Stephen Connolly — wedding photographer
About me

Hi, I’m Stephen — the face behind the camera.

I believe the best wedding photos come from real connection and genuine laughter — not forced poses. My approach is calm, friendly and unobtrusive so you can enjoy the day while I tell the story.

More about me

Fun facts

  • Voted the #1 photographer & videographer in Hertfordshire.
    (*Poll conducted by… me, when asking my mum.)
  • I still watch Harry Potter more frequently than what I’d consider healthy.
  • I BBQ every Boxing Day — rain, sleet, or snow.
  • Yes, I bring snacks for couples’ portraits. Priorities.

What My Couples Say

Unscripted words from real wedding days.

Stephen did a great job directing our guests and us on the day and struck a nice balance between getting lots of adorable photos whilst allowing us and the guests to enjoy the day.
James & Reechie — Hanbury Manor
Steve is brilliant. We had a wonderful day with him. He is professional, friendly and an excellent wedding photographer. He spent time getting to know us before the day, made us feel relaxed and ensured all our requests were seen to. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.
Leah & Kate — Offley Place
Steve was amazing on the day and managed to keep both of us relaxed in front of the camera. A great sense of humour and all of our guests commented on how lovely he was.
Aimee & Richard — Hertford Castle
Discreet on the day, cinematic in the results. Exactly what we wanted.
Priya & Alex — South Farm
