Stephen Walker Photography

We cannot recommend Ste highly enough - if you are so lucky that he is available for your date, don't hesitate to book him! My husband and I wanted someone who would capture the emotion and unique moments of our day, which Ste did perfectly. The gallery amazed us, and the majority of our guests have contacted us asking to see more photos! Ste and his colleague Adam were also just the loveliest people.

On the morning Ste came and introduced himself to my whole party (without camera!) so that when he started to take photos it felt incredibly natural and fun. By the end of the night we didn't want them to leave the party! For the one day when you don't want to risk the images not being dreamy, Ste is 100% the man to trust.

My husband and I knew we wanted Ste as our wedding photographer the moment we saw his online gallery on his website. After an informative and friendly zoom call, we were even more convinced! Ste is extremely knowledgeable which made us feel at ease and that everything photo-wise was handled without any input needed from us (though he was happy to take on board anything we were specific about).

Apart from our couple and group photos, I hardly noticed Ste! He blended in so well with the rest of the guests, being extremely friendly while still capturing the most beautiful photos. So many of our guests commented on how lovely he was which made us feel great for choosing the perfect photographer. Before, during and since the wedding, Ste has been very communicative. 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 we were blown away by the quality and creativity of his wedding posts. His photos were unlike anything we had ever seen and we knew his style would compliment our venue and New Year's Eve-themed wedding perfectly. From the first video call that we had with him, we hit it off straightaway and we could tell that he was exactly what we were after from our wedding suppliers.

As we were getting married in Ireland during a pandemic we needed to make sure that he could travel and he put our mind completely at ease. He was so patient and flexible and understanding. We met Ste in person before the wedding and we would highly recommend doing this as it gave us an opportunity to get to know him, and for him to get to the heart of what we wanted from our wedding pics.

This meant that we didn't have to worry at all about the photography element of our wedding and when Ste turned up, he got straight to work, without any awkwardness or formalities. He was in the mix straightway, capturing all the important moments and it was so refreshing to know that all of that was in good hands. His photos really tell the story of our wedding in a way which allows us to relive the whole mood and every brilliant moment.

We were so happy with the quality of Ste's photography and one thing I found really special is how he managed to capture the personalities of our friends and family so well, so that all of our wedding guests loved the photos almost as much as we do. As an added bonus, Ste is a great, genuine, guy and we have kept in touch ever since.

We can't recommend Ste enough - not only is he brilliant photographer, but he made both us feel super comfortable from the first time we chatted, all the way through to the actual day. We are so so happy with the photos. Ste captured our day - the emotion, the smiles, the personalities - perfectly. Everyone commented on what a great guy he is and how well he fitted in, and he never missed a shot (no idea how he does it all solo!). We also had a great laugh during our couples shots - which is very impressive considering how little we both like having our photos taken. All we can say is thank you again!

Stephen was so attentive and details of his photography for our engagement photos and wedding events. Our events were during the height of COVID restrictions however Stephen was very proactive in adapting to the situation and our specific requests + requirements. We had multiple wedding events to reflect the various cultures involved and Stephen was very enthusiastic and respectful throughout.

We love our wedding photo and have received numerous compliments. We highly recommend Stephen as a wedding photographer. We will be contacting Stephen to photograph future events.

It is hard to put into words how happy we are with the decision to have Ste as our wedding photographer. Ste is such an incredible photographer with a natural eye for capturing the essence of weddings, the guests and their emotions. His calm and friendly nature really put us at ease on our special day and to be honest, we barely noticed he was there most of the time. The images he as produced are beautifully editted, so natural and something we will both treasure forever. Thank you so much Ste!

Hannah and Andy chose Ste as their wedding photographer and we're all so glad they did! As the Mother of the Bride I didn't know what to expect but Ste was so professional whilst also being able to put everyone at ease. He was there during the preparations but was so discreet that we hardly noticed he was there, I felt this was very important as it's essential that the bridal party feels comfortable with the photographer 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. If you are looking for a relaxed, calm and professional photographer. Ste is your guy. We didn't want to be away from our guests for too long on our wedding day and with the time we gave him he really captured some amazing photographs of us both, capturing the beautiful scenery which was the backdrop to our day.

Our family and friends commented on how nice Ste was and how well he blended into the day. We had good communication with him from first contact to post wedding follow up. Thanks again! E & P

Stephen was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was a complete professional throughout the whole process, keeping in constant communication with us from the point of booking him all the way up to the day of the wedding. Even with a date and venue change due to Covid, Stephen was flexible and endeavoured to meet our needs. On the actual day of the wedding he was great, arriving at the venue super early and taking his time to get to know all of the bride and groom party.

He seamlessly integrated into the wedding ceremony and reception and our photos came out amazing, capturing so many incredible moments throughout the day! We would highly recommend Ste and his photography services for weddings and special occasions.

We chose Steve as our wedding photographer because we loved the laid back style of his work. We didn't get a chance to meet him in person before the day but spoke to him on the phone several times. He completely understood what we wanted to achieve and on the day he simply turned up and created magic! We are SO pleased with the results, in fact they massively exceeded our expectations. Steve was friendly to us and all of our guests and he blended into the background perfectly (don't take that personally Steve!).

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 / special occasion. We have already recommended him to some friends who are getting married later this year.

Ste brought our wedding to life in ways which we couldn't have ever envisaged. We chose Ste because of his philosophy to 'shoot weddings from the inside out'; being close to the action, capturing all of the love and fun. He did just that, while getting along with our guests super well. We are so happy and know that we made the biggest decision (who to shoot the wedding), our best decision.

From the first time I saw Ste’s work I knew he’d be the guy for us - we loved the emotion and natural moments he was able to capture from all of his weddings. We first met Ste 18 months before our wedding and felt instantly at ease, he spoke about how he understands that it can be awkward to have your photo taken and as such tries to be as quick and discreet as possible… sold!

Fast forward 17 months and we met again for our pre-wed shoot. Ste did a great job at putting us at ease when he was taking our photos and within no time we’d forgotten about the camera and were just having a good time. The photos he captured here were amazing and made us so excited for our wedding. When it came to the wedding Ste fitted in like one of our guests and it was a pleasure to have him there.

We had so many comments from guests about how good Ste was at being in the right place at the right time and how excited they were to see the photos as ‘they could tell they will be good.’ We received our photos earlier this week (around 6 weeks after the wedding) and made a night of it to go through them – I actually would recommend doing this to all future couples. Ste did the most amazing job of capturing our day!

We laughed and cried our way through the photos as if we were reliving the day again! 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 absolutely love all of our photos and will enjoy reliving our day over and over through them.

When my husband and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding 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! From our first meeting over Skype, Ste was just so approachable. He answered all our questions but most importantly his natural photography style that played with the light available to him was what won us over.

Before the wedding we opted to have a pre-wedding shoot. This was such a good way of getting acquainted with Ste but also to get used to being in front of the camera. On the day itself Ste just became one of the guests, he blended in, and that meant everyone was super comfortable with him and therefore ensuring we got the best photos. His photos have captured our day perfectly and tell our story. Check out the attached highlight overlooking Derwentwater for a sample of our day... In short, we cannot recommend Ste highly enough!

This Liverpool wedding photographer was a true delight to have. Not only professional but made you feel relaxed and confident throughout his shoot. Catching natural soft images that really brought out the love and warmth of the wedding. Beautiful. I would recommend him to anyone. A*****

We loved your documentary style of photography. From your previous shoots on your website and Instagram we could see how you capture raw emotion instead of staged happiness and that’s exactly what we wanted. From the first point of contact you were professional yet completely approachable. You listened to what we wanted and added your own twist on things.

You were more than flexible and everything seemed so personal; from phone calls to emails getting to know us as a couple and what we wanted from a photographer. There are no words to describe the work you’ve done. You’ve delivered everything we could have dreamed of and more. You’ve gone above and beyond to ensure we have the photographic memories we wanted.

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. I can guarantee he will go above and beyond and the end product will be everything you’d wished for. Excellent value for service, although I don’t think you can put a price on pictures like yours! We are in awe of your work and will cherish them forever.

I can't recommend Ste enough. He made us all feel so at ease, made us laugh and felt like one of our friends. You captured our wedding in the most amazing way, I can't thank you enough.

Ste photographed my brothers wedding, Amazing photographer! It felt like he was part of the wedding party, very relaxed and made everyone feel comfortable, was really good with the kids too! The wedding photos are beautiful, and managed to capture special natural moments! Will definitely be booking for a family photo shoot!

Ste is absolutely brilliant he will give anyone the time of day goes out of his way to do anything for you making you feel as comfortable as he can with no awkward moments which is good when getting photography done. Thanks ste see you at the wedding .

I was thrilled to win a free photo shoot for my family with Ste. We had a really fun shoot in the woods and Ste took some amazing photos, so great that we still can't decide which ones to put into print!! Ste is a great guy, friendly, easy going and my daughter really took a shine to him. I highly recommend Ste and would definitely book with him again

When Ste come out to do the shoot of my horse and I, he made me feel so at ease, he was very professional and calm around the horses. The photos are so amazing, I was so moved by the slide show, I cried happy tears. I'm over the moon that I now have these memories and photos forever.
Ste listened to me and took photos of what I wanted. He was very patient with myself and Frank - especially when he kept fidgeting. Ste said he had plenty of time so I didn't feel rushed at all.

At the end of the shoot when he had all of the shots that he wanted, Ste still offered his time to me for a little longer to see if there was anything else I wanted to be done. I was asked how Ste could improve his services. Honestly? Nothing, I can't fault him. Very professional! If someone asked me about Ste, whether or not they should have a shoot with him, I would say DO IT!

No hesitation whatsoever, do it. My favourite part of the shoot would be everything. You made me feel special, centre of attention. You made me realise through your photos how special my bond is between me and my animals and that isn't something that is done with ease. Which is my favourite photo? That's so hard, they're all so perfect. I love them all for many different reasons. And finally, thank you Ste for this amazing opportunity.

The work you've done Ste, was high quality, professional & the afternoon that we spent with you was magical. We were most pleased with the rapport you had with our children, the gentle but fun voice that made them feel comfortable & open up to your requests! We didn't know what to expect, having not done this sort of thing before & it exceeded our expectations.

The photographs that you took for us were natural, you made the best use of the setting & captured the enjoyment & fun nature of the afternoon spent with you. Our favourite part was watching our children enjoy 'playing' rather than the stereotypical 'posing' that you would expect from another photographer! We would door all over again, you are a truly talented & friendly guy!

Our main fear was the weather! But it turned out to be a gorgeous morning! My personal fear was that the camera wouldn't be kind to me but I'm made up with the pictures! The pictures Ste has produced are amazing quality. Our first set of family/couple photos and we couldn't be happier with them. Some of the photos look like we were simply having a moment and Ste was just a fly on the wall and captured it!

It didn't fee staged.
Ste took an interest in us as people, he wanted to know all about us. It made the experience more personal and in turn made us more comfortable indront of the camera. He also had to contend with the children, which didn't phase him whatsoever!! When we made suggestions he took them on board and explained if it would or wouldn't work and why, educating us a little bit!

We had to think hard about if there was anything he could improve on!! But we actually couldn't find a fault with what Ste did! Like we mentioned earlier, he explained why our suggestions would or would not work rather than just dismissing them. We would tell anyone contemplating Ste as a photographer that if they wanted a personal, professional, high quality service then Ste is the person to go with. He captured some gorgeous moments of us all on our shoot, some I didn't think would work or come out right. He is genuinely great at what he does!

We have just got received our wedding photos back and I honestly can’t rate Ste high enough! Professional, kind makes you feel comfortable (and that coming from someone who doesn’t like their picture being taken) Ste has a real talent and it shows through his pictures. I can’t thank him enough for his service and our pictures. We will enjoy them for the rest of our lives.

I truly believe that pictures are so important - they capture a memory and make sure you never forget it. Anyone looking for a photographer- look no further. I promise you - you won’t find better!
