies, guiness, and crisps and dip.I am a huge Game of Thrones and a total geek loving all things like Marvel ESPECIALLY Ironman and my favourite movies are Lord Of The Rings of course! I am more of a big kid then my own children Esmé and Forrest who are the two things in this world I adore, oh and our VW T5 which I love working on when I have time. I proposed to my bestfriend a few years back on holiday in Canada on top of a mountain and she pretty much said no but meant yes. I really enjoy photography and always have been creative. I can be quiet when we first meet but then love to have a laugh and banter.”
