What People Are Saying

“Among my many favourite shots are the ceremony itself. You captured, scene by scene, our intimate emotions that day. Wedding photos are so important and these are ones which I know our future children will cherish.”

— Amy MArk

We could not have asked for a better photographer than Steve. He put all our guests and ease and got some excellent pictures. He was funny and relaxed me when he was getting some pre-wedding shots. I’ve not got all our pictures yet, but the highlights I’ve seen so far have been amazing. I highly recommend him!”
