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.”

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.

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Amazing photographer!

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. He was friendly, helpful and professional from the get go. He managed to capture joyful moments so discretely throughout the day, creating priceless memories for us to keep looking at. If you are considering booking Lewis, do!

Great photographer and a lovely guy!

Lewis photographed my friend's wedding (Sam & Frankie). He was brilliant - early to arrive (!), super responsive and made everyone feel really comfortable. on receipt of the first slideshow photos we were all absolutely in love - such stunning shots! Thank you Lewis!

Wow. Simply wow!

At the risk of running out of superlatives, Lewis is an exceptionally talented photographer who was simply amazing at our wedding. From start to finish we have nothing but praise for him, from initial enquiry to post-wedding photo releases he has been supremely organised, a prompt communicator and always happy to be reached out to. On the big day he was so friendly and relaxed, exactly what was needed! Our friends and family all specifically commented to us on the day and the morning after about how wonderful he was. And the photos! OMG – absolutely indescribable! It’s easy to understand how Lewis has won so many awards for his photos, they are simply incredible! If Lewis is free for your wedding and you haven’t booked a photographer yet, do not think twice, book him! I would recommend him to anyone, though frankly his photos recommend him themselves!

Couldn’t of asked for anything more perfect!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding at Plum Park Manor. From the moment we booked Lewis, everything felt effortless and on the big day, he was nothing short of exceptional.

He arrived early to take a walk around the venue, as he hadn’t shot much there before, and that extra care and attention to detail really showed in the photos. It was so reassuring to see someone take that time to get a feel for the space before diving in. Throughout the day, he blended into the background so naturally which was perfect for us, as quite a few of us are camera shy. He captured the most intimate, candid moments without ever making us feel like we were being watched or posed.

All of our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how lovely he was, he brought such calm, positive energy to the day. It felt like having another friend there, someone who genuinely wanted the best for us and our memories.

We’ve only had the highlights back so far and already I’m completely blown away. He somehow managed to catch every special moment, even ones we had completely forgotten about in the whirlwind of the day. Just from the preview, I know the full set is going to be absolutely magical.

100/10 – would recommend over and over again. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to book him, don’t even hesitate. He’s the kind of photographer who not only delivers stunning images, but genuinely adds to the experience of your wedding day.

Fantastic photographer!

We found Lewis on Hitched when looking for a photographer for our wedding. After getting in touch via his website, Lewis arranged a video call. Following our chat, Ashley and I knew it was an easy decision to have him photograph our wedding day! His communication was smooth right from the start and nothing was too much trouble. He is friendly, approachable and really knowledgeable. He blended in as a guest on our special day and nothing felt unnatural. After several dealings with rain showers, Lewis was able to stay professional and patient and was still able to get the perfect shots. Lewis was creative with his ideas and we felt we could place our trust in him. We can't recommend Lewis enough, 10/10. Imogen & Ashley

More than just photos✨️🫶

From the moment we first spoke with Lewis we knew we had found the right photographer, He didn't just capture the moments he perfectly captured the feeling of the day. Every single photograph tells a story, filled with laughter, and love. He was the absolute best to work with, making everyone feel completely at ease and so helpful. He was professional, patient, and had a way of being everywhere at once. He went above and beyond our expectations, and the slideshow we received is simply breathtaking. We can't stop looking at the photos and reliving the day.
​We are so incredibly grateful for his amazing talent and dedication. Choosing him as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. The guests made comments on how nice he was and how he just fitted in so well, He really has a gift for what he does and is also a genuinely lovely person. Thank you, Lewis for giving us these memories📷🥰

Lewis Bishop - the best in the business

We were so thrilled with the service we received from Lewis, from start to finish. Right from when we first booked, the communication was excellent, and Lewis offered us so much advice and guidance.

On the day, Lewis was fantastic! From scoping out the venue beforehand, to giving us lots of options and reminders of what we'd discussed before, and rallying the guests for group shots. Lewis was so friendly and so enthusiastic, but equally blended in like a friend! All our guests loved him too!

And then came the photos - just absolutely stunning! We knew we loved his style, but we couldn't imagine how much he would capture the emotions and magic of the whole day. It was such a nice surprise to have a sneak preview so quickly after the day too!
We can't recommend Lewis enough! Thank you so much, for everything!!
