Wedding photography

We used Ste for our wedding photography in August 2024. He did such an amazing job, we were so delighted with our pictures and loved the range from candid shots to poses. Ste was friendly and responsive and he also worked well with our videographers to capture our special day. Thank you very much. Would highly recommend!

More than worth it!

Ste was absolutely fantastic! It was a straightforward process of bringing him on. He sends a checklist and works out details about your needs for the day then made sure to chat to both of us to get used to him and work out the best shots. On the day, I received nothing but praise for how nice and professional he was from my guests, and the photos themselves turned out amazingly.

He prioritizes candid shots for the most part, but expect to be stolen for shots of just the married couple on the day.

Brilliant!

Made the day run so smooth, from the start till the end Didn't have to panic about not having certain photos done. And photos we didn't expect and some very funny ones too. Even let the kids have a go on the camera as well. They definitely loved it!

Thank you

Great Photographer

From the first interaction with Steve he was very friendly, responsive and professional. At the time he hadn't done many weddings though we were impressed with his other photography examples and took up on his introduction offer he had on at the time. Over the months we were able to see more examples of his wedding work, which were gorgeous, so we knew that gut feeling was a good one.
In our package we had an engagement shoot included, which was great, it gave us the chance to meet Steve in person and get to feel more comfortable with him and in front of the camera before the big day. We used this opportunity by meeting Steve at an open even of our venue. As Steve hadn't been to our venue before it gave him the chance to have a good look around and get ideas for perfect shots for our big day. Even though we felt quite nervous and conscious infront of the camera he made us feel relaxed and at ease. We were hoping for a couple good shots from this engagement shoot to use for our table plan, Steve knew we wanted natural and made a suggestion which worked, and made it onto our table plan!
He was very professional throughout the whole lead up, we filled in a couple forms with our hopes and expectations, and he caught our day exactly how we had hoped.
The day of our wedding, he was prompt and blended in, we didn't notice he was there, he caught so many natural shots, managed to flit between bride and groom and a variety of guests.
Despite having a summer wedding which turned out to be very wet, he still managed to get us outside for some photos - we were sheltered but he must have got soaked. He also made use of other areas in our venue which worked great. He had a good eye and we went along with suggestions he could offer us.

As soon as the rain held off he was quick enough to suggest the group photos outside while we had the chance. And again later when there was a gorgeous sunset for some beautiful memories.

We have absolutely loved looking through our photos and re-living our day, Steve captured such special moments, any editing we requested hasn't been an issue for him to resolve, and we are genuinely so happy we booked with Steve.

Great Person, Great Photographer

Me and my now husband met Steve just to discuss what we would like from him for our wedding. We knew after our meeting he was right person.
Steve is a great person & professional, very patient and also listens to what you want and more. The photos were brilliant, he was great on the day.
Memories for ever.
Well recommend him anytime. Thanks and appreciated

A real pleasure to have photograph our special day

From the very start Ste was only interested in knowing what we wanted, what type of people we were, what we liked what we didn’t want in our photos, was it formal or relaxed, everything he did was aimed to giving us the best photos of our special day, he blended in with the reception guests and got some brilliant photos of friends and family that you can’t get when you ask someone to pose, if your thinking of hiring a photographer for your special day, then I’d recommend you stop looking and book Ste while you still can!!

Ste recently took our photo's for our wedding. He was brilliant from my first initial contact with him, right througout. He was fantastic on the day, arriving in the morning to capture us getting ready and stayed all day.
He was really professional and took lots of photos. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Swann

Best day of our lives

Ste helped us to make this day that little more special as he worked all day capturing our day from start to finish. The end result were some of the best moments we had caught on film to save for ever.
