We are the mchendrys
We are Lu and Ben, partners in Business and Love!
We are Full Time Uk and Destination Wedding and Elopement Photographers and Videographers.
We aren’t your standard Photo + video team, We aim to make our Films and Photographs ultra stylish, modern, and full of life, love and honesty.
AN UNDEFINED STYLE
We don’t tend to stick to a specific style because every couples story is so different, we make sure the way we shoot, interact and edit reflects who are couples are and how things actually felt.
For example - A BOHEMIAN DESERT wedding would have a very different feel to a chic city wedding.
our work tends to have a modern feel with a little nostalgia, we like our photographs to have a feeling of real film and with a little fashion/ editorial influence.
We don’t do traditional BUT we do timeless. our RELAXED way of shooting and our NATURAL editing style means your photographs and films will never date. we like our tones to be natural, organic, and true to life, reminding you of exactly what everything looked like on your wedding day.
We are there for YOU! We are not there for our vision or to get the best shot for our insta feed. We are there + always will be there for the LOVE
We make memories for YOU!
NO-ONE IS GOING TO GET BORED OF LOOKING AT YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS AND VIDEO!
We create AUTHENTIC, MODERN, CANDID + Creative Photographs and Films.
when you look back at your photographs and films you will be reminded that you lived your BEST LIFE on your wedding day,
We love working with creative, modern and laidback lovers who don’t follow traditions and like to break the rules.

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO!
As a couple ourselves it Definitely comes natural to us capturing peoples connection and awesome love for eachother. We feel so lucky that people invite us into their world to capture their most special days of their lives.

Pizza, Tacos, Tapas, Jagermeister!
We are lovers of all music , and we love to have our own jam sessions with our guitars!
We live in the woods in a little town in the North west of England but spend a lot of time in Spain where Ben grew up, and the South of England where Ben has family.
We also spend a lot of time seeing as much of this incredible world as we can :)
Have we mentioned we love a good party?! We are THE PARTY STARTERS! And we have all kinds of tricks up our sleeves to get your dance floor going wild! A crowd surf always works a treat if all else fails! :)
We feel so blessed to live our dream and travel the world together whilst making new friends along the way.
Destination Weddings and Adventurous Elopements means we get to meet so many Cool people from different places in the world.
Celebrating + capturing the adventure of love, marriage + life together is AWESOME!
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO US ...
Is that your photographs and films feel ALIVE ...We want to make you FEEL something, to take you back to that moment and to feel what you felt. We want to create something that makes you relive YOUR BEST DAY over and over again!
We become more than just one of your wedding suppliers, we love to make friends with our couples , and that really helps us capture you at your best, having fun, laughing, dancing and being your authentic selves. Thats when the magic happens.
We promise you we are going to have FUN! the natural way we shoot is heavily focused on REAL moments, we wont be that creepy photographer and videographer that stands AWKWARDLY in the corner, we chat with you and your guests and make sure it feels like we are friends at your wedding.
We are not about stiff, awkward, stagnant poses, because those arn't the photos + films that give you goosebumps and make laugh till you cry. We are about capturing the real stuff! The quirky, teasing, loving, fun, unique love that you have. The drunk moments, the Loud moments, the quiet moments and all the in-betweens.
