How We Work

We’re fully transparent with you from start to finish, with unlimited consultations whenever you need them. Ask anything, any time. Weddings are a once in a lifetime moment, and your photography and videography should feel perfect.
In keeping with our documentary background, we work discreetly. Your wedding is for you, not a photoshoot. We always work with a couple first approach.
We have extensive experience in the wedding industry, but our background goes far beyond it. We’ve worked in press, branding, advertising, and fashion, and we bring that wider creative experience into the way we tell your story. This isn’t a side job for us. It’s our full time craft, and we care deeply about the work and your wedding.

Our Process

Every couple receives a complimentary pre wedding shoot as standard. It’s one of the best ways to set you up for a relaxed, natural wedding day. It breaks the ice, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and lets us learn what feels most like you.
If you’re someone who “doesn’t like having your photo taken”, don’t worry. That’s exactly what it’s for. By the end, most couples feel far more confident, and it really shows on the wedding day.
If we haven’t been able to arrange a venue visit before the wedding, we’ll arrive well ahead of time on the day to scout locations and plan our angles. This doesn’t affect the hours you’ve booked us for. It’s simply part of how we work.
Knowing the layout, the best horizon lines, and the direction of the light makes a huge difference to how your photos and film come out.
We aim to deliver your photographs within two weeks of the wedding. It isn’t rushed. We’re simply experienced, efficient, and consistent in our workflow. Your images will be delivered via a secure online gallery, where you, your family, and friends can view and download them with ease.
If you’d like physical products such as albums, books, wall art, or prints, we can arrange those for you. There’s absolutely no rush to decide.
Video takes a little longer. Final delivery is typically a minimum of one month, as the edit is more involved. We’ll stay in touch throughout the process to make sure the finished film feels exactly right.

Here are some of our Pre-Wedding photos

“A dream to work with!”

“We feel so lucky to have had Luke and Sam as our wedding photographers. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely comfortable and at ease meaning we could just enjoy the day while they worked their magic behind the lens.

We were really impressed by how many other vendors on the day praised their professionalism and thoughtful approach. They are not only talented but also a joy to collaborate with, which made the whole day run so smoothly.

LVRS packages are packed with value as they offer so much without compromising on quality. Every penny was worth it. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture the most magical, emotional moments perfectly. We’ll treasure them forever.

If you’re looking for someone who’s warm, professional, and incredibly skilled, we couldn’t recommend LVRS more highly!”

Inago O - We couldn't be happier with our experience!

Luke is an absolute professional, he loves what he does and his passion shone through on the day. He saw all the fine details we didn't see and made sure to capture them, from emotions to amazing scenery. He even got his clothes dirty in the wet grass in the pursuit of the perfect shots.

Beyond his work, Luke is such a great person and it was such a pleasure having him at the wedding, he blended in to the day and felt more like a guest than a photographer.

We also received the images much quicker than expected in a gallery that we can easily share with our friends and family.

We absolutely love the images and we feel so lucky we had Luke as our photographer as we were thinking about a cheap option as we didn't realise how important the images would be to help us remember the day more fondly.
Sanji & Iona

Excellent service, a brilliant photographer. Easy going. Luke was exactly what you would want from a photographer. He was so easy to liaise with and he completely got the vision we wanted from the evening. Luke was very relaxed and wouldn’t even know he was there. He captured every moment. Sent us the completed gallery within a couple of weeks of the ceremony. So grateful we found Luke.

Would 100% Recommend!
Az & Esther

A wedding is one of the most precious days in a couple’s lives and every moment of ours was expertly captured by Luke. The day itself went by so quickly so it meant everything to us to be able to look back and be reminded of some of the best moments of the day. Luke also produced some fantastic shots for our pre-wedding photos which we are able to use as wedding invites. We also approached him for our first family photo shoot which, as always, he did not fail to deliver. Not only is he a great photographer but he is also personable, friendly, and above all accommodating. We enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him. Based on our experience, we won’t hesitate to contact him for all our future events.

Luke was brilliant from start to finish! We went for LVRS photography and Video highlights package. Luke met us before our wedding to see the venue and get a feel for what we were hoping to capture on the day. He was great at explaining how we could use the morning and afternoon light to capture our photos. We visited local parks to finalize which 'natural' location would be best for us. This helped us a lot in terms of creating an itinerary with photography sessions in mind.

On the actual wedding day Luke - everything went smoothly - Luke captured everything we had requested and more! The final photos and videos came out great. Would highly recommend LVRS to a friend.

Luke & LVRS team, Thank you once more for your hard work on this, we are very happy with the end result.
Fabrizio F.

professional service, quick delivery, amazing pictures.Working with Luke was an absolute pleasure: both him and his second were extremely accomodating, professional, and delivered extremely high quality pictures in record time!
Christopher K.

We had the incredible privilege of having Luke as our photographer, and I must say, he truly is a consummate professional. Not only did he possess a remarkable talent behind the lens, but he was also an absolute delight to have around on our special day.

Luke went above and beyond, immersing himself in every moment, and his ability to capture the beauty of our memories left us in awe. These are the kind of memories we'll hold dear for the rest of our lives.

If you're in search of a photographer who genuinely cares about preserving the authenticity and natural beauty of your moments, look no further than Luke. I can't recommend him highly enough, and I wholeheartedly give him a perfect 10/10 rating.

Luke, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the incredible work you've done.
Amy H.

Simply Fabulous! We Love our wedding photos! We found Luke on here and he gave us a call to discuss our options, he stayed in contact with us right up to our wedding and even traveled down to our venue for a pre-meet to pick out some good photos spots before our big day, we also discussed the type of style photos we liked. We got some beautiful photos of us and in the ceremony and we didn't even know he was there. Nothing was too much trouble for Luke and we would highly recommend him for anyone's wedding!
Rachael F.

Luke was amazing on our wedding day and made us feel so relaxed! He even did a practice shoot with us so we could meet him and get used to the camera. He also delivered our photos really quickly and I love them!
Sophie S.

LVRS Photography made everything so easy on the day, no pressure for us and was able to mix with the wedding party so easy which is what we wanted in a photographer. Worked constantly in 34 degree heat outside and made everything feel so easy in the day that we were over the moon with the service.
Mark & Outi

Luke photographed our wedding in central London and from the start, he was a pleasure to work with. He invested time and effort to make sure everything went well on the day and the pictures he took are stunning. We can't recommend him enough.
Bella & Svet

Luke was our wedding photographer in March 2018 in London. He was very helpful in the planning meetings running up to the wedding and did a first-class job on the day. We've got some fantastic photos to remember the occasion by and would readily recommend Luke as a great photographer and a great guy.

Wedding Videography

Our highlight films are a romantic snapshot of your day, crafted to feel like you. We film in slow motion and edit to music you genuinely connect with, so it feels personal, not generic. The focus is always the emotion and atmosphere, the nerves, the laughter, the hugs, the little glances, and the moments you might not even notice until you see them back.
