Stephen is a great photographer. I would highly recommended him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. If you are looking for someone who will capture the gorgeous moments of your day and is so easy to work with then Stephen will definitely suit you!
We had an intimate lockdown wedding, with the photographer being our main supplier so it was important to get a good one and Stephen did not disappoint. I knew on the initial phone call I had with Stephen that we were on to a good one. He is a pleasure to deal with both in preparation for the day and on the day itself. He made myself and Daniel feel at ease and was like walking around with a friend! Stephen has a great sense of humor and was great working with the family too and blends into your day with ease. He was super flexible and was a joy to work with. The photos were gorgeous and great quality! It really showcases our story together and of the day itself! Myself and my husband would highly recommend Stephen as a photographer to any couple looking to get married!

Stephen is a brilliant photographer and a great man to deal with. He made us all feel at ease in front of the camera and captured some truly amazing photos of our big day. If you're looking for a photographer for any occasion I couldn't recommend Stephen highly enough! More...

5 stars are not enough for Stephen! He is truly amazing at what he does! Our pictures are just beautiful. We are not a couple who like staging/posing for photos.
..infact neither of us particularly like having photos taken. Stephen worked with us totally on that basis and the results are amazing our photos truly reflect a day full of fun and laughter... definitely needed this year after so many ups and downs with covid. Check out Stephen's page and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks again Stephen for everything. Our guests are still commenting saying how discreet you were and how comfortable they were just like us.

Pat & Sarah
Stephen is great craic yet is a very professional guy too; he knows his stuff inside out and is very easy to work with. Our photos were excellent, better than we could have dreamed; he captured the day perfectly. Very fast turnaround for the photos too, I thought we would be waiting months but we got a few the very next day and then the rest I think it was about two weeks later. I looked over the photos again just now as I am writing this; he really sees every detail - it is all there in the pictures. I am very happy we went with him. Fantastic! More...
Jim & Ailish
Great guy, great to work with and great photos. We are delighted with out photos and the album looks fantastic. A lot of our guests looking for copies of the ones with them in it too. Everyone looks amazing and really natural vibe. I'm not a fan of getting photographed in general but Stephen was great and it felt like a bit of fun and the photos at the end are amazing. Laura says she has never seen photos of herself that she loved like these ones. Well done man. More...
Karena Power
Such a lovely person and a brilliant photographer. He made our wedding photography really fun and easy, nothing was awkward and we look really relaxed and natural in the photos (because we were! ). Great ideas on the day for photos using the grounds and whatever was around, he has a really good & quick vision. Love the photos at the end of the day, which is the most important thing. Recommend Stephen to any wedding couples 100%, he is just brilliant! More...

Clare
Stephen did our wedding in Longueville House and he could not have been more perfect. Every detail was caught and it looks like every moment was caught too! He really listened to us and figured out what we wanted on the day, gave us some (brilliant) suggestions and delivered everything we wanted and lots more. Never any pressure on the day he is very relaxed and great fun. We absolutely love our photos and we loved having Stephen as part of our team. We recommend him highly. More...

Thanks so much Clare! That was a fantastic day, great fun, you guys were brilliant. Congrats on your new arrival again!!
Jo & Terry
An absolute genius! Great to meet somebody and work with somebody that really loves what they do and takes it to the next level. He was as interested in our wedding as we were, gave us lots of advice on ALL aspects of it, and he TOTALLY nailed the photos. Every photo tells a story of some little thing that happened. Different emotions brought up by Joan and myself when we were looking through them but most of all we were in tears laughing! We would totally have forgotten huge chunks of the day because it raced by but now we have this amazing souvenir. Looking forward to showing these to the grandkids and boring them all with our tales! Book Stephen for your wedding, you will be very glad you did. More...

Jess Lyons
I don't know how but he managed to get us to look pretty brilliant! We met Stephen before the wedding - he was so nice he called to our house when we told him we were nervous about the photos. We had a chat and he explained it all, what would happen and when. He even took a few photos of us to show us how it would be on the day. We were like old friends on the wedding day, it was a really lovely experience. Our photos were brilliant and the photos of all our guests were also brill - he must have been in about 20 places at once he is magic. Oh and he CARRIES SAFETY PINS! Haha - got us out of a tricky situation ;-) More...

Hahahah safety (pins) first! Thanks Jess! What a lovely day we had. Hope to see you again soon.
Maggie & Dave
Stephen did the photography for our wedding last year and was simply amazing. We are not usually comfortable in front of a camera but we had such a laugh with him, it turned out to be one of the best parts!
The photographs are amazing, we both got a bit teared up when they arrived, the day went so fast it was a blur but he captured everything and brought it all back for us. Such a nice guy, so helpful and friendly. I would recommend to anyone (and I already did - he did my sister's wedding in Jan!).
Thanks again Stephen!
Maggie & Dave.

Ah thanks a million Maggie & Dave! Great to see you guys again at Sarah's wedding - thanks again for the referral too.
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Making sure everybody is relaxed is the simplest and most important 'secret' there is. Once people are at ease they will allow the camera to see their true character.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Close your eyes, imagine the perfect photograph, what do you see?
What do you love most about your job?
I love people and I get huge satisfaction when they view their photographs and say 'Wow!' - they may have just seen themselves as they have never seen themselves before. Pure magic.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been shooting weddings for friends and then, through word of mouth & referrals, it started to be friends-of-friends. Before I knew it I realised I could earn a crust by doing what I love. That was a sweet, sweet moment.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have fun with clients and I love my work but I also take the responsibility very seriously. I never finish a job until I am 100% certain that the client will be blown away by the results.
Wedding Photography
I am a Wedding Photographer because I love weddings. Every single one of them. They are the best days of our lives and I love being part of them.
I passionately believe that wedding photography should be relaxed, fun and organic and that the photographs should be real, telling YOUR wedding story, the way you remember it.
I make this happen by getting to know you guys a bit before hand, by understanding exactly what you like (and what you dislike!), by having a sense of humour and being a nice guy. Oh and of course I make this happen by being a pretty amazing photographer!
Product Photography
What started as a sideline to promote a local Wedding Dress shop has bloomed. I specialise in clothing as well as branding.
Clients include:
-Marian Gale Boutique

Family Portraits
I believe family portrait sessions should be fun and 'real', most of my business is repeats, clients love my work and come back for more which is the ultimate compliment. We mix it up each year and try something new. If you are thinking about getting started give me a shout.
