Couldn’t have had anybody else!

Me and Matt have known Steve since school. I had recently received my motor neuron disease diagnosis, so it was a special day and we didn’t want anyone else for it! Steve made it happen and made sure we could have some private moments alone! It was beautiful and we wouldn’t have had it any other way, we couldn’t have had anyone else! I guess we would’ve had to if it came to it but we held out until last minute ! Just so we could have you! Not just that after my diagnosis and being so emotional and losing one of my other best friends just days before the wedding I didn’t know how I was going to be and I think if it had been any other photographer I probably would’ve shouted at them or something as it was such an emotional time but you made everything so calm. You kept me happy like you did above your job. I can’t even explain it but I know you will be able to put it into words.! because I most certainly cannot! I can’t express my gratitude for helping and letting us have those beautiful moments! X

The most incredible videographers!

We booked a last minute (within 5 months) wedding and assumed we’d struggle to get photographers and videographers whose work we loved… we were so fortunate! From the first messages Amy and Steve were lovely and really clear with what we would get for our money. We had a zoom call about 2 weeks before our day which really helped us visualise what we wanted. Our video is stunning, I cried from start to end and love being able to watch our day back on repeat. Thank you so much Steve and Amy, the job you do is incredible!

Made the day perfect and couldn't have asked for more

Highly delighted and pleased with everything. Made the day perfect and couldn't have asked for more. We thought the whole day was magical and it couldn't have been any better.

The best wedding photography

Steve and Amy made our wedding day so special because we have such beautiful photos to always look back on from the day. They somehow have this way of making you forget that the camera is on you whilst creating the most picture perfect photos. They captured the all the details from the parts you don’t get to see as the bride when the guests arrive and their excitement for the day, the bridal party prep in the room upstairs, the nervous groom at the end of the aisle. Every picture shares so much emotion that you can re live the day through them. The favourite part for me was our wedding album the quality and the attention to detail is just beautiful. I just can’t recommend them enough.

Absolutely brilliant

Steve and Amy are the absolute diamond duo. They kept me calm when I was feeling nervous, they managed to capture every detail of my day, and their working relationship with the videographer (We Are The Wild Weddings) just gelled so well! Would recommend to anybody!

The only photographer you'd ever want!

From the moment I got proposed to I knew the only person to capture our day would be Steve Cave! What was even better that we got Amy as well and there is no better duo then them two! We have known Steve for a very long time because he frequently attends events throughout Gloucestershire with his photo booth. No matter where I have met them, they are always the same great couple! They are the friendliest people you could ever meet! We had known Steve for a longer time than Amy, but we felt completely at ease around both of them. Amy has an amazing eye for detail, and her photographs of my jewellery and accessories are exceptional. She did a great job of capturing my grandmother's jewellery that i wore, it looked so beautiful! They are completely focused on you and your special day. Before our afternoon wedding, the couple had already visited our venue to shoot photos. Without being overly intrusive, they make you feel really unique. Steve even assisted my father-in-law in organising all of our guests for a drone photo that he desired to take.

Our wedding date moved twice due to COVID, but Steve and Amy still worked with us. Let's face it, if Steve and Amy couldn't make the date I provided them, I would find one they could, as nobody else was capturing our day! They really are the team you want at your wedding, nobody else beats them! Amy is that extra bridesmaid you want which automatically fits with you, they both would go the extra mile to get the best photos for you, nothing was too much trouble whatsoever.

Amazing photography for an amazing day.

We highly recommend Captured by the Caves as the photographers for your big day. Great quality of service. Steve and Amy were in regular contact to help us plan the day. We had an engagement shoot that really put us at ease about the main event. They were both wonderful to work with and got some great shots, it was a massive weight off our minds. When the big day arrived, Steve and Amy effortlessly synchronised to get some candid shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony and reception, we had some traditional shots with our nearest and dearest. Steve and Amy then blended into the party and caught the natural moments between family and friends that we did not want to miss during the rush of our wedding. They helped us have the best day and have stayed in touch to create our digital album.

Lovely humans to share your day!

We had Steve and Amy as our photographers for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We had some issues with our accommodation hosting a national golf event and they were so prepared and ready to tackle any issues to get there on time. Our photos are stunning, and they were very patient with a bride whose feet were in agony!!! The photos we didn’t know were being taken were magical and really captured the entire feel of the day and we couldn’t be more thankful!
The wait for the photos was a touch longer than we would of hoped for HOWEVER by booking a photographer who is worth the money charged, I would rather wait longer for the photos, and have the outcome we did, over someone who wasn’t half as good but get the photos back quicker!
Thank you both! We couldn’t be more grateful! Xxx

He traveled to make it happen!

Steve was just amazing! He was the first ti arrive to the venue, the mosque. He was not only talented, easy going, fun and lovely, but he was also very respectful of the different culture and made it so easy to artistically bring two different cultures together with lens. Steve is very dedicated and very passionate about what he does. This was one of the most incredible photoshoot sessions I’ve ever had in my life. No one could have captured my wedding better than Steve did.

Beautiful photos and lovely people!

Steve and Amy were amazing, everyone was so at ease with them and it shows beautifully in the photos they’ve taken! They are both so friendly and chatty they made it easy being in front of the camera which we are not used to at all. Having both of them there meant we have so many more photos than we expected, with some parts of the day they captured that we hadn’t been able to see ourselves until looking at our photos.
Their photos are beautiful and thanks to them we can relive our day over and over again!  They also included an engagement shoot which was such a lovely extra, got us excited in the lead up to the wedding and got us used to the camera! Thank you both for all you did!
