Amy & Andrew got married at Llechwen Hall which is 20 minutes from Cardiff and set on a stunning hilltop location surrounded by magnificent views of the Welsh countryside. The day started with wedding preparations at the hotel and the ceremony & reception were held in the Garden Marquee. We were lucky with the weather and were able to take a short trip to capture golden hour portraits on the mountain with stunning views of the valleys as our backdrop.
I booked Steve 2 years out from our wedding and it was an instant feeling that I knew I had to have him as our wedding photographer. Booking was seamless, Steve was extremely friendly and as excited for the wedding as I was! Steve also sent across wedding hints & tips with recommendations of other suppliers which I thought was a lovely touch as wedding planning and scouting for suppliers isn’t as easy as it seems!
I really wanted an opportunity to have a pre wedding photo shoot as both my partner and I are a bit awkward in front of the camera. When we first met Steve in person it was like we had known him all our lives, there was an instant connection, we spent the entire time laughing and giggling and the photos were INCREDIBLE!
In the run up to the wedding Steve was in touch with me regularly, we spoke on the phone a week before to calm any of my nerves which was a great help, again it was just like talking to a friend. On the day of the wedding, when Steve came to photograph bridal prep, I instantly felt calm and relaxed in his company.
He is such a professional and has this undeniable presence, seamlessly fitting in and making everyone comfortable. Steve really knows how to capture the ‘special’ moments, moments you don’t see as a bride or groom. The amount of really natural, candid photos I received in our wedding album were amazing. Steve captured the day for exactly what it was, fun, colourful and full of love, which Steve was part of 100%. Everybody commented on how professional, fun and approachable he was, and people are in awe of the photographs from our wedding.
I was genuinely sad when the time came for Steve to leave our wedding day, it really felt as though he had become part of our family & friends in such a short space of time.
If you haven’t booked your photographer yet, or are contemplating booking Steve for your wedding day, don’t hesitate any longer and book him. He was such a special part of our day and I can’t thank him enough for being as amazing, kind and lovely as he is.
Thanks Steve, you absolute legend xx
