Welcome to my site! I am a reportage wedding photographer based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and although from here I also take commissions from all across the UK and internationally.
I often get asked why I do what I do. Simply put, to be able to capture those fleeting unseen ‘once in a lifetime’ moments is where the real buzz in documentary wedding photography lies with me, it’s not a job, it’s a passion and one that I feel very privileged to have.
Having seen so many friends and family being let down by poor wedding photography in the past, I decided that it was time to raise the bar and to provide a service that I myself would only be happy with.
My aim on your wedding day is to blend in with the guests, taking photographs in a quiet and unobtrusive way. I am more than happy to take a handful of group shots as I appreciate it’s always nice to have some of these for the mantlepiece, and will undertake these in a quick and efficient manner, more often than not employing some of the ushers or best man to gather the guests as required.
I am not a loud or bossy wedding photographer pointing a great big lens in people’s faces all day long, nor do I use flash photography unless I really have to as I love to use natural light wherever possible.
“We don’t know what to say to get across how grateful we are and how amazing they look, they really are so perfect and beautiful – thank you so so so much! We really can’t thank you enough, Steve. They really are unbelievable – they are so perfect and everything we could ever have hoped for and more! Thank you very very much, I think we could keep saying thank you forever because we will always look at these images and treasure every moment that you have captured”

I have recently been accepted into the Wedding Photojournalistic Association (WPJA) who notoriously have strict entry requirements so am really pleased to become a member, and to join up alongside some of the leading documentary wedding photographers across the world.
I am also a member of the excellent Society of Wedding and Portrait Professionals (SWPP).
