The business

Stacey shoots weddings as a photographer and a videographer.

In April 2026 I fixed a problem on her old site, and she left the review shown here. Then I rebuilt the site.

He kept me updated throughout the process and has given me help and advice to prevent it happening again.

What I built

The new site has:

  • A showreel.
  • A films page.
  • A pricing page.
  • Pages for the areas and venues she covers.
  • An availability form that asks for the wedding date and the venue.
  • A blog and an FAQ.

Galleries from Google Drive

The portfolio galleries come from Google Drive folders, so Stacey can put new shoots up from Drive without waiting on me.

How it works day to day

A couple can watch the showreel, look at the pricing and check a date. The form asks for the wedding date and the venue, so Stacey has the basics when the enquiry arrives.

For a photographer, the site is a portfolio first. The work goes large, the price is easy to find and checking a date takes one short form.

What Stacey says

The Lovely Photo Company website

I’m so happy with my website. Luke has been so brilliant throughout the full website building, he was very detailed in the planning stage and aesthetically creative for the design. My website is a huge improvement on my previous one, it flows incredibly well and he has designed it with my target audience in mind. Not only that, but Luke’s communication was top throughout and kept me updated at all stages. I would highly recommend Luke

Built with

This site runs on WordPress with Elementor, a drag-and-drop page builder. I pick WordPress or Next.js for each job, and here is how websites are built.

On every website I build, I work to the same terms. The web address is registered in the client's name from day one. The site and everything on it, the files, the words and the photos, belong to the client once it's paid for.

Want something like this?

I build websites for photographers and creatives. If your current site is hard to update or hides your work, I also redesign websites.

I reply the same working day, in UK hours.

Or ring 07935 996850. If I can't pick up, leave a message or WhatsApp me.
