Based in Heswall, I specialise in wedding photography—capturing genuine moments, candid emotions and timeless bridal portraits. Friendly, experienced and available for engagement sessions across Cheshire.
I’m Steph Taylor — the photographer behind StephiLouPhotography, based in Heswall. Weddings are my core focus: I specialise in documenting wedding days with an eye for honest emotion, natural moments and flattering bridal portraits. Having photographed weddings like AJ & Karen’s and Kirsty & Stuart’s, I understand how to balance the day’s formalities with the spontaneous, laugh-out-loud and tearful moments that make each wedding unique. My approach is personal and people-centred. I aim to put you at ease from our first chat through to the final images: conversational, calm and adaptable. Whether you want classic, composed portraits or a more documentary feel that tells the day’s story, I work thoughtfully to create photographs that feel like you. I prioritise atmosphere over artifice — unobtrusive when you’re living the day, engaged when those important moments arise. Accessibility and care are important to me. As a wheelchair user, I’m used to thinking practically about venues, sightlines and mobility so I can capture every essential moment. I’m happy to advise on accessibility considerations and to work with venue teams to ensure a smooth photography experience for everyone involved. Working with me is collaborative: we’ll discuss your plans, must-have shots and the overall tone you want. On the day I aim to be professional but friendly — directing when needed for portraits, and blending into the background for candid reportage. After the wedding I carefully edit your images to bring out the emotion and detail, delivering a gallery of professional wedding photos you’ll be proud to share and display. While weddings are my specialist focus, I also offer engagement and portrait sessions to complement your wedding photography. I cover Heswall and the surrounding Cheshire, including Wirral and parts of Liverpool and Chester, and bring the same care and experience to every booking. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who values authenticity, warmth and accessibility, I’d love to hear about your plans and help capture your story.
