MEET LUKE AND HIS TEAM, INFORMATION AND CONTACT

A skill can be learned, a talent is something you can’t help doing

I’m Luke Wayne, owner and lead photographer of Luke Wayne Photography. Photographing couple’s most important life events has been my career since I left the West Coast in 2010. My studio is in a historic commercial building in Collinsville, Connecticut. I’m published, rated with both Wedding Wire and Knot and a member of the Connecticut Professional Photographers Association

This page focuses on who I am, how I feel about my work and the way I capture a wedding. Don’t forget to take some time to view some of my full weddings on the blog. If you enjoy my photography and think we would work well together, reach out. We’ll get started.

FLOW

No two clients are the same

My process is organic. Planning is always important but great pictures are often born in the moment. I may find or make beautiful light to put you in. Pose you a bit. Or let everything happen spontaneously. Either way I capture it all and the result is something relaxed and genuine.

LIGHT

My guiding......

Light motivates me to make something beautiful. I follow the shine, the shadows and softness that is offered in order to create something authentic. A great photo has deliberate composition, honest emotion and above all a light that complements the scene. The fleeting glow suggests mood, sculpts scenes, draws the eye and adds drama. I am always moving after or before the light, working to create.

Investment

On average my clients spend between 3-4k on my services. The kind of couples I attract place a high value on their wedding photographs and experience. Yes, I did say experience. A big part of my job is to make sure you enjoy taking your wedding photos. I need to add to the atmosphere of your wedding and make you beautiful images efficiently so you can enjoy your family and friends. Afterwards you are left with my work and your memories of a wonderful day that cannot be repeated. 

No two couples are the same so I pride myself in creating custom packages that fit exactly what you want. Please reach out through the contact form at the bottom of this page or email luke@lukewayne.com and I would be glad to forward you more specific pricing and information :-)

My Studio at 51 Bridge Street Collinsville, Connecticut

I bought 51 Bridge Street in 2014. I love this building. It was built on a perch over the Farmington River in the late 1800’s. I started renovating a few years ago; thought I would never finish. It has the original quarter sawn floors. Old doors. The locks and knobs are from that long ago era as are the 1800 century architectural lines. My studio space is on the first floor where I meet clients for the first time and begin lifelong relationships.

A living room with blue couch, photos on wall, and a bicycle. Hardwood floors and white bookshelves are visible.

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU
