Your presence felt more like a dear friend than a photographer. Your work is priceless — we would have gladly invested more for such beautiful photographs."

"There is no one else in the world that I think could have done a better job. He blended into our day so perfectly. After looking at our stunning photos there were so many occasions that we didn't even realise Ste was there. We are eternally grateful — thank you doesn't do it justice."

"While Ste's prices fell on the upper end of our budget, he was well worth the costs. The photos he delivered were everything we wanted and really captured our special day. He only required us to do a few posed shots and most of the photos were candid shots, which really captured the moments. It never felt awkward or forced at any point."
"I can't believe how beautiful our photos have come out. It's a wonderful thing to look through photos and feel transported back to the day because of how real and candid they are. You caught every little moment. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and for these photos the saying could not be more true."
"We wanted to say a huge Thank You for your hard work at our wedding open day. You not only worked tirelessly photographing our venue, producing the most atmospheric images, but your skills, professionalism and sense of humour made for a great day. Couples who have used you have raved about you — last weekend we had the opportunity to experience the Stephen Walker magic!"

It was like reliving every moment of the day all over again! Stephen gave us all the direction we needed but also encouraged us to just be ourselves. Don't hesitate to book him — his talent is truly special!"
"Stephen came to the Cotswolds to shoot our proposal — the photos were absolutely beautiful, and we'll treasure them forever. He made us both feel relaxed, and the pictures were all natural and not staged at all. He was also super speedy in turning around the photos. Would definitely recommend."
"You NEED Ste to photograph your wedding! After our first phone call we instantly knew we wanted him to capture our special day.

"Whilst researching wedding photographers, Ste was extremely helpful, prompt to respond to messages and did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anybody looking for a wedding photographer."
"Steven photographed our wedding last year and was honestly outstanding. His communication was spot on, professionalism and quality of work unbelievable. Our family and friends have openly said the photos were better than anything they have seen before. If you want the most incredible photos and a professional and smashing guy — book Ste."
"I simply cannot recommend Ste enough. From the first call, I knew he fully understood what we wanted. He is such a nice guy — so calm and chilled but so passionate and professional. He was amazing with our little girl and all our family and friends were so happy to have Ste around. The final photographs are incredible."
"We couldn't imagine our wedding without Stephen. His photos have allowed us to re-live again and again — they are absolutely incredible. Every photo takes us right back to the moment and emotion of the day. We all seem to be smiling from start to finish, which is exactly how it felt! We would highly recommend Stephen."
"Ste was such a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to capture our 3 day wedding in Kenya. He made everyone feel so comfortable, it was like he was part of our friends and family. He had all the energy and enthusiasm over three full on days to get the pictures that will last a lifetime. Nothing felt like too much to ask of him."
"I found Ste through Instagram and loved his pictures instantly. My husband doesn't warm to people very quickly, but after our zoom chat with Ste, he immediately said he is our photographer. Ste made us feel completely at ease on the day and so many of our guests said how amazing our photographer was. Ste is the best of the best!"
"After looking at our stunning photos there were so many occasions that we didn't even realise Ste was there taking photos. He blended into our day so perfectly. All our guests absolutely loved him — as did my rather strict dad. There is no one else in the world that I think could have done a better job. We are eternally grateful."
"Stephen Walker is amazing! He immediately made my partner and I feel at ease when photographing our wedding. He was punctual and managed to be everywhere at once. The end result was above and beyond our expectations. Ste, you are an amazing professional, photographer and friend. Thank You!!"
"'The most stunning photos I've ever seen' is what all of our guests have said. Ste captured all the essential elements of our wedding and all the beautiful features of Sicily. He made everyone feel comfortable — both English and Italian guests. My husband even enjoyed having the photos taken. Thanks so much Ste for such a magical day."
"From our first Skype meeting, we knew 1 minute in he was the guy for us. Every photo captured the raw emotion felt and had a dynamic editing style which is unrivalled. It is now 7 weeks since the wedding and we are still having a difficult time choosing which photos to frame. Hiring Ste was the best decision we made for our entire wedding."
"Ste is an incredible gifted photographer and we are so grateful for the beautiful photos he captured on the best day of our lives. Ste felt like a guest the entire day. Paying for a photographer is such a big financial commitment but booking Ste was the best decision we made for our entire wedding. I will never stop looking at the photos."
"We are so glad Ste was our wedding photographer! My husband and I generally hate having our picture taken, but Ste made us feel totally at ease — nothing felt too posed or awkward. The photos are absolutely beautiful and natural and make us smile whenever we look at them!"
"As soon as we found Stephen via his amazing photos and reviews we knew we'd found our wedding photographer. Our wedding photos are absolutely amazing. Stephen feels like another guest rather than a photographer — his great personality and humour put you at ease for the perfect photographic moments."
"We're so glad we chose Ste to photograph the wedding. We didn't even realise he was there most of the time but he was lovely to have around and made everyone feel at ease. He took a beautiful mix of documentary style candid photos and more posed shots which really captured the fun and emotion of the day."
"The photos are absolutely incredible and we couldn't be happier. You captured the story of the day perfectly — artistic, natural. Your personality and emotional intelligence is amazing! From the moment you arrived you knew how to put everyone at ease. You listened to our requests, made us feel special and had that amazing quality of being everywhere without us realising."
"Fast forward to the big day — what can we say really? Steven was prompt, professional and did absolutely everything expected of him, AND MORE. The finished product — WOWWWW! The photos are absolutely outstanding, 100% captured our big day. Words can't describe how much we would recommend Steven to anyone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
"Hiring Stephen to shoot our wedding was the best decision we made and was fantastic from start to finish. It is really hard to pick the right vendors for your special day and with Stephen you can well and truly tick that box and relax! We would highly recommend Stephen and could not be happier with our photos."
"Stephen was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was a complete professional throughout, keeping in constant communication from the point of booking all the way up to the day. Even with a date and venue change due to Covid, Stephen was flexible. Our photos came out amazing, capturing so many incredible moments throughout the day!"
"Ste photographed our daughter's wedding a few weeks ago. The photos captured every part of the day perfectly. Thank you Ste, you have given us wonderful memories of a perfect day."
"Ste was outstanding from start to finish! His candid style was perfect and he really captured the feeling of the day. He worked brilliantly with our videographer and together created a really calm and fun atmosphere for both us and our guests. We could not recommend Ste enough and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives."
"He managed to capture the whole of the day as it unfolded, with many relaxed shots but also many unguarded moments which we'll always treasure. His work is of the highest quality and has left us with the most fantastic record of a perfect day. I can't recommend him highly enough."
"Thank you Ste for capturing our wedding day so brilliantly. Your photographs certainly tell the story of our day. We didn't want to be away from our guests for too long and with the time we gave him he really captured some amazing photographs. Our family and friends commented on how nice Ste was and how well he blended into the day."
"It is hard to put into words how happy we are with the decision to have Ste as our wedding photographer. His calm and friendly nature really put us at ease on our special day — to be honest, we barely noticed he was there most of the time. The images are beautifully edited, so natural and something we will both treasure forever."
"Stephen was very attentive during our engagement photos and wedding events. Our events were during the height of COVID restrictions and Stephen was very proactive in adapting. We had multiple wedding events to reflect the various cultures involved and Stephen was very enthusiastic and respectful throughout. We love our wedding photos and highly recommend him."
"We can't recommend Ste enough — not only is he a brilliant photographer, but he made both of us feel super comfortable from the first time we chatted. Ste captured our day — the emotion, the smiles, the personalities — perfectly. We also had a great laugh during our couples shots, which is very impressive considering how little we both like having our photos taken."
"Apart from our couple and group photos, I hardly noticed Ste! He blended in so well with the rest of the guests. So many of our guests commented on how lovely he was. We now have our full gallery to re-live our day over and over again and can't thank Ste enough! I would highly recommend!"
"We came across Ste on Instagram and were blown away by the quality and creativity of his posts. From the first video call we hit it off straightaway. His photos really tell the story of our wedding in a way which allows us to relive the whole mood and every brilliant moment. As an added bonus, Ste is a great, genuine guy and we have kept in touch ever since."
"We cannot recommend Ste highly enough — if you are so lucky that he is available for your date, don't hesitate to book him!! The gallery amazed us, and the majority of our guests have contacted us asking to see more photos. For the one day when you don't want to risk the images not being dreamy, Ste is 100% the man to trust."
"We placed a lot of importance on who to choose as our wedding photographer. We chose Ste as we loved the style of his photos. We are not naturals in front of the camera at all, but Ste made us feel relaxed all day. We're delighted with the photos and would recommend him to anybody looking for a reportage style photographer."
"Ste flew out to Cyprus to photograph our wedding and from the moment we booked until now having our photos, he has always kept in contact, kept us informed and most importantly kept us at ease with no pressure on our wedding day. The photos and video he made are absolutely fantastic and capture our day perfectly."
"My partner recently proposed in the beautiful Lake District and Stephen added a magical touch to the proposal by photographing all the beautiful moments. Stephen was brilliant at making us comfortable and at ease which was so important since we had never done anything like this before. The photographs are stunning and really capture the moments beautifully."
"If you want beautiful, natural and heartwarming photographs of you and your loved ones, Ste is the photographer for you. My fiancé and I are not confident in front of cameras at all but the pictures we received from our engagement shoot were so lovely and relaxed. We had an absolute blast that day and can't wait to see how our wedding day is captured."
"Daniel and I highly recommend Stephen! The photos were absolutely gorgeous. He is personable and professional, and fit right in with my family and friends. He made me and my husband feel so comfortable and relaxed during our shoot — it was easy to just have fun with it! Everyone has nonstop complimented us on how beautiful the photos are."
"Stephen captures things in a way that you'll want to look at your photos again and again. When we look at our photos now we don't only remember what it looked like — we remember what it FELT like. He's a really approachable and friendly guy to have around. Truly recommend him."
"We could not thank Ste enough for our wedding photos! We felt no pressure on the day, everything ran smoothly and he captured some of the best pictures when we didn't realise he was there! Absolute professional and great photographer, would recommend to anyone who is planning their wedding!"
"Stephen has been most understanding on how much certain moments meant to us. He knew we don't want staged pictures and he did not disappoint. He is very pleasant and calm. His photos let us relive the day and we are finding new details every time we look at them. It feels as the day comes alive again. To anyone out there — look no further. He is the one!"
"Stephen went above and beyond for our photos. He has such a flair for getting the right photos but also letting us enjoy our day. Professional from start to finish. Our photos are very personal in their presentation yet with a modern flair. I can't recommend Stephen enough. His photos speak for themselves."
"Ste is a fantastic photographer! His pictures are stunning and capture everything you could wish for on the day. He is also a genuinely great guy who has a clear passion for what he does, and we felt incredibly comfortable with him. We feel lucky that we found him, and cannot recommend him enough!"
"If your searching for a wedding photographer, your search ends here. Our wedding was amazing and the experience was relived when we viewed our wedding pictures with Ste. There were no awkward posing, all natural pictures taken at real time throughout our day. Our guests all commented on how friendly and approachable Ste was. Amazing and couldn't thank him enough."
"I can't recommend Ste enough. He has the talent to capture raw emotion and the candid shots you only dream of having on your wedding day. A lovely guy too. Don't even look further."
"We had the most amazing day! I wanted to thank Stephen for making our day extra special. We absolutely love our photographs — they are beautiful and each tell a different story. So many people commented on how subtle you were throughout the day. You made us feel both at ease through the whole day. Thank you so much."
"What had caught my eye about his photos was his highly emotional captures, very creative use of lighting and angles, and natural but crisp colour grading. These traits were absolutely reflected in our final photos. We received many guest comments along the lines of 'how did he manage to get me smiling in EVERY photo?'. It was an absolute delight to work with Ste."
"We can't recommend Ste enough. We are beyond happy with our pictures, and people are always commenting on how beautiful they are. He made us feel so comfortable which meant we got the best out of the pictures on the day. I love how involved Ste got in the shots — really getting in on the action, meaning you really feel the emotion behind the pictures. 10 out of 10."
"When my husband and I were looking for a photographer we happened to stumble across Ste. How lucky we were! I even cried when looking at the portfolio photos on his website — they were just so packed with emotion! On the day itself Ste just became one of the guests. His photos have captured our day perfectly and tell our story. We cannot recommend Ste highly enough!"
"From the pre-wedding shoot that calmed our in-front-of-camera nerves, to the actual big day, Ste was energetic, creative, and adaptive. He made the most of the British weather and gave us so many great shots to choose from. He really captured the beauty of our loved ones and the location, and we are so pleased with our wedding album."
"We chose Steve as our wedding photographer because we really liked how his images capture the moment and the energy of the people. He completely understood what we wanted. When we received the photos we couldn't believe some of the shots he had captured — we didn't know he was there! We would absolutely urge you to use Steve for your wedding."
"Then we met Ste! He managed to get me to put all my fears to one side after the first meeting and actually feel excited about photographs! I'm actually looking forward to the pics and I never thought I'd think that! Can't recommend Ste enough — not only for his amazing style and the way he tells the story of your wedding, but for his personality and how comfortable he makes you feel."
"We really liked how his images capture the moment and the energy of the people, and we liked the documentary style. Steve was really easy going and accommodating, and he totally understood what we wanted. At the wedding he was really great to be around. He took loads of photos without us even noticing, and we are really happy with the results."
"Ste made us feel so relaxed that we forgot all about the awkwardness and just enjoyed the day. We had so much fun and laughed the whole day and Ste was there to capture it all. Because of this, our wedding photos are the most treasured keepsake of our day. We would 100% recommend Ste to anybody who wants beautiful natural photos."
"The photographs he created captured both the memories and the energy of the day perfectly. From the ceremony through the wedding party pictures, to quiet shots of us both, all the way through to capturing the electricity of our guests dancing to a live band, Ste was always in the right place for the perfect shot. He really is a master of his art."
"We wanted natural pictures throughout our day and as much time enjoying the day with our guests as possible — and that's exactly what Ste did! Our wedding pictures are exceptional. Ste got to know us as people and we felt comfortable with him straight away. It isn't the easiest having your pictures taken and Ste made it so much fun for us both! Thank you so much."
"At the same time that he is on duty photographing you, it's like he isn't even there — you're not overly aware of yourself and trying to look a certain way. He captures you and your family exactly as you are and it really shows in the result. It's not an easy thing to do to bring a feeling of familiarity while being so incognito. You can do no better than having Ste capture your big day."
"We have all said 'I didn't even notice Ste shooting at that point at the time!' — I think this is a really sure sign of an excellent photographer. Ste has the personality you want around on such a precious day, as well as the professionalism and sheer skill that make his work epic. To sum it up — thank you a million times!"
"We both feel absolutely elated and overwhelmed with the work that you have done. Looking back through all of the photos we can both remember how we felt at that exact time, things we said, little jokes and moments together. I know that every time we look at our photos, whether that be tomorrow or twenty years from now, I will be able to remember every second and feeling from our day."
"Ste kept in touch throughout the run up to our wedding, which put me at ease as I could feel his excitement for us and our big day. Throughout the whole day Ste didn't stop — just constantly capturing every moment, every facial expression, tears, smiles, things that I didn't even know were happening as you're so caught up in your own emotion."
"We laughed and cried our way through the photos as if we were reliving the day again! Ste did the most amazing job of capturing our day. I couldn't recommend Ste enough to anyone — if you're considering booking, just do it. It'll be the best decision you make for your wedding. Ste… thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"We met Ste initially through winning his Facebook competition for an engagement photoshoot. We loved his style of pictures, and the way he captures little moments without asking you to do any specific poses. Our wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful, all of our guests have praised the quality. All of the pictures feel very natural."
"Stephen has been most understanding and he did not disappoint us. Stephen fits right in with the crowd. He guided us and our guests through the process and is honest and shares his thoughts and knowledge. He has the talent to capture the emotions of the day. His photos let us relive the day and we are finding new details every time we look at them."
"We would 100% recommend Ste! We were so nervous on the lead up to meeting Ste for our engagement shoot as we had never had a professional photoshoot before. As soon as we met Ste he made us feel at ease and kept us laughing and smiling the whole evening! We truly would recommend Ste if you want to have a relaxed and fun experience of photography!"
"Steve really knows how to make you feel comfortable around the camera. Loved the outcome of the photos. 100% use him again."
"It was a pleasure to work with him. He found lots of fantastic angles to shoot from, creating artistic and visually powerful imagery. I would happily recommend Stephen as a photographer and wish him well for the future."

Such natural pictures and of things we wouldn't have seen on the day. We are so grateful to Stephen. So many people worry about so many things for a wedding but when it's all over all you have are the pictures."
"He has the rare ability to perform in the most professional manner whilst also making you and your guests relaxed so that you can enjoy the day. The pictures he took were absolutely superb and perfectly represent the best day of our lives. I would highly recommend Stephen Walker Photography to be part of and capture your special day."
"This Liverpool wedding photographer was a true delight to have. Not only professional but made you feel relaxed and confident throughout. Catching natural soft images that really brought out the love and warmth of the wedding. Beautiful. I would recommend him to anyone. A*****"
"Ste is everything I wanted in a family photographer and more! He has a fantastic way of capturing little moments in the most natural way. I've just booked him to do my wedding — see you again soon Ste!"
"Our wedding was amazing and mostly because of Stephen. The photos we now have from our day is something we can keep forever and show our children in the future. You were more like a friend than a photographer. You laughed with us, were there for us. You weren't like any photographer we had ever met at a wedding. You wouldn't have even known you were there."
"Had such a great time getting some photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. They really are photos of 'us' — not staged or pretend. Ste was brilliant with the children and made it so much fun! It's rare to get a photo of us all together but to have a choice of so many brilliant ones with genuine smiles is exceptional!"
"Talented, Truthful and Engaging. For Richard and I, we wanted a photographer we could trust and the most important thing for us was that you caught moments of our family. We are beyond pleased with the work you have done. The photos are stunning and we barely noticed you were there. If you want the best photos without having to spend hours posing then he is 100% your guy."
"I love how you manage to capture amazing photographs with your unique natural style. You have an eye to shoot that memory we all want to save. The photos you have done for me will be cherished for generations. Thank you."

"I can't recommend Stephen Walker highly enough. I've worked with him a few times and his photos are always outstanding. The images he captures and edits really come to life and tell a magical story. He's a true professional with real passion for what he does. As an added bonus he is a lovely bloke and will make sure all his work exceeds his clients' expectations."
"I've seen Ste very quickly develop a unique signature style that consistently delivers high end wedding photography time and time again. He is growing so fast and will no doubt become one of the most sought after wedding photographers in the very near future. I love his candid style that always captures not only a story but the emotion of the day."
"We booked Stephen for some family pictures with our daughter. The smiles were genuine and natural, as he masterfully captured the moment. We were so happy with the results and they now take pride of place in our home. Ultimately the best recommendation comes from our daughter — every now and again she looks at the pictures and says 'that was a fun day.'"
"Ste was our wedding photographer. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Such a talented photographer. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, he got exactly what we wanted and our photos are absolutely stunning. So glad we found him!"

"Ste has a great eye for natural and beautiful pictures. He has a relaxing and friendly demeanour while remaining professional. He recently photographed my 89 year old aunt and made her feel totally comfortable and at ease. You just have to look at Ste's portfolio to see that he's always going to be worth booking. 5 star!"
"I hired Stephen to photograph my sister's wedding this summer and he was so impressive, better than we had hoped for! His kindness, lightness, hard work, generosity and unique style make him the success he is. Highly recommend working with him!"
"Stephen was honestly awesome. He understood what I wanted and the photos were captured in a story telling format. I wasn't looking for the typical wedding photographer — I wanted a more natural story capture concept. Stephen delivered exactly that. Definitely recommend him."
"For anyone looking for a wedding photographer look no further — you've found your man! He is like Linford Christie running round not missing a single magic moment. Will capture every shot — things even you didn't see on the day. He is so friendly, everyone at the wedding commented on what a nice guy he was even the staff at the venue!"
"We were lucky enough to have an engagement shoot with Ste and we loved the experience. Ste is such a lovely guy, who puts you at ease and we are thrilled with the photos. Thank you again Ste. Love, Lauren and Harrison."
"We loved how you made us feel at ease while capturing some amazing shots. The instructions you gave us were so simple with incredible outcomes. We love how you captured so many special moments without being at all intrusive. I would bet my last penny that you would deliver another excellent service to any bride."
"Feeling so grateful to have come across Ste's work. We met at Formby beach and had such a great day — felt at ease straight away with Ste. You can tell straight away how much love and passion he has for his work. We received the photos very quickly and they are fab. Thank you so much — we will definitely be recommending you."
"Had such a good time with Ste — we were both really nervous and unsure what to expect but he made us feel relaxed and had us talking and laughing throughout. Thank you!!"
"We had an engagement photo shoot with Stephen — we were a little nervous at first as we had both not done anything like this before. Stephen put us right at ease and we had a great time! We got some incredible photos and would definitely recommend Stephen Walker Photography."
"Not sure how to start… Ste is not only an amazing photographer who puts you at ease when in front of the camera — he is also an awesome teacher. He put us at ease straight away and created some quality images. Along the few hours Ste taught me a lot to do with photography, from directing couples to the right lighting! Thank you Ste."
"Before we knew it I was back to my normal self and it was the weekend of the photoshoot. After the first five minutes we both relaxed and two hours flew by and we were having so much fun! As we went along Stephen showed us the shots and it was so exciting to see the results. Needless to say we contacted him within 24 hours and booked him for our wedding!"
"Me and Minnie loved our photoshoot at Ruff Wood today. Minnie might have been a bit of a diva but she enjoyed herself. Thanks Ste, can't wait to see the photos tomorrow."
"We booked Stephen for our wedding as well as a pre-wedding shoot. The whole pre-shoot was a lot of fun and Stephen really put us at ease — the resulting photos are awesome. We can't wait for the wedding itself and he's been nothing but a pleasure to deal with throughout."
