Featured weddings, publications & Interviews

My Featured Photography work

Every so often, a wedding day unfolds in a way that not only resonates with the couples I photograph, but also catches the attention of editors, publishers & platforms across the wedding industry. Being published isn’t something I chase or design weddings around. It’s not the goal of the day & it’s never a priority above the couple’s experience. But when a wedding is selected by magazines or leading wedding blogs, it’s often because the images reflect something genuine: real emotion, atmosphere, personality, and the way the story of the day unfolded, & that’s exactly what I strive to create for every couple.

Trust & Experience

While awards and interviews are lovely, the highest honour is peoples’ trust. I pride myself on the experience I provide couples before, on & after the wedding day. Their feedback means the world to me & you can see what they have to say via my Google Reviews. Read my reviews here. The awards and features shown here are the result of a refined, decade-long commitment to the craft. You can see a behind the scenes look at the systems and philosophy that underpin every published wedding. Here’s a collection of some of my featured Devon wedding photographer work…

Featured in Rangefinder

This is the wonderful wedding of Catrina & Charlie, who tied the knot beside the sea at the Marine Theatre in Somerset. They wanted a relaxed, family-focused celebration and a photographer who would document the day as it unfolded. Having seen me photograph a family member’s wedding, they (very thankfully) invited me along for theirs.

The Marine Theatre is beautiful, but comes with one unique challenge: zero natural light. Instead of fighting it, I leaned into what made the space special – its theatre rigging and dramatic stage lighting. Throughout the day I worked with the existing lights to keep everything feeling authentic, and for their first dance I brought in a pair of gelled flashes to complement the theatre’s own colours without overpowering the moment.

The result was a set of images that felt true to the atmosphere of the venue and the energy of the day. One of those images was later featured in Rangefinder magazine, which was a lovely acknowledgement of how embracing a challenge can create something unexpected.

Featured in Wed Magazine

I loved this wedding so much! This is the wonderful Murphy & Sam who got married Mount Folly Farm near Bigbury on Sea in South Devon. They planned a cliff top wedding with friends and family visiting from all over the place. They booked me because they were after natural wedding photos but also available to stay long after the first dance.

This day lent itself to natural light all day long, being a beautiful summer’s day with a marquee reception that included a skylight. The ceremony was held in bright sunshine and I opted to remain flash free and manipulate my iso and shutter speeds for the fun dancing in the evening. I choose angles during the ceremony that were often backlit to keep harsh shadows away from key moments.

I was so pleased when this wedding got featured in Wed Magazine, the premier wedding magazine of the southwest. The selection of images published were some of my favourites from the day, including the one above, and to see their story put to words.

My Approach to documenting weddings

Ninedots Podcast Interview

I’ve been lucky enough to attend the Ninedots wedding photography gathering a few times, but one of the highlights was being invited onto their podcast. Each episode features photographers sharing honest stories about how they entered the industry, what they’ve learned, and what they’d approach differently if they were starting again.

During the conversation, I spoke about my early years, the mistakes that helped shape my style, and why I’ve always kept people – not business – at the centre of everything I do. It’s a small insight into the thinking behind my work: how I approach a wedding day, how I read moments as they unfold, and why staying present and unobtrusive matters so much to me.

For couples, it offers a behind-the-scenes look at the decisions and philosophy that guide the way I document a wedding.

Shotkit Interview

I was interviewed by Shotkit, one of the most trusted sites for photographers who want to understand the tools behind the craft. In the feature, I walk through what I carry in my wedding photography bag, but more importantly, why I choose each piece of equipment.

Although my kit has naturally evolved over the years, the core philosophy hasn’t changed: I use lightweight, unobtrusive gear that allows me to stay discreet, move quickly and blend into the day. That means fewer distractions, no intrusive flashes, and the freedom to react instantly to those fleeting moments you don’t get a second chance at.

For couples, this is a small insight into the invisible side of what I do: the planning, the preparation and the choices that help me stay focused on connection, emotion and real moments rather than the technology in my hands.

My Portfolio

Featured in Boho Weddings

Sophie & Dale’s wedding is a really meaningful part of my journey as a photographer. They first saw me in action years earlier while I was photographing a destination wedding in France. When it was their turn to plan a celebration of their own, they got in touch & I had no idea I’d end up photographing several of their friends’ weddings in the years that followed. There’s something incredibly grounding about being welcomed back into the same circle again and again. It’s the biggest compliment I can receive.

Their wedding took place at the family home in Devon, with a marquee built completely from scratch. It was the definition of a true DIY wedding: the garden was transformed an entire year in advance, every detail planned and crafted by hand. Days like this are a dream for documentary photography,

After I delivered the gallery, Boho Weddings chose to feature it, drawn to the relaxed outdoor aesthetic and the genuine atmosphere throughout the images. It’s a wedding I think about often because it reflects everything I love about photographing people in their own element.

Featured in Green Union Weddings

Claire & Matt chose to celebrate their wedding at Tree Top Escape, a beautifully intimate elopement venue tucked into the Devon countryside. The space is known for its focus on sustainability, which aligned perfectly with their own values & it was lovely to see their day later featured by Green Union for both its atmosphere & its eco-conscious approach.

Winter weddings always bring a different kind of magic & a different set of challenges. With daylight disappearing quickly & the weather shifting constantly, you have to stay alert for the pockets of opportunity. On this day the sky moved between clouds & showers, but when a brief window of blue opened up, we made our way to the lake. The stillness of the water, the reflection of the tree line & that soft winter light all came together to create one of my favourite portraits I’ve ever taken.

My approach stayed the same as always: choose a beautiful patch of light, offer a couple of tips & let the moment unfold naturally. Using a 35mm prime allowed the landscape to play its part without overwhelming the connection between them. It felt honest, simple, and completely them.

FAQs

Featured in Whimsical Weddings

Of the thousands of photographs I’ve taken over the years, this one sits very close to the heart. It was created in 2020 – an unpredictable, unsettling year for everyone & for wedding photographers a time when none of us knew if or when we’d return to the work we loved. That’s why it felt so special when Harriet & Michael were finally able to celebrate their day.

Their wedding took place on the Cornish coast, full of personality and their own sense of style, but the moment that stayed with me happened inside a tiny, low-lit church. During one of the readings they instinctively reached for each other’s hands, a quiet gesture that said everything about the gravity and softness of the day. Photographing in a small space with limited light meant anticipating the moment before it happened, waiting for the emotion rather than the pose.

Whimsical Weddings featured this image for exactly that reason. They champion couples who embrace individuality and heartfelt connection, and this frame felt like a perfect reflection of both. It’s a reminder that even in challenging times, simple moments can tell the biggest stories.

Featured in Adored Bride

Sammy & Helen’s wedding at Beaconside House in North Devon is one I remember with huge fondness. They planned the entire celebration from Australia, where they were living at the time, and returned home to be surrounded by family and friends for their big day. Despite the distance, they created a warm, joyful summer wedding that Adored Bride later chose to feature.

From a photography point of view, their ceremony offered one of my favourite frames of the season: their first kiss. Rather than shooting from the back of the aisle, I like to work closer – quietly and unobtrusively – so the viewer feels part of the moment. In this case, that choice meant capturing not just the kiss itself, but the bridesmaids cheering behind them, a burst of celebration that completed the story in one frame. It’s the kind of image where timing, anticipation and proximity all come together. Sammy & Helen later wrote about their experience, and their words still make me smile:

“We loved Lee’s photo style… relaxed, non-invasive… we don’t remember seeing him at all during the day, yet he managed to capture every moment, emotion and guest. He was also a really lovely guy.”

Fearless Award

Relatively early on in my career I was incredibly fortunate to receive a Fearless Award. For anyone unfamiliar, Fearless Photographers curate collections of the most impactful wedding images from around the world, roughly the top 1% make the cut. It’s a community that celebrates creativity and pushes photographers to look beyond the obvious, & having one of my images recognised felt like a huge milestone.

Fearless is all about photographs that make you feel something. Not the traditional, expected moments, but the ones that catch you off-guard or pull you straight into the scene. This frame from Maddie & Alex’s wedding at Bridwell Estate (sadly no longer a venue) is a perfect example. It was taken at the exact moment a giant Jenga tower came crashing down—one of those beautifully chaotic, blink-and-you-miss-it parts of a wedding day.

I’d just fully embraced prime lenses, especially my 24mm, which lets me get close enough to preserve the energy without disrupting it. That choice made this image what it is: immersive, honest, and full of life. Looking back, this photograph reminds me why I chase unscripted moments—they tell the truest stories.
