Hey there, lovebirds! 📸❤️ I'm Luke, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer and all-around fun enthusiast! 🎉📷 based in Brackley, Northamptonshire and I shoot weddings throughout Oxfordshire, Warwickshire , Bedfordshire , Gloucestershire , Buckinghamshire , West Midlands , Berkshire and throughout the Cotswolds , but totally happy to travel further too! I love exploring new destinations and venues for weddings, its one of the perks of the job!
Picture this: A guy who can't resist a slice of wedding cake, has a dance move for every beat, and believes that laughter is the secret ingredient to perfect photos. That's me in a nutshell!
I'm all about making your wedding day a blast, filled with laughter, and brimming with love. I'm the guy who'll be there to capture your goofy grins, your heartfelt hugs, and even that epic dance-off between Uncle Bob and Aunt Carol. Every wedding is a unique love story, and I'm here to ensure that your story shines bright through my lens.
When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me geeking out over the latest camera gear, trying to recreate the perfect pizza at home, or convincing myself that I can dance like no one's watching (even though I know everyone's watching). 💃🕺 But no matter where I am, I'm always thinking about how to make your wedding photos as epic as the day itself.
So, if you're looking for a photographer who's more than just a camera-wielding ninja (though I've got the ninja moves down too), let's chat! Let's turn your special day into a fantastic adventure filled with beautiful memories and, of course, stunning photos. Let's make some magic together! ✨💍📸

Best in the Business
Without a shadow of a doubt Luke was our best wedding investment. A view shared not only by my Husband and I but also our whole wedding party.
He made each and every person in the room feel seen, in a way in which they felt comfortable with. He is kind, funny and BEYOND talented.
We adore our wedding photos that have beautifully captured so much magic. There is joy bursting out of each picture, and Luke has wonderfully showcased people’s personalities in such a special way.
Luke doubled up not only as our wedding photographer but also as a coordinator on the day, providing crucial advice and support. He really does go above and beyond and we cannot thank him enough.
Leading up to our wedding Luke was approachable, responsive and always calm. The day before we got married my grandad was taken unwell and sadly could only attend our ceremony. I rang Luke a little panicked asking him to prioritise family photos. He listened and delivered the most STUNNING shots. Allowing me precious time with my grandad and beautifully/respectfully capturing it all. I will treasure his photos forever.
Luke you are brilliant beyond words and we could not shout about you enough. Thank you!!! X

What a photographer!
Luke was absolutely incredible and played such a huge part in making our wedding day so special. From the moment he arrived, he fit in so naturally with our guests and felt like part of the wedding rather than just someone working behind the scenes.
He was such an amazing guy, friendly, professional, and had us laughing throughout the day, which made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Neither of us are naturally comfortable having photos taken, but he made the whole experience feel effortless and fun.
Most importantly, the photos were absolutely to die for. He captured every special moment so beautifully, and we’re beyond grateful to have such stunning memories to look back on.
We couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Mr & Mrs Ball 2025
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very first moment, Luke made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, which meant everything to us on such an important day.
We loved our Engagment shoot which allowed us to get to know Luke before the big day. It never felt awkward or forced—just natural, fun, and full of joy.
More than just capturing beautiful photos, Luke truly became part of our day, blending in seamlessly and sharing in the laughter, happy tears, and special moments.
The photos and video reflect exactly how the day felt, and we’ll treasure them forever. Our experience was made even better by having a sneak peak of photos sent to us the day off our wedding! We are so grateful and couldn’t recommend Luke enough.
We are so glad you were apart of our day.

Absolutely outstanding wedding photographer!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we met, Luke made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, they blended seamlessly into the celebrations, capturing every candid moment, every emotion, and every beautiful detail without ever feeling intrusive.
The photos are simply breathtaking. Each image feels natural, authentic, and full of life. Luke managed to preserve the atmosphere of the day perfectly, giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.
Professional, friendly, creative, and incredibly talented, and if you’re looking for a wedding photographer who genuinely cares about their craft, look no further. We would recommend Luke to anyone in a heartbeat!
Thank you so much, Luke! You are simply incredible!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer!
We loved Luke's style as soon as we found his work, and we decided to book his hybrid photography and videography package for our wedding last Saturday.
We had our pre-shoot in June 2024, which was such a good inclusion as it helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. Plus, we came away with some stunning shots that we used as part of our wedding website and table plan.
On the wedding day itself, Luke was amazing, not just at taking photos/videos, but he was so helpful too - he gave us some great advice throughout the day, passed us tissues when we needed them during the ceremony, and even buttoned up my dress for me when my bridal party was struggling! Luke was with us from getting ready until golden hour, and he got on really well with both us and our guests. The group photos were done very efficiently and for the rest of the day, our guests hardly noticed he was there.
We were so happy to receive our sneak preview photos while we were still eating our wedding breakfast, and they are absolutely incredible - we can't wait to receive our full album and video! Thank you so, so much for capturing and being a part of our special day!

The perfect memories of the perfect day!
We’ve just gone through all the photos from the wedding and all we can say is that they are stunning. You’ve absolutely captured the magic of the best day of our lives and we are so incredibly grateful to have these to keep forever. You smashed it, from the pre wedding shoot to the first dance everything you captured was exactly what we hoped for. Thanks for being brilliant!
All the best

The best photographer in the business
Oh my goodness I don’t even know where to start! We were so so happy with Luke from start to finish.
We knew instantly that Luke was the photographer for us during our initial call. He was so friendly and helpful from the get go.
He also helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which are not!). We’re both quite camera shy and a little awkward and the thought of our photos being taken was terrifying us a little bit. We loved the fact that the pre wedding shoot was included in the cost as this gave us an opportunity to get to know Luke better in person and get comfortable with him taking our photos and how he works ahead of the wedding. So when he arrived on the morning of the wedding, it was just like having another friend with us.
Luke was fantastic during the wedding day. All of our wedding guests absolutely loved him as he just fit in perfectly. It honestly didn’t feel like he was our photographer, but rather like having an additional guest.
Luke also makes sure that you have a little sneak peek of your photos waiting for you in your inbox at the end of the night which was such a nice tough! The photos that we’ve had back already are amazing and I cannot wait to get the rest! I can’t stop looking at them.
I cannot recommend Luke enough.
Thank you so so much Luke!

Could not recommend more!
Luke is incredible. The day of our wedding was the second time we had met him, the first time being our engagement photos… but he made us feel like we had known him a life time. He made us feel so comfortable to be around and it just seemed like we had one of our really good friends photographing us. He understood everything that we wanted and went above and beyond..we even had sneak peaks to look at by the end of the wedding day. All of our friends and family commented on how lovely, adaptable and genuine he was and how he could just fit into the crowd/audience. Our wedding day was a perfect day to us and Luke had a big part to play in the smooth running of it, but still capturing all the unforgettable memories perfectly. We can’t thank-you enough Luke and we will recommend you to anyone and everyone!

An Exceptional Wedding Photographer
We booked Luke as our wedding photographer, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Initially, we were both a bit nervous about having our photos taken, but Luke immediately put us at ease. The pre-wedding shoot was incredibly helpful, allowing us to get to know Luke and become comfortable in front of the camera.
Luke is exceptionally talented, and the photos he provided are absolutely stunning—we are over the moon with them! On the day of the wedding, Luke was like another bridesmaid, even helping with the tricky buttons on the sleeves of my dress. Nothing was too much for him, and his dedication and support made our day even more memorable.
Thank you, Luke, for capturing our wedding so beautifully!

Carter & Emmie (24.03.2025)
We honestly can’t say thank you enough to Luke Hardy for being such a huge part of our wedding day and capturing it so perfectly.
From the moment we came across Luke’s work, we fell in love with his candid photography style. His photos feel so natural and full of emotion—exactly what we were looking for. His package was also one of the best we came across, and we really appreciated the free engagement shoot included—it helped break the nerves and gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera.
Luke was friendly, supportive, and put us at ease straight away. We got married at Dodford Manor Barn, where Luke had shot many weddings before, and it made such a difference. He knew all the best spots and helped the day run so smoothly.
As a bride who struggles with anxiety, I found the morning of the wedding quite tough. Luke was absolutely amazing—he made sure I was okay, talked everything through with me, and took care of me completely. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more reassuring presence.
All our guests commented on how lovely Luke was and how comfortable he made everyone feel. A few even said they barely noticed he was there—which, for a candid style photographer, is the dream!
We’ve had so many compliments about Luke’s photos and we truly love every single one. Thank you again, Luke—you captured our day better than we ever could’ve imagined.
With love,

The Perfect Wedding Photographer!
We knew we wanted Luke to capture our wedding as soon as we saw his stunning photos! From the first contact we had with him, to the pre-wedding shoot, from helping in every way possible on the day, to photographing in a professional, relaxing and unobtrusive way. We cannot recommend him enough. If you are reading this, just book Luke now!
