About

Dana Lewis Photography is a documentary wedding photographer based in Shropshire, covering weddings across the West Midlands, Staffordshire and beyond.

Known for unfiltered storytelling with a few proper bangers thrown in, Dana photographs weddings as they actually felt, the big moments, the quiet ones, the chaos, the nerves, the laughter that makes people snort drinks out of their nose, and the emotional bits couples often miss while they’re living them.

Most of the day is approached completely naturally. No awkward posing. No turning weddings into all-day photoshoots. Dana blends into the atmosphere, letting moments unfold while keeping things relaxed and easy for everyone involved. Couples often say it feels more like having another mate at the wedding than a supplier following them around with a camera.

Alongside the documentary side, Dana creates striking, cinematic portraits that still feel connected to the reality of the day rather than staged for Instagram. The balance between honest storytelling and visually powerful imagery is what the brand has become known for.

Dana shoots a limited number of weddings each year to keep every couple’s experience personal and fully focused. From the first chat through to gallery delivery, everything is designed to feel straightforward, relaxed and genuine, with no hard sell, no hidden extras and no conveyor-belt approach.

The result is wedding photography that feels emotional, energetic, honest and timeless without ever losing the personality of the people in front of the camera.

Best decision we made

We cannot recommend Dana highly enough. From our very first conversations, she was warm, professional, organised, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was captured exactly as we hoped. Her communication throughout the whole process was excellent, and she made everything feel effortless.

On the day itself, Dana built an amazing rapport with us straight away and made us feel completely relaxed in front of the camera. She was fantastic with our four-year-old and had such a natural way with children, helping everyone feel comfortable and at ease. It honestly felt like having a friend we’d known for years there with us!

Dana struck the perfect balance between being present and capturing every important moment while never feeling intrusive. She blended seamlessly with our guests, and so many people commented on how friendly, approachable, and lovely she was. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she went above and beyond throughout the day to make sure every detail was captured.

Her talent is truly exceptional. She has an incredible eye for detail, light, and those natural candid moments that tell the story of the day. The photographs are beautiful, emotional, and full of genuine memories that we will treasure forever.

We were also amazed by how quickly she sent our sneak peeks, which were absolutely stunning and gave us so much excitement while waiting for the full gallery. Every image we received exceeded our expectations.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, creative, professional, reliable, organised, reassuring, brilliant with children, and an absolute joy to spend your day with, Dana is the person you need. She captured the happiest day of our lives perfectly, and we are so grateful to have these memories forever.

Colourful November wedding photos from Dana

After seeing Dana at work at a friend's wedding we knew we had to ask her to photograph our own special day. Her energy and skills are unmatched and we are so grateful to her for capturing the best shots - even in November!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
