About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: September 2026

LVRS Photography & Videography is an award-winning London wedding photography studio led by documentary photographer Luke Santilli.

Our approach is documentary-first, capturing real moments naturally and unobtrusively, combined with relaxed editorial portraits when appropriate. The aim is simple: beautiful photographs that tell the story of your wedding without turning the day into a photoshoot.

Luke has more than a decade of professional experience and holds both a BA (Hons) and MA in Documentary Photography from the University of South Wales, where he studied on the documentary photography programme established by Magnum photographer David Hurn.

Alongside photography, LVRS offers hybrid cinematic highlight films, allowing couples to add film coverage without needing a separate full videography team.

Photography coverage is available from intimate London weddings through to full and extended wedding days, with second photographers, wedding books, drone coverage and bespoke documentary-film options also available.

A complimentary pre-wedding shoot in London is available with our wedding packages.

Photography packages from £1,000.

Hybrid packages from £1450.

Associate photographer coverage also available from £600.

A dream to work with!

We feel so lucky to have had Luke and Sam as our wedding photographers. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely comfortable and at ease meaning we could just enjoy the day while they worked their magic behind the lens.

We were really impressed by how many other vendors on the day praised their professionalism and thoughtful approach. They are not only talented but also a joy to collaborate with, which made the whole day run so smoothly.

LVRS packages are packed with value as they offer so much without compromising on quality. Every penny was worth it. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture the most magical, emotional moments perfectly. We’ll treasure them forever.

If you’re looking for someone who’s warm, professional, and incredibly skilled, we couldn’t recommend LVRS more highly!

Incredible Photographer!

Luke did such an amazing job of our wedding photography. His style is warm and natural, and he had such an amazing eye for a beautiful place for a photo. He was a joy to have around on the wedding day, blending in to the background as needed and making people feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. His photos speak for themselves! We are so glad we went with Luke and will cherish the photos forever!

Phenomenal photographer - a million stars

I cannot recommend Luke Santilli highly enough. Not only is he a phenomenally skilled photographer (and my god HE IS), he is also an enchanting human being, and one of the nicest people you could ever hope to be in a room with, let alone have at your wedding. He was instrumental in making the day run without a hitch, and managed, single handedly, to tame difficult personalities, reassure the more anxious among us, and coax even the most camera shy of guests into having their photographs taken. I consider myself incredibly lucky that he was available and that he agreed to shoot our wedding. The day would not have been anywhere near as enjoyable with anyone else, and we will treasure his amazing photographs for years and years to come.

Outstanding

Outstanding work from Luke! We are beside ourselves with the pictures! I booked a photoshoot for a surprised proposal, had several exchanges with Luke via Hitched and text, and several phone calls to discuss the details and make sure everything will go smoothly.
Communication with Luke was always good and efficient, he answered all my questions and was always available when needed.
He was there in advance the day of the proposal and was set at the perfect place to capture it all while still keeping the moment private. We then went for a wander and took several pictures following his advices and recommendations. We were very happy to have his guidance as we had never done a photoshoot as a couple before that. Luke took his time and was very patient with us, we didn't feel rushed at all. He showed us a quick snippet of the pictures on his camera screen and we were very excited to see the final results as they looked amazing. Less than 48 hours later we received the link to the gallery and the pictures are even better than what we expected! We are so pleased to have such beautiful pictures to remember this special moment.
We are definitely planning on booking Luke for our wedding as we know we won't regret it!

Excellent Wedding Photography Service!

We had the pleasure of having LVRS Photography cover our Walima ceremony, and they were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail truly stood out. They captured every special moment beautifully and managed to preserve the emotions, elegance, and joy of the day perfectly.

The team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and were incredibly patient, organised, and easy to work with throughout the event. The final photos exceeded all expectation - stunning quality, beautifully edited, and full of life and emotion.

Highly recommend LVRS Photography to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photography team for their wedding events!

If you’re seeing this, pick Luke!

Luke was absolutely amazing from initial conversation to when we received the photos.

We found Luke on Hitched and sent him a message, he got in touch pretty much immediately and discussed our requirements and from that first conversation we felt in good hands. He took us to the venue a few weeks before to do a pre photo shoot, and took on board all of our requests for specific photos we wanted.

Weddings are so stressful to plan and Luke took this off our plate, he handled everything so perfectly on the day and lots of our guest really got on with him.

Our photos are beyond what we could of imagined. Honestly perfect, and something that will help us remember such a perfect day.

I have attached a couple of my favourites which were hard to choose because I love them all!

Thank you Luke!

Luke is amazing

I have had a couple of conversations with Luke ahead of proposing to my girlfriend and he has been so amazing already, and has provided detailed care and attention to anything I have asked. He has been so helpful, reasonable and accomodating and I am very thankful! Thanks Luke :)

Captured Our Day Perfectly - Couldn’t Have Asked for More!

Luke was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He instantly put us at ease on the day and managed to capture every special moment so naturally - nothing ever felt forced or awkward. Luke went above and beyond to ensure we were fully prepared for the day. The photos and video are stunning; they really tell the story of our wedding and bring back all the emotions every time we look at them.

Communication was brilliant throughout, and the turnaround time was so quick. Luke’s professionalism, creativity, and calm energy made such a difference - especially when everything else felt a bit chaotic!

We couldn’t recommend LVRS Photography enough. Thank you so much, Luke!

Best photographer to capture a timeless event

We had the absolute pleasure of having Luke as our wedding photographer at The City Pavilion in Romford, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From the very beginning, Luke was professional, calm, and completely in tune with the rhythm of the day. He arrived on time, fully prepared, and brought such a positive, reassuring energy with him. What really stood out was his photographer’s eye—he captured the big, emotional moments just as beautifully as the quiet, candid ones we didn’t even realise were happening. Every photo tells a story, and Luke told ours perfectly.

He took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted, and was never intrusive or rushed. When the schedule changed (as weddings always do!), he adapted seamlessly and made sure that nothing was missed. His ability to pivot while still keeping everything calm and under control was incredibly impressive.

Thanks to Luke, we now have a stunning set of photos that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. The lighting, composition, and emotion in each shot is just spot on.

If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely invested in making your day special—Luke is the one. We can’t thank him enough for being such an important part of our wedding at The City Pavilion.

Thank you again, Luke—you truly went above and beyond!

Captured the special moments of the day perfectly

We could not have been happier with Luke’s work. He has an eye for capturing special moments, some of which we weren’t aware happened. He isn’t at all intrusive during the events and the quality of his presentation is outstanding.
