Rumour has it my pops got the spelling wrong when he went to register it (FYI it's pronounced Lu-eese - but I prefer Lu-eeee). I've got two pups. A pigeon-pair as we say in Norfolk (do they say that elsewhere too?). My gorgeous girl Amelie and scamp of a son Rui. Yep, I know his name is a little different - it's Portuguese too - thought I'd continue that odd little family tradition.
A really cool aspect of my job is that I get to meet people from all walks of life, they are all different but one thing that they all have in common (and I know this sounds a bit cheesy but there you go) is that they are all bloody lovely! These beautiful (and very generous) humans have very kindly popped some words down telling you all about me and my photography.
Typically covering the morning preps all the way through to the more raucous stuff later on. We can get to know each other over a cuppa or a beer somewhere. I can show you some of my work and you can let me know a bit more about your cracker of a wedding day. If you are a little further away maybe a 'virtual' hang-out with a video call would work well instead?
I've been out on lots of mini-adventures recently with some of the couples that have already booked me for their wedding day, and some other couples who just want to mark a moment in time and leave any potential wedding plans to the future. My couples shoots are open to absolutely anybody; engaged, thinking about getting engaged, un-engaged!
I'd love to know more about you guys. Your vibe, your likes, your life. Weddings are all about people, quirks 'n' all, and I want to know more about you both and your wedding plans! If you are happy to share any more about yourselves and your wedding plans that would be lovely - just pop it down in here.

Luis was brilliant on our wedding day. He captured all the different parts that made up our day and it was like watching our wedding day story unfold. We were made to feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera. Luis captured the parts we didn't get to see due to all the different excitement going on. Fast forward to now and we can't wait to watch our photos on the tv for our first anniversary with a new baby due a week before! Thanks Luis

Luis was an absolute dream to work with and we were so pleased to have him photograph our wedding day. From first meet, to the wedding day itself, Luis exceeded our expectations. His professionalism and quality of work paired with his kind nature and can do attitude, really made our experience special and seamless. We really cannot recommend him enough and are so pleased with our final photos. Everyone we have shared them with has commented on both the quality and style. Thank you so much Luis

Luis photographed our wedding earlier this year and we cannot recommend him enough. He was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding, great communication and flexibility. On the day itself, Luis was fantastic - discreet and efficient, capturing so much of day. The photos are amazing, we could not be happier with them!

Highly recommend Luis Holden Photography. Luis loves what he does an this shines through in his work. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple which shone through in all of our photos. Our pictures have a great balance; they capture the more intimate and serious moments as well as the impromptu and special memories. Thanks Luis! You made our day more memorable that we could have ever expected.

Luis was brilliant on our wedding day - not only does he take stunning photographs (that's a given), but he makes you feel incredibly comfortable. He put all our friends and family at ease, and we didn't notice him taking half the photos. Would really recommend if you're looking for a real professional who will put you at ease and deliver beautiful memories.

Picking a wedding photographer is not easy. A once in a lifetime day needs to be captured in such a way that every photo evokes a special memory. For a Bride and groom the day goes by so quickly that the need for great photos is so important so in 1, 10 or 50 years you can look back at the happiest day of your life. So when we got the photos back from Luis we were overwhelmed with joy and emotion. Luis didn't just take great photos, he captured great memories, feelings and emotions.
Every photo breathes life and soul. You get photos that tell a story and capture moments that you were too busy to take in. It takes you on a journey from morning to night as though you were reliving your wedding over and over. On top of that Luis was the the embodiment of a good time, happy and so willing to get stuck into the day. He knew exactly what he was doing and his experience speaks volumes. If you've planned a great day, you have to have Luis there to capture it. We can not thank him enough for the wonderful job he did.

Where do I start with our experience with the amazing Luis Holden? Throughout our wedding planning Luis was there to help and was flexible with our date/venue changes due to COVID. Luis was extremely professional and always there for advice about day timings or any questions that we had - and having Luis as an outlet totally put our minds at ease!
During our Wedding Day, Luis was literally everywhere - he must have covered a lot of miles on foot! With Luis, it was like having a friend behind the camera - we loved having him there and our guests loved him! During the day, Luis took us for Bride and Groom photographs and he made the experience so fun and that shines out through the pictures that he has taken.
Our pictures are literally better than we could have ever have imagined! We received a code to view them on the internet and have also received an amazing pack containing a memory stick, as well as printed photographs and a lovely message from Luis himself (I can't stress how brilliant he is). The photographs captured every moment of joy in our day and are just as good as a moving image - each picture captured an event and literally tells a story (we spent nearly 3 hours going through them and reminiscing).
If you are looking for a photographer who captures every magical moment throughout the whole day, Luis' docu-style photography is the one for you! Thank you again Luis and we hope to see you again soon!

Luis captured our small intimate autumn wedding beautifully. He understood exactly what we wanted, and went above and beyond to deliver this. We didn't feel uncomfortable at any stage, he just blended in and captured stunning shots without us feeling that anything had to be staged or unnatural. Everyone commented on how well he fit-in on the day, how lovely and personable he was, and what beautiful shots he captured. We made absolutely the best choice in asking him to be our photographer and couldn't be happier with the results.

Luis is an incredible photographer - the compliments we've received since sharing our wedding photos have been phenomenal. He genuinely engages in and enjoys the day (and also worked very well with our videographer). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend - his style is unique and we're blown away by the end product.
Thanks, Luis~

After getting engaged in 2017 we began the daunting task of finding a photographer to capture our special day and luckily I stumbled upon Luis after searching for photographers in East Anglia. After losing myself whilst browsing his incredible portfolio I excitedly called my fiancé to let him know I thought I’d found the perfect photographer for our special day.
I kept everything crossed that Luis was available and I was delighted after he promptly replied. The entire process, from confirming a booking through to photographing the day and sharing the photos afterwards, was seamless and totally stress-free. The photos are absolutely incredible and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you’re lucky enough to be able to have Luis photograph your wedding then be sure to soak up and enjoy every moment!

Lovely guy and outstanding photographer!
Luis was fantastic with all our guests, from the very young to the young at heart. So many of our guests commented on how great he was. We're over the moon with the quality and diverse range of images we have from our wedding day. Thank you so much for everything Luis, we couldn't have asked for a better service or end product.

Luis produced the most wonderful photos of my family that I’ve ever seen. I'm so happy that he was able to capture all the fun of my family just hanging out together by the sea. Besides the awesome photos, I have to say he’s such a nice guy and he goes out of his way to help people. I would highly recommend Luis if you want some cool family photos that are authentic, creative and anti-cheese.

Luis photographed our wedding in November at Farnham castle. From start to finish Luis was a joy and took beautiful photos which we haven't stopped looking at since we got them. He was so friendly, all of guests loved him and couldn't stop raving about him. He fitted into our wedding more like a guest and we hope we have found a friend for life. Such a top guy and so so talented. We can't say enough about just how good this guy is. We highly recommend him and if we could we would give him 10 stars
