Stewart is such a professional and fun wedding photographer, who captured our special day so beautifully! He makes you feel so at ease and knows exactly what kinds of locations and photos work for your vibe. And hes been so flexible and supportive through the pandemic. His colleague, Lara, is also amazing and made our follow up event so special. Thank you!!

It was great to have Stewart photograph our wedding in April 2021. On the day he was great at having a mix of more candid and posed shots and was also a good balance of being a 'fly on the wall' when needed. We received the photos within a month of the wedding and were very pleased with them, as well as having both colour and b&w options. Thank you Stewart!

Stewart's work speaks for itself! His images are incredible and we were thrilled with our wedding photos. One of the aspects that drew us to Stewart's work was his use of light and his creative approach. His assistant on the day (Lara) was just amazing and helped so much with the smooth running of our day (we are forever indebted to her for the polaroids!). Stewart and Lara were awesome to have as a part of our special day, and we will forever be grateful - thank you!!! Stewart was also incredibly flexible when we had to postpone our original date due to COVID19.

My husband has a passion for photography so finding the right person to shoot our wedding day was really important to him. We couldnt recommend Stewart highly enough. Not only is he a talented photographer with an incredible attention to detail, but he has an natural creativity which means you dont end up with stuffy and boring wedding photos. It is important to surround yourself with people who have good energy on your wedding day and Stewart definitely fitted this brief. He also was so accomodating throughout the pandemic when it came to our constantly evolving wedding! Our guests commented

I highly recommend Stewart to be your wedding photographer! He was kind, down to earth and very helpful in giving us his professional advice for our micro/covid wedding! He was super responsive from the very beginning and has made the whole photography process easy for us. The photos turned out beautiful, candid and really captured the beauty and warmth on our special day. Thank you Stewart!!
