Lewis Fackrell Photography

I’m Lewis — a Cardiff-based wedding photographer who treats wedding photography as more than a checklist of shots. With over ten years’ experience and 430+ weddings photographed, my work is rooted in a modern, documentary approach: I look for the small, candid moments — the nerves, the embraces, the jokes and the chaos of the dance floor — and craft them into images that feel honest and timeless. Why choose me? Couples often tell me it felt like having a trusted friend there. I aim to be unobtrusive, friendly and reliable: skipping the awkwardness and cheesiness in favour of photos that actually reflect how your day felt. That means spending most of the day capturing real moments naturally, with a short, relaxed window for a handful of modern portraits and gentle guidance when you want it. My process is straightforward and centred on making you comfortable. We’ll start with a conversation — I’ll listen to how you want to be photographed and share practical ideas for the day. Many couples find a pre-wedding (engagement) session helpful to relax in front of the camera and to plan locations and timings. On the day I blend into the background, stay ready for spontaneous moments and deliver an online gallery so you can easily share and download your images. Although weddings are my primary focus, I also travel for destination weddings across the UK and Europe, bringing the same documentary ethos to international celebrations. My service is tailored to easy-going, ready-to-party and adventure-seeking couples who value photography as an investment and want images that will still mean something in twenty years’ time. If you’re looking for anything beyond full wedding coverage — like a pre-wedding session or family portraits connected to your wedding day — those are available as complementary options. My main expertise remains wedding coverage, and I’ll always prioritise capturing the narrative of your wedding day with warmth, technical care and good humour. If you’d like to see how that looks in practice or to chat about your plans in Cardiff or beyond, I’d love to hear from you.
