Discovery Photography are a really laid back team.They share their experience, through photography courses and are always willing to help you improve your own personal skills. It dose not matter if you have to ask them time and time again how to do something because you are not under standing the concept and they are very patient in explaining how to do things. It makes you feel like part of a big family.The studio is set out for all access!The team work with children and animals , so the saying never work with children and animals is not considered here as the team have both.Pictures can be seen on the walls of pervious photographs that have been taken. Just to add, their wedding photography is gorgeous and because of this I am having my wedding photographed by the team. Knowing that they are not going to be telling you that you have to stand in a certain way or try and stage everyone of your pictures without you being able to have a say. More...

Stu and Kirsty are fantastic we have had them do portraits of our children a couple of times now, and we asked them to cover our wedding day! They are so friendly, professional and go out their way to help their clients. Both Stu and Kirsty were fantastic on our wedding day being both professional and patient with us to get some beautiful (some funny) shots! We would highly recommend them to anyone More...

Fancy a cuppa?

Meeting new people, visiting new venues and capturing every single wedding I do :)

It all started when I was just 6, I had my first camera. My father and I would head to the loft, our make-shift darkroom, to develop our prints. I remember hanging them out to dry over the bath, struggling to contain my excitement at what images would appear. These days, photography has become my passion, my profession and my life. It’s now my full time profession - I'm a documentary wedding and portrait photographer.
Having run photography workshops for many years I’ve helped set up a lot of local photographers and passed my passion and enthusiasm for capturing life on to them. (check out stubrownphotography.co.uk)
Based in North Yorkshire I’m spoilt for locations for wedding photography. Some of my favourite wedding venues are Grinkle Park Hotel, Rushpool Hall, Gisborough Hall and Danby Castle, all offer different experiences and backdrops, all I’ve worked at for years.
“I do what I do for the smiles and occasionally a tear, I bring to people’s faces with my photographs”
I’m passionate capturing in the moment photography. The raw, natural, simplicity captures my imagination and unlike many other styles of photography, it's timeless. I don’t like posing people, its unnatural, I look for the connection between a family, a couple or wedding guests and that’s the emotion I capture.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I kept my distance and always wore a mask, to minimise the spread. Although Covid-19 restriction have been lifted for almost three years now.
