About

James Murphy

My name is Jim Murphy. I love Walt Disney World and iced tea. I think comics are an under-appreciated form of literature and I'm a wedding photographer.

Art, in many forms, has always been an important part of my life. At Rhode Island College, I was a graphic design major and continue to pursue design as my career however, photography has always interested me. I remember sitting with my parents as a child, looking through old photos and laughing at the moments captured on film.

It wasn't until 2006 that I picked up my first SLR camera and suddenly, I was hooked. My cousins wedding of the same year was the first wedding I attended with my new camera in toe and I spent all evening snapping photos from the edge of the dance floor. From that night on I couldn't put my camera down. I was constantly experimenting with my camera in different settings, with different family members as my personal ginuea pigs. But it wasn't until after I became engaged to my now wife (aka my partner in crime and second shooter) that wedding photography even crossed my mind.

I love photographing the unplanned and organic moments. It's these unposed, unexpected, and unequaled moments that I tend to focus on. Moments like those have a fascinating effect of bringing the viewer into the past. Whether it's a father smiling proudly while giving his daughter away at the altar or a couple laughing together on a park bench, it's those emotions that I find myself drawn to.
