I contacted Stephen on very short notice to undertake a detailed drone surveys on a property in Felbridge for a client of mine. He was extremely helpful and efficient, taking detailed photographs and video footage of a variety of residential buildings - including hard-to-access areas such as high-up roof slopes. This has proved extremely helpful in compiling a detailed Schedule of Condition for the property. Would thoroughly recommend his highly professional and friendly services to anyone looking for a skilled photographer and drone operator. More...

We had Stephen and billie photograph our wedding on 9th November 2024 and they both did an absolutely fantastic job. Stephen is professional and funny and captured everything perfectly. The video turned out amazing aswell. Ever since I got the photos back I can’t stop looking at them. It was amazing day and so happy to have them as part our big day I would recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a photographer. Katie & Lewis (Mr & Mrs Carpenter) More...

We had the best session with Stephen at his lovely studio. We did a mini Christmas photo shoot with my two little ones (3 &1). We all felt so comfortable and the kids loved it as well.

Have already booked Stephen as our wedding photographer and yesterday we went for a Christmas mini shoot. With 4 children we knew sitting in a studio for hours wouldn't be ideal so these mini shoots seemed perfect. We were in the studio for about 20 minutes and the photos are amazing. We are so pleased with them and will definitely be making this a yearly event. Cant wait for my wedding to see the magic he captures! 😊 More...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I 6 was an option that is what Stephen would get!! Where do we even begin? Choosing Stephen as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in great hands. His calm, friendly demeanour instantly put us at ease, which made the entire process so enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, Stephen was an absolute joy to work with. He blended into the background seamlessly, yet somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every candid laugh, tear, and loving glance. His ability to capture not just the big moments but the little in-between ones truly blew us away. We felt like he really understood us as a couple and managed to reflect that in every single shot. We’ve had so many guests comment on how incredible the photos turned out, and we couldn’t agree more! From the lighting to the composition, every image is a work of art. We’re so grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the essence of your love and make you feel special along the way, look no further than Stephen. We can’t thank him enough for his incredible work! Thank you Stephen from the bottom of our hearts! More...

Stephen was our wedding photographer last week, and was a joy to have on board on our big day! He was very professional in his photography but his personality and demeanour is fun & light hearted and put myself and all the bridal and groom party at ease. He got some amazing shots, ones we would never be able to get ourselves, and not even a week later sent us nearly 600 high quality photos - some very sweet, some very funny, all to be treasured and shared 💕 can’t thank you enough Stephen, thanks for making the day so fun and capturing our wedding beautifully high recommend!

I had a wonderful studio session with Steve a few months ago. I wanted some nice photos of my heart dog, my ageing German Shepherd Dog. Steve encouraged me to bring my other two dogs along as well and wasn’t at all phased by having three oversized furballs rummaging around the studio. They quickly relaxed and were surprisingly well behaved. The photos he took were absolutely fantastic and he even helped me to relax enough to join in with some of the shots. I was blown away by the collection of photos he sent me. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Talented, creative and a really nice chap who will make you feel relaxed and maybe even enjoy being photographed! More...

Well what can I say, apart from Stephen totally made my day. I met Stephen back in Jan 2021, were he was the photographer at my friends wedding and I was a bridesmaid, from the start I loved Stephen, immediately I knew that I had to have him to do my wedding photos out in Ibiza, thankfully Stephen was happy to help. . and to say that he helped was an understatement, he had so many ideas right from the start, especially ones that I wouldn’t have thought of. Not only is Stephens photography incredible he has a manner about him that is hard to put into words, he went out of his way to help me on my day, and made an effort to get to know the bridesmaids especially making a fuss of the younger ones. I can not recommend Stephen enough for the talent he is when it comes to his photography, especially if you are anything like me who hates having their photo taken by the end he will make you feel so special that you will be happy to smile away….

We have had Stephen photograph us twice now and each time has been so special. Not only does he produce incredible photos he made the whole experience amazing for us. Our wedding was during COVID November 2020 and not once did Stephen make us feel like it was a COVID wedding. The photos are so special and captured things we didn't have time to focus on, on the day. We then had a family photo shoot June 2023 and what an incredible experience. He captured our whole family so perfectly and made us all feel so comfortable. We cannot wait to go back in a year for our baby's 1 year photo shoot! Thank you thank you thank you!! More...

Q&As

Understanding your subject and listening to what they want

What is it exactly that they want and then discuss in detail how I think I can give it to them

The ability to make someone happy with something as simple as a photograph

I simply decided one day to take a hobby and turn it into a job! They say do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life!

It truly is a passion and I always aim to exceed my customers expectations, not just match them . . .

I go the extra mile, sometimes two . . . I also believe that the service is as important as the product

Not really, my service is very face to face and interactive with the customer.

Services

I specialise in people, so that’s weddings, portraits, portfolios, parties and corporate but can turn my hand to pretty much anything. Just ask!

I can offer videography as part of any wedding package but I don’t tend to offer it as a stand alone service.

I’m a qualified and insured UAV (drone to you and me) pilot and can offer high resolution drone photography (28mb for stills) and videography (up to 4K). Full editing service for videos.

Amazing for roof and chimney surveys, part of wedding photography/ ideography or estate agent videos for those larger properties. Or any other use you can think of.

I call it a photo booth as that is a term most people recognise, but it is far more than that.

Mine is a full mobile studio! So that’s a full width (4m) backdrop, me posing your guests and taking the photos and then handing the files off to an assistant who edits and prints the images to pro quality 6x9 prints your guests to take home on the day.

Perfect for parties, wedding receptions and corporate events where you want to offer your guests/clients that something a little bit special . . . .
