Thank you for everything!Thank you for everything!
Stephen photographed our wedding in May 2016 and we are absolutely over the moon with the photos! From the moment we booked him, Stephen was a consummate professional and made us feel completely at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for him - on the day of the wedding he even helped with last minute prep, such as fixing my nan's locket to my bouquet. Even now, nearly a month on, he is still on hand for questions and advice. We have received a lot of compliments on our choice of photographer, from his professionalism to how lovely he is. He is also a bridal party's best friend as he carries everything a girl could possibly need on the wedding day, from blister plasters to white umbrellas (which thankfully we didn't need!). Choosing your wedding photographer is such an important decision and we are so glad we chose Stephen.

More than just a photographerMore than just a photographer
What can I say, that hasn't already been said a thousand times.. SWJ Photography is more than just a wedding photographer, he brings out the best in everyone on the day & totally captures the beauty of it all. All your hard work in organising the day, is shown in his fabulous photos of the day. He is a true gem & a very talented individual. You cannot help but love him as much as the photo's he produces. If there were a negative, it's the highlights he sends over before the final batch are ready, be warned they are so wonderful that if you share them at this point (& you will because they are wonderful) you will get ever family member & friends nagging you for the following couple of weeks daily.. I kid you not, messenger exploded with, when will be getting to see the rest! You will not be disappointed when they do see them, I genuinely cried at the beauty of his style & how he managed to make an old bird like me look so good. He is a true star � & so glad he was able to be there on my special day to capture it all.. Stephen you are a wonder & delight & would recommend you to anyone for all that brings to a special day.

We are over the moon.We are over the moon.
Stephen captured our wedding day and we have to say the pictures are more than fantastic! We are over the moon with them all. He is very professional and kept in touch at every opportunity which eased those stressful thoughts before the day. If your thinking of booking him then I really suggest you go ahead! His prices can't be beat for the quality of photos. All of our guests commented how great the pictures are too, have a look for yourselves. We are glad you shared our day Stephen.

The perfect man for the job.The perfect man for the job.
This is long overdue but I wanted to just say how happy we are with our wedding photos. We got married at Curradine Barns in August 2017 and I knew that, after looking at Stephens style of photography, he would be the perfect man for the job. My husband isn’t very comfortable in front of the camera and, because of Stephen’s relaxed style, Ben barely noticed his photo was being taken most of the time! There were very few staged photos, which was great because it didn’t take us away from our guests for too long! The quality, the lighting and capturing those little moments that you don’t get chance to see on the day were just all done so well. It’s not just the photos, it’s Stephen himself. He was so helpful on the day, helping me tweak the decorations and providing me with much needed scissors, an umbrella, plus hair grips and hairspray when my hair was falling out - all from his amazing emergency kit! He was so friendly and chatty, he just fitted in with the whole day. Everyone we have shared our photos with have totally gushed over them and our house is becoming increasingly more decorated with Stephen’s photographs. We cannot thank him enough. Highly recommended!This is long overdue but I wanted to just say how happy we are with our wedding photos.

A level head, an upbeat vibe and ready to step in.A level head, an upbeat vibe and ready to step in.
What can we say, the photos speak for themselves. Stephen managed to capture the joy and celebration of the day in a way that we can treasure forever, while being very accommodating to our requests. That doesn't quite cover it however, Stephen was simply the most helpful guest we had. He was prepared for any eventuality, with a level head, upbeat vibe and ready to step in and fix any problems he could (including fallen bunting). He was the perfect mix of unintrusive and a calming presence and he produced plenty of captivating photos. We'd certainly use him for a second wedding... Definitely recommended!What can we say, the photos speak for themselves.

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Lucy and Chris's gorgeous festival wedding. A young couple so in love and such a unique wedding. The gorgeous location was turned into a stunning festival wedding with tents, a beautifully decorated marquee and wonderful homemade decor, including candle holders made from copper pipe! The whole day was relaxed, fun and thoroughly enjoyable. All the little touches were as important as the bigger things and with the speeches delivered outside with the guests on picnic blankets it made everything feel so relaxed and different.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Honest, natural, unfussy, real and creative.

What about your business are you most proud of?

My 5* reviews. I know that I work hard, but knowing that the couples notice this and appreciate it makes me love this job more and more everyday.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do what you want! It's your wedding day at the end of the day so every detail should be exactly what you want. Don't worry about other people. It's your love story!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A 'Guest Book Wall' built by the groom to go into their summer house in the garden. All of their guests are now a permanent part of their home.

I've also seen, and tasted, some absolutely beautiful homemade cakes!!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Everything will usually start via email to get the basic information, I like to then meet up for a coffee or a drink and have a good chat and get to know each other. I like to make sure I have met all of my couples at least twice so on the wedding day they're more relaxed. I think it's vital to get on with a couple on a personal level as this will really reflect in the photographs and will help the atmosphere on the wedding day.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Every wedding I do is totally different and each couple ends up with a shot which is totally 'them'. Sometimes they don't even realise it at the time. I do love playing with shadows and have a few little tricks up my sleeve to bring a little bit of something special.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

It's not very often I get asked for a specific photograph but there has been a 'stag do' photo which was pretty memorable. All of the stags had old army figures which they had to recreate whenever anyone shouts "ATTENTION" they had to get into that pose. No one told me this until they were throwing themselves on the floor!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Don't be afraid of it. I love photographing in the rain, this is why I always pack umbrellas and wellies!

Describe how you got into photography.

My grandpa had an old Instamatic 33 when I was a little that I was fascinated with. He left this to me in his will when he passed away when I was 9 and since then I've always had a camera in my hand and a viewfinder in front of my eye.
