Linus Moran Photography brings a very personal and contemporary approach to Wedding Photography. Having a proven track record in the world of photojournalism over the last 16 years he has worked for some of the worlds leading news and magazine titles. This wealth of experience is now put to good use in creating unique, refreshing reportage / documentary wedding photography to discerning clients throughout the UK and abroad.
Keeping away from some intrusive styles, Linus blends in with the wedding party and follows its natural flow, never dictating how and what to do or even asking a Bridal couple to do something for the sake of the camera and to make a picture.
Your memories should be beautifully captured as they happen with the minimal of fuss. I try to avoid flash photography & shoot with natural light where possible as this retains the essence of a scene and maintains a lack of awareness from Wedding guests.
Don't worry if you require some formal group shots as I understand the importance for these. They can be fitted in simply and relatively quickly thereby allowing everyone to continue enjoying themselves!

We feel so lucky to have had Linus as our wedding photographer. He captured the subtle, personal moments that made the day so special - all while being seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once. We had many friends and family members comment to us about how wonderful he was on the day. We even had vendors tell us his work is the best they've seen. We couldn't recommend him enough.

We booked Linus for our Civil Partnership celebration in August. We couldn't have been happier with the service he provided. When choosing which photographer to go with, Linus was open and helpful, and incredibly friendly. He made the decision easy. We also think his prices are very reasonable, especially compared with other photographers in the area. Linus also worked with us when we had to delay our whole event by a year due to Covid.
He was very helpful and made the postponement as smooth as possible. Linus came and visited our venue with us before the day so that we could talk through what we wanted and get his professional insight into where good pictures would be. On the day, Linus was everywhere (but nowhere - it was proper fly on the wall stuff)! We were able to just celebrate the day without worrying.
He worked so hard to get the pictures we wanted to document our celebration. He was polite to all of the guests and we have ended up with a collection of photos that really tell the story of our day and will help us to remember it for years to come. Thank you, Linus! *Please note the photos added to this review are just a sample and don't contain photos of people's faces for privacy reasons. I assure you the photos of people are amazing!

Thank you so much Linus for such a fantastic experience throughout the entire process of planning, and replanning, and finally going through with the big day! Linus was flexible with dates after we had to cancel our original plans because of COVID, and even went along with a new location in a different city. The photos themselves are incredible, capturing the big moments and many other smaller moments that might have easily been missed.
Its also a brilliant touch to provide an easy to use app so we can access all our photos easily on our phones. Thanks again Linus, we are thrilled with the whole experience! Sam and Lily 01.05.2021

We can't recommend Linus highly enough! From the get go he was very clear and confident about what sort of service he could offer, and was just so easy to get along with. He was always very quick to respond to any questions we had, although we didn't have much to worry about as he is quite clearly a very experienced professional, well versed in how weddings tend to run.
He knew exactly where to be, when, to capture some truly stunning, natural and intimate human interactions/connection. He was a very calming presence on the day and never intrusive. In fact, most of the time, we didn't realise he was even taking our photograph at all, which is exactly what we had hoped for! He quite clearly is very passionate about his work and that is something you cannot buy. He will go above and beyond to capture your day in a truly beautiful and perfect way. We will always recommend him to anyone that asks.

From the very first conversation with Linus we knew he was going to do a great job with our wedding photography, and he didn't let us down! The photos we got back from our special day were really amazing and managed to capture all the memorable moments, from getting ready through to the evening party, so that we'll have them to treasure forever. What's more is we got our photos back really quickly (within 3 weeks) which was super, because once the day is over you just want to re-live it! If you looking for a wedding photographer, we couldn't recommend Linus more highly for your big day.

We had an idea to shoot some family pics at Corfe Castle, while holidaying from Australia. We found Linus online, reached out and were very glad we did. Linus was very easy to work with, great with our kids and produced a large number of high quality photos. Special memories and a terrific experience. Thanks Linus.

How a photographer can understand you so thoroughly in just a few short meetings is amazing. I knew when I met Linus that I needed him to be my photographer and it’s the best decision we made. The documentary style of his images speaks of the day how it really was. It’s not all glamour and posing, smiling for the camera. It’s capturing real emotions. Showing the day how it really was, from ugly crying to hysterical laughing! Linus managed to be invisible most of the day... there are shots where I didn’t even notice he was there!
Linus adapted to the day as it evolved including an impromptu speech by myself, and captured everything effortlessly. I would thoroughly recommend the photo film to anyone as it gives you audio of he day which can otherwise be forgotten! Amazing!!

I'm writing this review before I've even seen the finished edit because I just know they're going to be amazing. Linus was so lovely from first chat to the end of our day. We felt very at ease with him and that's saying something as my husband hates getting his photo taken! The first sneak peek photos came through after just two days and I love them.
His documentary style is exactly what we wanted, natural and fun and captured the essence of the day so much better than a posed shot ever could. He even travelled all the way from Dorset to the North of England. We recommend him 100% and cant wait to see the final edit. Thank you Linus

Linus is an incredible photographer. From day one of planning our Wedding he was engaged with our plans and we had a great meeting telling him all of our ideas right at the very beginning. On the Wedding Day Linus was calm, professional and a great presence to have around. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and we could not ask for them to be anymore perfect.
Me and my Husband are not the best in front of the camera, but Linus didn't make us stand and pose all day, he really captured the natural emotion of the day. Just like it says 'Subtle, Emotive and Raw'. We can't thank you enough Linus. Jacob and Grace Ralston 11.08.2018

Absolutely blown away by the amazing images captured by Linus. We literally can not stop looking at them! The most amazing days of our lives have been recorded in a way that we feel truly captures the spirit of the occasions, most incredible of all we didn't have to strike a single awkward pose, the events just flowed as they should while we all had an incredible time Linus just did his thing, and WOW didn't he do it well. Thank you Linus.

We were really impressed with the selection of beautiful pictures from our wedding day. From start to finish each picture really captures every moment of our special day. We were particularly touched when we came across a picture of our lovely old dog who sadly passed away not long after our wedding day.

Where can we start! Linus our wedding photos are absolutely amazing, beautiful and stunning and more than we ever wanted. You captured every detail, every emotion of myself, Matt and all of our guests. You took photographs which we didn't even know were happening. They are completely faultless, I would 1000000% recommend you.Thank you once again
Mike & Emily
From start to finish, Linus was an exceptional person to work with. Very patient and understanding of our needs and demands and delivered a result which was beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you so much Linus for your dedicated hard work that allows us to look back on our special day with breathtaking images.
William & Frankie
Linus was exceptional helpful and professional both in the build up to our wedding and on the day. He was very discreet when taking photos in the church and at the reception and I still can’t quite get my head around how he managed to dart across each venue without anybody noticing. We received the final copies of the photos as soon as we got back from honeymoon and are thrilled with the end result. I’d highly recommend him for any event you want capturing.
Anita & Naoto
We were delighted with our experience with Linus Moran and Associate photographers Oana and Vali. Linus and Oana communicated really well throughout the process and really put my mind at ease. I didn’t expect the process of having our wedding photos to be so fun, but we actually had a real laugh chatting and getting into poses! The final photos are fantastic – they really captured the fun atmosphere of the day, and managed to get a good variety of all the guests too. I would highly recommend Linus and Oana. Thank you so much for doing such a brilliant job!
