Documentary wedding photography & film · The Cotswolds, Wiltshire & the West Country The best moments can’t be planned. They can only be noticed.
All in, from day one
Modern documentary wedding photography, from someone fully invested in your people and your story.
I’m Lewis. I read the room, notice the details, and let your day unfold the way it’s meant to. No performative posing. No theatrics. Just honest, considered images of the moments that matter most.
Named Wales Wedding Photographer of the Year at The Wedding Industry Awards in 2025, and again in 2026.

The best moments can’t be planned. They can only be noticed.
Present, professional and paying attention, from the first conversation on.
Never the centre of attention. Never missing, either.
Candid and considered. Your family treated with kindness, your friends like they’re mine.
I read the room, keep to the timeline and know where to stand.
Your day isn’t a photoshoot. I won’t direct it. I’ll document it, with care.
Quick replies, clear answers, nothing overcomplicated.
Honesty, distilled. The truth in a single frame.

Why couples choose me
Present. Professional. Emotionally attuned.
Emotion-led
The truth, in a single frame.
I tune in to what’s happening and photograph it as it unfolds. Your dad’s face during the speech. Your gran’s hand on your arm.
A calm presence
Where I need to be, when I need to be.
I arrive early, watch the light and the timings, and handle the logistics quietly in the background.
Straightforward support
Quick replies. Clear answers.
No chasing, no guessing, no waffle. You’ll know what’s happening at every step.

Calm, curious, and completely invested.
With over a decade of weddings behind me, I treat your day with care, your family with kindness, and your friends like they’re mine too. I’m not for everyone, and that’s a good thing.

In their words

Venues I know well
Country houses, castles and quiet estates.

Your day
What kind of day are you planning?
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Where are you based, and do you travel?
I’m based in Wiltshire. Most of my weddings are across the Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Bath, as well as the Wye Valley, South Wales and London. Travel is included for most of the UK. For Scotland or weddings abroad, I’ll outline any accommodation or flights up front.
Do you photograph smaller or midweek weddings?
Yes. Shorter coverage runs Sunday to Friday for elopements, register office ceremonies and smaller celebrations, starting at six hours, and Saturdays open up within five months of the date if still free. See elopements and smaller weddings.
Which venues do you photograph at?
Mostly country houses, estates and barns across the Cotswolds, Monmouthshire and South Wales, including Elmore Court, Grittleton House, Llantilio House, Sant Ffraed House, St Tewdrics House and Hensol Castle. I’m always happy to photograph somewhere new, too.
Are you an award-winning wedding photographer?
Yes. I was named Wales Wedding Photographer of the Year at The Wedding Industry Awards in 2025, and again in 2026.
How many photos will we receive?
You’ll receive at least 500 individually edited images, though most galleries land between 600 and 800.
How soon will we see our photos?
You’ll get a few previews on the day itself. Your full gallery arrives within four weeks, and hybrid films follow within eight.
Will you direct us all day?
No. I’ll guide you briefly for couple portraits and family groups, then step back and document the rest of the day as it happens.
How do we book?
Check your date, then we’ll have a relaxed video call. A £300 booking fee and a simple online contract secure your date.
