What Makes My Wedding Photography Unique?

Every wedding tells a unique story, and my approach to editorial wedding photography is all about capturing that story in an artistic yet natural way. My photography style blends:

Cinematic storytelling

Inspired by my background in wedding filmmaking, I frame each shot with composition and lighting in mind to create timeless, artistic images.

Natural and authentic moments

I focus on genuine emotions and real interactions, delivering a style that embodies natural wedding photography and authentic moments that capture to true feelings of your day.

Fine art elegance

Every photograph is carefully composed, edited with a soft yet sophisticated touch, and designed to stand the test of time. My editorial style means I offer creative direction to achieve truly incredible photographs of you both enjoying your wedding day experience together.

I work discreetly, making you feel comfortable in front of the camera while capturing every important detail seamlessly. I hold by relationship and rapport with you in high regard- my aim is always to feel more ike a friend to you than to be just your photographer.

It really is over and above what we expected and we feel so much love being able to share Luke's work with our nearest people

Thank you for making it possible to relive the love from our day, over and over again.”

My Passion for Wedding Photography

There’s something truly special about photographing weddings. Every moment—whether it’s the quiet anticipation before the ceremony, the raw emotions during the vows, or the energy of the evening celebration—tells a story worth preserving. I love the challenge of capturing a wedding day as it naturally unfolds, creating images that will transport you back to those feelings for years to come.

I have had countless friends and family say that ours is the best wedding video and that they’ve never seen anything like it.”
