Steven Kelly Photography

Steven was a Godsend to us as we lost our original photographer to Covid days before our wedding. From the moment we first spoke we were confident he was a great match, he was calm, professional and just genuinely such an easy going guy. I personally didn't want really posed photos and he was just there in the background on the day, making us feel at ease. Highly recommend and absolutely delighted with his service from start to finish

What can we say about Steven and the service he provides? There really aren’t enough words to express how absolutely over the moon we are - but we will try our best. My new hubby and I were in an awful predicament four days before our wedding as our wedding photographer, who had been booked for 4 years, messaged to say they had covid. Needless to say, we were panicking and trying to reach out to different family members for some assistance. A friend of mine directed me to the ‘Help! I’m getting married’ Facebook page and I posted our situation. I also used their suppliers page and I found Steven on there and messaged, not seeing he had also messaged me on the Facebook post too! We got to chatting, Steven is so responsive and really took an interest in my groom and I’s wedding vision. Which was relaxed but with some important family shots. Steven told us about his experience and directed us to his instagram and FB pages. Straight away we knew we wanted him by just how personal his pictures are. His framing on individuals is spot on and he captures his subjects smile so naturally that we knew we would all be at ease with him around. We spoke at length on the phone discussing what we as a couple would like, about how we met and got engaged and then Steven told us a bit more about himself. We organised the time for the day of the wedding and we looked forward to meeting him. The morning of the wedding, Steven walked into the kitchen of my grandmothers house - full of women! He was just as we expected, friendly, approachable and professional. He began by taking some lovely natural action shots of me getting my make up done. Not only that, he included everyone and that was exactly what we wanted. A wedding is a family affair after all! Steven then set up some lovely shots of the wedding accessories and parts of the garden that were sentimental for myself. It’s was all so well coordinated and he never seemed phased by my asking for certain shots. Steven also was keen to capture the emotion of day and everyone was comfortable to show it in-front of him - including my dad. Steven then travelled to the ceremony venue to meet my husband and as soon as Ian and I had a moment to ourselves, it was a very sweet “you look beautiful” followed by an “oh my goodness! We were so lucky to find Steven! He’s amazing!”. That was the opinion all around for the rest of the day too! What really made the day for us having Steven as our photographer was, the fact he made sure to pull us away from our guests for some pictures of just Ian and I. It didn’t feel like a chore or a process we had to go through for the sake of it. But a chance for us as newly weds to have some time, to chat, laugh, look at our beautiful venue and just capture US. Steven stayed with us until the Father/Daughter dance and once he left everyone was asking for him. Everyone mentioned how lovely, relaxed, friendly and professional he is. We have had our shots back and all the above is definitely reflected! We don’t know which to pick to print as they are all so carefully captured and really tell the story of the day! 10/10 for Steven. Would 100% recommend and we wish him every success in his photography!
