Hi, I’m Steven

Professional photographer and owner of Vellum Studios, a Brisbane based wedding photography studio.

I have had the pleasure of capturing the best day of over 500 couple’s lives over my 15+ years of photographing weddings in my hometown of Brisbane.

I capture weddings using a relaxed and unobtrusive approach. Documenting your wedding in the most authentic, natural and fun way possible.

I love incorporating the natural environment and landscapes to truly give your images a sense of place and perfectly capture the ‘feel’ of your day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. I really hope the imagery within resonates with you.

More about me

As you may see from all of the images we LOVE capturing weddings in a super creative way.

No couple are the same, so why should their wedding photography be? We take the time to get to know each and every one of our couples, to find out everything we can about their unique love story. How they met, what their favourite places are, what are the little things that they adore about each other. This helps us cater the photography to suit their style perfectly.

We love reading the glowing testimonials we receive from our couples. The main theme of which is usually based on how unobtrusive their wedding photographer was in the flow of their wedding day. How we have the natural ability to put people at ease and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera but still manage to capture stunning images of not just them as a couple but their family and friends as well.

What our couples are saying!

“We would like to thank Steve from the bottom of our hearts for all his hard work and support on our wedding day. From dress fluffing, keeping the boys in line, assisting me through sand pits and having patience with all of us. We all as a group had the best time! People are still boasting about how wonderful the wedding day went and how good our photographer was! “

Anita & Rhys

“We are so glad we chose Steve for our big day! When we got our engagement photos back every photo was a winner and we said to each other, “I hope are actual wedding photos are this good.” Just got them back and they are even better. He was a great guy to work with, showed total commitment at one point by wading into water beyond his knees to get “the perfect shot,” showed so much patience and care on the day, and his experience and knowledge of wedding photography really showed! Would highly recommend Steve for anyone in the midst of planning a wedding. “

Kylie & Jarrod

“Steven came highly recommended, and his work speaks for itself. He was so easy to work with, and our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely divine. He managed to get beautiful photos of every person at our wedding, without anybody noticing him there.
He is the best of the best. Nobody else could have captured out day better. “

Beth & Max

“What an absolutely incredible job Steve did! We could not be happier and feel like this was, hands down, the best decision we made for the whole wedding. We are literally blown away by how perfectly Steve has preserved the memories for us and how many stunning photos we now have to treasure forever. “

Frequently Asked Questions

I am best known for my relaxed, unobtrusive coverage with true to life colours in my images that display an airy natural feel. I have a love of the natural landscape and like to incorporate these grand sweeping vistas into the wedding day as well.

I have been in business now shooting weddings for 15+ years! In that time I have photographed over 450 weddings. And each has been unique and amazing and I still love photographing every single one!

I believe my level of experience sets me apart from many less experienced photographers. I have seen it all and know how to handle every situation.

Although I am Brisbane based I love photographing weddings outside of the Brisbane area too. I cover weddings from the Sunshine Coast to Byron Bay free of any travel charges!!

I have experience in photographing weddings in Whitsundays, Hunter Valley, Sydney & Cairns.

I also am available for overseas destination weddings with experience in New Zealand, Hong Kong and Thailand.

After the wedding day I get busy expertly editing your images and preparing your album design. Typically, I have all of your images ready for you in approx 3 weeks. But in the meantime I share sneak peeks on our socials for you to share. I also schedule an album viewing session shortly after to build your amazing wedding album.

I do not put limits on the number of images that I take at a wedding. The number of images delivered does vary due to quite a number of factors such as: length of coverage, number of photographers chosen, number of guests, type of ceremonies etc..
Typically though, for a standard 8 hour wedding you would expect approximately 600 fully edited images.

What do I love about being a Brisbane wedding photographer?

I guess I am pretty lucky to be able to turn one of my creative passions into a full-time photography business. And you don’t photograph weddings for over a decade and a half if you don’t have a love for what weddings represent. They are one of the most enjoyable events in your life. Full of all the people who are dear to you. Watching as you join together with your true love and start the next stage of life. The day will go by in what feels like an instant and when you want to re-live and share how you felt that day, your wedding photography is one of the most important elements. So I always feel honoured to be trusted with capturing all of my couples’ special day.

Please also take the time to read our Brisbane wedding photographer FAQ which should answer some of the most common questions that we are asked.

I also offer engagement photography, newborn photography, family photography and international destination wedding photography. Vellum Studios is available to photograph weddings throughout Australia and the world.
