About Lewis Bishop Photography
Hello, I’m Lewis…
Lover of photography, gaming, hearty roast dinners, and the wonders of the great outdoors. (Planning a mountain wedding? Count me in! 📸) I’ve been capturing love stories since 2015 (can you believe it?), with the chance to snap moments in my hometown of Northamptonshire, all over the UK, and even across the globe! (Shooting a wedding in Mexico & Cyprus is a memory I will never forget!)
Along this incredible journey, I’ve met some amazing souls, and I genuinely adore what I do. Over the years, I’ve carved out a reputation for making couples feel at ease, charming the pants off parents, and blending in like a friend rather than just a photographer at weddings. If you’re on the lookout for a photographer who vibes with the moment instead of taking over, then drop me a message today!
“It was like having another friend there, and he made everyone feel at ease.” – Chloe & Greg
How it all began
I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a wedding photographer. For a while, I actually wanted to be a lawyer. That phase didn’t last long.
Like most kids, I bounced from one idea to the next. What stuck, without me really realising it at the time, was photography.
Looking back, it started earlier than I thought. I was always the one photographing everything on my phone, the quality was awful, but I loved it. I also made videos with friends using old camcorders, proper videotapes and all. Nothing serious, just messing about, but I loved watching it all back and being part of the creative process.
At the time, I never thought photography could be a career.
That changed when I picked up my first proper camera by pure chance. The jump in quality blew my mind. A week later, I walked into an electronics shop and bought my first DSLR, a Canon 550D. From that moment on, the camera barely left my hands.
As my skills grew, people started reaching out through social media asking if I could photograph their children. For money. Real money. That was the moment it clicked that this might be more than just a hobby.
What really hooked me was the feeling of capturing moments that actually mattered to people. Creating memories that would last. As cheesy as it sounds, photography gave me a sense of purpose, and it still does.
After photographing a bit of everything, I captured my first wedding for a work colleague. He knew I’d never photographed a wedding before, but he trusted me to document his day properly. That trust changed everything.
Since then, wedding photography has become the heart of what I do. I’ve built my business around documenting real moments, real people, and days that unfold naturally. It’s been a journey I’ve shared openly over the years on my blog, and one I’m incredibly grateful for.
Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me travelling, cycling, eating good food, gaming, gardening, or spending time with my family.
