Relaxed, natural wedding photography, captured as it truly felt.


I’m Lewis, a wedding photographer based in Derby.


With over a decade behind the camera, my approach is simple: unobtrusive, considered, and focused on the moments that matter. No awkward posing, no over-direction. Just honest storytelling, captured as your day naturally unfolds.

Natural, Relaxed Wedding Photography Across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire & Beyond

My style is natural, documentary-led, and all about telling the real story of your day; the laughter, happy tears, quiet moments, and everything in between.


Whether you’re getting married in Derby, the Peak District, Nottingham, or anywhere else across the Midlands, I focus on honest storytelling and portraits that feel effortless. No forced smiles. No awkward staging. Just genuine emotion and beautifully composed images.


From the beautiful Peak District to Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and beyond, I love working with couples who want relaxed, candid wedding photos with no awkward posing. Just real moments, stunning portraits, and the details that make your day unique. If you value authenticity and want your gallery to feel like your day and not someone else’s Pinterest board, you’re in the right place!
