"Winner of the Hitched Wedding Photography Awards 2024"

Hello, I'm Lewis, a lover of photography, gaming, hearty roast dinners, and the wonders of the great outdoors. (Planning a mountain wedding? Count me in! ) I've been capturing love stories since 2015 (can you believe it?), with the chance to snap moments in my hometown of Northamptonshire, all over the UK, and even across the globe! (Shooting a wedding in Mexico & Cyprus is a memory I will never forget!)

Along this incredible journey, I've met some amazing souls, and I genuinely adore what I do. Over the years, I've carved out a reputation for making couples feel at ease, charming the pants off parents, and blending in like a friend rather than just a photographer at weddings. If you're on the lookout for a photographer who vibes with the moment instead of taking over, then drop me a message today!

"Lewis knows exactly what will look great without making you feel uncomfortable. He’s up for a laugh but will absolutely match your vibe if you’re not quite as bonkers as me and my wife. As an ex-wedding photographer myself (something I didn’t disclose to Lewis) I can only say he is absolutely one of the best. Thank you, Lewis! We’ll have you back for any of our big life events in the future. An absolute legend!" - Heidi & Aidan

  • Award-winning photography, specialising in capturing your day in the most natural way possible, with a few creative portraits thrown into the mix (No cheesy posing here, that's a promise!)

"Would 100% recommend Lewis to anyone thinking of hiring him to photograph their wedding. He is so down to earth, made us feel completely at ease and it was like having a mate taking photos of our special day!" - Maria & Shane

I have captured well over 150 weddings, and have built up a reputation over the years for putting everyone at ease, allowing you to celebrate your day to the max. I’m all about capturing the love, laughter, and everything in between. My goal is to give you photographs that will transport you right back to how your day felt.

Posing, I don’t go big on posing, and I won’t take you away from your wedding for hours. I understand you want to spend as much time with your loved ones as possible. At some point though, you’ll want a few creative photographs of the two of you. (No cheesy posing here, and that's a promise!) But rest assured, these will not take long at all, giving you more time with your nearest and dearest.

For the majority of your day, I’ll be there capturing everything as it unfolds naturally. I aim to provide you with photographs that are honest, authentic, and truly reflective of your day.

Incredibly talented and friendly photographer

We came across Lewis on the Hitched website and immediately felt he would be a good fit to capture our wedding – and we weren’t wrong. From the first consultation, he was really clear about his photography style and what we could expect from his services; and the final consultation a few weeks prior to the wedding really reassured me that he would capture all of the essential moments.
On the wedding morning, Lewis met me and my bridesmaids at our hotel to capture us getting ready – his energy levels were contagious and really got us in the spirit of celebration. Despite the room being very full with me, six bridesmaids and three stylists, Lewis was able to seamlessly work around everyone to ensure the morning was well documented. He moved across to the venue with us shortly afterwards and continued to catch all the special moments – a first look with my parents, gifts, getting ready. He was also more than happy to capture some of the ‘sillier’ requests from my sister and I.
Lewis stayed with us for the rest of the day, until around 9pm – he somehow managed to be everywhere without us even noticing he was there, but based on the previews, I’m confident he has captured so many special moments. One of our guests even came up to me an extatically exclaimed ‘your photographer is everywhere, it’s great!’. The portrait previews we have seen are absolutely stunning – not only did we get some beautiful photos during and after the ceremony, Lewis was always on the look out for more opportunities for a good photo, and he even spotted a brief moment where the sky looked on fire at sunset, and quickly got us outside for a photo opportunity that I had wished for, but didn’t think I’d get with it being a cloudy day – so massive props to him for that!
I’m so incredibly happy that we found Lewis – his photos capture the emotion in every little moment and every image is the perfect reflection of the love and happiness we felt on the day. I shall treasure these photos forever, and can’t thank him enough for the wonderful job he did documenting our special day.

Incredible

Lewis photographed our wedding in September 2024 and did the most fantastic job! Lewis is extremely organised, approachable and personable, with us receiving plenty of compliments on his discreet style of photographing the day. We received a highlights video containing some of the photos from the day very quickly - we cannot wait to see the final album!
We would highly recommend Lewis, he captured our day beautifully.

Photographed my daughters wedding

Lovely chap, very unobtrusive, captured both formal and informal relaxed photographs through the ceremony and in to the evening. Provided sample photographs immediately after the wedding and leading up to release of the pakage of photographs a couple of weeks later when they had been reviewed and edited.
Excellent service, nice chap to deal with on the day.

Wedding photographer at Dodmoor house - 5.8.24

Lewis photographed our wedding on Monday 5th July as at Dodmoor house. Leading up to the wedding Lewis was extremely helpful and always willing to answer any questions we had. We had an initial meeting where we discussed our plans and another meeting just before the wedding where we discussed the final details.

On the day Lewis arrived early to ensure he was prepared. He made the wedding party and all the guest feel very comfortable and we very quickly forgot he was there as he became one of the guest. This resulted in some fantastic candid photos. Lewis also took some beautiful portraits of us. Posing for photos does not come naturally to us but Lewis made us feel very comfortable.
We love the photos we have received and would recommend Lewis to anyone getting married in the future.
Thank you Lewis .

Amazing day! Lewis captured our day beautifully!

Lewis was a true professional from start to finish. He helped us to feel relaxed throughout, captured plenty of action shots on the day meaning we have so many beautiful memories. We choose Lewis because his photography showed so much emotion and when we received our sample photographs we were delighted with his work. Lewis' attention to detail means that our entire day has been captured perfectly! Lewis was relaxed throughout and good fun. Thanks Lewis I would definitely recommend you to other couples.

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Lewis did an amazing job for our LOTR themed wedding. Such a nice guy. Everyone loved him. Had a laugh as well which is nice. He captured such lovely photos that would have been missed if we didn't have him. You can see he's so passionate about what he does which is so great. He did an excellent job of getting through all of our requested photo's list plus our couples pictures all before the wedding breakfast was due!
It was an absolute pleasure working with you :)

Amazing photographer!!!

Lewis was simply amazing. He was the first photographer we called, and after speaking with him we knew we didn't really need to talk to anyone else. We obviously liked his portfolio enough to call him, and we don't regret the decision.

We got married on the 6th of January 2024, and Lewis was a very reassuring presence during the whole day. His pictures were amazing 😍

Thank you Lewis for your help!

Perfect Wedding Photographer

We cannot recommend Lewis enough! He was the photographer at our wedding day and we are so pleased with all our photos. Not only that but also how pleasant he was with everyone on the day, he made everyone feel comfortable and just felt like he was part of the wedding party. From the first correspondence Lewis was easy to contact always quick to respond, he was always helpful answering any queries and addressing any concerns, he was open to our ideas and the utmost professional. All our wedding guests have commented on how much they liked Lewis and how good of a photographer he is.
Lewis was also creative with his photography, capturing the traditional photos but also fun, different photos which we loved.
