About

Toast Photography is a Bedfordshire-based wedding photographer covering weddings across the UK, with a particular love for London and city weddings.

Run by photographer Mark Lewis, Toast is for couples who want brilliant wedding photos without spending half their day posing for them. The approach is fun, relaxed and mostly documentary, capturing the big moments, little moments and all the brilliant chaos in between.

Mark believes your wedding should feel like a wedding, not a photoshoot. He'll give you some direction when you need it and make time for brilliant portraits and group photos, but for most of the day you're free to forget about the camera and enjoy yourself with your favourite people.

Expect real moments, big laughs, happy tears, questionable dance moves and photographs that actually feel like you.

From intimate town hall ceremonies and London city weddings to big countryside parties, Toast Photography photographs weddings throughout Bedfordshire, London and across the UK.

Less posing. More partying.

Fantastic service

Mark was great at our wedding and has been supportive with our new videographer who was only just shooting her first wedding when doing ours! Mark was friendly and got shots that we wanted by the river. He coped well with the huge number of family photos we wanted, and has been accommodating since. It has nearly been a year since our wedding and we still have so many to share on our socials. We loved the gallery he created for us and our friends/family, they have been able to scroll and watch the slideshow ever since, as well as download and order photos when needed. Thank you, it was a dream to have you on our big day!

Amazing wedding photographer, highly recommended

Mark was the photographer at our wedding in November 2023. We absolutely love our wedding photos and we would highly recommend him.

We found him incredibly approachable, professional and creative. He offered a pre-wedding photoshoot which we felt was a fantastic idea. It gave us the opportunity to get to know him, understand what was expected from us/become more comfortable in front of a camera, and discuss in depth what we were looking for.

We had a small wedding of 33 people. Mark captured the perfect mix of posed and candid photos. He was very unobtrusive and most of the time we were unaware he was there taking photos.

We found Mark very accommodating with all our requests and very adaptable regarding environmental factors. He was more than happy to carry on in the rain (we have some fantastic wet weather photos) and composed some wonderful night photography shots.

We truly love the memories he captured for us of our special day and would highly recommend his services.

Relaxed and beautiful photos

Mark was fantastic! Everything from the pre-wedding shoot to the organisation to the big day. Cruicially he made us feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera which resulted in beautiful shots that capture how we felt. He listened to what we wanted to capture as well as providing his own ideas and we love the photos!
