Natural, documentary wedding photography for couples who want to enjoy their day

Hey, I’m Lewis.

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have captured over 250 weddings across the UK, from relaxed countryside celebrations to full on party filled days.

My approach is simple, I focus on real moments and real connection, so you can enjoy your wedding day without feeling like you’re on a photoshoot.

  • No awkward posing.
  • No taking over.
  • No disappearing for hours while your guests wonder where you’ve gone.

For most of the day, I’ll be quietly blending in, capturing things as they naturally unfold, the laughs, the hugs, the chaos, and the quieter moments in between.

When it comes to portraits, I’ll guide you just enough to create something natural and creative, without it ever feeling forced or uncomfortable.

Couples often say it feels more like having a friend there with a camera rather than a photographer directing the day, and that’s exactly how I want it to feel.

“Lewis knows exactly what will look great without making you feel uncomfortable. He’s up for a laugh but will absolutely match your vibe.”

Heidi & Aidan

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.

Excellent in all aspects! Book Lewis you won’t regret it ☺️

Lewis was absolutely incredible, from the first phone call over a year ago to the final goodbye on the night (of which we were very sad to see him go!) he was an absolute gentleman and went above and beyond our expectations, including being game with going up in a very high cherry picker for the group pic! We had our wedding in a church and then on a family farm and the photos have captured the fun, the laughs, the heartfelt moments so perfectly. Everything felt so natural and candid and he put at us ease immediately, I can’t recommend him enough!

Fun, relaxed, natural, and really cares about what he does

I think I originally found Lewis whilst researching photographers on Hitched.
After we picked our venue, The Betsey Wynne, in Buckingham we knew we needed to secure Lewis as our photographer.
He ticked all our boxes before we even met him.
His photos are amazing and we are so glad we picked him for our big day.
His communication through out was 10/10.
The photos he took have blown us away and we couldn’t be happier.

100/10 unbelievable, spectacular photography!

If you want an elite level photographer who will get unbelievable pictures of your special, once in a lifetime day, then honestly don't hesitate to use Lewis. We used Lewis after seeing his work at a wedding fair. Our venue had to change to Chester House Estate, and even though it was then a venue he hadnt used before he had no hesitation. He did a video call with us beforehand, got all the key info and listened to what we wanted. He then turned up early to the venue, did all the prep to find the perfect backdrops for spectacular photos. He sent us the photos and a slideshow within a few days and I was honestly beyond blown away! His craftmenship was outstanding, the quality of work was on another level! He captured so photos even beyond our wildest imaginations, always had helpful hints and tips but always always let you lead the way if you wanted.

On top of this, he is such a top top nice bloke. It felt like having a mate at my wedding with Lewis there, he made it a pleasure, effortless and so natural to take photos on such a big day. So natural and exquisite photography, I would never hesitate to use Lewis and it is worth every penny! Mutiple guests said how nice he was and how he worked his socks off! It was one of the hottest days of the year but he still did such a phenomenal job! Eternally grateful to him for capturing such beautiful moments on our big day! Biggest Thank you Lewis.

Amazing from start to finish

I can't emphasize enough how glad I am to have booked Lewis for our wedding at Chester House Rushden. He slotted in to the day seamlessly, took so many amazing candid photos (it seems like noone has a bad angle!), and how easy he made the portraits to do. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him!

Amazing photographer - beautiful photos

We initially chose Lewis as we loved the natural photos on his website. After speaking to him we felt reassured that he would capture what we wanted for our small family wedding - relaxed informal shots and some more formal photos as well.

The photos he captured were perfect. The slideshow showed the story of the day. There were lovely photos of us - capturing emotion and laughter - and most of all photos we are looking forward to putting up!

There were also fab photos of the guests. Lewis was so accommodating taking lots of photos of different people that we asked him to on the day.

Lewis managed to get the shots without us ever feeling his presence and the guests commented how lovely he was.

We would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Lewis was attentive, compassionate and considerate to us before, during and after the event. He ensured that every part of our wedding was captured, and showed complete respect throughout. We had an amazing day and have the most wonderful photographic memories to keep forever. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Just amazing. Thankyou!

Thank you Lewis!

Lewis was our photographer for our wedding and we are so glad with our decision to have him as a supplier. From the first message Lewis was very reassuring, caring and informative about what to expect on the day and the process beforehand too. He was on hand any day or time for queries and questions we had and we genuinely felt Lewis cared and was excited for our wedding too! We were both nervous about having photos taken and felt daunted by the idea of it but on the day we felt so relaxed and Lewis fitted into the atmosphere of the wedding and we barely noticed him at all! The couples portraits felt so natural and we actually loved the time away together and didn’t feel awkward which we were worried about before. We are beyond delighted with our full gallery of photos, I don’t know how we will decide on our favourites for the album. They are truly priceless! Everyone has commented to us how Lewis has captured the emotions and atmosphere of the day and the happiness from every photo means we can relive that every day. Thank you so much Lewis! Would recommend to anyone especially those nervous about having their photos taken but still want their special day captured.

Victoria and Scott’s spring wedding

LEWIS!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What can we say? He is an absolute superstar. Recommended through our venue (Dodmoor House) and he is not just a consummate professional, he is also the kindest and funniest man we’ve met, we loved his candid/documentary style of photography when planning our wedding and all of our guests haven't stopped raving about how amazing he was throughout the day, even with the children!! We cannot recommend Lewis enough, he is just brilliant. We cannot wait to see our final photos! ❤️

Perfect photographer

From the moment we met on our zoom meeting Lewis made us feel seen, understood, and completely at ease as we went through the day and how we wanted it captured. We decided we wanted less staged photos and more natural shots and somehow, Lewis managed to capture moments that looked so real you would think it was staged.

As I stood waiting for partner, trying to hold myself together during the vows, the way our guests looked at us during the ceremony and the happy smile on our dogs face. These weren’t just photos. They were moments. And they mean everything to us and our family.

I had family members come up to me asking if we knew Lewis personally as he slotted himself in and enjoyed himself just as much as the guests. Such a calm, kind, and grounding presence throughout the entire day and very much professional. We never felt rushed or posed. Everything felt natural, intimate, and real. exactly how we wanted to remember it. Lewis captured our nephew being the best ring bearer aswell as also being dragged around the lawn games by him wanting the perfect photo.

If you are lucky enough to work with lewis know that you are not just hiring a photographer. You are working with someone that will be a friend, be everybody's plus one and the most dedicated person to getting the best photo.
It is hard to find someone that you can trust with your most special day and I can promise you, from bridal prep to first dance he will not stop.

What photos we have been provided with so far are incredible. From the quality of the photos to the moments captured in them. Absolutely flawless.

Oh and he even packed his gear away in his car look up at the sky and found the perfect shot as the sun was setting. I turned around and seen Lewis running towards us saying we needed to come quick to capture the perfect photo. What a hero Lewis is.
Some hero's wear capes, Lewis wears countless cameras.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you've given us.

Lewis is amazing at what he does!

We absolutely love all of the wedding pictures Lewis took. Lewis’s trade mark is natural photos which is what drew me to book Lewis, and that he delivered on. Many of his reviews commented on how Lewis slotted into the wedding party and was so friendly with all the guests, this was the case on our day too.

Lewis’s communication before the wedding was amazing too, the best of all the suppliers I booked. Lewis made everything so easy from start to finish. I would highly recommend Lewis.

Of all our suppliers, Lewis was the highlight.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Lewis for our wedding day. From the moment we met him, we knew we’d made the right choice – he’s not only incredibly talented but also just a genuinely great guy who we got on with brilliantly.

Lewis has a real creative eye and captured moments we’ll treasure forever. Despite the unpredictable weather on the day, he worked his magic and delivered fantastic photos that exceeded our expectations. When the weather briefly cleared, he was quick-thinking enough to get us outside for some beautiful outdoor shots without any fuss.

What really set Lewis apart was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the day. He blended seamlessly into our wedding party and never felt intrusive or overbearing – it was like having a friend there who just happened to be taking incredible photos. His relaxed approach meant we could enjoy our day naturally while he captured every special moment.

We would recommend Lewis without hesitation to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who combines exceptional talent with a warm, easy-going personality. Thank you, Lewis, for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We couldn’t recommend Lewis enough. We are beyond happy with the photos he has captured for us and have had so many complements from guests about them.

If you are considering booking Lewis, do!
