If I could give 10 stars I would! We are so happy to have found Luke to capture our wedding. From the initial consultation to the end of our day, he was super easy to communicate with, so chill and worked with us to have photos that were exactly what we wanted. He was never too pushy and let us enjoy our day whilst still taking incredible photos that our friends and family have said look like they could be in Vogue. He somehow managed to snap everyone at our wedding and capture the day beautifully whilst also blending into the background. He is the a true gem and we’d recommend him in a heartbeat!

Luke is the best! The goat of wedding photography especially amazing candid shots. He made me and my wife feel very comfortable and was very patient to get the perfect shots. He was kind helpful and easy to talk to and by the end of our wedding a friend!

If you find Luke and are considering hiring him, please rest assured you will not be disappointed, he is amazing and we both love his work and him! Ps the photos turned out amazing! See for yourself!

We couldn’t be any happier that we were able to have Luke as our photographer for our wedding. Our close friends had Luke as their wedding photographer and the pictures were so beautiful! The style was so much more up our street compared to the more posed / staged photographs that you see from other photographers – although with that said, we still got all the important family and bridal party shots that we needed.

Luke is honestly incredible. Super communicative and also patient in the lead up when work meant that I wasn’t the most responsive at times. I felt completely at ease going into the day, and that’s saying a lot as my partner and I hate having our photo taken. Luke made us feel completely comfortable and at ease and we really enjoyed his company and presence on the day. There was no stress whatsoever in getting the group shots and also when we snuck off to get some picture

We received our preview 3 days after the wedding which is just insane, and we couldn’t stop looking at the photos for at least two hours – they’re just unreal! We cannot wait to get the full lot back and put them everywhere in the house. We shared around the preview with our friends and family and all of them have said how much better they are than other wedding photography they’ve seen.

Luke is a MUST HAVE for your wedding day or special occasion – cannot recommend him enough!

Luke is the best wedding photographer you could hope for. Professional, proactive, kind, friendly and the perfect balance of executing each individual vision whilst providing his creative guidance, we’ve only had the previews so far and can’t stop gushing over his work. It really does look like something from Vogue magazine. Feeling very lucky!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding in September 2019! Luke is such a lovely guy, and made both of us feel completely relaxed (which is great as my husband doesn’t really like having his photo taken). We barely noticed he was there for most of the day, slinking around like a ghost, which allowed him to capture some truly incredible moments.

Even the guests who managed to have a quick chat with him commented on how great we was. The photos we received back from Luke are breathtaking and captured our personalities and our day so beautifully. 100/10 would recommend!”

Luke was brilliant from the start. His photography is more beautiful than I can put onto words, from his candid approach, creative angles and focus and how he used the light all the way to how he presented the photos to us in a wonderful slideshow and a beautiful wooden box.

He was a pleasure to have as out photographer, a joy to be around and he seamlessly captured out day without us even noticing him and with so much style. I cannot tell you how much I am in love with the photos from our day!

Luke was our photographer for wedding in June this year – we’ve recently had our pictures back and are absolutely thrilled. I remember finding Luke online before we booked him and instantly falling in love with his stuff- I just knew I wanted him capturing our day.

Luke was the consummate professional leading up to our big day, and on the day itself! We have so many great photos from him that we’ll treasure for a lifetime – we’re thinking about which ones to choose for “The Wedding Wall” that we’re constructing – but choosing is proving tough given how many amazing photos he captured!

Don’t be surprised if you come away from your experience with Luke just wanting to have him as your mate… he’s just super chilled, super talented, and well, super nice!! What more could one ask of their wedding photographer!

Luke was our wedding photographer in August 2019. I’ve been following Luke for a while on Instagram and was always impressed. When the time finally came to look for my own wedding photographer I had no one else in mind. His eye captures not only the great moments you want remembered, but in a style that I like to call “frame worthy”. He has such a cool, fresh look to his photos and not just with the post edit, but with his style and composition.

I work in the media industry and studied photography so I know what makes a good photo and a good photographer. I also used to shoot weddings as a second shooter. Luke integrates with your friends and family brilliantly and everyone found him super friendly with no issues. Half the time I didn’t notice him there and when you look at all the great shots he got, your amazed by how much he captured. I could not recommend Luke enough. You won’t be disappointed!

Luke was absolutely fantastic throughout the process. In the planning stage he was helpful, accommodating and easy to get hold of. We met online and in person before hand and built a good rapport, he took the time to get to know us.

On the day Luke felt more of a guest than a photographer, gently guiding us and allowing us to enjoy the day. Everyone loved him. The photos captures the mood and atmosphere of the day perfectly and the quality is superb. The presentation of the photos is first class.

Luke couldn’t have been better. He captured the day and all the small and large moments that allow us to look back at all the details and hidden gems that we may have forgotten. He went above and beyond both before and during the ceremony.

We live in California so he arranged a Skype chat before so we could meet’ before the wedding. He blended in which meant he could catch intimate moments. He put us at ease with our portraits and had some good tricks to get natural reactions. So worth it!
