I won silver at London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics.. now I’m making my way in entirely new career as wedding photographer
FOUR-TIME Olympic medallist Louis Smith has swapped gymnastics for wedding photography as he embarks on a new career path.
Britain’s most successful male gymnast, 34, claimed silver medals in the pommel horse at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Games after a bronze at Beijing 2008.

He also won bronze in the team all-round event in 2012.
Smith, who received an MBE 11 years ago, retired from the sport in 2018 at the age of 29, but was back on screen in 2021 when he won The Masked Singer.
He also has past experience auditioning for X Factor in 2008, before he won Strictly Come Dancing four years later and finished runner-up in The Jump in 2017.
But it is behind the camera that he has now begun a new venture as a wedding photographer.
The Mail have discovered the website for his business – which offers “portrait shoots, headshots and a range of photography services for businesses and events”.
And the bio reads: “I’m Louis Smith the Olympian and I’ve managed to find myself typing this bio trying to figure out how I explain how I ended up here.”
His website, which offers packages from £700 to £1400, states: “My goal is to capture the unique essence of your special day, creating timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.”
It goes on to add: “I invite you to join me on this artistic journey, capturing the magic of your wedding day through my lens.
