Super professional photographer that captured our day superbly!

We found Pike Photography through our marquee hirers. Stephen has been nothing but professional throughout our dealings with him, he was wonderful on the day and really did blend in, we almost forgot he was there..! We thought it was so good that he would see a moment for a great photo shoot and grab us to go and do it, one was as the sun was setting and we just managed to get outside in time to get the sun setting behind us..! We loved how Stephen captured our day. Thank you so much Stephen, Gemma & Joe, Hertfordshire

Everything we wanted 📸

We booked Stephen for our wedding on 20th July 2024. We was both really worried about a photographer taking us away from our day hours on end to have photos taken and having to stand there being forced to pose - Stephen did none of that! He look us away to spots he knew would get a good photo, he knew which times of the day would be best to take us so we didn’t miss anything (while people were finishing food ect)
He was so discreet in the morning you wouldn’t have even known he was there!
He knew all the best shots and angles so we could get photos done quickly - he listened to exactly what we wanted & 100% came through with it!

We even got a little selection of photos 48 hours after the wedding which ment the world to me as my grandad was suddenly unable to make our day - we had something to show him straight after.

Thankyou for being everything we asked for & capturing our day & us so perfectly - sorry for not being the best models 🤣

Lots of love
Mr & Mrs Swanton xx

Incredible photographer

We had Stephen as our wedding photographer and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Firstly his photographs are beautiful, he’s captured the day so well. We particularly love the personal photos he took where the three of us went off, some amazing shots. He did a pre meeting with us which really helped and allowed us to get to know each other. Stephen is incredibly professional, went above and beyond and he’s really lovely guy to have at your wedding. Thank you Stephen, you really helped make our day.

Perfect wedding photography!

We engaged Stephen for our wedding on 18th May 2024 after being taken with his wonderfully natural, colourful photography style. We definitely made the right choice of photographer!

Stephen was communicative and professional in the build up to the wedding, showing examples of what had worked well previously and sharing ideas. On the big day, he was a great addition, making sure everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera and directing us where needed to get the perfect shots. We were also impressed by Stephen's creativity; he had scoped a number of spots for our 'golden hour' to create the most gorgeous backdrops and was able to truly capture the atmosphere and personalities of the day with his camera. His experience certainly shines, with so many special moments captured without being at all intrusive - we barely noticed he was there during the candid shots, but somehow nothing was missed!

The results were absolutely stunning and we are delighted with our (enormous!) gallery, which was delivered much quicker than we anticipated - we even woke up the next day to a few preview shots!

If you are considering booking Pike Photography we can highly recommend. We will cherish our gallery for many years to come - thank you Stephen!
