"Friendly and reliable, genuinely cares about what he does" 
 
I'm Steve 
I’m based in Heath Hayes, just outside Cannock, with Cannock Chase right on my doorstep — and that’s where it all began. 
 
Before weddings, I was out on the Chase chasing light, stalking wildlife, and learning how to tell stories without interference. In 2018, I spent three incredible weeks in Africa photographing elephants and lions in the wild — raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable. That experience still shapes the way I shoot today. 
 
Then a friend asked me to help photograph a wedding… and that was it. 
The emotion. The energy. The madness. The love. 
I was hooked! 
 
Since then, I’ve won several awards, including 
Global Wedding Awards – Midlands Wedding Photographer of the Year 2025. 
 
Weddings are loud, emotional, chaotic, and unforgettable — and that’s exactly how they should be photographed. I’m all about bold moments, real connection, and storytelling that doesn’t play by the rules. Your wedding day is one of life’s greatest moments, and I consider it an absolute privilege to document it for you — honestly, creatively, and turned up to 11 ! 
 
 
 
 
 
"He went above and beyond and captured every little detail we had hoped for" 
Outside of photography, I’m a self-confessed geek — sci-fi, pop culture, and Marvel (full sleeve tattoo included). I’m also rock obsessed, which probably explains why my photography is bold, energetic, and never dull. 
 
I ride a motorbike whenever I can, love bike racing, and have visited the Isle of Man TT more times than I can count. I somehow survived the London Marathon in 2018, now sticking to Saturday Parkrun. 
 
Basically, I love fast things, loud music, epic stories, and people who don’t take life too seriously — and that’s exactly the kind of weddings I love photographing. 
 
And seeing your reaction when you get your photos back? 
Best feeling in the world ! 
More about my style and approach below.... 
 
It’s your BIG DAY and I’m there to capture what really matters. 
The real, messy, beautiful moments as they unfold. 
 
The heart-stopping first look. 
The kiss (sparks guaranteed). 
Happy tears, belly laughs, and confetti chaos. 
The pride in your parents’ and grandparents’ eyes. 
Your people going absolutely wild on the dance floor. 
 
Family photos? We’ll smash them out fast so everyone gets back to the party. 
 
Couple portraits? 15 minutes is all we need. 
No stiff poses. No cheesy smiles. Just you two being you. 
 
I’ll capture the epic details too; the dress, the shoes, the flowers and all the little things you poured your heart into. 
 
Basically, I’m there for the love, the laughs, the chaos, and everything in between creating wedding photos that are bold, real, and unforgettable.

Highly recommended! 
"We spoke to Steve a couple of times before our big day. He took the time to get to know us and we feel like he understood what we wanted from our photographs. On the day he took his time with our guests and made sure we had captured everything we wanted. Our photographs are amazing! A friendly and reliable service which is great value for money. Genuinely cares about what he does. Thank you Steve"

 FAQs  How many pictures of my wedding will I get?  For a full day package, you will receive around 500+ fully edited wedding photographs. But I can’t guarantee a number as there are many factors on a wedding day which can change this, such as the number of guests or even the weather.  What area do you cover?  I am a Midlands Wedding photographer, based in Staffordshire. I cover the whole of the midlands area - Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire , Warwickshire and the West Midlands. I can travel further afield but charge a little extra to cover travel.  Are you insured?  Yes I am fully covered with business and public liability insurance.  What if you are ill and can’t attend our wedding day?  I consider myself generally fit and healthy but the unexpected can happen. I know many great wedding photographers, and in the event of me being too ill to attend I would reach out to them for help. Worst case scenario I would refund any monies paid to date , but touch wood it never comes to that!  What if your camera breaks?  I have back-up cameras and lenses with me on the day.  Will you back-up our pictures?  Indeed, my camera saves the image straight away onto 2 memory cards, so it is instantly backed-up. As soon as I am home from your wedding the pictures are saved onto multiple hard drives and to the cloud. I store your photographs for 12 months after your wedding.  Can we print our own photographs?  Yes of course! I am a firm believer that pictures should be printed. You are free to print any photographs and make your own album. But in all honesty many couples who have good intentions of printing their own rarely do, as life gets in the way. This is why both of my main packages include an album, and your online gallery includes a print shop. Making the whole process super easy for you.   How do I book?  When you are ready to go ahead, I require a £200 deposit to secure the booking. You will also need to complete the booking form on my website and accept my terms and conditions. The balance of payment will be due 2 months before your wedding date.
