Specialist Lincoln wedding photographer capturing candid, documentary-style wedding photos that tell your story. Warm, unobtrusive approach to ensure natural, emotional images.
I’m Steven Haddock, a Lincoln-based wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the real story of your wedding day. My work is rooted in a documentary approach — I look for the honest, unscripted moments that reveal how you and your guests truly feel. Whether you’re planning a relaxed countryside celebration in Lincolnshire, a boho-inspired woodland ceremony, or a more modern city wedding, my aim is the same: to deliver natural, emotive images that stand the test of time. What sets my photography apart is a quiet, observant style combined with an eye for composition and light. I favour unobtrusive presence over staged direction, so couples can relax and be themselves. That doesn’t mean I don’t guide — I’ll step in with gentle direction when needed to create beautiful portraits or to make sure key family shots run smoothly — but my priority is preserving atmosphere and emotion rather than interrupting it. Working with me is straightforward and personal. I start by listening: we talk about the day you’re planning, the moments you’re most excited about, and the style of images you love. On the wedding day I blend into the event, capturing candid interactions, laughter, tears and small details that together tell your story. After the wedding I carefully edit each image, presenting a cohesive gallery that reflects the mood and narrative of your day. I also photograph engagement and pre-wedding shoots, which are a relaxed way to get used to being photographed together and to build the rapport that helps you feel calm in front of the camera on the big day. While weddings remain my primary focus, I offer portrait sessions as a secondary service for couples and families who want timeless, natural images beyond the ceremony. Photography is the way I make sense of people and places — I love the challenge of capturing fleeting, meaningful moments and turning them into lasting memories. If you’re looking for a Lincoln wedding photographer who values authenticity, calm presence, and strong storytelling through imagery, I’d love to hear about your plans and discuss how we can document your day.
