Most relaxed but perfect wedding photographer I've seen.

As the partner of the best man for Conor and Becky's wedding in May it was great to see how relaxed Steve was and just blended in. After the official photos any that we wanted sneaking in, steve was more than happy to snap away! Having seen a few sneak peak pictures, I cNt wait to see the others!

Organised and friendly service!

I play in a band that focuses on weddings and corporate events, so we regularly end up working alongside and meeting other suppliers and businesses in the same field. Weddings are often hard work on suppliers, as nothing short of perfection is acceptable and the hours of preparation often go unnoticed. Straight away I knew Steve was beyond dedicated to the bride and groom, their family, guests and all involved. He gets to know the couples he works with and you could see his work had been influenced by this. I've seen the edited shots and they are obviously beautifully framed and worked and technically great. But, you can be assured you will get a personal service as well. He wasn't intrusive or overbearing, and still managed to capture naturally beautiful and well presented photos. Memories to cherish!

Mr & Mrs Gulliver’s perfect wedding.

Steve did our wedding photos in June. When we booked our wedding we new he would capture our day perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about it. Steve understood that our wedding would be different to other people’s as we had a car theme, and it’s was perfect as Steve also shared the Love for cars. Steve was amazing with my questions, and how stressed I was the morning of the wedding. He was incredible from start to finish. Thank you so much! Our photos are beautiful and Steve captured every part of our day! Such a special day for someone so lovely to capture it all. Mr & Mrs Gulliver

Always fantastic

Steve and I have worked a lot of the same weddings and his photos of my cakes are always fantastic. As well as being a lovely guy he's an amazing photographer, his style is relaxed and captures all the genuine moments between couples and I always recommend him to couples asking for photographers.

Amazing, professional and friendly!!

Steve did our wedding photos in June. When we booked our wedding I knew I had to have Steve do our photos and we were so pleased he had our date free. I’ve known Steve for a long time and I knew he would capture our day perfectly and we didn’t have a worry or stress about it at all. I knew we were in good hands. He was amazing with my constant questions and requests and always had time to answer them, most of them weren’t even photo related but he was always there to offer advice. He was incredible from start to finish!! He calmed me down when my zip broke on my dress as I was leaving the house, he told me everything would be ok (I was having a melt down at this point) he reassured me, reminded me to breath and took my mind off the situation (my zip was fixed and I was only slightly late) Most of our guests commented on how good Steve was. He was amazing and I’m so glad he was part of our day. I honestly can’t thank you enough Steve, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you!!!!! Our photos are incredible and he captured our day beautifully. We look back on them all the time and remember our lovely day!! Love Mr and Mrs Hogan xx

His subtle presence captured the essence of a special day

If I didn't know he was there I wouldn't have noticed the 'professional photographer' at any point. There was no unnecessary hanging about waiting to be called, no intrusiveness. He captured the special spirit of the day and the absolute essence of the couple

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I couldn't pick just one! Every wedding and couple is unique in there own way and I love that! My favourite weddings though are the ones that are just for the bride and groom and really reflect their personalities.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

relaxed, natural, creative, photo ninja, fun,

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I am trusted to document one of the most important milestones in a couples life together, it is the biggest honour!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

This would be simply, be yourselves! Its your day and should be a reflection of that, don't let tradition and what you "should do" dictate your day. Do what makes you happy and you'll have an incredible day.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

There are too many to have a favourite but at a recent wedding a bride and groom hand made personalised shot glasses and filled with sweets to use as name places instead of a table plan, I loved that and have mine in my office! I also had a bride and groom that had a reading made up entirely of disney film quotes, it was incredibly creative and moving and a moment i'll never forget!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

This really does change with each couple as I approach every wedding and couple as unique. Typically though I like to meet with a couple first and make sure we are the right fit for each other, as a photographer you spend a large part of the day with the couple and they need to feel relaxed in your company. I use this time to go through previous work and determine what they like and dislike. Hear about plans for their day, ideas they have and discuss the best way to shoot the day for them. I give them info on how i typically shoot a wedding and safeguards i have in place on the day and after. If they decide to book I get them to fill out an information sheet, contact and most wanted shots form. I take a minimum £100 deposit and the remainder payable any point up to 1 month before the wedding. If any couples have images they would like to recreate I ask them to send them through to me as and when they like. If they would like a pre wedding shoot we usually do this between 4&8 weeks before the big day. If I've not been to the venue before I will visit before the day (sometimes with the couple) so I have an idea of the layout and best locations to shoot. I shoot all day capturing every moment of the day. After the day I edit all unique images and place on a usb inside a wooden keepsake box and also supply them with an online gallery to order prints, canvases or photobooks. Most weddings will take 8-12 weeks to complete and deliver.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Thats a difficult question!! The one that best shows their love of each other in the most natural way possible! That picture can't be posed or planned but I aim to find those moments at every wedding and capture them as they happen!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Bring an umbrella and embrace the rain! Its still the happiest day of your life rain or shine, and we can capture some incredible images you'll treasure for a lifetime.
