Lewis Hay Photography

Lewis Hay Photography is a specialist wedding photographer based in Ayr, focused entirely on documenting weddings with a candid, storytelling approach. With more than seven years in photography and a background in street photography, Lewis brings a keen eye for spontaneous moments and real emotion—the kind of images that feel true years after the day has passed. Why choose Lewis Hay? His experience shooting on the streets taught him to anticipate interactions and capture genuine responses. That sensitivity translates directly into a calm, unobtrusive presence on your wedding day: a ‘fly on the wall’ approach that prioritises natural smiles, private glances and the small details that make each celebration unique. Whether your day takes place in a countryside Ayrshire venue or a city setting in Glasgow, Lewis’s intimate knowledge of local locations helps him find beautiful light and memorable backdrops. What makes his approach special is the balance between documentary instinct and considered composition. Lewis looks for candid moments but also steps in when needed to create relaxed, flattering portraits. He values connection—getting to know couples before the day so people feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. This friendly, professional manner helps even camera-shy couples relax and enjoy the experience rather than pose for it. How he works with clients is straightforward and personal. From initial contact through a relaxed consultation, Lewis focuses on understanding your story, priorities and the atmosphere you want to preserve. On the day he coordinates sensitively with venues and family, blending into the celebration while documenting key emotions and interactions. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that read like the story of your day: candid moments, intimate portraits and the atmosphere of your celebration. Lewis is committed to delivering timeless, authentic images you’ll want to revisit for years to come. If you’re planning a wedding in Ayrshire, Glasgow or elsewhere in Scotland and want a photographer who specialises in heartfelt, unobtrusive wedding photography, Lewis Hay offers a personalised, creative approach that keeps your story at the centre of every image.
