Bridgwood Wedding Photography

I’m Steve Bridgwood — a Biddulph-based, award-winning wedding photographer who spends my time telling wedding stories in a cinematic, colourful way. Weddings are my sole focus and what I love most: the real laughter, the private glances, the chaotic joy of family, and the electric energy of the dance floor. Over more than a decade and hundreds of weddings I’ve refined a signature look — vibrant colour, bold composition and an eye for the fleeting, authentic moments that make a day unique. Why choose me? Because I treat your wedding as a story to be told, not a checklist. My approach is honest, unobtrusive and playful — I avoid forced poses and let you get on with enjoying your day while I photograph it. I’m obsessed with light and colour, and my love of film and cinema informs the way I frame scenes, shape tones and deliver images that feel timeless yet modern. Recognition from WBWP, Junebug and features in publications like ELLE and Cosmopolitan reflect that commitment to craft, but what really drives me is photographing couples who want images with personality and punch. How I work with couples is simple and tailored. We’ll chat before the wedding so we’re relaxed and aligned with your plans — I like to get to know you, your vibe and the moments you value most. On the day I shoot unobtrusively from preparations through to the party, blending documentary coverage with creative bride & groom portraits when the light is right. I travel across the UK from my base in Biddulph and regularly photograph destination weddings too, bringing the same cinematic approach wherever your day takes place. I also offer couple/engagement shoots as a companion to my wedding coverage — a calm, fun way to get comfortable in front of the camera and create images you’ll love. After the wedding I personally edit and present your images with the signature colour palette I’ve developed so your photos jump off the page and keep those memories alive for years. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who prioritises story, colour and real emotion, I’d love to hear about your plans. Let’s talk and see if my style is the right fit for your wedding day.
