Hey, I’m STEVE MULVEY
Steve’s Story
A husband. a father. a climber of mountains. a coffee addict. A Jet setter. A Champagne lover. A thrillseeker… and A PHOTOGRAPHER
Logistics
Based near Cambridge in England, Steve thrives on the excitement of capturing weddings in new locations, whether that’s across London, the South East, or even destination weddings across the globe. With every wedding, his goal is to make it his best work yet, pushing himself and his creativity.
While travel fuels his passion, Steve also holds a special place for local weddings, often with couples who already know his work from other events or celebrations. These familiar connections create a unique dynamic. As Steve puts it: “It feels like family when there’s already a bond. People are relaxed, excited, and ready to enjoy the experience, instead of having that awkward, ‘Who’s this guy with the camera?’ moment.”
Whether it’s a new destination or a familiar venue, Steve brings his signature mix of creativity, approachability, and artistry to every wedding he photographs.
THE STEVE STORY
With over 30 years behind the camera (yes, I started young and was a child prodigy… Maybe not, lol), I’ve been lucky to call a few amazing places home. From France and the USA to Ireland and now back in England, I’ve soaked up diverse cultures and experiences, and while I’m settled near Cambridge now, there’s definitely another adventure waiting… preferably somewhere warm once the kids are older!
I’m all about embracing life’s luxuries, whether it’s a first-class upgrade (when I can swing it), a perfectly mixed gin and tonic, or a glass of champagne that always makes me smile. My work often brings me to some incredible places, and I’ll never stop appreciating how lucky I am to combine what I love with these experiences.
Beyond photography, I’m a bit of a petrolhead. With over 100 cars in my ownership history and countless road trips across Europe (some on motorbikes), cars and travel are a big part of my story. Fair warning: if you’re not into cars, don’t get me started, but good news is since I’ve become a family man, Ive had less cars at home.
I’m also a fan of a good challenge. I may not be built for speed, but I’ve conquered the London Marathon, climbed Kilimanjaro, and trekked to Everest Base Camp. Mountains have a way of putting life into perspective—and making you crave a hot meal after!
Speaking of food, it’s my second love after photography. Travel for me isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about eating my way through them. I believe the best way to embrace a culture is to taste it—spices, textures, and flavours that hit all the senses. And let’s not forget: feed your photographer, and you’ll get even better photos. That’s just science. 😉
WEDDING DAY STEVE
Long before your wedding day, I’ll take the time to get to know you—what matters most, your ideas, and your vibe. Together, we’ll create a photo plan that puts you front and centre.
On the day itself, I hit the ground running. First stop? Meeting your key venue and planning team to make sure everything is on point. Then, my priority is you. Because let’s face it—stressed couples don’t make great photos. I’ll check in, help calm any nerves, and ensure you’re relaxed and ready to soak up the best day of your life.
While we’ll have a plan, I always leave room for spontaneity. The unexpected moments, the laughter, the happy tears, the wild dance moves… these are what make your story unique. My approach is simple: your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot; it’s your celebration. I’m there to capture you living it, not pull you away from it.
Oh, and when I say I’m more than just your photographer, I mean it. Call me your professional bridesmaid (with a beard). I’ve seen it all, and I’ve got your back—whether you’re feeling butterflies, over-the-moon excitement, or a little nervous energy. Whatever the vibe, I’m there to keep things flowing and make sure the next part of your day is unforgettable.
Once the formalities are done and the shoot list is looking good, chances are we are heading to a dancefloor and thats where you’ll find me… I’m dancing with a camera in hand and working my moves to get into great positions to and capture the energy.
And don’t worry—if I ever look panicked, then you have permission to panic. (Spoiler: it’s not going to happen.)
BUT WHAT STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHER ARE YOU?
As a documentary photographer, my goal is simple: to tell your story in the most authentic and beautiful way possible. I blend a storytelling approach with a fashion-conscious, editorial eye, using lighting techniques to bring a sense of sophistication and artistry. Think of it as the perfect mix of candid, real moments and the kind of images you’d expect to see gracing the pages of a high-end magazine.
This multi-disciplinary approach means you get the best of both worlds. The documentary side captures the raw emotions, the laughter, the unexpected moments, even the ones you didn’t even realise were happening. The editorial side ensures these moments are presented in a visually striking way, making you and your day look as incredible as it felt. With me behind the lens, you’re not just hiring a photographer, you’re getting someone with a genuine passion for storytelling and I make sure I have the best seat in the house.
By combining these styles, I’m able to create a gallery of images that doesn’t just show your wedding but makes you feel it all over again.

natural. friendly. Fun.
We met Steve at a friend’s wedding and knew that we needed look no further for our own wedding photography. He has always been well organised, reliable, professional and friendly.
We already have some sneak previews and I love how full of character his work is, it’s so creative and reflects us as a couple beautifully.
