I’m Lee Archer, a Doncaster wedding photographer specialising in timeless, natural wedding and engagement photos. My calm, documentary approach keeps your day relaxed and real.
I’m Lee Archer — a Doncaster wedding photographer who has been photographing weddings since 2009. My work is rooted in a calm, documentary-led approach: I look for real moments, genuine emotion and the small details that make each day unique. I aim to create bespoke, beautiful and timeless images that feel effortless and true to you, without heavy-handed retouching unless you specifically ask for it. Why couples choose me is simple: I treat your wedding as a story to be told honestly. I’m published and award-recognised, but what matters most is making you feel comfortable so natural moments can unfold. I limit the number of weddings I accept each year so I can give every couple the time and attention they deserve. That means a relaxed, personal experience from our first chat right through to delivering your finished images and keepsakes. My process is straightforward and client-focused. We’ll start with a relaxed consultation — often over a coffee or a phone call — to talk about your plans and what matters most to you. Many couples add a pre-wedding or engagement shoot so they can get used to being photographed; it’s a great way to calm nerves and enjoy a relaxed session together. On the day I work unobtrusively: I’m friendly, respectful and adept at guiding natural poses when needed, while letting the day’s moments breathe. I produce clean, stylish images with a modern finish — I don’t over-process unless requested. For couples who want a physical heirloom, I design premium wedding books in-house and work with high-quality producers to create albums that evoke the emotion of the day. I’m also ADHD & Autism friendly and proud to offer an approach that is considerate of different needs and sensitivities. Based between Doncaster and Sheffield, I regularly travel across the UK for weddings. While weddings are my primary focus, I also photograph engagement sessions and offer complementary commercial and portrait work for clients who know and trust my style. If you’re looking for a Doncaster wedding photographer who values calm, authenticity and beautiful storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans and talk through how I can capture your day.
