“When we received our video from Luke, I sobbed like a baby. It was romantic, magical and overall just pure love. We feel so honoured to have Luke at our wedding and would recommend him at any chance we get.

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.”
