ABOUT
US - Well, here goes, we’re a couple, Steve Peach & Jo Cunningham and we live in Bristol in the UK. We love the South-West but we happily travel all over for our work including destination weddings.
a combination of fine art and documentary photography.
Steve has a background in press and editorial photography and Jo has a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art Photography. We both pull our strengths from these backgrounds creating a combination of fine art and documentary photography.
We love travelling, the highlight of which so far being a five month circumnavigation of California and Mexico in a camper van. We also have friends and family in both the U.S. and Australia and we’ll very happily jump on a plane to photograph destination weddings in both of these countries as well as others if it means we get to see loved ones at the same time.
OUR WORK - We have a lot of influences, especially cinematography, fine art, documentary and pop culture. We’re constantly looking around for inspiration and striving to improve our skills and style. We love trying out new ideas and always try to be original although that can sometimes be difficult in our image saturated and quickly referenced world.
Are we alternative photographers? We’re certainly not traditional photographers. We love making fun, creative, stylish and artistic photographs without referring to traditional wedding photography, if this is alternative then yes we are but the bottom line is that we just believe in great photography, whatever that may encompass.
telling the story with stylish and creative images.
We love photographing off beat and stylish weddings or weddings where couples want to express their own personalities through their day. Our work is at its best when our clients’ personalities and tastes mesh with ours and our style of photography is understood. We’ll be spending all day with you and providing you with images that are a document of a wonderful major life event. It’s important that we all get on so that we can make some beautiful photographs together.

What are our rates? Our 2014 prices start at £1400. We encourage you to contact us with details so that we can provide a bespoke quote and a brochure with more information.
Do we travel & work internationally? Yes yes and yes again, we love to travel! We're based in Bristol in the UK and we cover the whole of the UK and further afield. Please contact us for more details about destination wedding photography and a bespoke quote.
Do you charge extra for travel and accomodation? Yes we do, if your wedding is a bit of a drive away we may need a hotel for the night before and the night of the wedding. We can be on our feet for upto 12 hours and a long drive at the start and end of the day isn't preferable. Get in touch for a bespoke quote including travel and accomodation.

Who owns the photos? We own the copyright on the photographs but you receive a licence to print and share your images.
How do we supply images? You'll receive fully processed high resolution JPGs and smaller web ready versions, all on a USB stick. We do not release Raw files.
Do we do vintage wedding photography? This is a bit of a misnomer as vintage wedding photography doesn't really exist. We certainly don't walk around with old fashioned plate cameras. If your wedding has a vintage twist then the photographs we take will certainly have a vintage theme to them. We use a selection of professional film emulation filters to replicate both old and new film.
Do we offer hourly rates for coverage? No, whether your wedding is a half day or a full day our package price stays the same.
How long will you be with us for? We don't have a set start and finish time, a usual day for us is about 10-12 hours.
How many images will we receive? Absolutely loads, we can edit in anywhere between 300-600 great photographs from your day.
When will we receive our photographs? We can be very busy between March and November sometimes photographing 2-3 weddings a week. We aim to have your finished package to you 3 months from the date of your wedding. We have a quicker turn around during the quieter winter months.
How do we book you for our wedding? You can contact us through our contact page or email us directly. We ask for a 25% booking fee to secure your date for you and the rest of the fee is due one month before your wedding.
Do you offer engagement shoots? Not at the moment but it's something that we'll consider. To be honest we find the term a little bit cheesy and they can be a bit fake and forced if you're not in your natural habitat. If however you want to be photographed together doing something that you love whether it be hiking in the mountains, sailing your boat or hanging out on your allotment or in the woods we'd definitely be interested. Get in touch and have a chat with us about what you have in mind.
Do you have a photobooth? Yes we do! We'll send you information on this when we send our brochure to you.
What equipment do you use? We use professional Canon camera bodies, high end Canon flash units and Canon L series lenses, the best they make.
Are we insured? Yes we are fully insured
