Lumen Atellier

Lumen Atellier is a fine art and documentary wedding photography studio founded by Chip Radoslavov, based between Liverpool and Cheshire and available for weddings across the UK and internationally. With over fifteen years of experience photographing weddings on both sides of the Atlantic, Lumen Atellier brings a calm, unobtrusive presence to every wedding day and a genuine passion for capturing the moments that actually happened, rather than the ones that were arranged for the camera.

The photography style at Lumen Atellier sits at the intersection of fine art and documentary. Every image is approached with a careful eye for light, composition, and emotion, while remaining completely authentic to how the day felt. Nothing is staged, nothing is forced, and no two weddings are ever photographed the same way. Chip works quietly throughout the day, moving through each moment without interruption, which means couples and their guests quickly forget there is a photographer present at all. The result is a collection of images that feel less like a record of the day and more like a way of stepping back into it.

Every wedding collection includes full day coverage, typically running from twelve to fourteen hours, starting with the morning preparations and continuing through the ceremony, portraits, reception, and evening celebrations. Couples receive a substantial gallery of fully edited, high resolution images delivered through a private online gallery, along with a lifetime personal usage licence that allows them to print and share their photographs freely with no restrictions. A selection of preview images is sent within two weeks of the wedding, with the complete gallery following within eight weeks.

In addition to wedding photography, Lumen Atellier offers engagement and couples sessions, which give partners the opportunity to spend time in front of the camera in a relaxed, unhurried setting before the wedding day itself. These sessions are popular with couples who feel nervous about being photographed, as they provide a natural way to build comfort and confidence before the wedding. Engagement sessions are also ideal for Save the Date images and can be booked as a standalone session with no wedding booking required.

Family and lifestyle photography is also a core part of the Lumen Atellier offering. Sessions are available as outdoor lifestyle shoots in locations that hold meaning for the family, as in-home sessions that document everyday life in a natural and unposed way, and as shorter mini sessions for those who want something more relaxed and seasonal. The approach across all family work is the same as the wedding photography: patient, observational, and completely free of forced poses or artificial setups.

Lumen Atellier serves couples and families across Liverpool, Cheshire, Manchester, and the wider North West as its home territory, with regular bookings throughout the UK and experience shooting internationally across Europe and beyond. Enquiries are welcome for all wedding dates, elopements, engagement sessions, and family photography bookings through the website at lumenatellier.com.
