Stephanie Atkins Photography

Stephanie Atkins is an Eastleigh-based wedding photographer who specialises in relaxed, unobtrusive storytelling. With a warm, down-to-earth approach she aims to be more than just a photographer on the day—think of her as a calm, practical friend who quietly ensures the photographs you’ll treasure fall into place. Why choose Stephanie? Her style is natural and human; she looks for the small, telling moments that pass unnoticed—the look across a room, the squeeze of a hand, the laugh that makes everyone grin. She’s known for putting people at ease, quickly building rapport with brides, grooms and guests so personalities shine through. Stephanie’s background working with diverse families gives her an especially empathetic, inclusive manner, and she takes pride in making weddings accessible and comfortable for everyone she works with. How she works: preparation and communication matter. Stephanie starts by getting to know you—your priorities, timeline and the moments you most want captured. On the day she blends into the flow, offering practical help where needed (she often jokes she’s a "professional bridesmaid" with a camera) while staying alert for the candid storytelling images that make an album sing. Her approach balances gentle direction for group and couple portraits with plenty of unobtrusive candid coverage: emotional ceremony shots, joyful confetti moments, relaxed reception candids and lively dance-floor photography. The experience is friendly, calm and full of attention to detail. Stephanie values open, regular communication in the lead-up to your wedding and will work with you to create a comfortable plan that suits your timings and venue. She loves confetti photos, sunset portraits and capturing the small, everyday gestures that become family heirlooms. Based in Eastleigh and serving Hampshire and surrounding counties, Stephanie brings professionalism, humour and heart to every wedding she photographs.
