GET IN TOUCH
Based in Telford, Shropshire, I’m Dana Lewis, a documentary wedding photographer capturing authentic moments throughout the UK. I regularly photograph weddings across Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Worcestershire and beyond.
 
Whether you’re planning a countryside celebration in Worcestershire or a city wedding in Birmingham, I’d love to capture your day with my fun, documentary approach.
Here you’ll find real wedding features, planning tips, venue guides, and honest advice to help you plan your perfect day.
 
No stiff poses, no awkward stares, just genuine moments and true-to-colour photography that tells your unique love story.

If you’re planning your own wedding, I highly recommend checking out Visit Shropshire for amazing local venues, Bridebook & Hitched for creative inspiration and trusted suppliers.

Real Weddings by a Shropshire Wedding Photographer

There’s nothing I love more than sharing the beautiful weddings I’ve had the honour to photograph. Every couple has a unique story, and these real wedding features showcase the genuine moments, personal touches, and authentic emotions that make each celebration special.
 
As a documentary wedding photographer based in Telford, Shropshire, I work with couples throughout the UK who want their personalities captured without stiff poses or forced smiles. These galleries show what that looks like in practice from intimate ceremonies to epic dance floor celebrations, countryside venues to city celebrations.
 
I’ve photographed weddings across Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Cheshire, and throughout England and Wales. Each wedding brings something different, but they all share one thing: genuine love and joy captured authentically.
 
Browse these real weddings to get a feel for my photography style, see venues in action, and gather inspiration for your own day. You’ll see weddings at stunning venues like Rowton Castle, The Wroxeter, Manor Hill House, and locations throughout the UK. And if you see yourself in any of these stories, I’d love to hear from you!
