Liam Smith Photography

Hi, I’m Liam. I’m a Catford-based wedding photographer who loves the chaos, tenderness and full‑on joy of a wedding day. My work is rooted in documentary and candid approaches — I don’t ask you to perform for the camera. Instead I aim to record your day as it happens so the pictures are honest, emotional and unmistakably yours. Why choose me? Because I treat weddings like stories, not photo sessions. I studied photography and art for many years and have honed a practice that balances technical skill with emotional sensitivity. That means I’m at home in low light and on busy dancefloors, and I know when to disappear and when to step forward. My images have been recognised by industry awards and featured on major UK wedding blogs, but the most important feedback is from couples who tell me their slideshow made them cry — in a good way. What makes my approach special is a focus on people over poses. I blend documentary, reportage and fine‑art influences so each frame can be quiet and intimate or dramatic and joyful depending on the moment. I love capturing big feelings: the hush before a vow, a parent’s private tear, and the wild energy of the party. I also understand the practical bits — I’ll get the group photos done efficiently, and twenty minutes is plenty for portraits if you want a few calm, beautiful images together. How I work with clients is straightforward and friendly. We’ll meet (in person or on Zoom) so you know who’s turning up on the day. That rapport matters — couples relax, guests forget the camera, and the pictures feel natural. On the day I’m discreet but fully present: part observer, part guest. I edit every image myself and deliver a thoughtful gallery that lets you relive the day. Environmentally, I’m proud to support reforestation (I plant trees for bookings) because I care about leaving a positive mark beyond the photographs. If you’re after a wedding photographer in Catford who values authenticity, has an eye for light and story, and isn’t afraid to get on the dancefloor when the party starts, let’s talk. I love hearing about plans, weird traditions and the small details that make your day unique — those are the moments I live to photograph.
