Steve Bates Photographer

Steve is an absolutely amazing photographer and just a genuinely lovely person! Steve did both our engagement photoshoot and wedding day, and we are honestly so happy with everything we've received! The quality of his finished images are incredible, and he actually makes the whole process of getting the photos fun, enjoyable and relaxing (coming from 2 people who hate having their photo taken 🤣!!) Since our wedding in March, we have had so many people comment on our beautiful wedding pictures and ask who our photographer was - we are always happy to recommend Steve! I will also say that he has packages to suit every budget, and is very happy to discuss everything with you too! Thanks so much Steve, you have captured the most precious memories we've ever made perfectly, we couldn't have done it without you! Mr & Mrs Weaver - married March 2026

We had Steve as our amazing wedding photographer and the pictures are absolutely incredible ! We couldn’t have asked for any better! He got every shot we wanted and more . Thank you so much Steve

Steve was the total professional from our first meeting to delivering our wedding book. His calm manner and remarkable ability to get to know all the children was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. Would have no hesitation in recommending him for your special day photographs.

Steve did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer, providing a friendly and professional service at all times. His pricing is extremely competitive and in my opinion well worth paying for the extras. We opted for the engagement shoot, wedding shoot and photo booth package for our special day and are blown away by the wonderful photos we have, which we will of course cherish forever. Steve and Gordon fitted seamlessly into our day accommodating all of our needs and really going above and beyond the call of duty. I would not hesitate to recommend him. From the engagement shoot photos, wedding albums and photo booth pictures we have lasting memories and Steve and Gordon really helped it all run so smoothly. Thank you to both of you.

Steve was our wedding photographer he is smart professional and the pictures are amazing he helped us work out the best shots to get and with the engagement shoot for practice our pictures on the day came out perfect. The shots he did of our daughter when she was born were very well done and the editing to remove the spots she had pop out all over her face the day before the shoot was very well done, no trace of spots and you cant tell they have been edited.

From the moment we met Steve and Gordon, we knew they the perfect photographers for us. Their infectious personalities make them so easy to get along with, and they make you feel comfortable from the get go. By the end of the day, they felt like part of the family! They slot effortlessly into any situation, and had us laughing all day. The pictures were better than we ever could have hoped, and the extra special touches just blew us away. Could not recommend them highly enough!! Thank you again for everything! Abbie & Dave Peel, July 8th 2017
