    Everything we dreamt of and more !

    We first met Lu at the open day in OhmeOhmy and I was immediately in love with his style of photography. Being together nearly 14 years we always spoke about how we envisioned our wedding day, and that we wanted it to be laid back, fun, and a day filled with love and laughter with our nearest and dearest. We didn’t want to spend hours posing for photos and our guests pulled from pillar to post to stand feeling awkward for photos. Luis was like a ninja! We hardly knew he was there taking the shots! The photos he’s captured are candid, in the moment and show how much of a good time we all had. He worked so hard during the day to make sure he got everything but we literally felt like he was part of the wedding party he just slotted right in! He didn’t even get a huff on when a massive seagull pooed on my dad’s head and he ended up with a bit of back splash. He had a spare top in his bag ( obviously not his first rodeo!) I didn’t think you could ‘bond’ with your wedding photographer but from the initial contact I knew he was going to be a dream to have on our big day and he was consistent in keeping us up to date, even just a little check in leading up to the day.
    Lu, you have captured photographs that will live on for years to come, our grandkids grandkids could be looking at them one day and I just think that is magical. You have truly found your calling and your love for photography and what you do just shines through.
    You are an absolute gentleman and we are so glad we picked you.

    A creative visionary and the loveliest human being too!

    Having nothing but joy and thanks for Luis when it comes to his abundance of talent and warmth as both a photographer and human. Having got our full collection of photos back both Dafydd and I are SO incredibly happy and grateful. Luis ability to see and capture all the moments that many would miss is testament to his creative eye and vision. One that has made his photography and our wedding what it is. Unique, editorial and so very us. Thank you Luis, you have become a friend for life and one who I'm looking forward to creating lots more photographic magic with. If you're looking for a photographer with a difference, look no further than Luis. Booking him was one of the best decisions we made and can't recommend him more.

    The absolute best in every way.

    When we were choosing our wedding photographer we knew we wanted art. I saw Luis’ work on insta and to be perfectly honest, we had already decided we wanted to book him before we even met Luis or talked pricing (totally reasonable for the amazing service you’re paying for btw.) His photos are the art we wanted for our day.

    But the thing with Luis that sets him apart from every other photographer is that he is so personable and so warm that you opt for him as your wedding photographer due to his style talent, you actually get a cheerleader, a bff for the day, an additional support in planning, an additional guest to make memories with and a consummate professional. He’s the complete package.

    I’m so happy we chose you, Lu, you met and exceeded our every expectation and have done an incredible job capturing our gorgeous day. He blends in when he needs to, but directs really clearly when he needs to and has an amazing talent of being in just the right place for every key moment.

    Of course, we have our memories from the day but in addition we have Luis’ incredible photos, and that is magic.

    Couldn't have asked for more

    Luis was incredibly engaged from day one of booking him for our wedding - he is a downright lovely person and a wonderful photographer. We have been so glad to have Lu capture our day - he blended in so well and all of the photos are perfect. We wouldn't hesitate before booking him again for any future events.

    Simply The Best!

    Firstly, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, from both of us, thank you so much for sharing our special day and being absolutely amazing in every way!!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one you’ve just been the coolest guy ever and made us feel incredible.

    We set ourselves up last week and sat down to watch the slideshow with some bubbles and tissues and I reckon it must have been about 20 seconds before Liam was in tears!! Closely followed by me haha! And that’s exactly how we both stayed for about 3 hours on Tuesday evening going through everything haha!

    The slideshow was amazing, so atmospheric and moving. The music really captured the feeling of each part of the day and carried you along. I got properly choked up at the speeches, you could just tell exactly what was being said without the need for words. We were crying, then laughing, then crying the whole way through!

    We’re in love with the way you’ve captured every little emotion throughout the whole day, it’s all just so real and the love shines through. We’re absolutely over the moon with everything and have been showing off the images to friends and family this week!

    The slideshow has had everyone in tears haha!!

    We’ve now got the absolutely impossible job of picking which images we want to print!!

    Once again, thank you so so much for everything! We’ve got some incredible images to cherish for the rest of our lives and will be forever grateful.

    Can’t wait to catch up soon!

    Lots of Love

    Becca & Liam!
    Xxx ❤

    Captured every moment of joy!

    Luis blew us away with the pictures! We aren't into super sincere, posed shots and we came away with some of the best pictures of us we'll ever have in our life. The best part was how Luis captured the candid moments of joy, laughter, crying and silliness of our day. Couldn't recommend him more!

    Perfect, so wonderful and beautiful photos

    Where to even begin with Lu?! He was the best wedding photographer ever. From initial meeting to the aftermath of the Big Day, he was wonderful. He made us feel so comfortable and the moments we managed to capture together were incredible. When we watched our photo slideshow it was like reliving the day itself. I’m pretty sure Lu has an invisibility cloak or something because I barely noticed him all day (no offence, Lu!) and yet anytime I thought ‘maybe we should take a photo’ he was THERE. No moment was missed and we got our wedding photos so much quicker than other couples we’ve spoken to. Book Lu for your Big Day - you won’t regret it x

    Best of the best

    Luis really is the best of the best! When we received our photos we couldn’t of asked for anything better. He captured our special moments so beautifully and we have photos documenting every single part of the day. He was such a pleasure to work with from us booking our first wedding in May 2020 to the day of our actual wedding in June 2022, he was so accommodating and understanding with us having to postpone the wedding due to the pandemic.
    He blended in with our guests with his relaxed and friendly approach. We really couldn’t recommend him enough.
    Thank you so much Lu x

    THE best photographer

    We are so in love with our photos!! 😍 Lu really captured our day beautifully. Our album was completely perfect! We felt like we relived the day all over again looking through it.

    We were in awe of how Lu managed to capture so many moments!

    We loved having him there with us on our big day and how at ease we felt with him. Others mentioned how he didn't make anybody feel awkward or staged either but instead was dancing away with everyone while he did his thing!

    We couldn't recommend Luis more highly! Book him!! He'll capture those memories so beautifully for yoy to look back on for the rest of your lives together 🤍

Thank you again so much for inviting meinto your lives for your journey - hope you're all doing great and have an amazing Christmas and new years!!

    Big Love, Lu and the fam xxx
