SJC photography

SJC Photography is Steve Chatterton’s wedding-focused practice based in Basingstoke, Hampshire. As a dedicated wedding specialist, Steve’s aim is simple: to capture the natural moments and real emotions that make your wedding uniquely yours. His approach blends a relaxed, friendly presence with documentary-led attention to detail — unobtrusive photography that lets the day unfold while ensuring every important moment is recorded as a timeless image. Why choose SJC Photography for your wedding? Steve works with couples to create a calm atmosphere from the very first meeting through to the last dance. He loves to see the day through the bride’s perspective, scouting venues for the best light and capturing bridal preparations, private moments, family interactions and the joyful chaos of the celebration. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that feel authentic — images you can return to and instantly remember how you felt on the day. Steve’s working style is warm, friendly and calm. He guides couples gently (and with a few simple directions when needed) to find flattering light and natural poses, but he favours candid, storytelling photography over staged formality. Preparation matters: Steve shares practical tips and a camera‑ready checklist to help you relax and enjoy the day, and he can visit venues in advance to plan where to capture the best moments. For couples who want more than ceremony coverage, SJC Photography also offers engagement portraits to document your story before the wedding. While weddings are the core expertise, SJC Photography also provides professional headshot and business branding sessions for clients who need strong, confident images for work. Family lifestyle shoots are available as an occasional secondary offering — ideal for couples who want cohesive images of their loved ones alongside their wedding memories. Based in Basingstoke and working across Hampshire and beyond, Steve values honest communication, careful planning and a joyful approach to capturing your wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who focuses on natural, timeless storytelling and professional wedding photos you’ll cherish, SJC Photography is ready to tell your story with care and creativity.
