Timeless Wedding Photography with an Editorial and Cinematic Touch
Editorial Wedding Photography with a Filmmaker’s Eye
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and your photographs should capture its beauty, emotion, and elegance in a way that feels both timeless and authentic. At Luke Batchelor Productions, I approach wedding photography with the eye of a filmmaker—crafting images that feel cinematic, storytelling-driven, and effortlessly refined. My wedding photography style combines the artistry of fine art photography with the natural flow of documentary-style storytelling, ensuring every moment is captured with grace and emotion.
My luxurious editorial approach to wedding photography means I blend the natural, highly-emotive moments of your special day with artistic and creative direction in my signature fine-art style, giving you an extremely valuable experience alongside a gallery that is truly bespoke that you will treasure for a lifetime.
What Makes My Wedding Photography Unique?
Every wedding tells a unique story, and my approach to editorial wedding photography is all about capturing that story in an artistic yet natural way. I pride myself on collaborating closely with my couples, providing them with a unique and bespoke photography experience that puts the emphasis on them, and their story.
As a wedding photographer and videographer, with my roots founded in cinematic storytelling and films, I understand that your wedding day isn’t a film set or photoshoot, and that you aren’t professional models. I have a mantra and approach that I believe is key to creating images and film you’ll absolutely adore- it’s putting people first, and keeping cameras second.
This approach allows me to build trust and rapport with you both as your wedding photographer, meaning I am better able to tell your story through the medium of still images.
My editorial-style photography style blends:
Cinematic storytelling
Inspired by my background in wedding filmmaking, I frame each shot with composition and lighting in mind to create timeless, artistic images. Working with both natural light and off-camera lighting, I use my experience and expertise to create show-stopping and visually striking imagery you’ll love and will want to proudly display for the rest of your lives.
Natural and authentic moments
I focus on genuine emotions and real interactions, delivering a style that embodies natural wedding photography and authentic moments that capture to true feelings of your day. In my career as a wedding videographer I know how important it is to allow a natural moment to unfold uninterrupted, because it’s as much about your experience as it is about capturing the moment. With that in mind, I work diligently to ensure I capture everything whilst being mindful of your experience throughout your day working with me.
Fine art elegance
Every photograph is carefully composed, edited with a soft yet sophisticated touch, and designed to stand the test of time. My editorial and fine-art style means I offer creative direction to achieve truly incredible photographs of you both enjoying your wedding day experience together, creating a final gallery for you that will leave you breathless. I place a high value on elegance, refined emotional storytelling and luxurious look and feel to your wedding photographs.
A relaxed experience
I work discreetly, making you feel comfortable in front of the camera while capturing every important detail seamlessly. I hold by relationship and rapport with you in high regard- my aim is always to feel more like a friend to you than to be just your photographer. My military background means I am relaxed, calm under pressure and decisive, absorbing the stress and problems of a wedding day and protecting you from it. My belief is that I should make you feel like I am just another friend at your wedding, rather than just being your wedding photographer.
“When we received our video from Luke, I sobbed like a baby. It was romantic, magical and overall just pure love. We feel so honoured to have Luke at our wedding and would recommend him at any chance we get.
It really is over and above what we expected and we feel so much love being able to share Luke's work with our nearest people
Thank you for making it possible to relive the love from our day, over and over again.”
Alana & Carl, Winters Barns

There’s something truly special about photographing weddings- it’s something I am truly passionate about.

I love the feeling of delivering a fine art and editorial gallery to a couple of mine and then hearing their reactions- there really is no better feeling in the world.

“Luke has really made the way we will look back on that day so much more meaningful to us. His unique way of story-telling and working with the speeches and candid moments throughout the day is fantastic.
I have had countless friends and family say that ours is the best wedding video and that they’ve never seen anything like it.”
Kirsty & Stan, The Orangery
