My style of wedding photography is deeply rooted in documentary storytelling. I am passionate about capturing your day's genuine emotions and natural moments without all the awkward poses or the photography controlling the day. I approach weddings with a relaxed vibe, blending in with your guests rather than fading into the background. I enjoy chatting with family and friends hearing their stories about our couples. This builds trust and breaks down barriers, resulting in authentic candid photos. One bride summed it up perfectly in a recent email: "I saw a review saying something along the lines of "you barely notice Steve at your wedding", however I had no idea how true that would be. A few times throughout the day something interesting would happen and I'd quickly exclaim "oh my gosh where's Steve?!" and every single time someone would say "right there" and point you out mere feet away from me. After a handful of times I stopped asking! I'm convinced at this point that you're able to teleport!"

During the day, I always have 2 cameras at all times, and every image I take is saved to 2 memory cards simultaneously. I separate these cards at the end of the day to prevent losing them. These are then backed up to a raid system in our office, A separate hard drive kept in our home (in case of fire or theft) and a cloud-based system; this ensures we keep everything safe after the wedding, and you never have to worry about corrupted cards or us losing your photos.

While I am primarily an Isle of Wight wedding photographer, I love to travel and cover weddings across the UK, Europe, and worldwide. Whether you're planning a local celebration or a destination wedding, I'm ready with my passport and camera to capture your special day. My documentary wedding photography style ensures that your unique story is beautifully told, no matter where you are.

Yes, absolutely! I encourage you to view a full gallery to get a true sense of my style. It’s important to see the consistency and quality of my work and how I handle different lighting, environments, and seasons. This will give you a better understanding of how your wedding photos could look and the reassurance that I can capture your day perfectly, regardless of the setting.

I have photographed over 150 weddings. This has never happened, but it doesn’t mean it couldn’t! With that in mind, I have a fantastic network of professional wedding photographers on the Island, south coast and mainland that I could call upon to photograph your day. They would be of the same level, quality and approach as me. They would photograph your day as planned using all the information and requests we would have already established. They would then deliver the RAW images to me to edit in my style, and I will continue the process until final delivery. I have never had to use this backup, but it is essential to have it in place.

My current timeline for delivering your full wedding gallery is 6-8 weeks. However, I provide a preview gallery within the first week so you can relive some of the special moments a little sooner. Times can vary depending on how busy the season is and where we are in the schedule. When we agree to photograph a wedding, we don’t do so lightly. We understand what an honour and a privilege it is to be a part of each wedding, knowing these are the images you will look back on with love and fond memories for years to come. You will hang them in your homes, show them to your children and grandchildren, and remember fondly loved ones who may no longer be with you. These will remain treasured memories for generations. This is why we never rush a wedding, no matter if it's the first or last of the season or how much pressure we are under. Every single image we deliver is always the best we can make, ensuring your wedding photos are perfect and timeless."

On average, you can expect to receive between 500-700 photos. I don't place a limit on the number of images; you will receive all of the unique moments captured throughout your day. Each photo is carefully hand-edited to make sure it looks its best, giving you a heartfelt and beautiful collection of memories from your wedding day.
