About your candid wedding photographer

Hi There! My name’s Robin

Robin Steward is a candid, documentary style wedding photographer based in Wellington, Somerset.

I’m a husband to Katherine and a father to two energetic cool dudes Rowan and Ned.

I look miserable in this picture, but I do occasionally smile - honest!

I was born a long, long, loonnng time ago in Kidderminster; raised on the Isle of Wight and, via a meandering route, I find myself in deepest West Somerset and quite enjoying the quiet life.

My passion is cycling and then scoffing cake straight after. I love walks with my family and jaunts in our Camper.

Yep, when all's said and done, I'm a lucky old bean!

Me?! Photograph you wedding!

So, you're probably thinking ‘why am I reading this tosh?!’

Well, I'm kinda hoping you might be interested in me photographing your wedding...? Who wouldn’t want pictures like this, right?!

And on that subject I'll spare you a load of marketing flannel about why I'm amazing and all that and cut to the chase!

Flippin’ Good Time!

Shooting a wedding is simple: I turn up and I photograph you and your guests having a flipping good time.

In my view, this is where truly natural, ‘as-it-happened’ pictures come from and will be a true reflection of your wedding day.

I’m sort of not a wedding photographer

What I try to do at weddings is not think like a wedding photographer but remain free of what can sometimes be a restrictive role. I prefer to think more along the lines of photographing as if I am a guest; doing this gets me ‘inside’ the wedding rather than simply being a busy vendor plying his/her trade.

Clients trust me

So I don’t work to detailed shot lists, clients trust me to do what I do; they also like to be surprised by the delivered pictures. Yes, I still take many of those classic wedding moments - it’s a wedding after all! - but I like to be observant and photograph what’s going on rather than what I think a wedding looks like. All this ensures your wedding pictures are unique and meaningful both now and long into the future.

If all this sounds total-amaze-balls then all you have to do is drop me a line and we'll have a chat. There's no hard sell from me - I can't stand that stuff.

WELL DONE YOU FOR MAKING THIS FAR! Speak soon!

“Robin took photos for our daughter’s naming ceremony and 1st Birthday party, and he couldn’t have fitted in better amongst the guests. He was helpful and patient… and most of all his photos are fantastic. They’re individual works of art.” - Jennifer
