Steven Hawker Photography

Hi, I’m Steve Hawker — a specialist wedding photographer based in Gelligaer, serving South Wales and the West of England. Weddings are my core focus: I love being part of a couple’s day from quiet, intimate moments to full-on celebrations. My aim is simple — to record the real emotions, the laughter and the spontaneous details that make your day uniquely yours, producing professional wedding photos you’ll treasure for a lifetime. My approach is relaxed, friendly and documentary-led. I blend unobtrusive storytelling with a creative eye for composition and light so I can capture authentic moments without interrupting the flow of your day. Couples tell me they appreciate how I put guests at ease and how I find those small, candid scenes that often become their favourite images. I work with a combination of natural, posed and reportage-style photography to ensure you get a varied, heartfelt collection of images that reflect the atmosphere and personality of your wedding. Choosing me means choosing experience and reliability. I’m proud of the five-star feedback from many couples and of delivering consistently careful, edited images that are ready to share and print. Before the wedding I offer a free consultation so we can discuss your priorities, the look you want and any locations that matter to you. On the day I focus on making people feel comfortable, keeping timings practical and capturing the moments you’ll want to look back on. While weddings are my speciality, I also photograph engagement sessions and offer complementary services such as portraits, corporate and event coverage, product shoots and photo restoration/editing. These are additional services I provide to support couples and local businesses, but my primary expertise remains wedding and bridal photography. If you’re planning a wedding in Gelligaer or anywhere across South Wales, I’d love to hear about your plans and help you capture your day honestly and beautifully. My style is friendly, professional and centered on preserving the real story of your celebration — the smiles, the tears and everything in between.
