Sandra & Steve, you are incredible!
When we first started to plan our wedding, we found that the amount of photographers to chose from was overwhelming. However, from the moment we found Sandra & Steve, they made us feel relaxed, calm and put all our worries to bed.
From Instagram messages to emails, to zoom calls and a pre-wedding photoshoot meeting they were lovely from start to finish. On the day of our wedding after over a year of preparation they were an absolute dream and all of the wedding party commented on how lovely they were.
During the wedding they listened to us, understood exactly what we wanted, got the pictures that we wanted to get and made us laugh / feel comfortable in the process.
We wouldn't of had it any other way and if we were to redo our wedding all over again we'd have them as our photographers every single time. Thank you Sandra and Thank you Steve.-

Thank you both so much for such an incredible review and for taking the time to write it. ❤️.
It genuinely means so much to us to know that we helped make the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, from those first messages right through to your wedding.
We absolutely loved being part of your day and capturing everything you wanted, and it was lovely to hear that your wedding party enjoyed having us there too. You were both such a pleasure to photograph, and we’re so lucky that you chose us to be your photographers.
Thank you again for having trusted us with such an important part of your wedding, we’re incredibly grateful. 🥰

Our very own superhero’s!!
The most incredible photographers and two of the loveliest people we could have asked to be part of our wedding day.
There are so many people we want to thank for making our wedding so special, but Sandra and Steve deserve one of the biggest thank yous of all.
From the very first time we met them, both of us felt like we were in safe hands. They have this incredible ability to make you feel completely relaxed and comfortable in front of a camera (something that definitely does not come naturally to either of us).
And then we saw the photographs.
Honestly, we were completely blown away. The photos are so wonderful and the fact that they are actually of us is something we still can’t quite believe. They captured our wedding day so perfectly.
But what makes Sandra and Steve so special is that they are so much more than photographers.
At various points throughout the day, they became our personal bodyguards, dress fixers, flying ant swatters, cheerleaders, problem solvers and general superheroes.
They worked tirelessly throughout the entire day making everything feel effortless. They kept us laughing, knew exactly when to step in and when to simply capture a moment unfolding naturally. They brought such kindness, fun and energy to the day, and we loved having them there.
It’s easy to look at a photograph and forget about the incredible people behind the camera who made it possible. We certainly won’t forget them.
Sandra and Steve, thank you for giving us photographs that we will treasure always, but even more than that, thank you for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day. You helped make it so completely us.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found you both and would recommend you to anyone without hesitation. If you’re looking for photographers who don’t just take beautiful photographs but care about the people they’re photographing, look no further.
With all our love,
Hannah & Millan

Hannah & Millan, what an amazing review, thank you both so much. ❤️
It was such a pleasure being part of your wedding day, and we’re so pleased you felt relaxed enough to simply enjoy it all and let us capture everything as it happened. We had the best time with you both, and we’re still laughing at our many roles throughout the day particularly the flying ant swatters! 😂
Knowing that you love your photographs and that we helped make your day feel so completely ‘you’ means more to us than you know.
Thank you for trusting us to capture such important memories, and for being such a wonderful couple to photograph. We absolutely loved being your photographers.
With lots of love, Sandra & Steve ❤️ -

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!

Thank you again for trusting us to capture such a special day. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more lovely couple to work with, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.

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!!-

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.
