5 stars doest seem enough

We are SO happy we chose LUX for our Wedding Day. Courtney and Richard were amazing to work with. They helped make our day run SO smoothly and kept us on schedule. We felt so comfortable with them during our photo session and they kept us laughing the whole time. We got our sneak peeks the day after our big day and they came out BEAUTIFUL! They perfectly captured our joy and the beautiful autumn foliage. They ensured that they got every shot that we asked for and even captured so many details that I didn't even think to mention! We have received so many compliments on how great they were during the day, and endless comments on how beautiful the pictures are. To say I am obsessed is an understatement. We cannot thank Courtney and Richard enough for making our day so special and for capturing these beautiful memories

Mike and Natalie

10/10 recommend. Courtney & Richard were excellent. They arrived early, kept the day light and fun, and even went above and beyond to help us get our dog in some of our photos. We would have been lost during planning without Richard as a sounding board to recommend an amazing DJ, florist, cake maker and make timeline suggestions.

OMG they're just wonderful

LUX Wedding Photography are amazing! From beginning to end the service was fantastic. Courtney was highly responsive to emails and open to ideas and my visions for our wedding day photos. Courtney made it extremely easy the day of and she took initiative to be sure we were on time all day and that everything flowed. She was more than just our photographer! We are so happy with all of our photos, and they were available for viewing much faster than others from what I have heard from other brides! Richard and Ashleigh were a great addition to the team, and their work was appreciated throughout the day. They all truly know what they are doing and are very passionate about it as well. We highly recommend LUX Wedding Photography especially Courtney and her team!

Amazing Photographer

Richard is one of those photographers who is there on the day, but almost invisible. Never in the way, but always in the right place to get that perfect shot. From the moment we got in contact with him, we knew he would be amazing, just from some of the questions he asked, and the suggestions he made. By the time of our wedding day he felt more like a friend. The end result was not only delivered amazingly up to a very high standard but also very quickly. Richard and Courtney captured the pure love and fun of the occasion. I can not thank them enough! Especially the special moments which they captured perfectly.
We would have no hesitation at all in recommending him.

Courtney was amazing

Courtney did my wedding photos in November 2023 and did an INCREDIBLE job! My bridesmaids still bring up how much they loved my wedding photographer, Courtney, because she was quick, told you exactly what she wanted/needed, “got sh*t done,” and still let us have so much fun. All while documenting beautifully. The combination of posed and candid photos I got in my photo package was perfect. I seriously could not be happier that I chose LUX Wedding Photography to capture my wedding day.

amazing service

We booked LUX to do our wedding photography and video and we could not be happier. great communication before the day and so supportive on the day, we didn't feel pushed or pressure to take photos they seemed to just know when we were ready so the day just flowed perfectly. Were still coming down of the amazing day we had and getting the photos was the perfect way to relive it. If you're looking for super supportive photographers who take amazing photos then these are the guys to book.

simply an amazing service

If I could give LUX Wedding Photography more than 5 stars, I would! WOW! Richard and Courtney were phenomenal, they captured every moment and didn't miss a beat! They had fun, shared laughs, and were a huge part of our special day! They interacted with our bridal party and guests throughout the whole night. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a photographer! Our day could not have gone more perfect, and we couldn't have done it without the help of Richard and Courtney. They were professional, helpful and eased any and all stress we had. If you're looking for fun, entertaining, amazing photographers, look no further and hire LUX!!!

couldn't be happier

They were great support before the wedding, especially with the test photo shoot as we were both nervous and they helped put us at ease. they fitted in perfectly at our wedding being supportive, guiding us to the different photos needed yet blended in to the background so they didn't take over the day with photos. We were surprised to get 20 photos on the day which helped bridge the gap until we received the full album 3 weeks later. Honestly we couldn't be happier can highly recommend them

Simply the best!

We had the most fantastic wedding day and memories of a lifetime thanks to Richard. Looking back on photos we relive the day all over again, he was super friendly, nothing was any trouble and he stayed for around 9 hours throughout our day. We had a good laugh mainly as we were pulling faces and being daft as we didn’t want all photos to be serious as that’s just not us. Thank you so much for being a massive part of our day, the album we received in a USB gift box has a beautiful presentation with box and USB engraved too which is a lovely touch. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to book a wedding photographer, Thankyou again Andrew & Leigh

Thank you so much

From the start you were wonderful in listening to my ideas and making sure we sorted times and poses ahead of time. This meant that the day went so smoothly.

My husband and I don't usually like posing for photos, but you made us feel like the centre of attention and all my stage fright went away. We both had so much fun exploring the venue and taking some amazing photos. The teamwork was great, you barely had to speak to each other to know what shots you wanted to get. I keep reliving the day as I look through the photos and I'm sure I will for years to come. Thank you again.
