The magazine ‘Getting Married in Northern Ireland’ ran the competition which lets local brides, grooms and their families vote for their favourite photographer.

At a gala award ceremony on Saturday night, the Ballymena man was awarded with second place in Wedding Photographer of the year in the magazine’s Reader Awards.

Steven, who has been taking pictures of loved up couples for six years told the Times that he was really pleased with the award.

“I am really chuffed, it was a nice surprise. It is the people involved in the weddings themselves and people who were at their wedding them having their say,” he said.

“They weren’t judged on any particular image and makes you aware that you are doing something right and they are happy with you.”
