Luke Bell's journey in photography began in the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, where an exciting array of opportunities shaped his early career. For nearly five years, he worked across a diverse range of photography genres—sports, advertising, portraiture, architectural—you name it, he’s done it. The only thing missing from his portfolio was weddings. However, upon returning to the UK, Luke took the leap and quickly realized what he had been missing.
In 2019, Luke’s talent was recognized in significant waysas he was named "Best New Talent in Europe" by the BODAF and selected as one of Rangefinder Magazine’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.
In 2021, his work reached new heights with ELLE Magazine placing him at the top of their list of "17 Wedding Photographers You Need to Know About."
Luke has since developed a deep passion for wedding photography, recognizing the immense privilege of capturing such meaningful moments. His approach is rooted in a genuine love for photographing people and their interactions on these rare and special occasions. Whether it’s the quiet breath before the ceremony, the first look, emotional speeches, or even the wild dancing that follows, Luke is dedicated to capturing every moment with empathy and curiosity.
Weddings, in his view, offer a rare opportunity where everyone you love is gathered together, having the time of their lives. Documenting these moments properly is nothing short of essential.
