We know that we have one of the best jobs in the world
We get to fulfil our creativity whilst simultaneously being enriched, witnessing unique moments of human connection. A small window into family dynamics and stories – it really is such a priviledge. Something for which we are truly thankful, being trusted as professional story tellers.
Often, we are humbled in receiving authentic endorsements from the amazing people we work with. When we here that we exceeded all expectations, thats music to our ears. What more could we want?
Maybe our next will be from you?
“We chose STS knowing they had experience in the different ceremonies and nuances of an Indian Wedding.
Once we spoke to Linus on the phone we knew they were the right people for our wedding! Calm, and clear about their style and that was exactly what we wanted!
Their documentary style photography really captures how your wedding looked and felt. We could not have been happier with the photos they took of our wedding!”
Sam & Anuja
“Linus was the perfect combination of being a highly capable and creative photographer who was personable and easy going.
We had such a lot of fun going looking through the images he shared and digesting all the details – and still have no idea how he managed to be in so many places at once, all without us noticing him much at all.
We won’t hesitate to recommend STS and his work to anyone, for any event. Thank you so much Linus for being so brilliant and capturing such happy memories so beautifully for us. We’ll treasure these pics for the rest of our lives.”
Ed & Rosie
“STS style is so natural and candid that these pictures won’t date or age – no uncomfortable posing and no unnatural filters. They’re just timeless and all of our guests have been blown away by them – many being bought to tears by them.
Looking through the full set we got to see so much of the day that both of us had missed, it’s like they were everywhere at all times and yet they were never intrusive. Somehow they didn’t miss a thing!
100% track record of 5 star reviews for STS is no surprise and absolutely well deserved!”
Mel & Chad
“We feel so lucky to have had STS as our wedding photographer. They captured the subtle, personal moments that made the day so special – all while being seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once.
We had many friends and family members comment to us about how wonderful they were on the day. We even had vendors tell us STS work is the best they’ve seen. We couldn’t recommend him enough..”
Allison & Adam
“…most of the time, we didn’t realise he was even taking our photograph at all, which is exactly what we had hoped for!
STS quite clearly is very passionate about their work and that is something you cannot buy.
They will go above and beyond to capture your day in a truly beautiful and perfect way. We will always recommend them to anyone that asks..”
im & Graham
“Linus is an incredible photographer.
From day one of planning our Wedding he was engaged with our plans and we had a great meeting telling him all of our ideas right at the very beginning.
Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and we could not ask for them to be anymore perfect………. he really captured the natural emotion of the day.
Just like it says ‘Subtle, Emotive and Raw’. We can’t thank you enough Linus”
Grace & Jacob
“Absolutely blown away by the amazing images captured by STS.
We literally can not stop looking at them! The most amazing days of our lives have been recorded in a way that we feel truly captures the spirit of the occasions, most incredible of all we didn’t have to strike a single awkward pose, the events just flowed as they should while we all had an incredible time Linus just did his thing, and WOW didn’t he do it well. ”

Ready to say “I do”?
I’d love to hear about your wedding plans and how I can help capture your special day.
Get in touch with me today to check availability or discuss your vision and let’s create something unforgettable together.
From the States to Stourhead, with a little Pride & Prejudice pilgrimage along the way...
Summer & Jaraad were honeymooning in the UK and squeezing in a few locations made famous by their favourite period dramas. Well... I suspect Summer may have been driving that particular itinerary slightly more than Jaraad. 😄
A very last-minute message landed in my inbox asking if I could meet them at Stourhead on Wednesday and capture part of the trip.
Thankfully, I could.
And there was really only one place they wanted to be photographed - the Temple of Apollo. The very spot made famous by that rather spectacular proposal refusal in Pride & Prejudice.
We had about an hour before they needed to head off to their next stop - Highclere Castle - but honestly, an hour was plenty.
These two were effortless together.
Summer arrived armed with a few inspiration shots she’d saved, which we absolutely nailed, but once we’d got those in the bag we simply played. Walked, talked, laughed and let the place and their connection do the rest.
Soft light, no brutal midday sunshine, one ridiculously beautiful setting and two people who made photographing them an absolute cinch.
And it got me thinking...
I want to photograph more honeymoons.
Engagement shoots have anticipation. Weddings have adrenaline, nerves and a hundred moving parts.
But honeymoons?
They’re different.
The pressure is off. You’re married. The big public declaration has been made. Nobody is waiting for a speech, a first dance or wondering where they’re supposed to be next.
Now you get to breathe.
To wander somewhere beautiful together, soak it all in and celebrate the simple fact that you actually did it.
And perhaps that’s what I love most about these photographs.
They’re not about the wedding.
They’re simply about Summer & Jaraad.
If you’re honeymooning in Dorset, Somerset or Wiltshire - or building a slightly obsessive British period-drama pilgrimage into your trip - give me a ring or drop me a line.
I’d genuinely love to photograph more of this.

Who knew tequila could be responsible for a wedding like this?
When I first arrived to see the colourful Mexican-inspired styling, I have to admit I was intrigued. Then, during the speeches, everything clicked into place. Catherine and Jonjo’s love story began over a shared appreciation of tequila, so what better way to celebrate the journey that brought them here?
It wasn’t just a wedding theme. It was their story.
With the summer sun shining over CIM Business Centre in Cookham, the day unfolded exactly as the best weddings do - full of laughter, hugs, good food, plenty of colour, and a dance floor that didn’t need much encouragement.
The moments that stay with me aren’t always the grand ones. They’re the quiet, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them memories. Like their young son, taking his role as ring bearer incredibly seriously, carefully passing Jonjo’s ring to his mum. Such a simple little exchange, but one that says everything about what this day was really about - family.
Then came the confetti…
I’ve photographed a lot of confetti throws over the years, but this one was something else. A riot of colour filling the air, just enough of a gap to catch Catherine and Jonjo laughing as they made their way through it. Pure chaos. Pure joy. Exactly how confetti should be.
Weddings don’t need to follow traditions to be unforgettable. They just need to reflect the people at the heart of them.
Congratulations, Catherine & Jonjo. May there always be sunshine, laughter… and perhaps the occasional tequila. 🌵🥃❤️

Some weddings are remembered for the sunshine.
Others are remembered for the people.
Anna & Steve’s wedding at Highcliffe Castle was definitely the latter.
With British and Austrian families coming together on the Dorset coast, there was a warmth to this day that no amount of rain could dampen. In fact, the weather almost became part of the story. Umbrellas appeared, guests huddled together, laughter echoed through the castle, and every break in the clouds felt like a little gift.
We made the most of those moments. A fleeting walk through the grounds. Reflections caught in a car mirror. Anna arriving on the castle steps beneath an umbrella, looking every bit as elegant as the setting itself.
But what I’ll remember most wasn’t the weather or even the photographs.
It was the people.
The hugs. The smiles. The genuine affection everyone seemed to have for one another. At one point I joked to Anna and Steve that it felt a bit like an American hug therapy session. Not that I’ve ever attended one, but if they exist, I imagine this was pretty close!
There was simply so much warmth, kindness and connection throughout the day.
And that’s the thing about weddings. Long after the flowers have faded and the cake has been eaten, it’s those moments of human connection that remain.
Congratulations Anna & Steve. Thank you for trusting me completely and allowing me to document your day exactly as it unfolded.
Subtle. Emotive. Raw.

Looking forward to sharing Tara & Jamie’s full wedding gallery shortly. These two were a laugh a minute, throughout the church ceremony, all the way into the evening!

Edward & Jilla’s St Audries wedding - midweek, intimate, and full of heart.
A friend-led ceremony in the Orangery (the light in there is unreal), confetti and sunshine outside, their little one soaking up all the grandparent attention, then Iranian details and heirlooms before everyone went in for food. Finished with a drone flight because the weather was too perfect to ignore.

Brock & Sophie at The Tudor Barn, Burnham - midweek, smaller guest list, and the whole day flowing beautifully.
The standout? Sophie’s dad arriving in a pillar-box red classic American convertible and delivering her in absolute style. They’d already done the legal bit earlier, so a friend-led ceremony made everything feel personal, warm and completely them.
A proper celebration, done with calm confidence.
