Hi, I'm steve

Wedding Photographer Bridgend, South Wales | Natural, Storytelling Wedding Photography

Wedding Photographer Cardiff, Bridgend and South Wales. Based just outside Cardiff but will but travel all over the UK to capture your story.

It’s always great to cover weddings at all types of venues across the country as it keeps my photography fresh. The quirky the venue the better. I offer relaxed and natural wedding photography. This means I let you enjoy the day without me taking too much time away from your guests.

I like to capture the interaction between the newlyweds in the most unobtrusive way. Your day will be photographed in a way that you didn’t even realise I was there. I will make sure there is time for you to chat with your guests, have a quiet moment to yourselves, have fun with creative portraits and most of all enjoy the party.

I meet with all my couples to discuss what style of photography they like and what they don’t like. Let’s face it not many people like having their picture taken. So I make sure all my couples are relaxed in front of the camera with a few jokes thrown in here and there. You have to feel relaxed with your photographer, if you do they will capture those intimate and funny moments in the most natural way.

My Style is Creative, Fun and Emotive Wedding Photography – Most couples who book with me say they chose my work over everybody else’s because of the unposed natural and relaxed style of my wedding pictures.

How would you describe your style?

Creative, Fun and Emotive Wedding Photography - Most couples who book with me say they chose my work over everybody else's because of the unposed natural and relaxed style of my photos. I don't do many stylised photographs that look they are from a magazine because it doesn't portray the personality and emotions of the couples in the pictures.

I like to capture the day as it happens with a little direction from myself to get that perfect shot. I like to capture the interaction between the newly weds in the most unobtrusive way. I want to capture the smiles, laughter and tears.

What do you love about weddings?

Meeting new people, capturing that moment in time that only happens once.

Steve is amazing! Definitely go for him, we love our pictures!

Steve photographed our wedding in November and did an incredible job. We're so happy with the shots he captured and our family and friends absolutely love them as well. We hired Steve to capture more natural looking shots and we are so happy with the end result. Steve did a great job making sure people were where they needed to be and worked tirelessly to ensure we got the best shots before the weather took a turn! Steve, thank you so much for everything you've done, we are so grateful!

Steve is an incredibly talented, passionate photographer which can be seen in all of his photos.

Steve is an incredibly talented, passionate photographer which can be seen in all of his photos. He has a way of capturing those raw emotions and moments that are truly breath taking. He seems to be able to take photos of everything and everyone without ever being rushed or in the way. When it came to our couple photos, he made us feel calm and relaxed and made it a time where we could run away and just be ourselves. No staged photos! We could just be with each other, laughing and smiling on the happiest day of our lives. We have received so many glowing compliments about the photos, he’s made it so difficult to choose which ones to put on the wall!

He is really professional, on time and ready to go. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!! Thank you so much, Lauren and Ali

Steve was just the most incredible wedding photographer! He took the most wonderful photos of two people who really aren’t good at getting their photo taken. Steve was so friendly and slotted right into our day. The photos came out better than we could have ever imagine and we will cherish them for our lifetime. The communication with Steve was great, especially in terms of putting our minds at rest regarding COVID (and the Welsh weather)! We could not recommend him enough. Thank you so much for everything Steve.

We genuinely can’t recommend Steve highly enough. If you want a stress free fun day that flows with virtually no interruptions, and what minimal “allocated” photo time there was,was made fun and relaxed …easy…totally enjoyable then Steve is the photographer for you

We genuinely can’t recommend Steve highly enough. If you want a stress free fun day that flows with virtually no interruptions, and what minimal “allocated” photo time there was,was made fun and relaxed …easy…totally enjoyable then Steve is the photographer for you .The reality is you won’t even know he’s there capturing those priceless special moments.
His powers of observation and skilled eye for detail means he catches with his lense not JUST a photo but a split second in time which will bring flooding back all the fantastic atmosphere and emotions of that moment ….but not just for a one off …every photo has been captured as he’s blended in with your guests and observed your special day unfold preserving the finer details, the glances, smiles, tears, belly laughs touching of a face, embraces …..just all the tiny jigsaw pieces that make up your totally unique Day / night.
When I first met Steve he said he strives to ” tell the story of your Day ” ….if I’m totally honest I didn’t fully “get it” but I instantly liked his enthusiasm. Then we saw our wedding photos and NOW I totally 100% “get it ” ….Steve told our story ! And what I think is testament to his talent is if you look through his wedding story each is completely unique and individual …Not a one size fits all ….Steve is a skilled taylor of a photographer. Steve we are so glad we found YOU.
