we had the best experience with SP Photography! ❤️ Stephen photographed our wedding in September and we have received... the photos back already, even though they’ve just had a baby!
The photos are everything we could of wished for and more.. Stephen is so talented, got loads of beautiful natural photos too which is incredible. we didn’t even notice he was there most of the time!
i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SP photography in the future, very reasonably priced for high quality work! thank you! ❤️
ps.. physically impossible to choose only 10 photos for this review as there was over 500 and they are all insane 😍read more

Honestly cannot thank SP photography enough! We were recommended here by a friend and what a fantastic recommendation... it was!
The whole experience was lovely from start to finish, it was so personal and tailored to what we wanted after reviewing the portfolio and submitting our initial ideas. The photographer then captured our photos with so much care and attention with patience for our daughter which was so beautiful to see- waiting for the perfect poses/facial expressions as opposed to just shooting away..
Photos were then edited quickly after the shoot and we were kept in communication throughout until the viewing!
The end results were exactly what we wanted and more!
Thank you for capturing these amazing photos again and for anyone looking to make a booking don’t bother looking elsewhere 🥰read more

We had a beautiful experience with our newborn at SP Photography. I was a very anxious first time mum who was nervous... about going out of the house with my baby. When we arrived the studio was all ready, warm, with nappy changing facilities. Stacey was so patient and was very knowledgable and we felt so comfortable with her instantly. Our baby wasn’t the easiest model with a few cries and nappy changes but Stacey was brilliant with him and we have some beautiful photos. Thank you! Xread more

I needed some product photos for my website. Stephen took a product to show me a example of What it should look like. ... I was so impressed i booked straight away.
I actually was embarrassed at the photos i was using (these were done by a diff photographer)
The pure white background, the crisp sharp images , and the reflection of the products was perfect. Was so impressed. Communication was great and work had a super fast turnaround. Got my images so quick, i carnt wait to get them uploaded. Thankyou so much SP Photography 🙂🙂read more

We were married on 29th June 2019 and used SP Photography. From the first point of contact Stacey and Stephen were... informative and made everything easy. The wedding day was amazing, very hot. Stacey not only was our photographer, she helped with many things on the day and her help was very much appreciated. Stephen captured the fun and laughter throughout the day and our photographs are fabulous, memories to treasure forever. Thank you both so much, we would love to do it all again and would not hesitate to choose you both over and over. Lots of love Ray and Natasha Spindloe xxxxxread more

Amazing experience for me, Luke and baby Joey!
Stacey was amazing with Joey and instantly put me at ease! She spent... time to get to know him, and this ensured we got the photos we wanted. Joey took a while to ‘play ball’ being a newborn but she was very patient and caring towards him. She made us feel welcome in her home and was very professional throughout. Thank you for the beautiful memories ☺️!read more

We had the absolutely wonderful Stacey and Steven photograph our wedding reception on 3pth September!! They were so... accommodating in every way possible not just as photographers. Stacey ending up having to get me into my dress and do it up because we had technical issues and the husband had to attend to. They were fabulous with all the children along with mine. Made everyone feel at ease as if the camera wasn't even shooting. Kept in contact after the night and were very efficient with the delivery of proofs. Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Church!! �read more
