Best wedding photographer ever!!

Steph is the best photographer we have ever come across! We booked Steph for our wedding and we instantly fell in love with her natural photos. She has the best kind of personality you could want on your special day and we can’t recommend her enough! We are so glad she could be part of our special day! We felt like she was part of the family! 😂 one of the first things we said after getting married is we are gutted we’re not going to see Steph again.
If you’re getting married, you HAVE to let Steph photograph it! You will not regret it!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts not just being our photographer but for helping the day run smoothly, sharing the magic with us and bringing such a happy fun energy to each aspect!
We almost forgot to mention how spectacular the photos are. There’s not a moment that wasn’t documented. We will treasure these forever! Thank you Steph xxx

Couldn't have asked for more!

I could not recommend Steph more strongly! The process of booking her was very easy and having the preview shoot meant we got to know her in advance and were able to build rapport between the three of us. She was the absolute loveliest to have with us on our day, never intrusive, always smiling, calm - just perfect. It felt like having a close friend nearby. The photos she has delivered are unbelievable. She has captured everything from the tiny moments of joy through to stunnning couple portraits that we are amazed by. I don't know how many I'm going to be able to fit in the house!! If you're considering Steph don't think twice, book her immediately. Thank you for everything Steph!!

Sensational photographer

Steph was such a great addition to our day! She made everyone feel so comfortable and involved, it felt like having another family member there.

Not only did Steph do such an amazing job she really went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect.

Her communication and reliability was exceptional throughout the whole process and her skills are incredible. We all had such a great laugh the whole day and not once felt under pressure to get photos done a certain way.

I usually hate photos of myself and whatever steph did was a miracle as we both loved all our photos, and we are both very excited to share and look back over them with years too come.

So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being apart of such a special day

Fantastic photographer - hire her!

Steph isn’t just a photographer—she’s like your best friend with a camera, but even better. She captured every single moment of our wedding day with such perfection that looking at our photos feels like reliving the magic all over again.
We first met Steph when she photographed my best friend’s wedding, and from the very start, we knew she was special. She was warm, supportive, and effortlessly easy to work with—all while taking the most stunning photos. We fell in love with her natural, elegant editing style and her relaxed yet professional approach. So when it came to choosing a photographer for our own wedding, there was no doubt in our minds—we had to have Steph! We were thrilled when she was available for our date.
From the very beginning, Steph made everything feel seamless. She was incredibly responsive to emails, had a clear and transparent pricing structure, and put us completely at ease during our Zoom chat. Having an engagement shoot two months before the wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and Steph made the whole experience so enjoyable.
On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of amazing. She understood exactly what we wanted, from capturing intimate couple moments to organizing our many family group shots with patience and ease. Having a second shooter was a fantastic choice, allowing us to document both the groom’s preparations and more candid moments of our guests. Steph and her second photographer blended in so effortlessly that our guests felt completely at ease, resulting in the most beautiful, natural photos.
When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away—not just by the quality, but by the sheer number of incredible moments she managed to capture. Every emotion, every detail, every special interaction—it’s all there, preserved forever in the most breathtaking way.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, and a joy to be around, look no further. Steph is simply fantastic, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Calm, considered, all round wonderful photographer!

We are so glad we chose Steph as our wedding photographer. She was absolutely excellent - the photos are beautiful, everything was captured to perfection, and honestly we barely noticed her taking half of them during the ceremony, reception, and party! Steph has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and I felt very reassured to have her calm presence (and useful bridal tips!!) by my side as I was getting ready for the day. With Steph as our photographer, we truly had nothing to worry about!

One In A Million! Pictures To Last A Lifetime X

THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER ANY COUPLE COULD ASK FOR! Steph we cant thankyou enough for being incredible in every way! Thankyou so much for bringing all the small and big details back to life for us in all the incredible photos you captured of our big day. We will forever be grateful to you for giving us those memories to cherish forever. We would highly recommend Steph to any couple looking to get married if they want a photographer who is relaxed around them and gets the best pictures by only the simpliest of ques to get that perfect image. Steph takes her time getting to know you before the big day and getting to know how you are with the camera so that she can optimise this on the big day. Steph was brilliant at accomodating any photo requests we had and even on the hottest day of the year she kept smiling, laughing and shooting pics all day long. From the bottom of our hearts thankyou soo much Steph. Your incredible. Charlotte & Joe x

Stunning photos, highly recommend!

Steph was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire experience! She was SO easy to communicate with, always sending such prompt responses to any queries. During the wedding day she was amazing, taking really candid, natural photos of us and our guests. She gave brilliant direction during the group shots, making everyone feel comfortable and not awkward (which is very hard to achieve!) The pictures were beyond anything we could have imagined, and truly captured the essence of our day. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

5 Stars isn't enough!! Best wedding photographer ever!

We spent such a long time researching and trying to find the perfect wedding photographer and it was quickly evident that trusting someone with immortalising such an important day is quite a big deal.
As such, we were so happy to find Steph. Her candid, joyful photographs were exactly what we were looking for. We knew we'd hit the jackpot when we saw our engagement shoot photos and neither of us were quite able to believe that she could top it when our wedding photos came through.
WOW is a perfect descriptor for Steph's photography. It's cinematic, full of happiness and you captured the heart and soul of our wedding day. Her talent shines through every photo, each composition, lighting, and style looks so effortlessly crafted. It's so abundantly clear how much she cared about capturing the essence of us and the day.
Every one of our family and friends has commented on just how phenomenal our wedding photos are - even people at work who follow me on Instagram have made the effort to tell me!
She put us and our guests at ease from the outset, she really understood what we wanted from our photography and was kind enough to remember my good side haha! Steph made the whole process from the first communication to post-wedding easy and run seamlessly.
Steph is the friendliest, most diligent person as well as the most talented photographer, and we're so thankful and grateful to her for capturing our most important day so effortlessly.
We would recommend Steph in a heartbeat. To any prospective brides and grooms - choose Steph!! You'd be very silly not to. We had the absolute best experience, and now have the most incredible photos to cherish forever. You will be absolutely blown away!

Perfect photographer!

We cannot thank Steph enough for the photos she took on our wedding day. They are absolutely beautiful and capture all the emotion from the day. Steph made us both feel extremely relaxed and at ease and her style is such that she went unnoticed throughout the day. Steph is highly skilled and her quick turn around let us relive our day all over again. 100% recommend. Thanks again Steph!

The BEST photographer we could've asked for

We reached out to Steph after our two Miami-based weddings were postponed, and then eventually canceled due to the pandemic. Straight from our first meeting, I knew Steph would be a good fit for us - she was easy-going, self-deprecating, and just incredibly likable - all qualities we wanted in the person who would spend most of our wedding day with us.

We had our engagement shoot just days before the wedding, and despite not knowing the area, we ended up with some stellar shots. We'd previously had two different photographers in the US do engagement shoots for us, and neither had done as good a job as Steph.

Then when the big day arrived, Steph was the picture of calm, and professionalism. She made our guests, and family smile - and got the most gorgeous shots of both of us. She turned around our sneak peeks in just a day or so, and we knew instantly all of our photos were going to be perfect. Steph is brilliant - and I would implore anyone to hire her for their wedding day.

5 Stars all round!

Steph was totally amazing - we really can’t thank her enough! Her photography was beautifully natural and I literally didn’t even notice her taking the photos, but she captured the joy, love and fun of our day perfectly. I think there’s a photo of every single guest either laughing or crying or a bit of both - totally invaluable memories! She also went above and beyond on the day: she was so supportive in the morning and was discreetly there for us to check-in or laugh with throughout the day. We are so glad we found her - my brother has actually already booked her in for next summer! If we ever do a vow renewal or baby shower or anything, we are booking Steph!

Natural and Professional- 100% recommend

Steph fitted in well with guests. Nothing was too much trouble when asked and she put my husband at ease straight away (who is shy with photos). We loved the pictures, so had great difficulty trying to pick our favourite. Everyone has given positive comments looking at the final pictures. These were very natural and professional. We were very impressed by the speed of delivery of the sneak peaks, then slideshow/gallery. I would 100% recommend Steph.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
