Can't recommend enough!

Alex and Steve were absolutely incredible - my wife and I don't often feel the best about our appearances, but they made us feel a million dollars on our wedding day. All communication with them was fantastic and focused on our experience, and the final product was amazing too!

Incredible wedding photographers - highly recommend

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Bowden’s Photography – Alex and Steve – they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish!

Alex took care of all the staged and group photos with such calm professionalism, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed (even the camera-shy guests!). Meanwhile, Steve was brilliant at capturing those candid, natural moments and beautiful solo shots of our guests – many of which we didn’t even realise were being taken at the time!

Together, they made the perfect team – seamlessly capturing every angle of our day. They also worked brilliantly with our videographer, which made the whole experience feel effortless and smooth. They were both attentive and were amazing when taking photographs of our dog.

We’ve already received our first look sneak peek, and it’s absolutely stunning. It has us so excited to see the rest.

Would give 10 stars if we could!!!

We are so please we picked Alex and Steve to capture our day! From the first call with Alex, we knew we had made the right choice - and this was cemented during every interaction with both Alex and Steve.

They made us and our guests feel at ease, and knew when to get involved and snap the picture, and when to step back and capture the moments from a distance.

We were blown away to receive our sneak peak pictures within 48 hours and we cannot wait to see the rest!! We could not have hoped for better pictures to capture our day, exactly how we wanted it captured!

Don’t Consider Anyone Else

We chose Alex and Steve for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant. They were helpful and most accommodating with our requests, travelling a short way with us after our ceremony for photos on the bridge, giving useful suggestions for our order of the day, and even lending a hand cueing people at the right times for when we were walking down the aisle.

The whole day went great, and we have some fantastic shots to remember it by. They make a great team with a lovely variety of imagery, and we'd totally recommend them.

Phenomenal Photographers

Alex & Steve were everything we could have hoped for from our photographers! From start to finish, they brought a perfect blend of professionalism, warmth, and creativity that truly enhanced our day. Their personable and funny approach immediately put us at ease, and their incredible eye for detail ensured every shot captured was absolutely stunning.

The pre-wedding shoot was a fantastic bonus—it gave us the chance to explore different poses, understand our preferences, and feel totally prepared. This extra step really made a difference on our big day and allowed us to relax and enjoy each moment.

On the day itself, they were wonderful with our guests, engaging with everyone seamlessly while making sure the day flowed exactly as we envisioned. Communication was clear and consistent, and they went above and beyond to make sure every shot was exactly what we wanted.

We couldn’t recommend them more highly. Their commitment to capturing our day beautifully was evident in every single photo. Thank you for making our memories so picture-perfect! We have already had a sneak peak at some of the photos from the day, leaving us extremely excited for the full album!

Mark & Emma Oct 24

We were absolutely thrilled to have Alex and Steve as our wedding photographers! They were by far the best photographers we could have chosen for our special day. Their ability to capture our wedding vision so perfectly and create such stunning pictures was truly amazing.

From our initial call to the big day and beyond, their service was fantastic. It was really nice that Alex and Steve both captured our wedding day with their individual styles. It was such a pleasant surprise to receive a sneak peek of our photos just a couple of days after the wedding, which was a lovely touch. We couldn't have asked for more from this brilliant father and son duo. Highly recommend Alex and Steve for any special occasion!

Amazing Photographers!

Where do I begin, from the get go I knew from our first phone call that Alex understood what we wanted from our wedding photos and what he would capture on the day. Alex and Steve are such lovely guys, nothing seemed too much to ask for, from them. They were so accommodating to us and how the day was running, they were able to lease with the venue to plan around the day when we were going to do photos, considering that timings changed. Alex went above and beyond, and even got my lipstick for me as he was going to the bridal suit to get a piece of his kit. The photos we have received from our sneak peak, are above and beyond our expectations! We cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos and share them with our family and friends. We could not recommend them enough. Thank you Alex and Steve for capturing our wedding day!
