From the moment we stepped into Tretower Castle, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We also knew we needed a truly exceptional photographer to capture its magic—and that’s exactly what we found in Steve. His breathtaking portfolio of locations across South Wales immediately drew us in, and the photos he took on our wedding day went far beyond anything we could have imagined. Every image radiates the joy, love, and sheer excitement of the day. Steve is not only incredibly talented but also warm, friendly, and deeply professional. We feel so lucky to have had him with us and couldn’t be more grateful for the memories he’s preserved so beautifully.

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin with Steve - he is phenomenal. I booked Steve 2 years out from our wedding and it was an instant feeling that I knew I had to have him as our wedding photographer. Booking was seamless, Steve was extremely friendly and as excited for the wedding as I was! Steve also sent across wedding hints & tips with recommendations of other suppliers which I thought was a lovely touch as wedding planning and scouting for suppliers isn’t as easy as it seems! I really wanted an opportunity to have a pre wedding photo shoot as both my partner and I are a bit awkward in front of the camera. When we first met Steve in person it was like we had known him all our lives, there was an instant connection, we spent the entire time laughing and giggling and the photos were INCREDIBLE! In the run up to the wedding Steve was in touch with me regularly, we spoke on the phone a week before to calm any of my nerves which was a great help, again it was just like talking to a friend. On the day of the wedding, when Steve came to photograph bridal prep, I instantly felt calm and relaxed in his company. He is such a professional and has this undeniable presence, seamlessly fitting in and making everyone comfortable. Steve really knows how to capture the ‘special’ moments, moments you don’t see as a bride or groom. The amount of really natural, candid photos I received in our wedding album were amazing. Steve captured the day for exactly what it was, fun, colourful and full of love, which Steve was part of 100%. Everybody commented on how professional, fun and approachable he was, and people are in awe of the photographs from our wedding. I was genuinely sad when the time came for Steve to leave our wedding day, it really felt as though he had become part of our family & friends in such a short space of time. If you haven’t booked your photographer yet, or are contemplating booking Steve for your wedding day, don’t hesitate any longer and book him. He was such a special part of our day and I can’t thank him enough for being as amazing, kind and lovely as he is. Thanks Steve, you absolute legend xx

Steve photographed both our engagement and our wedding and we are so thankful and glad that it was him. Looking back on our photos brings us so much joy as these happy memories are captured forever. I don't think Steve stopped smiling during our wedding day and all our guests said how friendly he was. All our photos were also received after just two weeks, which was amazing. We also purchased a wedding album off Steve which is SUCH high quality and we were able to customise it too, to make it our dream album 🌟 Thank you Steve!!!

Steve was so friendly, approachable, warm and professional. Steve was recommended to us by my husband's brother. When i went online to see his work, he had actually just taken photos for my friends wedding. His work speaks for itself, his photographs are beautiful. He makes it very hard tasks for you to pick the ones that you want to use in your albums and to print. Steve was a star and I would and will be recommending him to anyone that is looking for a photographer.
