light chaser +
moment seizer

HI I’M JAMES LIPPMANN. I’m a light chaser and a moment seizer, and I’m on a mission to create Images that speak to the heart!

I have been capturing weddings for over 8 years, and have loved every moment. Weddings are possibly the greatest opportunity to capture people through the lens, on the best day of their lives. So much effort and months of planning and prep go into this special day: hair, makeup, suits, flowers, dresses, styling and every finer detail, and I get the honour of freezing these moments.

get in touch

I want to be there for the big moments. I would love to hear from you all about your special day and how I can be apart of it.

"Our photos are EVERYTHING we could of hoped for and more"

I am so glad we chose James from Luminosity to be our wedding photographer. Right from the very beginning, James was professional and creative in his work ethic and approach. When we met the week prior to discuss our wedding photos, I mentioned to James that I did not want “cliche” photos and was hoping for something more industrial, And boy he did not disappoint. Our photos are EVERYTHING we could of hoped for and more, including some fantastic street crossing and back alley photos through Port Douglas. He captured every detail of our day perfectly and I would recommend him without a shadow of a doubt.

“They captured the best day of our life and we can’t thank them enough.”

I highly recommend the team at Luminosity Studios! My husband and I had them do our photography and videography and it was honestly so much fun!

They are so easy going and funny and the photos turned out so amazing!

" From start to finish on my wedding day James and his beautiful wife captured all those special moments perfectly!"

Where do I even start?
I found James on Insta and was immediately drawn in, I knew there and then I wanted him to be our wedding photographer and thankfully he was available! Leading up to the big day he was very helpful and responsive, answering all my random questions. From start to finish on my wedding day James and his beautiful wife captured all those special moments perfectly! My husband and I felt so comfortable and relaxed with their friendly/easy going nature.

He is seriously the best in the Biz! I cannot thank him enough, the quality of his work is perfection!

"Honestly could not have asked for a better experience!"

Honestly could not have asked for a better experience! Our day was everything we could have hoped for, and James and Micha captured it perfectly. The Luminosity team was an absolute pleasure to work with on the day, effortlessly fitting into our family and bridal party – adding to the fun and relaxed feel of the day.
James had our sneak peeks to us the following day and the album and video shortly after. Nothing was too hard for these guys, they went above and beyond with the album and the video, absolutely in love!

The boys were super organised, fun, relaxed and a made the whole experience a dream – could not recommend enough!

"We captured the most incredible images full of laughter and fun"

10/10! James is the go-to photographer if you are looking for someone to capture beautiful moments in FNQ (especially weddings!). James was so wonderful to deal with from start to finish answering all our questions in a very timely manner, offering advice, listening to our wants/needs and he fitted seamlessly into our perfect day. He made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera (something that myself or husband are not use too!) and captured the most incredible images full of laughter and fun. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
