Steve Harrowing Photography

This is such a hard question to answer because I've loved all of my weddings but I did get to cover 2 weddings for the same family. They were so memorable because even though the venues/styles were entirely different I really felt that I connect with everyone single person because they were all willing to just be themselves, be open, have a great time and throw a kick-ass party!

Genuine, Fun, Romantic, Honest and Personal

As a photographer I have seen plenty of weddings that have huge gaps in between the events of the day, and that can cause what we in the industry call a "lull". It's horrible to think about, but its just what I've observed. Nobody wants their guests to be bored at their wedding. So if you foresee potential lulls make sure to put on mini-events like garden games, champagne towers, sparklers etc. And, if you want that incredible raving dancefloor that most want at a wedding, you have to be dancing too. Your guests are there to celebrate with you, not without you.

I love the trend where everyone takes a shot together after the vows, or the couple having their favourite drink available for guests after the ceremony. It really sets the mood from ceremony to celebration.

Umbrellas and an open mind. If you can bare getting a little wet on your wedding day, rainy pictures can be so much fun!

I absolutely love hiking and wild camping. After visiting the Lake District and travelling around the North Coast 500 I really got into landscape photography. So much so that I decided to dip my toe in the water with family photography. I hated it. But I did realise I enjoy capturing and creating moments that turned into memoires that people loved. That's when I knew that I wanted to dive into weddings. Once I experienced the overwhelmingly positive, romantic, chaotic energy, and unadulterated honesty that only a wedding day can give you I was hooked!
