About Natural Weddings.com
Steve Cook, ARPS, ABPPA, CrSWPP, LMPA is a qualified Master Photographer with a passion for sports, reportage and location photography. Having always thought that traditional wedding photography was a bit on the boring side, Steve realised that by combining the elements of photography he enjoyed he could provide a relaxed, contemporary wedding service free of clichés. Of course, you probably still want some traditional, or group shots but we will keep these to the minimum - only taking the shots that you requested, allowing you and your guests to continue with the festivities as quickly as possible.
Steve and Dawn's wedding, 2005
Honoured by the Master Photographers Association (MPA) in 2003 with an Award of Excellence, one of only 3 such awards handed out annually for portrait photography, Steve Cook is increasingly being recognised as one of the country's leading photographers.
In September 2002 Steve was awarded the prestigious qualification as a Craftsman with the Guild of Photographers UK, putting him among the top 100 Photographers in the country, and the only one in Dorset. This involved the judging of 7 complete weddings, well over 2500 images, making it the toughest qualification available to wedding photographers.
Also in 2002 Steve was named as the MPA's Licentiate Wedding Photographer of the Year and Fashion Photographer of the Year for the Wessex Region, two leading awards open to professional photographers in the South of England from Reading in Berkshire down to the South Coast. Additionally, Steve won the title of Alternative Wedding Photographer of the Year 2001, as well as picking up numerous national Fujifilm Distinctions.
