Friendly, energetic wedding photographer based in Friern Barnet. Luis Gomes captures natural, documentary wedding moments with an emphasis on movement, timeless storytelling and a same-day sneak peek.
Luis Gomes is a specialist wedding photographer based in Friern Barnet, proudly serving London, the UK and destination couples. With an approachable, energetic style and a focus on honest storytelling, Luis helps couples feel relaxed so their day unfolds naturally — producing images that look and feel like them rather than staged poses. Why choose Luis Gomes? He brings clarity and transparency to the whole process: a warm, conversational approach from first contact, clear guidance during planning, and calm confidence on the day. Since beginning wedding photography in 2018 he’s invested extensively in his craft, refining lighting, composition and timing so that each wedding is captured with technical skill and emotional sensitivity. Luis also mentors emerging photographers, which keeps his own practice fresh and rooted in industry best practice. What makes his photography special is a commitment to timeless, documentary storytelling. He blends into the background to capture unscripted moments — laughter, quiet glances, and the spontaneous connections that define a wedding — while stepping in with gentle direction when it helps a scene flow. Couples describe the experience as effortless and fun, even for those who are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Luis is also a recognised specialist in photographing movement and dance. Years of experience shooting dancers and live performances mean he can anticipate decisive moments on the dancefloor and tackle challenging lighting with creative solutions. If your celebration features a lively first dance or performance, his experience ensures those energetic moments are rendered with clarity and artistry. Luis values inclusivity and cultural fluency. Originally from Venezuela and married to a British partner, he understands the beauty of multicultural celebrations and is LGBTQ+ friendly. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, making him an excellent choice for couples with multilingual guests. Engagement sessions are available for couples who want relaxed portraits or to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. Above all, Luis limits the number of weddings he accepts each year to ensure every couple receives focused attention and a thoughtfully crafted set of images that will last a lifetime. If you want a Friern Barnet and London-based wedding photographer who combines documentary storytelling, movement expertise and a friendly, transparent service, Luis would love to hear about your plans and tell your story through his lens.
