"Cat Stephens Photography is one of those photographers that really sets the bar for everyone else. She really has the magic touch because she takes such a great mix of those traditional posed couple portraits whilst also capturing more raw and unfiltered moments!

Joyful, Modern Wedding Photography Across the UK
Looking for a wedding photographer who blends creativity, style, and a relaxed approach? I’m Cat Stephens — a UK-based wedding photographer capturing fun, heartfelt moments for couples who want to truly enjoy their day (and still get stunning photos to remember it by).
Whether you're getting married in a countryside barn or a chic city venue, I offer contemporary, documentary-style photography with a personal touch — all with zero travel fees, across most of the UK.
Let’s ditch the awkward posing and focus on real laughs, real love, and real memories.
"We picked Cat as our wedding photographer initially because we loved her moody, atmospheric style - but she was SO much than that!
We loved Cat's fun and friendly personality, she fit in like one of the family straight away. She put us at ease".
Your Love Story, Your Way
I’m here to tell the story of your wedding exactly how it unfolds — full of joy, connection, and everything that makes your day uniquely yours.
From the first hello to the final dance, I’m not about staged moments or stiff poses. I’m all about capturing real laughter, real emotions, and all the beautifully imperfect bits in between. Whether you're climbing a mountain for epic views or sneaking off for a few quiet snaps while your guests hit the dance floor — I'm 100% on board.
There’s no right or wrong way to do your wedding, and I’ll never tell you otherwise. Want to break your portraits into a few quick, fun sessions so you can spend more time partying? Perfect. Want hours of dreamy golden-hour magic in a wild location? Let’s go! This is your story — I’m just here to tell it beautifully.
When I’m not with you during portraits, you’ll find me blending into the background with a long lens, capturing all the big moments (and those blink-and-you-miss-it glances). You will also find me me on the floor chasing the kids around, or chatting to your grandparents to make them laugh — anything for those natural, joy-filled frames that bring your day to life.
More Than Just a Wedding Photographer…
Call me a bonus bridesmaid, flower rescuer, hair tamer, dress fixer, baby whisperer, or honorary family member — I’ve been called them all (and proudly wear each title like a badge of honour).
Truth is? I just bloody love weddings. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure your day runs smoothly, stress-free, and full of joy — all while capturing the moments that matter most.
From Photographer to Friend
One of the best things about this job? I don’t just take photos — I build connections. It’s not unusual for me to start as your wedding photographer and leave as a lifelong friend. That’s why so many of my bookings come from couples and guests I’ve worked with before — it’s a word-of-mouth kind of magic that I’ll never take for granted.
A Bit About Me
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me chasing adventures with my chaotic, wonderful family — whether we’re at a festival, out with the dog, or finding somewhere new to explore.
