    You NEED Ste to photograph your wedding! After our first phone call with Ste, we instantly knew that we wanted him to capture our special day. His professionalism, portfolio of high-quality photos, and fun and friendly nature made him stand out above and beyond. We wouldnā€™t have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. Photos of your wedding day are such an important memory, and ours have turned out better than we could have imagined thanks to Ste šŸ˜Š We are so so grateful and wholeheartedly recommend him. Heā€™s a top guy whoā€™s photography mastery will exceed your expectations. Grazie Ste!

    I simply cannot recommend Ste enough. From the first call, I knew he fully understood what we wanted and would capture our day perfectlyā€¦And he did! He is such a nice guyā€¦ so calm and chilled but so passionate and professional. He was amazing with our little girl and all our family and friends were so happy to have Ste around during the day. I had never considered how important it was to feel at ease with your wedding photographer but itā€™s a massive thing! And the final photographs are incredible. Iā€™m so so pleased we chose Ste and canā€™t thank him enough for capturing so many amazing memories of our special day!

    Ste was outstanding from start to finish! He was really easy to work with, was incredible at making us feel at ease both before and during the wedding. We discussed some key photos we wanted with close family and older guests and he captured everything beautifully. He worked brilliantly with our videographer and together on the day he created a really calm and fun atmosphere for both us and our guests. His candid style was perfect and he really captured the feeling of the day. We could not recommend Ste enough and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much! George and Verity x

    We cannot recommend Ste highly enough - if you are so lucky that he is available for your date, don't hesitate to book him!! My husband and I wanted someone who would capture the emotion and unique moments of our day, which Ste did perfectly. The gallery amazed us, and the majority of our guests have contacted us asking to see more photos!! Ste and his colleague Adam were also just the loveliest people. On the morning Ste came and introduced himself to my whole party (without camera!) so that when he started to take photos it felt incredibly natural and fun. By the end of the night we didn't want them to leave the party! For the one day when you don't want to risk the images not being dreamy, Ste is 100% the man to trust.

    We can't recommend Ste enough - not only is he brilliant photographer, but he made both us feel super comfortable from the first time we chatted, all the way through to the actual day. We are so so happy with the photos. Ste captured our day - the emotion, the smiles, the personalities - perfectly. Everyone commented on what a great guy he is and how well he fitted in, and he never missed a shot (no idea how he does it all solo!!). We also had a great laugh during our couples shots - which is very impressive considering how little we both like having our photos taken. All we can say is thank you again!

  • 5/5 Sarah F. 1 year ago on Google
    Ste is an incredible gifted photographer and we are so grateful for the beautiful photos he captured on the best day of our lives. Ste felt like a guest the entire day and all of our friends and family commented on how lovely he was and how comfortable he made them feel. And the images! Ste perfectly captured how much love was felt on the day and the emotions we all felt. Paying for a photographer is such a big financial commitment but booking Ste was the best decision we made for our entire wedding. I will never stop looking at the photos and they will always make me smile - and cry! Thank you so much Ste.

    We came across Ste on Instagram and we were blown away by the quality and creativity of his wedding posts. His photos were unlike anything we had ever seen and we knew his style would compliment our venue and New Year's Eve-themed wedding perfectly. From the first video call that we had with him, we hit it off straightaway and we could tell that he was exactly what we were after from our wedding suppliers. As we were getting married in Ireland during a pandemic we needed to make sure that he could travel and he put our mind completely at ease. He was so patient and flexible and understanding. We met Ste in person before the wedding and we would highly recommend doing this as it gave us an opportunity to get to know him, and for him to get to the heart of what we wanted from our wedding pics. This meant that we didn't have to worry at all about the photography element of our wedding and when Ste turned up, he got straight to work, without any awkwardness or formalities. He was in the mix straightway, capturing all the important moments and it was so refreshing to know that all of that was in good hands. His photos really tell the story of our wedding in a way which allows us to relive the whole mood and every brilliant moment. We were so happy with the quality of Ste's photography and one thing I found really special is how he managed to capture the personalities of our friends and family so well, so that all of our wedding guests loved the photos almost as much as we do. As an added bonus, Ste is a great, genuine, guy and we have kept in touch ever since.

    My husband and I knew we wanted Ste as our wedding photographer the moment we saw his online gallery on his website. After an informative and friendly zoom call, we were even more convinced! Ste is extremely knowledgeable which made us feel at ease and that everything photo-wise was handled without any input needed from us (though he was happy to take on board anything we were specific about). Apart from our couple and group photos, I hardly noticed Ste! He blended in so well with the rest of the guests, being extremely friendly while still capturing the most beautiful photos. So many of our guests commented on how lovely he was which made us feel great for choosing the perfect photographer. Before, during and since the wedding, Ste has been very communicative. We now have our full gallery to re-live our day over and over again and can't thank Ste enough! I would highly recommend!

    We are so so glad Ste was our wedding photographer! My husband and I generally hate having our picture taken, but Ste made us feel totally at ease; nothing felt too posed or awkward. The photos are absolutely beautiful, natural and make us smile whenever we look at them! Ste managed to capture the whole day as we lived it, and whenever we look at our wedding album it brings back all the amazing memories. We can't recommend him more!

  • 5/5 Joanne R. 1 year ago on Google
    We couldn't imagine our wedding without Stephen. His photos have allowed us to re-live again and again - they are absolutely incredible and we continually hear from friends and family how beautiful they are. We asked Stephen to take our photos because of how he captured 'real moments' and he did exactly this. Every photo takes us right back to the moment and the emotion of the day. We all seem to be smiling from start to finish, which is exactly how it felt! So a very sincere thank you. We love them all and now wondering quite how we put 700+ photos up around the house! We would highly recommend Stephen to couples planning photography for their big day.

  • 5/5 Alex M. 11 months ago on Google
    Steven photographed our wedding last year and was honestly outstanding. His communication was spot on, professionalism, quality of work was unbelievable. Amongst this, he was fantastic to work with and just a really great guy. I would recommend him to anyone, our family and freinds have openly said the photos we got from our day were better than anything they have seen before. If you want the most incredible photos and a professional and smashing guy to work with... book Ste.

  • 5/5 Priya G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ste was such a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to capture our 3 day wedding in Kenya. He made everyone feel so comfortable, it was like he was part of our friends and family. He really captured the spirit of our wedding! He had all the energy and enthusiasm in the world over three full on days to get the pictures that will last a lifetime. Nothing felt like too much to ask of him, he was so accommodating, danced with us and left a big impression on all of our guests. Thank you so much Ste!

  • 5/5 N J. 8 months ago on Google
    Ste was so incredible and played such a wonderful part in our wedding. He was professional, fun, responsive and we absolutely love our photos. Ste helped us have meaningful photos without it being too much of a chore having your wedding photos because wanted to enjoy our day. The photos are simply stunning, natural, iconic and personal to us. Ste is also such a top guy he was so much fun to be part of our wedding crew and we would highly recommend. THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING OUR SPECIAL DAY. Natascha and Carl x

  • 5/5 Anna J. 5 months ago on Google
    Stephen made us feel so at ease every step of our wedding day. We've just got the photos back and couldn't be happier with them.. he is worth above and beyond what he charges for such special memories captured so beautifully. It was like reliving every moment of the day all over again! Stephen gave us all the direction we needed but also encouraged us to just be ourselves. Don't hesitate to book him for your wedding, his talent is truly special!

  • 5/5 bahar a. 5 months ago on Google
    Ste, your talent is beyond words. The way you captured the essence of our wedding day was nothing short of magical. You have a unique ability to make people feel at ease, allowing us to be our true selves while you meticulously documented the subtle, yet significant moments of our special day. Your presence felt more like a dear friend than a photographer, making the intimate moments between my partner and I comfortable and natural. Your work is priceless we would have gladly invested more to for such beautiful photographs. Every time we look at the them, weā€™re transported back to that day, reliving each emotion in vivid detail. It was an absolute joy to have you as a part of our wedding, thank you so so much for everything. Bahar & Pedram.

    We hired Ste as our photographer for our big day after reading the reviews from his website and other wedding websites. While Ste's prices fell on the upper end of our budget for the wedding, he was well worth the costs as not only was he excellent prior to the day, the photos he delivered were everything we wanted and really captured our special day. He was extremely professional and ensured that we were well informed regarding his process. We had an initial virtual meeting to discuss what we wanted and also what we would expect on the big day. Following this, we paid the deposit and then kept in touch closer to the day with more questions regarding what's been arranged and organised by us. Ste arrived on the day promptly and began to work - he only required us to do a few posed shots and most of the photos from the day were candid shots, which really captured the moments of our wedding and it was really what we wanted on our big day. It never felt awkward or forced at any point throughout the day of our wedding.

  • 5/5 Lucy H. 1 year ago on Google
    We placed a lot of importance on who to choose as our wedding photographer; we had decided not to book a videographer, so the photos were going to be how we remembered our day in years to come. We chose Ste as we loved the style of his photos, and he was so easy to get along with when we had our first chat over Zoom. On the day he was the laidback, friendly guy we had met the first time. He was barely noticeable moving between the guests, yet he was always there to capture the moments that made our day special ā€“ including into the night for our bandā€™s first set. Still not sure how one man can be in so many places at once! We are not naturals in front of the camera at all, but Ste made us feel relaxed all day. Weā€™re delighted with the photos Ste has captured and would recommend him to anybody looking for a reportage style photographer for their wedding day.

  • 5/5 Thomas D. 2 years ago on Google
    As soon as we found Stephen via his amazing photos and reviews we knew we'd found our wedding photographer. Our wedding photos are absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Thank you for being so professional, and comfortable around us. Stephen feels like another guest rather than a photographer, as his great personality and humour put you at ease for the perfect photographic moments.

  • 5/5 Eve L. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you Ste for capturing our wedding day so brilliantly. Your photographs certainly tell the story of our day. If you are looking for a relaxed, calm and professional photographer... Ste is your guy. We didn't want to be away from our guests for too long on our wedding day and with the time we gave him he really captured some amazing photographs of us both, capturing the beautiful scenery which was the backdrop to our day. Our family and friends commented on how nice Ste was and how well he blended into the day. We had good communication with him from first contact to post wedding follow up. Thanks again! E & P

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 4 months ago on Google
    I canā€™t believe how beautiful our photos have come out. It has been so special to look through them and to relive our day. Itā€™s a wonderful thing to be able to look through photos and feel transported back to the day because of how real and candid they are. You caught every little moment. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and for these photos the saying could not be more true. The delivery of them lifted the wedding blues as we have relieved moments and conversations and feelings from the day. We cannot thank you enough for them. I am beyond appreciative that Kieran found your IG and that we were able to have you for our special day.

  • 5/5 Gemma P. 2 years ago on Google
    Hiring Stephen to shoot our wedding was the best decision we made and was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly professional and beautifully captured every moment of our day. It is really hard to pick the right vendors for your special day and a photographer is a really important decision to get right because you need to capture all the moments that you might not see yourselves as the day goes by so quickly. With Stephen you can well and truly tick that box and relax! The drone was an awesome touch for the group photo shot and made sure the kids were all looking at the camera! We would highly recommend Stephen and could not be happier with our photos. Thank you so much, our day would not have been the same without you. Gemma & Graeme Porter x

  • 5/5 Sam O. 2 years ago on Google
    Stephen was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was a complete professional throughout the whole process, keeping in constant communication with us from the point of booking him all the way up to the day of the wedding. Even with a date and venue change due to Covid, Stephen was flexible and endeavoured to meet our needs. On the actual day of the wedding he was great, arriving at the venue super early and taking his time to get to know all of the bride and groom party. He seamlessly integrated into the wedding ceremony and reception and our photos came out amazing, capturing so many incredible moments throughout the day! We would highly recommend Ste and his photography services for weddings and special occasions.

    What can we say about Steven? From the day we found him and his work on Instagram, to first chatting on facetime, he was superb with us and we KNEW he was the photographer for us. His communication and reliability in the 12 months leading up to our wedding was outstanding, something very important to couple with all the stresses of organising a wedding. Stress free payments and invoices always sent, again perfect in the lead up to a big day! Fast forward to the big day, what can we say really? Steven was prompt, professional and did absolutely everything expected of him, AND MORE. The way he treated the bride and our daughter in particular before the wedding was so nice! The finished product - WOWWWW! We could never have imagined what we would recieve as a finished article. The photos are absolutely outstanding, 100% captured our big day, and together with our videographer, they more than brought to life amazing memories for us to keep & cherish forever! Words can't describe how much we would recommend Steven to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or any other major event! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Paul & Joanne Lloyd

    @stephenwalkerphotography Ellie and I honestly canā€™t thank you enough for everything you did on our wedding day. Where to start?ā€¦ The photosā€¦ they are absolutely incredible and we couldnā€™t be happier; you captured the story of the day perfectly! Artistic, natural and we canā€™t wait to show them off! Your personality and emotional intelligence is amazing!! From the moment you arrived you knew how to put everyone at ease, set a wonderful tone for the day and continually put smiles on everyoneā€™s faces šŸ˜ƒ you listened to our requests, made us feel special and had that amazing quality of being everywhere without us realising. Thank you so so much, we could not be happier!!

  • 5/5 Laura S. 2 years ago on Google
    We're so glad we chose Ste to photograph the wedding. We didn't even realise he was there most of the time but he was lovely to have around and made everyone feel at ease. He took a beautiful mix of documentary style candid photos and more posed shots which really captured the fun and emotion of the day. We really relived it all looking back through the photos. Would highly recommend Ste!

  • 5/5 Martyn K. 3 years ago on Google
    We booked Stephen for our wedding as well as a pre-wedding shoot which we thought would be a great way to get to know each other. The whole pre-shoot was a lot of fun and Stephen really put us at ease and the resulting Photos are awesome. We can't wait for the Wedding itself and he's been nothing but a pleasure to deal with throughout :)

  • 5/5 Sharan D. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing, fantastic and wonderful! I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough. My partner recently proposed to me in the beautiful Lake District and Stephen added a magical touch to the proposal by photographing all the beautiful moments. He played a cheeky role in making the proposal happen and he was very pro-active before the proposal in sharing what he visions/plans to shoot with my partner. Stephen was brilliant at making us comfortable and at ease which was so important since we had never done anything like this before. The photographs are stunning and really captures the moments in a beautiful way. Our friends and family have all loved the photos! Thank you Stephen.

  • 5/5 #Leadership - What's on your m. 2 years ago on Google
    Stephen captures things in a way that youā€™ll want to look at your photos again and again. With the day being really really important to us we wanted a photographer who was not only going to make great photos but capture the atmosphere too. When we look at our photos now we donā€™t only remember what it looked like but we remember what it FELT like. Heā€™s a really approachable and friendly guy to have around. If you're worries about feeling nervous about having your picture taken or worried about not having your day captured just as it happens then donā€™t be if your booking Stephen! Truly recommend him. Stu + Jenni

  • 5/5 Hollie M. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked Stephen through recommendation and he ticked all the boxes. So professional from start to finish made both me and the groom feel very comfortable. Fantastic photographer and would deffinatley recommend. Thank you ste for doing everything and more you could of on the day 10/10.

  • 5/5 Katja H. 2 years ago on Google
    We have searched the internet and stumbled over Stephens work. Being instantly hooked by his beautiful pictures we have contacted him and met at some stage. From this day forward there was no doubt he had to become our wedding photographer. Stephen understood how important it was for us to capture the day and its emotions to create memories we can remember for years to come. It was very important to me (the bride) to have my mum there on our big day. After a few cancelled wedding dates due to Covid mum fell ill and couldnā€™t join us. There were also travel restrictions in place. None of my family and friends from Germany could be there. We decided with a heavy heart to go ahead and finally tie the knot after 16 years having a modest wedding and a party in the garden. Stephen has been most understanding on how much it meant to us mum being able to join us. She walked me down the aisle via FaceTime. Stephen took some beautiful pictures of her on the screen including her and saving the moments for us to look back on. He knew we donā€™t want staged pictures (just a few ;-) and he did not disappoint us. Stephen fits right in with the crowd. He is very pleasant and calm. He guided us and our guests through the process. He is honest and shares his thoughts and knowledge and we appreciate his input and guidance as it resulted in photos we will treasure. He has the talent to capture the emotions of the day. His photos let us relive the day and we are finding new details every time we look at them. It feels as the day comes alive again. Bitter sweet but we had a ball. Thank you Ste for being there, your patience and your tireless efforts to produce the most beautiful pictures and memories we will tightly hold on to. If you ever need us, you know where to find us. We will keep our promise. And to anyone out there. Look no further. He is the one!!!!

    Daniel and I highly recommend Stephen! He was amazing to work with, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous! We had our wedding in December 2020 following government guidelines, and although our party was small, Ste made everyone feel so comfortable. He is personable and professional, and fit right in with my family and friends. He made me and my husband feel so comfortable and relaxed during our shoot; it was easy to just have fun with it! Everyone has nonstop complimented us on how beautiful the photos are, and Stephen made that happen. We are so grateful we had him for our wedding day, and any couple would be lucky to have him shoot their wedding!

  • 5/5 Amy W. 2 years ago on Google
    We could not thank Ste enough for our wedding photos! We felt no pressure on the day, everything ran smoothly and he captured some of the best pictures when we didnā€™t realise he was there! Absolute professional and great photographer, would recommend to anyone who is planning their wedding! Canā€™t wait to get our prints in hand!
