    Picture Perfect!

    We couldn't have asked for a better duo for our Wedding Photography! Sandra and Steve made us feel at ease right from the start of the booking process through to our special day. They both went above and beyond on the day assisting with crowd-control, helping me with my dress and even thinking to keep my bouquet fresh between photo opportunities.

    During our couples shots we even forgot pictures we being taken as it felt so natural and relaxed.

    Thank you so much Sandra & Steve for making our Wedding Day even more special!

    Stunning Photographs

    My husband and I got married at Colshaw Hall on 29.10.2024 and we booked SMH Photography to capture our special day.

    Before our wedding, my husband and I had a video call with Sandra and Steve to discuss the photographs we wanted and plan timings to enable all the guests to be ready for the group photos. They were also very quick to reply to any questions or queries we had and went out of their way to accommodate us.

    On the wedding day, both Sandra and Steve were so professional and warm to work with. Their skill as photographers enabled them to capture our special day perfectly and blend seamlessly into the background to catch those unique moments from our family, friends and children that we would have otherwise missed.

    When we received the photographs, they were beyond our expectations. We highly recommend SMH Photography to anyone getting married. Thank you so much.

    Thank you!!

    As soon as we had our first meeting with Sandra & Steve we knew we were in good hands and having not long received our photos, we are completely blown away!

    During the day they were professional but also fun! We were a little nervous to have to pose for so many photos but we felt completely at ease and quickly relaxed into it!
    Both our ‘traditional’ and the more casual photos are high-quality! We don’t even know where to start in picking the ones we want printed as they are all just amazing.

    Can’t recommend SMH any higher! 💖

    Absolute Perfection (and I’m also a photographer)

    It was soooo hard choosing our wedding photographer as I’m also a photographer! However I am so glad we picked Steve & Sandra, from the first point of contact we felt at ease like “they had us” they know exactly what they are doing and work seamlessly! They weren’t only photographers they were helping with all sorts and answering all my questions about what happens now, where do I go, how do we fasten buttonholes, these guys know EVERYTHING wedding! Honestly, there’s a lot of people who say they are photographers… but SMH are the real deal!! We are blown away with our photos and what nice people they are and how they fit into our wedding so well ! They even managed to get shots they knew we wanted despite the weather! We can’t thank you enough Sandra and Steve and wish you all the success for the coming years! Everyone …. BOOK SMH photography!!

    SMH Photography's reply:

    Absolutely Amazing people and Photos!

    Sandra and Steve were honestly incredible and I could of imagined having anyone else to capture our special day! From the beginning they were so helpful and if I had any questions they answered them straight away. On the day they were both so calm and friendly and new exactly what to capture. They took amazing photos of family and friends which I never knew about until I recieved my photos back which was so lovely to see! They asked me what photos I wanted and remembered to take them all on the day! And they took such perfect pictures of me and my husband and I'm so grateful! I honestly couldn't recommend these enough!! I'm so glad I went with them!
    Thank you both 😁

    Steve & Sandra are Fantastic

    We recently got married and have to say that Steve and Sandra were absolutely fantastic. On the day, they were professional and approachable all whilst getting amazing shots. They knew the group photos we wanted so were able to easily get our guests in to position without them feeling like they were waiting around. This was all down to the preparation Steve and Sandra did with us before the event. They made sure they captured every moment without putting pressure on anyone. Sandra always ensuring my dress was right throughout the day!

    Steve and Sandra were amazing throughout the day and it was a pleasure to have them both as part of our wedding
    .
    Our photos were ready less than 3 weeks after our wedding and the pictures were just amazing. We are so pleased with the result and our families are struggling to pick pictures they want as there are so many to chose from!

    We would absolutely recommend Steve and Sandra for any wedding photography!

    Best Photography Team

    SMH photographed our wedding at Owen House Wedding Barn. They photographed my sister’s wedding 7 years ago and we had no hesitation when it came to booking them for our wedding (the first supplier we booked after the venue). Their communication was the best from any supplier we had, emails were answered at lightning speed which was refreshing when you have so much to coordinate always chasing suppliers for answers. Steve and Sandra photographed from the getting ready, through to the first dance. Several guests (especially the bridal party) commented on how lovely they both are and what a relaxed atmosphere they effortlessly create. They are excellent at the stealth photograph you don’t even notice they are there so they capture little moments you don't expect to see, which is a lovely surprise when you get to review the photos.

    The weather was pretty bad on the day (heavy rain almost all day) but they adapted and worked to ensure it didn't affect our day. Their enthusiasm and commitment for achieving great photos was undeniable with several things to contend with- due to the weather we had to stay inside which made logistics much harder trying to organise 110 noisy guests. Sandra in particular was quietly persistent making sure we were on track with timings in a careful, unobtrusive way was was very helpful when we had to make our excuses to get away from guests for our photos together.

    They hadn’t photographed the venue before and it was clear to see, at our planning meeting a few weeks before, that Steve was inspired and looking forward to the challenge. We had a couple of ideas we liked which he gladly made work on the day. Our concerns about not wanting to be too posed were really taken on board and we felt like the photos were really tailored to suit exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos.

    We were absolutely delighted with the photos when the time came to view them. Steve and Sandra’s professionalism never waived throughout the whole process, maintained constantly with a level of warmth and care that can be hard to come by in the wedding industry. We would recommend to anyone getting married in the future and we cannot wait to see our final album. Thanks so much Steve and Sandra.

    Amazing!

    We have loved looking through our wedding pictures and re-living the day. Steve and Sandra are an amazing team. So personable yet professional. They truly captured all the emotions and special moments of the day. Especially given they had to travel to various locations. I really don’t know how they managed to do it. They worked tirelessly and still had smiles on their faces at the end of the night. Fabulous pictures. Memories we will cherish forever. Thank you Steve and Sandra. Cannot recommend you enough.

    The best photographers we could have hoped for!

    Steve and Sandra were the best wedding photographers we could have hoped for!! They were an amazing team together, and were really professional and organised - they kept the day on track but never in a way that felt rushed. Our photos of the day are amazing and we will cherish them forever! Thanks Steve and Sandra for capturing our special day for us so amazingly xxxx

    Captured our day perfectly and such a professional

    I can only say positive things about Steve and Sandra! From the first time we met them until receiving our finished albums they were nothing but professional and friendly.

    I was a very organised Bride and I was always sending emails to everyone involved in the wedding, Steve and Sandra were always the quickest to respond to any emails that I sent! I was always so surprised with how quick my questions were answered and I felt like I was made a priority. I was very grateful for this as the photographs were so important to me.

    I would regularly send ideas to Steve and Sandra and they always took on board what I was saying and understood exactly what I wanted. I was made to feel even more confident in Steve and Sandra during our pre-wedding shoot. Steve and Sandra had met us at our venue, they had never done a wedding their before so I appreciated them taking the time to look at everything and plan what photographs they would take. They kindly agreed to take our photos in a garden near to our venue. During this shoot we felt so comfortable with Steve and Sandra and we really enjoyed it! We were thrilled when we got to view the photos. There were so many great ones and I was so excited to show them off!

    I really appreciated how organised Steve and Sandra are, they helped me plan out the whole day and gave me tips about how things should run and on the day everything ran so smoothly.

    On the day itself I hardly noticed that Steve and Sandra were there when they were taking their candid shots. They were not intrusive and I was so pleased about this as I wanted to get gorgeous photos but still enjoy the day without having to leave to get photos taken all of the time. Throughout the day they were so professional and made everyone feel so comfortable.

    I was so pleased with the photos when we got to view them online. I found it incredibly hard to only choose the photos for our album! They were all so lovely and it was so nice to see moments from the day that I had missed. When I did eventually decide on the photos for the album we were so happy with the finished product. Each of the albums are absolutely gorgeous and we have had nothing but positive comments from everyone who we have shown it to.

    I am so pleased that we chose SMH photography and I have already recommended them to a friend. Jessica and Conal.
