Master Wedding Photographer in the Isle of Wight

I qualified as a Master Photographer in the 80's and have enjoyed Wedding Photography ever since. I offer you, both the assured professionalism of an experienced wedding photographer [more than 600 weddings] and the enthusiasm of one who delights in capturing all the detail and interaction of the day.

The normal style of my photographic coverage is a mix of documentary photography, ensuring a true reflection of your unique day, with more traditional shots for groups of family and friends. I try to make the formal shooting quite brief and efficient so as not to intrude too much on your precious time, better spent celebrating with your guests.

For medium to large weddings, I have two prices, according to the length of time you would like me to continue covering events. I charge £450 for most Weddings and £575 if you would like the evening party included. These prices are for digital coverage, a DVD with full sized files and a web gallery [3 months] for your guests' reference.
For low-season weddings or last minute bookings I offer a discount; and for smaller celebrations, I have packages starting at £150 - please ask.

I take many hundreds of photos during the course of a wedding, and put about one third onto the web gallery within a few days of the wedding. [ you get all of the useable images on your DVD at printable size, some duplicated as BWs].You can have prints made anywhere [I place no restrictions on use], but I offer some packages of prints and albums if you prefer that I look after the finished print quality.

I hope that this is agreeable and look forward to meeting you.

For more examples of work please see the Wedding Gallery and also my Blog of Recent Work, in which I put some of the most recent wedding shots along with comments from the appropriate couples.

Hi Steve,
I've just had a quick look as I have to get off to an event and we only got back from honeymoon at 2.30am (Sam whisked me off to Nice as a surprise!) but the pictures look FANTASTIC - you have done a brilliant job and I don't know how you managed to cope so well in those conditions.
I'll be in touch...
Many, many thanks,
Lucy.

Hi Steve
We had a fantastic honeymoon, thank you. We only got back last night, so we've both been back to work today and are feeling a bit spaced out! Your photos have cheered us both up though - they're great! You captured the day so well and we're really pleased with them.

Hi Steve,
These pics are fab! We are absolutely delighted - exactly what we wanted. You did an amazing job and we would recommend you without hesitation. I know it was a long day for you, but the pictures really sum up the day for us.
Many thanks again
Em & Steve

Dear Steve,
A big "THANK YOU" for our wonderful photos, and for all your hard work on the day. Lots of people have said they love the photos too. You were so good, on the day, we don't remember you taking half of them! We had a beautiful day and you captured it perfectly.
Best Wishes, Claire and Luke

Thank you so much for being so prompt Steve!! The pics are amazing and I have all my guests checking them out right now! The colours are so fantastic it looks like we had a summer wedding!

Wow, the photos are AMAZING!!! Nick and I are totally thrilled with the results. Thank you so much for all your hard work. We really feel that you have the captured the atmosphere perfectly, and looking through them brings back lots of wonderful memories of our special day. We’re still to see the dvd but hopefully we’ll get a chance to look through them over the weekend as well because my parents have said that they are equally as fabulous.
I’ve sent the link to a few friends and family to have a look and ........ Thanks again!
Carina and Nick

Currently en-route to USA somewhere in the mid-Atlantic. Just had a quick whiz through a few of the snaps and just wanted to say - fantastic! They really look great - will have a tough job picking one to be enlarged for the wall - maybe we will just paper the house in them!

Thanks so much for all your hard work on the day, but I am chuffed to bits by the results.
