The Light Painters

The Light Painters are a husband & wife wedding photography team based in Dronfield, GB, specialising in documentary wedding photography that tells your day as it truly unfolded. Their approach is rooted in people-first storytelling — seeking the small, unguarded moments that reveal real connection rather than relying on stiff poses. If you want wedding photos that feel honest, emotional and timeless, this is their speciality. Why choose The Light Painters? Hannah and David bring a warm, calm presence to busy wedding days. They prioritise getting to know couples so everyone feels comfortable and natural in front of the camera. That familiarity shows in their work: images that capture tears, belly laughs, quiet glances and golden-hour portraits with a cinematic, signature style. Their portfolio spans intimate elopements, adventurous destination weddings and larger UK celebrations — all treated with the same documentary sensitivity and creative eye. Their process is friendly, clear and designed to let you enjoy the day. Before the wedding they take time to connect via a pre-wedding call and, where helpful, an engagement or couple session to build rapport and ease any nerves. On the day they work unobtrusively, blending into the flow of events while also creating space for a few meaningful portraits. After the wedding your gallery is delivered through a private online viewing platform so you can share your favourites with family and friends. Beyond photography, The Light Painters offer thoughtful keepsakes tied to their wedding service. They design bespoke, handmade wedding albums that present your images as an heirloom story, and they also create cinematic highlight films as a complementary, secondary offering. Everything they do centres on preserving the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding day — not just beautiful pictures, but memories you can relive. Specialists in wedding photography, The Light Painters combine documentary sensibility, abundant travel experience and a love of people to craft professional wedding photos that feel personal. Based in Dronfield and available for weddings across the UK and worldwide, they focus on capturing the real story of your celebration — the moments you won’t want to forget.
