We would highly recommend Steve as a photographer for your event. In our first meeting before the wedding, Steve demonstrated his knowledge, experience and skills by guiding us through everything to expect on our wedding day, explaining timelines and photo opportunities to make sure everything we wanted was captured.What we really loved about Steve's portfolio is his ability to capture the essence of the day through a mixture of candid shots and traditional posed photos which results in a gallery that truly reflects the atmosphere and emotions of the day.On our wedding day, Steve was a joy to be around. He effortlessly organised the posed shots so that we could spend more time with our guests. His friendly nature created an environment where we all felt at ease which shines through in our genuine smiles and authentic moments captured on film.Steve also did our videography which came out perfectly, again capturing all the significant moments to subtle details. We were thrilled with how professional the photos and video turned out and to do it all by himself was very impressive.We had a great laugh with Steve and the camaraderie we shared on the day added an extra layer of enjoyment to our entire experience. We were so grateful to work with such a genuine and friendly person which complimented our day perfectly.Steve's distinct style in photography and videography, along with his affable nature created a wedding experience that exceeded our expectations. We will no doubt want to work with Steve again for any future events.A huge thank you to Steve for his commitment before, during and after our wedding. We have so many happy memories to look back on and are over the moon with how everything turned out. We were thrilled to receive our photos and videos on a really quick turn around via email link and a few weeks later to receive them all on a beautiful personalised wooden USB stick.Thank you again, we know our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without you.Jamie & Rachel Moore

Steve was our photographer for our wedding at Redcoats in August 2022. We chose Steve as we love his natural photos that give a real essence of the day. He did that perfectly for our wedding so that we have lots of natural, beautiful photos of us and our guests having fun without our day being affected by standing having hundreds of staged photos taken.Our guests have all commented on how hard-working Steve was and that he was always around the thick of the action snapping away. Also, he was able to co-ordinate staged photos quickly, methodically and with minimal fuss so we could get on with drinking, eating, dancing etc. 🙂 Steve took photos of fantastic quality that will be cherished forever.

Can't recommend Steve enough as a wedding photographer. He was friendly and relaxed, exactly what you need on a very overwhelming day. He even stepped up to help us when my in-laws were not able to attend the ceremony and recorded it so they could still see it. The photos turned out beautiful and so natural, we absolutely love them and that's hard to achieve with a very camera-shy couple! We had the best day and the photos capture it perfectly

We used Steve as our photographer for our special day. After researching a number of wedding photographers, I knew once I saw Steve's work, he was the man for us, he photos were so gorgeousand professional!Steve took us step by step through the whole process from start to finish and made us feel very confident knowing that he knew the registry office and the surrounding areas for the perfect photos. We spoke at length prior to the day so he could get to know us better and reassured my husband (who doesn't like having his picture taken) very comfortable!On our wedding day, Steve was there way ahead of time capturing all the guests arriving and the smaller intricate details that we had not thought of. He is so friendly and easy going and made us all (including all our guests) feel at ease and comfortable. What was really great was that he managed to capture such incredible photos without making a big song and dance about trying to take them, he got on with it and weaved his way wonderfully and stealthily around the registry and the reception venue. He took the most beautiful and natural photographs and made us all laugh every step of the way.We highly recommend Steve for all your wedding photographs, he was so professional, competitively priced and took gorgeous photos. Thanks to him, we have these memories to look at forever.

Steve is such a friendly and professional person. He made us feel totally at ease from our first meeting with him and on the day he went over and above. At one point during the morning he put the camera down and stood there fanning me as he could see I was getting hot and flustered. Talk about 'extra mile'.Any specific photos we wanted were no problem - Steve even came with a printed list we had emailed him for reference.I highly recommend Steve. He was amazing.

We had a traditional Sri Lankan wedding planned in August and we were looking for a photographer who had an eye for detail. After looking through Steve’s profile, we thought he was a good fit. So invited him over to discuss more detail. Even though, ours was his 1st non-English wedding, he was professional, showed confidence and registered all our needs and requests.On the day, Steve did a fantastic job at capturing all the important cultural events as well as capturing some beautiful natural poses. He was professional in directing us and our guests and struck a really nice balance between getting lots of really nice photos whilst allowing us and the guests to really enjoy the day.So overall, I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a good and dependable wedding photographer.(The picture below says it all :D. )p.s: that's him on his ladder, trying to capture a good short of the crowd)

What can i say about Steve at Herts wedding photography. He was fantastic. Originally me and now husband were due to get married in Cyprus may 2020 but due to covid and it's getting cancelled twice. We decided to get married over here. So the hunt for a photographer began and with in days of searching I found Steve on bridesbook. He sent all the information over and prices. I had told him that I was only looking for half day as we were unsure on whether we were having an evening reception due to restrictions. He was so friendly and helpful. A few weeks before the big day we had a zoom call with him to discuss what we photos we wanted and how we saw our day planning out. On the big day he turned up just before the time we said and got straight on with taking photos of Me and my wedding party getting ready. Steve captured our vows perfectly. He also captured all the photos we wanted especially the one of us with our little girl. After our speeches my wedding planner was no where to be seen and we still had to cut the cake. Steve guided us through it even though I was stressing. We really couldn't of asked for a better photographer all our family and friends were so happy as well especially our daughter and nephew who he really made a fuss of and brought something to make them smile. Steve really captured our perfect day amazingly and I'm so pleased to have chosen him for the photos we will treasure forever.

Steve did a fantastic job on our wedding photos. He was very professional and easy to work with throughout the process, and had lots of creative ideas to get the best shots at our chosen venues. Steve did a great job of directing us and our guests on the day, and struck a really nice balance between getting lots of really nice photos whilst allowing us and the guests to really enjoy the day. Steve did a great job editing the photos and we are very pleased with the results. We would highly recommend to others!

Where do I start?! Steve was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond from the moment I (the bride) arrived. From liaising with the registrars to make everything run smoothly, making us all feel so calm and relaxed in front of the camera to working magic in getting my toddler looking at the camera! Steve made us feel completely natural getting our pictures taken which really shows in our amazing photos. Nothing felt awkward, we felt so laid back and had a great time. Wedding photos are truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so grateful we managed to book ours in with Steve because we love every photo. Thanks again Steve, we could not recommend you highly enough. (Kirsty & Jamie)

Steve just had the ability to just get everyone to chill. He took the time to listen to what my daughter wanted and came up with some fab suggestions. Totally helped make the day perfect. Time for photos wasn’t rushed even took requests for photos wanted. Highly recommend you use him

Steve was amazing on the day and managed to keep both of us relaxed in front of the camera. He has a great sense of humour and all of our guests commented on how lovely he was. The first preview photo also looks beautiful! Thanks so much Steve 😃

We hired Steve to be our wedding photographer in January this year. From the first meeting with him, he completely put us at ease and we knew instantly that it was Steve who we wanted to capture our day. My husband hates having his photo taken and was quite anxious about having a photographer all together but Steve was extremely understanding and patient with us and my husband was really relaxed in Steve's company meaning we got some excellent shots.From start to finish, Steve was the upmost professional and managed the whole process seamlessly. He captured some amazing images and our wedding photos are a perfect tribute to our day. We can't thank Steve enough for all his time, dedication and efforts and the amazing service he provided for our wedding. He was the most reasonably priced photographer that we met and was definitely the best. Extremely modest and flexible and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone

I would highly recommend Steve!! One of the most important aspects to a wedding is the wedding photos and I am so very happy that we chose Steve to capture our day. We met with Steve 8 months prior to the wedding for an engagement shoot. I was very anxious about how to pose and how I would look in photos that I have no control over. But right from the start, Steve made us feel extremely relaxed. I laughed so much during that shoot. We got to know Steve throughout that afternoon and when I saw the photos from the shoot, I had no worries at all about how I would be captured, Steve's talent for photography made every photo look beautiful.Steve kept in touch with us throughout the planning process and was always available to answer any emails.The wedding day arrived and Steve came to my hotel to do all the getting ready shots and he blended perfectly in. I never felt like he was in the way or that he was intruding. He made myself and my bridal party laugh and we felt very at ease around him. Although you can trust that Steve will capture the moment that you are scoffing your face of food and you never even noticed!! Which is another great quality of Steves. Some of the photos that he has taken, I never even knew he was there. He blends himself in to your day. And the photos are stunning. He made sure that we had fun whilst taking them and he has captured every little detail, from my beautiful decor to natural shots of our friends and family. We received a beautiful presentation box with our personalised usb stick with all of our photos on, something we will treasure forever.Steve not only captured our day but he also played a big part in it. He was always there wanting to lend a hand to me whenever he could and even helped to do other people's jobs! Steve you were a star and we can't thank you enough! Crystal & Chris. X

Fantastic experience from the start.
Even at the point when I fell behind on emails and wedding planning Steve made contact and most importantly the the time and effort right from the start.
Despite the cold weather and 70 cold guests Steve managed to capture every shot we wanted and more!
I would highly recommend him over and over.
Thank you Steve!
Love Mr & Mrs Baxter

I would recommend Steve to anyone needing a good and dependable wedding photographer. My wife and I had worked with many people when planning the wedding, Steve was the most helpful person that we had worked with. He was proactive with his communications with us and the planning he did made us feel at ease that we had a dependable photographer. He was incredibly busy on the day, and was able to get some amazing shots even though our venue didn't really have many scenic backdrops. The photos were just as good as we hoped. We found Steve to be incredibly friendly and professional. I can not recommend Steve enough, he was a delight to work with.

Steve and Jason provided the videography and photography for my wedding day from bridal prep 9am until 9.30pm first dance. For all images on usb and full version of video on pdf and on dvd was £1200 and worth evert penny. The qualify of both was perfect to a tee. Steve himself took charge of the posed shooting and was fantastic at organising guests to get the shots we wanted and met with us prior to get an understanding of the shots we wanted also. We was offered a free pre shoot at our wedding venue also. Steve was completely easy to get on with and Jason was busy with his camera to get every little detail and i mean EVERY little detail!! Steve capture some of the most precious natural shots of the children and the ceremony and i could not have ask for anything more from these guys! They really know what theyre doing and they just fit in perfectly with the day and got on with guests grandly which helps so much when it a wedding day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Thanks guy! You da men!!

Steve took photos at our wedding on the 7th of July. He was so down to earth and put us at ease! He captured the day beautifully and we didn’t even realise he was taking photos! Everyone spoke so highly of him at the wedding! He stayed late to get some very cool night shots with the sparklers!
Thanks Steve for excellent photos and keeping the memory of the day alive! We look forward to getting the usb and getting some of the photos put up in our house!
Thanks again can’t recommend you highly enough.

Not sure where to start. Steve kept in touch and updated us via the emails before the day which is great point. He was checking what kind of shots we prefer on the day to make sure we are happy. Then on the day Steve was already there waiting for us, taking lots of pictures and checking with both of us if we are happy. Very friendly, funny and also very professional throughout the day. We didn't wait too long for photos to be available, but I don't mind waiting bit longer to get good photos (personal opinion). Photos were just brilliant, massive resolution.
Online gallery was free download, which I think is great point as you don't have to pay for individual photos. And after that we received personalised usb stick with photos on it. This is like a little touch, very nice thing to have.
Honestly can't recommend Steve enough.
If we had to or needed photographer for any kind of event/ceremony we would use Steve again.

Honestly can't recommend Steve enough. We found him by chance and after looking through his gallery and checking his online reviews we decided to book him, and we're so glad we did! He communicated with us right from the start, checking what group shots we wanted etc. Then when the day came around he put us totally at ease and the photos turned out amazing! He captured everything we wanted and more, with some beautiful natural shots. It was also hugely reassuring that he showed us some of the photos after he'd taken them to ensure we were happy throughout. The online gallery - with free download of all images - was up just a couple of weeks later, and a personalised USB containing all of the images arrived at our house soon after that. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our big day

Any Brides wedding day is a BIG deal, the lead up is stressful and what you really want to do come the big day, is to be able to enjoy it and take it all in. Steve was not intrusive, was friendly and funny, professional and completely filled my brief. I wanted natural pictures, I wanted the day captured as it was for the memories to be ever lasting. I did not want a photographer that was bossy, in the way and overly fussy that made having the pictures taken a chore. I can’t recommend Steve enough, he listened to what we wanted and hence we got what we wanted.

We used Steve as our wedding photographer in August 2017. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and professional guy who clearly knew his stuff and was a joy to work with. The quality of the shots and the turnaround (we got the photos whilst we were still on honeymoon, albeit dodging Hurricane Irma) was great.10/10 would certainly use again

Amazing service! Steve was friendly, professional and helpful from the initial enquiry through to the delivery of the USB. He took beautiful photos of our wedding and captured every single aspect beautifully. He was great fun to work with on the day and was able to get some fantastic candid shots as well as the beautiful portraits. He uploaded our photos onto the client portal on his website really quickly and the USB arrived soon after in a beautiful presentation box with some prints.
All in all, I cannot recommend Steve and Herts Photography more highly! Thank you so much for everything!

We chose Steve for our wedding because of his natural style that came through in his portfolio. On the day he was brilliant, managed the relatives well and captured the memories of the day perfectly while staying barely noticed in the background. I honestly think we could not have found a better photographer for our wedding day.
