Natural, Relaxed & Unobtrusive: Meet Wedding Photographer Jim Wileman

At Tree Top Escape, we're lucky to work with some incredibly talented wedding suppliers who understand exactly what makes an intimate wedding so special. One of those is North Devon photographer Jim Wileman, who has been photographing weddings at Tree Top Escape since the very beginning.

An Experienced North Devon Wedding Photographer

Jim is an experienced freelance photographer and videographer based here in North Devon, with his work taking him across the West Country and further afield.

Alongside weddings, Jim photographs portraits and editorial features for publications including The Times, The Guardian, the Financial Times and The Independent.

It's this editorial experience that makes his wedding photography feel so natural. Rather than constantly staging moments, Jim has a brilliant eye for capturing what's really happening — the little looks, the laughter and all those moments you might otherwise miss.

The Right Choice if You Don't Love Having Your Photo Taken

We know that having your photo taken isn't everyone's favourite thing.

For many couples choosing an intimate wedding, one of the things they love most is being able to relax and enjoy the day without feeling like they're constantly on show. Jim's approach fits this perfectly.

He's calm, friendly and wonderfully unobtrusive. There's no pressure to perform for the camera or spend hours posing for photographs. Instead, he quietly captures the day as it unfolds, helping you feel comfortable while still making sure you have beautiful photographs to look back on.

And being brilliant with dogs is always going to earn extra points with us!

A Photographer Who Knows Tree Top Escape

There's a real advantage to choosing a photographer who already knows Tree Top Escape.

Jim knows the venue, the grounds and the different locations we can use for photographs. He understands how our intimate wedding days flow and, importantly, how to capture everything without taking you away from your guests — or each other — for too long.

Whether it's photographs along our wooden walkway, beside the lake, around the grounds or those quieter moments inside the treehouse, Jim knows how to make the most of Tree Top Escape while keeping everything feeling natural and relaxed.

Why We Love Working With Jim

For us, recommending suppliers isn't simply about the finished product. It's also about the person you'll have around you on one of the most important days of your life.

Jim is professional, reliable and genuinely lovely to have around. He slots seamlessly into a Tree Top Escape wedding day and works brilliantly alongside our team and other suppliers.

Most importantly, he understands that an intimate wedding isn't a photoshoot — it's your wedding day. His job is to capture it beautifully while giving you the space to actually enjoy it.
