We didn’t want to postpone our wedding in October as our heart was set on getting married this year.
Jack made the entire process simple so that we could easily plan our wedding photography exactly how we wanted it and very last minute.
He helped us to split our wedding bill so that we could still get married this year and revisit the idea of our celebration at a later date. Without any of the worries you would normally have about losing your deposit.
For rehearsal and on the day he was punctual, completely understanding the entire way through, and flexible. It was obvious to us that he takes a lot of pride in his work. We found his instructions on how we should ‘be’ on the day easy to understand. We are very happy with the end result, even with our toddler running amok at times. We especially like the edited photos which gave us a strong traditional look.
If you are considering a partnership right now and you’re not sure if you want to take the risk on expensive wedding photography we highly recommend you speak to Jack first about your concerns and keep your big day in the diary.

what a photographer Jack is...we hired him for our wedding and he was amazing! we originally had a guest list of 74, but was reduced to 11 due to covid19, he is professional, courteous, polite, reasonably prices, HILLARIOUS, full of initiative, and generally a pleasure to be around, we felt so comfortable with him and the pictures he took were beautiful. wonderful experience, thankyou so much!

we are so happy with our wedding photos. Jack was super efficient on the day to get the shots he had in mind and it was all worth it. Great packages, very high professional standards but what struck us most about Jack is that he is really proud of his work (rightly so), it means it was special to give that part of our big day to someone who was totally on board. My only regret is that I didn't book him from morning preparation till first dance! About the pictures, the one word on family and friends was "stunning". Thanks Jack for making our memories look so beautiful and lively. More...

My now wife and I came across Jack at a wedding fair. We were instantly wowed by his work and character and knew that we had found our photographer. Numerous meetings and briefings later (all worth it) Jack and Ollie photographed our day and albeit over 4 months ago now, the pictures take us back instantly. Jack is a complete professional. He was even able to get fantastic photographs of our dog and of my wife's younger siblings (all of whom never sit still)! Ollie is also brilliant, when Jack came to photograph the men getting ready he was left behind with the bridal party (a very brave man). We would have no hesitation in recommending Lux Vita for any photography and will definitely use Jack again. More...

When we first saw Jack at a wedding fair we could not believe the quality of his work and how bespoke the album's looked. From start to finish Jack has been amazing . He made us both feel comfortable and at ease on our big day and during the months before, it was like having a family friend take our photos on the day! We could not be happier with the products we have received. We definitely made the right choice picking Jack as our photographer. We would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for your hard work. Mr and Mrs Mainwaring. ???? More...

Jack is amazing!! He photographed our wedding day along with his assistant Ollie, every detail was perfect. Even our guests were saying how much they loved him. When we got our photos back I almost cried they were so good. I now consider jack a friend. I cannot recommend him highly enough, if we ever need photos doing for another occasion he will most certainly be our first point of call. More...

Jack takes amazing photographs. We love the family shots that he has done for us. He was really patient with our 2 year old son and captured his character perfectly.

Just wanted to tell everyone how delighted my husband was with the beautiful picture of the 'trees in the mist'. You are a master at capturing images through a camera lens Jack. The picture has pride of place in our house. Every time we look at it in a different light another part of the image grabs you! How the heck do you manage that magic :) Thank you once again - very very happy customers More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret of take great photo is to utilise “beautiful quality lighting” with “attention to detail” approach and the desire to “tell a story with the images”.
Making an image is to recording light, quality lighting and the knowledge of its nature is paramount to producing a beautiful image. To properly make the image, attention to detail is essential in order to produce the best final result. Recording the light isn’t the aim of taking a great photo. It should convey a story, capture the moment along with its meaning.
What do you love most about your job?
I love making photographs, the creativity and my passion for photography. That passion translated into the satisfaction of knowing a job well done when clients treasure the memories I have captured. For the commercial projects; it’s the fulfilment of knowing that my images are being utilised in various uses.
What inspired you to start your own business?
A combination of my love for taking photographs and the validation from the professional photography organisation such as BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photographer) and RPS (Royal Photographic Society) where they have awarded me "Associateship"; the proof of myself as a photographer at higher level of creativity and ability. In addition, many national and international awards I have accumulated over the years. The result is the confidence in my ability to create great images for the paying public.
Why should our clients choose you?
I work on every projects like it is my own; a wedding, a portrait session or commercial assignments.
My attention to detail approach will bring high standards of quality to the photographs. In addition, I maintain communication with my clients for greater understanding and implementing of their requirements.
I am also an "Associate" member of BIPP (British Institute of Photography), an organisation that promotes and elevates professionalism in the pro-photographer community.
