Meet Your Photographer.
Hi I’m Lewis! And photography is all I’ve known for my entire adult life.
Let me tell you a story, I was 16. At my Sixth Form open day. Each subject had a ‘trial lesson’ to see if you wanted to pick it for your A-level. There was a part of the day where none of my key subjects were on offer. So, I thought, Photography might be fun - let me give it a try.
I turned up, but - the lesson had already began. Being an awkward teenager, I turned around and began walking out of the art building. As I was walking down the stairs into the cold air something told me to turn back round and just give it a go, I plucked up the courage and went back and knocked on the classroom door and the rest is history!
I learnt the craft as I went! On trips to California & New York when I was 18, I spent half the trip doing street photography. When I was home, I ended up taking photos of anything and everything (even championship football matches).This helped build the skills of learning to take photos in any situation and how to frame naturally occurring events, which I believe led to me developing the natural style you see in my Wedding & Event photography today.
I am now 23, have a degree in photography and work for myself doing a job I absolutely love! I’m almost 5 years in to my business and have captured over one hundred weddings & events.
My style carries over to everything I photograph, I describe my style as cinematic (yes I know that’s a cliche word now). I take a natural approach (even with posed pics) and create photos that are classy and timeless by editing with soft, muted tones and deep, rich black snd whites to give your photos my signature look. Okay - that’s enough I sound really egotistical now.
Final little Bit
I’d love to get to know you better than just a business transaction, I’m just a person like you after all. I always start with a call, so I’m not just text on a screen! But if you’re local, would love to grab a coffee and talk about your big day. Before photography I wanted to be a PT, I’m still very much into the gym so if you’re an athletic couple, why not join me for a little gym sesh?
This isn’t just my job, I love creating regardless. If you want to see my silly gym videos find me at @LiftwithLew on Instagram & TikTok
I create personal creative work on @lewhiorns, this includes some other photography, films and travel stuff!
If that still isn’t enough (yes I have 4 accounts), find some content from my own life at @lewishiorns, but I’m sure you’d be sick of seeing my face by then.
Thanks for reading, send me a message and let’s work together!
Lewis
