Stephen is fabulous!! He shot our small wedding at the end of October. The weather wasn't on our side but he still got a range of shots from formal to fun and everything in between. The quality is amazing and we couldn't be any happier with the results. He doesn't just capture photos, he captures memories and for that we will be eternally grateful. More...

Ah, thank you Fiona. The weather could never have dampened the spirit of your day, it was just perfect. Thanks for having me along and thanks for your review. It's hugely appreciated. All the best to you and Kelvin

Steve is a total professional. He captured every single event and emotion of my wedding without anyone noticing he was even there. We are in love with every picture he took and we got them back while still on our honeymoon. I can’t praise him enough. Thank you Steve. More...

Amazing. Stephen is professional, absolutely lovely, fits in wherever he is, and has taken some absolutely beautiful shots from our day. We are both so pleased we booked with him.
We asked him to guide us when taking more set up pictures, which he did wonderfully.
He was able to tailor a package to suit our budget too. Highly recommend!! More...

We had the absolute pleasure of having Stephen as our wedding photographer in August and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Stephen's communication was excellent. He was prompt in responding to our inquiries, and he took the time to understand our vision for our special day.

One of the standout qualities of Stephen was how comfortable he made everyone feel. Stephen's warm and friendly demeanour put everyone at ease. He listened attentively to our desires and preferences, ensuring that he captured the atmosphere and emotions of the day perfectly.

What truly impressed us was Stephen's subtle attention to detail. He went above and beyond, even turning off the shutter sound during the ceremony to maintain the special moment. It's these small touches that demonstrate his commitment to creating a seamless and memorable experience.

Stephen ensured we had a range of photographs from candid shots to posed portraits. Every picture felt natural and captured the the day perfectly. We were so touched by how he managed to preserve the genuine emotions and candid moments throughout the wedding.

The speedy turnaround of our wedding photos was another pleasant surprise. Stephen wasted no time in delivering the images, allowing us to relive our special day shortly after the wedding. Additionally, his website provided a hassle-free way to share all the photos with our family without any additional charges, which was greatly appreciated.

In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Stephen without hesitation. His professionalism, exceptional communication, talent, and dedication to his craft make him an outstanding choice for capturing life's most cherished moments. We are already planning to enlist Stephen's services for future celebrations and parties because he captured the special moments of our wedding so perfectly.

Thank you Stephen, for being an integral part of our wedding day and for capturing beautiful memories which we will cherish forever. More...

Stephen could not have been a better choice for our wedding day. He totally understood what we wanted and went above and beyond to deliver an incredible service. He captured everybody!! And we had 300 guests and quite an unconventional wedding. The candid shots are beautiful and we will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Stephen for everything you did for us.

Best wishes

Hey both, thanks so much for lovely words. It was an absolute pleasure to shoot your day for you & your guests. And what a party! Thankyou for reviewing me and absolute best to you all

Stephen is absolutely amazing! I would 100% recommend! He did a consultation a few weeks before the wedding to see the church and talk through the day. Which made it really easy on the day ! Although we had some last minute changes Stephen was really chill throughout the day which made it smoother for myself and my husband to open up and have relaxing photos taken. I honestly fell like he made our day that extra bit special. Thank you for everything you did for us. We cannot wait to use your service again in the future xx More...

Well what can I say, Stephen was absolutely Amazing.
He gave such a personal touch to our wedding day, Even arranged to meet us before the day to go through what photos we wanted taken.
Absolutely fantastic on the day, he felt like one of the family!
From morning until late evening Stephen snapped all the photos we wanted and more.
He Tailored packaged to suit our needs. Very Highly recommend professional photographer.
Thank you again Stephen for being apart of our special day :-) More...

Absolutely amazing service! Stephen had no timings and came early in the morning until very late at night. He took time to travel to my house before the wedding and discuss what phots we wanted and what to expect on the day. Stephen was also good with all the children! The photos came through a couple of weeks after the wedding with an easy link to share with all the guests. Me and my partner have had so many compliments on the photos and how the day was captured. They are memories we will have for a life time.
Thank you! More...

Stephen was brilliant from day one. We originally looked for photographers in our area and came across Stephen.
From the initial contact we thought he was relaxed, friendly and wanted to do the best for us.
Once we met up he made us felt totally at ease, let us guide what we wanted but gave some ideas when we weren’t sure.
On the day he was like having a friend along, everyone commented on how good he was; fitting in and having a laugh, checking on us when we were nervous before the ceremony, but also fading into the background and getting the shots without being noticed.
Now we’ve seen the pictures we’re so pleased.
We can’t recommend him highly enough.

So glad we had Stephen as our photographer at our wedding. We knew as soon as we met him. He just slotted into the day and captured everything perfectly. The guests commented on how fantastic he was and now we have the images back we just know there's no way we could of got anyone better. Absolutely fantastic. Thankyou so much Stephen
Maria and Matthew More...

Wow, where to even begin.
Stephen is an absolutely incredible photographer and captured our day so perfectly that we both felt we relived every minute when we received our photos back.
From an initial phonecall to talk through the wedding right through to the day & even after Stephen was an absolute pleasure.
We both wanted our day to capture the love & laughter and this was done faultlessly by Stephen all of the photos tell the story the day.
Our guests all commented how brilliant he was and how he fitted so perfectly into our day.
Couldn’t recommend him highly enough from the high quality images, to the good fun that was shared & the guidance and help that he offered on our special day. More...

We booked Stephen with only a couple of months until our wedding and we couldn't of chosen better. He put us at ease from the moment we met him. He did an absolutely fantastic job with our photos and we couldn't be happier with them. All of our guests said how friendly he was towards them.
It was a really hot and sunny day and he still managed to get amazing photos despite the lighting not being on our side.
We are so grateful you were able to photograph our wedding with such short notice and we are beyond happy with everything you did. Thank you Stephen. More...

Stephen captured every moment of our special day perfectly! He always listened and communicated very effectively with us before and during our wedding. All of our guests commented how relaxed he made everyone feel- creating effortlessly beautiful and natural photographs for us to treasure. Thank you so much Stephen! Sarah and Tom More...

Sarah, thank you that's really kind. I loved yours & Tom's day and shooting it for you was an absolute privilege. Thank you for having me along

We had our wedding cancelled twice during Covid and had fallen out of love with the process. However, our local venue was recently licensed and we jumped at the chance. Our previous photographer couldn’t make it and we struggled locally, however, we placed an advert on Bark, having never heard of it and slightly sceptical. I really shouldn’t have been. We found Stephen and our musician on Bark.

Stephen and others got back to us with availability, however, it was Stephen’s site, reviews and profile that stood out to us as the one with the relaxed and accommodating attitude. My biggest worry was posing for photos and missing out on the day for lots of photos.

We could not have asked for a better photographer. We met a few weeks before the event with Stephen, we had a pint and chatted through what we liked and didn’t. He was so accommodating and supportive, mentioning some things we hadn’t even considered.

On the day, he was absolutely fantastic. He blended in with the guests and the party. All of our friends have commented on how relaxed he was, as we (we think we are a relaxed couple) want to be flexible and make moments fit as and when they occur without being obtrusive.

Even at the ceremony, we were joking and laughing, primarily at the registrars mishaps, which really made us feel at home and Charlotte (my wife) even mentioned that he’s so friendly and laid back, we should just go for a pint with him!

We’ve recently received all the photos and they are exactly what we wanted.

I couldn’t recommend Stephen highly enough. You will not be disappointed!

Thanks Stephen for such great photos and making it such a wonderful day.

Thank you both and it really was an absolute pleasure. Your friends & family made me so welcome and it was the most natural thing in the world to be carried along on their party spirit. I wish you both the absolute best for the future and we will have that pint!

Stephen shot our wedding at the beginning of May this year. Throughout the entire process he has been incredible. Both me and my wife do not enjoy being on camera; Stephen took this on-board and made sure all the photography was relaxed and casual. On the day, he asked us to be ourselves and have a laugh, so that's what we did! He perfectly captured our relationship without making us feel awquard or camera shy. Not only this, but he stayed late into the night to ensure the whole evening party was captured aswell.

We live 350 miles from where we got married and were quite anxious about the logistics of sorting a photographer. Stephen was very accommodating and we spent a few hours talking over the phone so he could build an idea of our relationship without the need to meet in person. He even offered to cancel his plans with a few hours notice if we happened to be in Hereford and had a spare few minutes to meet him. He is genuinely such a lovely person to have worked with.

The price was very reasonable for the service and photos we received. It was only a manner of days before we had access to our online gallery with our wedding photos on. We could not imagine a more perfect person for our wedding, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! More...

I recently used Bark to find a new wedding photographer after the one I had pulled out due to health issues. Stephen responded to my 'bark' and basically helped save the day. Stephen was so not only available for the date but flexible and friendly he was simply a great fit for the special day.
Stephen was amazing on the day, he is really good with names and excellent interacting with the wedding guests. I love the wedding photos I think they are amazing a great mixture of the typical group shots, some beautiful candid images and a few directed photos. I have to say I love them all. Stephen did such a great job. I couldn't rate him and his services more highly. More...

Stephen was a wonderful addition to our wedding. I enjoyed having him around at the prep and the day in general. We enjoyed our photos too and have lots to pick from. He was really relaxed and even was able to get our most nervous family member join in the photos! More...

Having been let down by our photographer we found Stephen after a search on Bark, He went out of his way to reassure us and we are so glad we found him, He is such a lovely guy, Martin and i are not a fan of pictures of ourselves but Stephen has taken some brilliant ones, he captured everything so beautifully and he was everywhere capturing both the action and the special moments, we thank our lucky stars we found him!! Thank you so much Stephen!

Thank you, Nick. I had a brilliant time shooting with you and thoroughly enjoyed your day. Thanks for having me along and I'll see you in York!

We had Stephen for our wedding on the 16th of April 2022. From the start communication was always great. We met up two weeks before the wedding and discussed our ideas and what photographs we wanted on our day. It was important to us for it all to feel relaxed, not lots of photos and people hanging around.
Stephen arrived on the day of the wedding and instantly put me at ease. He listened to me vent about my morning and then he smiled and we both laughed.
He talked to our guests, yet you would never know he was there taking pictures. Everybody commented on our photographer. The photographs are beautiful, they are just what my husband and I wanted. We would highly recommend him to others. We are so glad we picked you Stephen and thank you so much. More...

Sarah, it was an absolute pleasure. Your day was perfect and your family & friends were just brilliant. Please thank your Mum for her lovely words, too. You and David are perfect and gave me the best dance floor pictures ever!

We've just received our Wedding Album from Lumino Photography and couldn't be more thrilled. Stephen was relaxed, efficient, organised and made the photographs so much fun. The photos are so natural and captured our day perfectly. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you 🥂 More...

Thank you Guys for your lovely words. I loved your day and that no matter what the weather did, nothing was going to dampen your spirits. And we even saw Farmer Tim!

Throughout the whole process of planning our wedding, Stephen has been the one professional who managed to put me at ease. Discussing our requirements with him was like speaking a close friend or family member, I was ready to add him and his family to the guest list!

In trying to determine my needs he got me to open up about family dynamics, that I normally don't tell anyone. I was really impressed with Stephens manner. Unfortunately my circumstances changed and I didn't need a photographer after all but, the next event I have, I'll be using Lumino without a doubt if they're available. More...

So glad you like them, Tracy. Your wedding was brilliantly rock & roll, I loved every second. All the best to you and Jonathan

Really likeable guy, easy to get on with, very professional whilst still keeping everyone very relaxed

We used Stephen at Lumino Photography for our wedding in September 2021 and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, from taking the time to meet us in person before where we were able to discuss our specific needs and to let him know what we wanted from the day, to being professional and responsive to any questions we had leading upto our day, then most importantly capturing some beautiful moments and turning them around so quickly afterwards.

Lumino Photography surpassed any expectations we had and couldn't recommend them more!! More...

Hello Andrew, thanks so much. Really looking forward to your wedding Regards Stephen

We booked Stephen for our wedding 10th July 2021. Communication back and forth was always great. He also arranged to meet up with us before hand. Stephen turned up on time on the day. Stephen made us feel really relaxed like he wasn't even there at times, also made us laugh when needed. Very professional but also very friendly with it. He was great with our guests too! We would highly recommend him to others. We are so glad we picked you Stephen. More...
