Viewed Through A Lens is a Hemel Hempstead wedding specialist creating natural, emotive wedding and engagement photography. Calm, unobtrusive presence to capture authentic moments on your day.
Viewed Through A Lens specialises in wedding photography from its base in Hemel Hempstead, bringing focused expertise to every wedding day. I concentrate on capturing the authentic moments that make each celebration unique — the quiet exchanges, spontaneous laughter and the small gestures that tell a couple’s story. My approach is to be present but unobtrusive, guiding when needed and otherwise photographing the day as it naturally unfolds to create timeless, professional wedding photos. Why choose Viewed Through A Lens? I combine a keen eye for composition with a calm, reassuring presence so couples feel relaxed from preparations to last dance. My emphasis is on emotional storytelling: thoughtful portraits that celebrate the couple, candid reportage of the ceremony and reception, and carefully considered details that together form a complete visual narrative of your wedding day. I prioritise connection and listening — understanding what matters to you so the images reflect your personalities and the atmosphere of your celebration. How I work: before the wedding I take time to understand your plans, priorities and any special moments you want highlighted. On the day I blend a documentary style with classic portraiture, offering gentle direction for portraits while focusing on real interactions elsewhere. The result is a balanced gallery of bridal photography, engagement moments and candid scenes that feel authentic and enduring. I aim to make the photography side of your wedding seamless, allowing you to be fully present while I capture the story. Alongside wedding photography, Viewed Through A Lens offers supplementary services including engagement shoots and the option to commission videography or aerial drone coverage where appropriate. These are provided to complement the wedding imagery rather than replace the core photographic coverage. Based in Hemel Hempstead and working across the UK, I bring professional experience, creative sensitivity and a genuine love of weddings to every assignment — creating images you’ll return to again and again.
