Stephanie Colledge Photography Full Description
I have a relaxed style which combines natural images with a touch of documentary, to really show people and personality. All to fit with you and your day. I work with my other half for most weddings, which means you have two people on your day so more candid images and choices for prep photos for both of you. For smaller wedding days I work alone. I include a complimentary engagement session for my Bridebook bookings, so that we have the chance to get to know each other, and work together before your wedding.

Best photographers
I cannot thank Steph and her husband enough for their service. Right from the first contact, through the engagement photos and then to the wedding day, Steph was very professional, supportive and a good laugh which helped me ease as I don't like my photos taken. She was able to answer all our questions, allow us full control of what photos we wanted and how we wanted them. We had a special split package also which suited us better than paying for a full block of photos that we didn't want. Our photos were natural and in my opinion, perfect and exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend!

The most amazing photos
I found Steph just via a google search and the photos on her website looked lovely and was just the type of thing we wanted. We had an engagement shoot as part of the package and it was a really great way to meet Steph and Ian and helped us to relax whilst we got used to having our photos taken. Steph had a great sense of humour and soon had us in stitches (and even randomly dancing on a pathway in front of bemused golfers) which resulted in some really great photos where we both looked like totally relaxed and happy. On the day of the wedding Steph and Ian spent a lot of time ensuring all the small details of our wedding were photographed as well as capturing loads of natural images of our guests enjoying the day. We unfortunately had a bit of rain on the day but being pro’s they both knew exactly what to do to ensure we have beautiful photos and memories, and when we had five minutes of sun they grabbed us to get some outdoor shots which they knew we had wanted. We went away a few days after our wedding and Steph quickly edited a handful of images so we had something to look at on our holiday. We got the full suite of images just a weeks later and there were so many images to choose from it was hard to pick our favourites! I am so so happy we chose Steph and Ian to capture our special day. They’re both such lovely people it felt like having two more guests who enjoyed the day with us rather than just people we had hired to photograph the day. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer because they’re just brilliant.

Met the brief plus more besides
Steph was very keen to accept our booking and got very creative as a result. Amazing working with her on our secret wedding, even more undeclared engagement photos and then our big evening party where we told everyone! Steph captured all the moments as a perfect record of how it all came to be. Candid shots to show the fun and love shared on the day. A joy to work with!

An amazing day!
From our initial consultation right through to the special day, Steph made us feel completely at ease. Our family and friends all commented on how accommodating and patient both her and Ian were throughout the day. The Wedding Pre shoot was a great chance to get to know each other and for Steph to see how we are together to make sure the photos looked natural - Which was a great idea! We’ve now received the photo’s back, and she’s captured the day perfectly. We would definitely recommend Steph for any photography needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

What is your most memorable wedding?

There have been quite a few, mainly due to those couples being so well matched. Reading your own vows - so heartfelt. Lots have surprises, I've had a secret wedding with an evening announcement to guests at a party! An owl flying the rings down the aisle to the groom.....the guests faces :) I've photographed one wedding where everyone cried, including the registrars! The couple (one a music teacher) arranged a surprise pop up choir of their musical guests...who were positioned in different sections of the seating. The initial soloist being joined every two lines with more voices, a stunning experience. I can still shoot with tears rolling, but seeing the registrars wiping their eyes too was a first for me.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, colourful, emotional, fun.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I am achieving what I set out to do with my photography. That I deliver what I promise.

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

Take 15-20 mins before the wedding breakfast for yourselves - just to be together.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Owl ring bearer - just beautiful. Reading your own vows to each other - amazing to watch, emotional to photograph :))))

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like to phone or meet first to understand what you would like. When I am booked I stay in touch every quarter and I'm happy to take calls, answer questions etc. Around two months before your wedding I arrange your engagement session, photograph the session and let you know when to expect to see the images. As your wedding gets closer I stay in touch, do venue visits (if its not a venue I've photographed at recently) and confirm details with you ahead of your day.

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

I talk to my couples about this - it's different for everyone.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

As I often do engagement shoots, my couples get to know me so I receive some fun requests. One couple wanted a photo of them both asleep in armchairs in front of the big fireplace in their venue..complete with slippers etc..it made a great thank you card to send to their guests.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Enjoy your day, there are plenty of ways to work around wet weather.... and it can make some great images, leave that to me. I've worked with venues who will do whatever they can to help, confetti indoors, clearing spaces I've asked for etc. There are lots of ways to be creative with photos and keep you dry......

Describe how you got into photography.

Really early, my father is a good photographer (he used to photograph weddings) so I was coached. I shot on film for years (still do sometimes) changed to digital and went further into live music and gig photography. Music fans asked me to shoot their weddings - guess what - I found that I love it!
