Stewart Barker Photography

We hired Stewart as our photographer for our wedding at Colwick hall in June. From the start he was very informative and friendly and answered the many questions we had! He took the time to work out what we wanted from the day and gave helpful advice and tips.It was lovely to have the pre-wedding photo shoot as we got some lovely photos but also got a chance to new Stewart and it made us feel much more relaxed on the day!On the wedding he was approachable and fun and our photos are absolutely stunning. We really wanted natural, candid photos of people having fun and enjoying themselves and that’s exactly what we got. The gallery to view all the photos is really easy to use as well.Would highly recommend Stewart to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! 10/10!

We could not thank Stewart enough for our amazing wedding photos. He was with us from the very beginning and answered all of our questions. I found it particularly useful that we met up a couple times before the wedding. The engagement shoot was like a practice run for my husband and I as we had no idea what to do in front of the camera. However Stewart made us very comfortable and our photos turned out to be natural. Stewart was both professional and friendly, we truly could not recommend him enough.

After contacting several wedding photographers, we’re delighted that we decided to go with Stewart. From our first contact with him, Stewart was interested, attentive and keen to make sure we got exactly what we wanted from our wedding photographs. Stewart has the perfect balance of being professional whilst being friendly and relaxed and since neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, this really put us at ease on our wedding day. We were also incredibly grateful that Stewart agreed to be one of our witnesses - above and beyond the role of a wedding photographer, but goes to demonstrate how accommodating he is. Having now received our wedding photographs, we couldn’t be happier. Stewart’s done an absolutely sterling job of capturing natural shots of us, without any that are contrived/staged. In short, it was a pleasure to meet Stewart, he made our wedding day even more special and his excellent photography skills mean we would highly recommend him.

Stewart did a fantastic job as photographer for our wedding. When we first contacted Stewart he was really attentive and took a lot of time to understand what kind of photos we wanted and how the day would run etc. The formal elements, e.g. contracting and payments were straightforward and easy. On the day itself, Stewart was great, doing a wonderful job of chatting with both our families, setting up beautiful photos and making us feel at ease. The photos themselves are fantastic and we're really pleased. Would definitely recommend!

From the very beginning Stewart was a joy to work with. Professional, personable and an excellent listener he totally embodied everything we wanted in a photographer. He was so easy to communicate with and made changing our arrangements when we had to postpone so easy. Our photos are beautiful and he has captured so many special moments. We couldn't have hoped for more and would definitely recommend him.

We got married in August 2021. We had an intimate wedding in North Yorkshire. Stewart was amazing, calming, punctual and extremely professional. My husband is uncomfortable having his pictures taken but Stewart made him feel comfortable and took plenty of moment pictures without my husband realizing! Our wedding was challenging to capture as Stewart was not allowed to move in the Registry Office. We only had 3 guests who were broadcasting our wedding live on video conference with our family and friends who could not attend so Stewart had to work around many phones and Ipads. The result is amazing and truly depict our day. We simply love our pictures. Stewart's website is great and very easy to use. I was also able to share it with my family who could not attend and are living overseas so they could view and print them. We would strongly recommend Stewart for your big day. Thank you very much Stewart for being part of our special day and capturing it so beautifully.

Stewart was the photographer for our wedding in July this year and I would not hesitate to recommend him! He is very good at making you feel relaxed, even if you are not used to having your picture taken. Stewart has a very relaxed vibe which is what we wanted, we didn't want to spend hours posing for photos! He is very good at capturing those natural moments and some of my favourite photos from our wedding are the ones where people are talking and laughing. It rained quite a lot on our wedding day but Stewart still managed to get some fantastic photos for us and he even humoured me with a confetti shot in the dark which turned out amazing! Thank you Stewart - Mr and Mrs Grant.

We booked Stewart for our wedding photography after seeing his work on Instagram. Our wedding package included an engagement photoshoot (we upgraded to the deluxe shoot) which we decided to do a year after our engagement. My fiance and I were quite nervous about having photos taken but Stewart helped us to relax and took photos of us just being ourselves which we love (he also kept telling us that we were photogenic which definitely helped our confidence!).Being able to spend the whole day with Stewart and shoot in two locations was great as it enabled us to get to know him better and resulted in us getting more natural photos of us as well as photos in places that mean a lot to us.We are really looking forward to having Stewart at our wedding, not just as a photographer but also a friend - we couldn't recommend him more!

We spoke with Stewart on Zoom after initial email correspondence (Stewart was recommended to us by another photographer), we explained that we wanted a small wedding with just close family. Stewart went through possible options for the day with regards to photography with us. Once we’d booked Stewart, we had regular correspondence with him ensuring he had all the info he needed for the day. On the wedding day, he was absolutely amazing! Very calm and accommodating. He was very much part of our day! And the photos are absolutely wonderful, we are really happy with the service Stewart provided and would highly recommend him.

Stewart photographed our wedding last week. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and we can’t recommend him enough. Stewart met with us a couple of times before hand to discuss everything in detail, and we loved how interested and keen he was when talking about our wedding! Throughout the lead up to the wedding I knew I could message him with any questions or ideas I had, and he was always happy to help. On the day of the wedding, Stewart made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He was brilliant even amongst the chaos of 5 bridesmaids and a stressed out bride on the morning, and did an amazing job at keeping us calm, as well as capturing beautiful photos! (He even got a few of our dog which we are very grateful for!) Throughout the wedding day Stewart was so friendly and kind to everyone, he spent time chatting to our friends and family and everyone commented on how lovely he was and how lucky we were to have him! He also made sure that we got every single group/family/bridal party photo we wanted! Stewart really contributed to how amazing and perfect our wedding day was, he’s a lovely and genuine person and we cannot reccmend him highly enough! Not only did we have our perfect wedding photographer I am proud to say we have also made a friend for life! Thank you Stewart!
