HOLA, I’M LUIS

WHO I AM

I recently followed in the footsteps of the 600+ couples weddings that I’ve shot and got hitched to my beautiful wife Georgia back in December 2023 – it was absolutely everything I hoped it would be. We had an absolute blast!

Taking it back a few years before all that, I combined two passions of mine – travel and photography – and sailed the seven seas for 12 years as a photographer in the Royal Navy.

I still adore travelling and exploring, and for me there’s nothing better than shooting at a new venue, or a new country even… I usually take on 6 – 7 destination weddings per year, quite often in magical Italy, for the pure love of it all.

I first learned photography shooting on analogue film and bringing photos to life in the darkroom. It’s so refreshing to see that there are still people out there who love 35mm film as much as I do. These days, I mix a couple of rolls of film scans into my digital workflow for all of my couples galleries.

My Spotify is always on. I enjoy both old and new tunes. Any genre. Tears For Fears, Joy Division, Sombre, The Weeknd, maybe a bit of Bruce Springsteen – all the way through to Fred Again, Patrick Topping, Skrillex. I turn it up loud and edit away.

I’m not a great dancer but I’ll be getting down on the dance-floor with y’all. I’ve actually lost the ability to dance without holding a camera though. If I’m without one my arms just kinda flail about beside my body.

I like keeping fit – I occasionally beast my Peleton, do my weights – and I love a game of football. I’ve got one trick (the rainbow kick – which I’ve never used in a proper game).

I’m actually doing what I always wanted to do. I know that sounds like gloating but it’s the nailed-on truth – quite simply, I love shooting weddings. I mean, proper love it. Good job really – there is no Plan B (as I learned during the covid years!).

So that’s a little bit about me.
