Warning – the following images are too cute for words and I will not be held responsible for the “ooohs” and “ahhhs” that follow.
A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of spending a lovely few hours with Sarah, Anthony, Charlie and baby Isabella, in their gorgeous home. They are such a wonderful, warm family and I was made to feel so welcome. After being initially shy with me (who’s this strange woman taking my picture) Charlie was soon, smiling, laughing and showing me his giant teddy and his toy cars.
We had an hours booking but I was there for nearly 2, as I just could not stop snapping away.

It has been a little while since I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of the lovely Adam and Jennifer.
It was such a fantastic day. The sun came out (even though the forecast had been dodgy and we were planning for the worst), the bride and groom both looked gorgeous, and I am sure everyone went home with aching cheek muscles from smiling and laughing so much.

A handsome prince, a beautiful princess and a fairy-tale castle (Chateaux Impney) – What more could anyone ask for……?!
Shooting a wedding like this is every wedding photographers dream and I really did feel like I was part of a ‘Once Upon a Time’ Story.
Michelle and Alastair’s day was pure magic and was a joy to capture and be a part of. I could write pages and pages about this day and still not be done describing the joy, love and general awesome atmosphere that the day held.
I will let my pictures do the talking!
First and foremost we both want to say a massive thank you. Michelle and I spoke on honeymoon how lucky we were to have found and chosen you to be our photographer. On the day you weren’t just our photographer but like some sort of wedding day coach, helping us through the day and re-assuring us that everything was going ok. It’s testament to you that even our parents, family and friends commented on how lovely you were, how relaxed they were being photographed and how non-intrusive you were to the extent that a lot of the time we forgot you were even there!.
We both really appreciate the work you put in on the day and no doubt have put in since with regards to editing. To achieve total coverage of our day across 2 houses in 2 towns, a church venue and separate reception venue 40 minutes apart is something we know we wouldn’t get with most photographers! Seeing as you were at the boys house just after 10am, and left at goodness knows what time from the Chateau in the evening, we really appreciate you stopping on a bit later than originally planned as we had over ran.
-Alastair & Michelle
And they lived happily ever after…..!

I first met Sam and Steve in 2014 when they asked me chat with them about capturing their wedding day. As soon as I walked into their home I felt so welcome and when I met their two gorgeous daughters, I knew without doubt, that theirs would be a wonderful wedding day. I was proved so right!
Held at The Abbey Hotel in Redditch, Worcs; the venue was just perfect for their intimate day. Both the wedding guests and staff at the hotel were so welcoming and friendly that it made my job a dream!
We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for our wedding on Saturday. You were incredible from the minute you arrived. I hate having photos taken, and you made the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable for both of us.
Everybody commentated on how friendly and great you were, and how hard you worked all day.
You helped make our day perfect.
Thank you so much
Sam and Steve O’Connor X

The day that I received an email from Charlotte, saying Kevin and herself were going to be parents and that they wanted me to take their pregnancy photographs, I was over the moon (and may or may not admit to shedding a little tear).
Over the past two years, have had the immense privilege of shooting their engagement photographs, capturing their amazing wedding day and now their pregnancy!
To make it even more special; all the photographs were taken at the same location and I hope that we will continue to visit this spot, capturing more milestones and special moments in their and their families lives for many years to come.
Baby J, is a very lucky baby to have Charlotte and Kevin as their Mummy and Daddy!

I was initially recommended to Leah and Jordan by a mutual acquaintance , who’s cousins wedding I photographed last year. Unfortunately they had found themselves in a bit of a pickle, after the photographer they originally hired (and paid a deposit to) vanished into thin air.
They have just celebrated their first months wedding anniversary and sent me such a beautiful bunch of flowers and a lovely note to say thank you for helping to capture their special day.
Now that the honeymoon is over and I’ve settled back in at work, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you!
After what happened with our first photographer, I really did not think we had a chance of having someone to capture our special day until Jodie gave me your number – you were like our fairy god mother and saved our day!
You are such a kind, lovely, slightly bonkers lady who brought a lot of laughter and happiness to our day and also managed to capture it at the same time and for that, my husband (eek) and I are truly grateful!
All of our guests commented on how amazing you were throughout the day and I have no doubt that when we see the photos, you will have captured all of the special moments that we didn’t see and if the engagement pics are anything to go by, they will be beautiful!
I will 100% recommend your services to anyone in need of a photographer who puts you at ease, is so inspired and captures all of the little moments of your day.
Thank you again Steph.
Mrs and Mrs Banner, have since received their photographs and are over the moon with them.
Here are a selection of images from their day:

When I first met Katherine and Richard I was struck by how connected they were. The looks that passed between them and how often one or the other would reach out and gently grasp the others hand while they talked.
They are also two of the most down to earth and natural people I have ever met. Their wedding day was about celebrating their love for one another as well as showing their loved ones a wonderful fun time and giving them a day to remember – and boy did they!
There were, bouncy castles, balloons, tug of war games, gladiator sticks and of course a delicious chocolate fountain. (Remembering it all as I type this has made me grin from ear to ear!)
It was a dream day for any photographer, the weather was perfect and the locations stunning.
The ceremony was held at the gorgeous St George Church in Newbold Pacey, and after the wedding ceremony guests left for the venue, (The Stratford Armouries) the three of us went into Oakley Wood for a quick and more intimate shoot. This gave the new Mr and Mrs Salisbury time to relax and take a breather before starting the next stage of their days celebrations.
Once we arrived at the armouries the party really got started and the games commenced! The set up was lovely with the marquee set in a beautiful field overlooking the Warwickshire countryside. Guests sat in the open air and bathed in the golden sunlight of the day.
Later on as the sun started to dip, the three of us again slipped away to capture a few more shots in the beautiful surroundings. The final highlight of the day was the lighting and setting free, heart shaped lanterns into the gathering dusk. Katherine had arranged this as a surprise for Richard.
Hi Steph
The photographs are AMAZING! Thank you so much! – Katherine and Richard

When Alex said to me last year at our first meeting “I want our wedding day to be different” I knew right then that I and all their lovely guests were in for a treat. I was not wrong!!
So much thought and love had gone into every little detail and the result was breath-taking.
They day started out a bit dreary with rain showers, but that did not stop the smiles, love and happiness that radiated from every single person present to witness Alex and Jasons’ magical day!
My brief was to take lots of relaxed and fun photos, to really capture the essence of the day. I had such fun, and at times I was laughing so much it was hard to hold my camera still and focus.
The wedding took place at Sherbourne Church with the reception a short walk away in a beautiful marque at Sherbourne Park.
I had this wonderful feedback:
Hey Stephanie,
Wow! The photos are amazing ….Cant thank you enough for capturing our special day together. We didn’t even notice you there! Love the crazy photos of the bridesmaids and ushers, that was a lovely surprise!
Thank you again. Hopefully we will see you soon xx

Held at the exquisite Pendrell Hall Country House, Wendy and Steve’s wedding was a glorious celebration of their love for each other and for their family and friends. Guests flew in from all over the world to be a part of their special day, and to say that I have never seen so many happy, smiley faces would be an understatement (especially after the free bar opened for business).
I have two main memories from the day that will always make me smile…
The first is, 10 minutes before the ceremony, the bride was still not dressed and was calmly trying to help the bridesmaids into their dresses with no concern for herself at all. The hotel wedding planner was hopping from foot to foot and all the guests were already seated in the ceremony room. I put my cameras down and dressed Wendy myself. I have never been more thankful for all the times I have peered over shoulders to get perfect shots of the lacing of the dress; so I knew exactly what I was doing – phew!!
The second memory is again about the dress. Wendy, realising that the dresses hoop had snapped and had somehow un-threaded itself, was unable to walk. We were on an outside gravel patio and poor Steve didn’t know how to help. Again, my cameras were put down and I found myself on my hands and knees in the gravel, with my head under the dress, re-threading and attaching the hoop.
After that I made a promise to myself to always carry knee pads in my kit bag!
Thank you for all your help on our wedding day, it was well above and beyond the call of duty.
We have just received our photographs. They are truly amazing, thank you so very much.
Take care – Wendy and Steve

It may have been a tad chilly (2 degrees) and a little wet on the January day when Kirstin and Edward had their wedding blessing. However, that didn’t matter as the atmosphere was so joyful and warm as friends and family came together to celebrate.
Edward and Kirstin live in and were married in South Africa in 2014. This blessing and day was a wonderful way for those that couldn’t make it to their SA wedding to celebrate Edward and Kirstin’s love and commitment to each other.
Edwards mum Jane, contacted me and booked my services in November after I was recommended to her by guests that had attended Maria and Gary’s wedding blessing earlier in the year. She sent me this lovely feedback …
It was such a lovely surprise to receive the beautiful presentation case with CD of the photos you took for Ed and Kirst’s wedding blessing on 3rd January – something to treasure forever. The photos are really lovely and I wanted to thank you for the time and detail you put into them. It is very much appreciated.
P. S we love the photo of Kirst and her mum taking a selfie on your website.
Wishing you continued success for the future
