Capturing the preparation, ceremony and party, Steve's photos really give a sense of the emotion and essence of our special day. His patience in getting the shots that were important to us and also using his creative eye for capturing the best of the guests and the venue was wonderful! The photos of the evening are just superb, capturing the less formal laughter and fun that really show what our day was about. Professional, creative and a huge part in helping us reflect on such a special day! We just cannot recommend Steve highly enough.

Couldn't be more happy with our wedding photos - Steven worked around a list we provided with ease. Our whole day went smoothly & he captured off guard photos which showed the natural expression of the guests.
He made us laugh during the snaps for natural smiles. Travelled from the Isle of Wight to West Sussex. Pricing very good & the the photos are fantastic, very pleased with ours. Thank you once again Steven, you did a brilliant job and made our day that extra bit memorable with these amazing snaps.

Steve Collins is a natural born photographer. His skill and professionalism shone through in every photo he took of our wedding. His ability to 'see' a unique shot meant we ended up with not only the traditional wedding portfolio, but also a range of candid and interesting shots which bring back happy memories with every viewing. Many of our guests mentioned how good Steve was at making them feel at ease in the photos and he helped to make our Wedding Day the best it could have been.
