Steven Bradshaw | Wedding Photographer Full Description
Photography is my passion and my sole vocation since leaving school. I have spent the last 18 years as a Professional Photographer, with a background in Photojournalism, I consider myself well versed in the skills required to capture those perfect moments, resulting in natural 'real' images. I am an NCTJ trained photographer, have a Level 4 NVQ in Press Photography & Newspaper Journalism and a qualified and affiliated LBIPP photographer. I am also fully qualified with the Guild of Photographers. I have shot over 500 weddings in the last 16 years, yes that's averaging around 40 a year! Being a great wedding photographer requires not only experience, flair and talent, but a love for the job, good anticipation, not to mention excellent social & crowd management skills. Above all, empathy with the subject and a feel for the moment, is what really helps to capture the passion and ambience of the day. This is what I strive to maintain with every wedding I photograph. I feel it's very important to develop a good relationship before the big day, so it is ideal to meet for a chat before making a booking to discuss your requirements.

Steven made us feel very relaxed and the photos we have seen so far are so natural and no way over the top posey which is perfect for me and my husband. He fitted in very well with the wedding moving around and in between people without any disruption to conversations etc

We were so impressed by Steven throughout the entire process, from booking, all the way through to the amazing day and now post production! He has been able to reassure me (as a slightly over bearing bridezilla at times) and work with us to work out exactly what sort of look we wanted for our day and the photos. On the day, Steven brought an element of calm with him. He was able to organise everything and worked seamlessly with our other suppliers. Booking Steven was the best investment.

Steven was recommended by a colleague, when We saw his photos of that wedding we knew immediately he was the photographer we wanted. He is an artist with a camera, what he can do with light and how he uses the surroundings to frame a shot is truly brilliant. My wedding day was a special day, I have looked through all the photos Steve took for the first time tonight and it bought the day back to life for me; I can't ask for more than that.

Steven is exceptionally talented. His style of photography is second to none. When I first saw Steven's work I wasn't even engaged never mind planning a wedding but I ensured i would know where to find him when the time came. Steven was great on the lead up to the wedding and on the day, was organised, effective but not intrusive. The results he produced for us were superb. He captures emotion and mood perfectly and has a fantastic eye for the perfect frame or backdrop! Put simply; he is amazing

Steven previously worked at close family and friends weddings and came highly recommended. He certainly did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations with his creativity, professionalism and attention to detail in capturing some truly beautiful pictures. The coverage was fantastic and he excelled in capturing the feel and magic of the day. The quality of his expertise should not be underestimated; he knows his stuff and we could not be happier we chose Steven to capture the moments perfectly

The service Steven provided was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure his photography was in-keeping with our vision and cleverly captured the spirit of our day. Steve was extremely professional and had a brilliant humour which made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. His stunning photographs really sum up the day and we are so grateful for all of the wonderful memories he has captured. He is fairly priced for the quality of work as are the albums he has on offer.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Well that would have to be my own of course!!! I love every wedding i shoot, each is uniquely wonderful & special in it's own way. One of my most memorable Weddings was at The Mythe Barn in Atherstone, such a stunning venue, a beautiful young couple, we had fantastic weather, the couple had amazing family and friends. It was one of those weddings where everything just came together and we achieved so many stunning images. I have since photographed the weddings of four other couples who attended that same wedding!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Classic, Documentary, Fun, Creative, Professional.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Simply the fact i earn my living taking pictures and being part of so many special occasions. I love my job immensely.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Always employ a Professional, Experienced, Creative Photographer.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

In a nutshell my approach is to make the process as relaxe, simple and enjoyable for the couple as possible. The initial consultation (chat over coffee) at the studio allows couples to see where i work, may sample albums and to get to know each other is of great importance. I would then hold a final details meeting or pre wedding portrait shoot nearer the big day to go over timings and logistics for the day. The after wedding service equally as important and i have some great workflows inplace to ensure wedding album selections, design and turnaround of all package particulars are fulfilled in a timely and professional manner.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I always try at every wedding to capture something creative, intimate and special, later on in the wedding day, i love to shoot in low light, i use many different lighting devices and techniques to produce some unique and breathtaking imagery of each couple. A real feature image they'd be proud to frame and display.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

One of my best wedding images was taken on a day on which it rainy torrentially all day. I recommend we go with it, get outside with brollies and wellies and get creative!

Describe how you got into photography.

My first interest in Photography came at the age of 8, when i made a pinhole camera in Science Class at School, since then I've been hooked! I've since gained GCSE & A Level, NCTJ Level 4 in Press Photography, LBIPP, LGOF Qualified Accreditations, BTEC NAT DIP in Media Studies and almost 20 years experience taking pictures! I've worked as a freelance in London, for various picture agencies, I was staff photographer for the largest regional Newspaper in the UK, The Yorkshire Evening Press for 6 Years before starting my own business shooting Weddings in 2003.
