Based in Chelsea, Lewis Membery specialises in cinematic, photojournalistic wedding photography. He crafts honest, emotive images with full‑day coverage and bespoke fine‑art albums.
I’m Lewis Membery, a Chelsea‑based wedding photographer with a simple philosophy: put the human connection at the centre of every image. My work is inspired by the colour and lighting of cinema, the candid energy of street photography and the storytelling power of sincere moments. That combination informs a photojournalistic approach that captures how your day truly feels — not just how it looks. I specialise in full‑day wedding photography. I shoot with a subtle, unobtrusive manner so guests can be themselves and real moments can unfold naturally. My aim is to craft an elegant, cinematic narrative that feels rich and timeless; photos that, years from now, bring you straight back to the nerves, laughter and quiet glances of the day. I place great value on the relationship I build with each couple: getting to know you means I can anticipate what matters, be a calm guide on the day and deliver images that reflect your personality. Working with me is collaborative and relaxed. I limit my diary so that I can give every wedding the attention it deserves — from our initial conversations to the final album delivery. I encourage a pre‑wedding couples shoot when it helps couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, and I’m happy to include second‑shooter support where a wider viewpoint is useful. After the wedding you’ll receive curated, high‑resolution images in a private online gallery and a highlight slideshow so friends and family can relive the day. For couples who want a tangible heirloom, I design handcrafted fine‑art albums, hand‑bound in England. The album process is collaborative: you choose cover materials and images, and I design a flowing narrative that becomes a physical legacy of your day. Prints and wall art are also available to bring selected moments into your home. Although based in Chelsea, I travel across the UK and internationally for destination weddings — I’ve photographed celebrations in Tuscany, France, Puerto Rico and beyond. If you value honest, emotive wedding photography with a cinematic sensibility and a focus on real connection, let’s start a conversation and see if we’re the right fit for your wedding day.
