Welcome to the blog of Steve Gerrard.
I'm a photographer who shoots weddings, portraits, bands & other random stuff, most of which gets featured right here on the blog.
Feel free to scroll through the pages, lurk in the shadows or leave a comment to make me feel popular :)
Hopefully you'll find some stuff you like the look of. If you do, please add the blog to your RSS.

Deirdre & Mark get married at the end of this month in the beautiful surroundings of Broadway in The Cotswolds. After a church wedding they’ll move on to Dormy House Hotel and party the night away with a little help from our own Fun Booth 
We shot their engagement session just around the corner from our studio, ending up in the new Zellig building at The Custard Factory.
Rosella & Trevor get married this Saturday in London and I have a feeling it’s going to be a very stylish wedding.
They booked us earlier this year and, after shooting their engagement session, I’m excited about seeing them and their guests for the main event. Let’s hope this weird weather we’re having plays nice cos we’re hoping to shoot all around Millennium Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral on Saturday afternoon!
For their engagement session Ros & Trev opted to escape the city for Cowley Manor in the Cotswolds – a stunning venue that we visited last summer for Victoria & James’ wedding. The weather was glorious on the day and we made the most of the sunshine and the beautiful grounds and ended up with one of my favourite collections of images of the year
Wedding photos here soon…
Photographing a photographer’s wedding inevitably means a little added pressure!
When Dave asked me to shoot his & Liz’s wedding last year I was honoured and knew I wanted to bring my A game when it came round to the main event. But then, I want to shoot every wedding like it’s the most important wedding I’ve ever shot.
Liz & Dave’s wedding was hot! Like hottest day of the year hot! I changed my shirt before we arrived at the reception venue. It was hot!
It wasn’t quite as hot as the reception venue became just 2 weeks later though…. 2 weeks later the reception venue burned to the ground! Such a shame as it’s a great venue. I’m just glad it happened after, and not before, Liz & Dave’s wedding.
Liz & Dave are stars! They are so good together, you just can’t imagine them being with anybody else than each other.
This is what happened on their wedding day….
On the day I was lucky enough to have “awesomegasmatron” photographer Chris Barber along as 2nd shooter. Here’s one he took of me doing my thing…
Big congrats to Liz & Dave and thanks to them both for having us be a part of such a great wedding. Thanks also to Chris Barber for tagging along on the day and helping out so much.
The beauty of being a wedding photographer in Birmingham is that we don’t have to look far for those gritty urban backdrops that a lot of our clients love, especially for their engagement session.
Our studio is based at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, just outside the city centre, and we can just head out in any direction and stumble upon all the stuff I love – colours, textures, lines, angles, natural frames and character.
Emily & Steve get married next week at Moxhull Hall and opted for the urban shoot for their engagement shoot. We explored the backstreets of Digbeth as the light was fading. I’m sure they won’t mind me saying that they’re not super-comfortable having their photo taken, but that’s a good reason why we do the engagement shoot. Hopefully, they’ll love their photos and realise that making photos isn’t anything to stress about and can actually be fun, but ultimately I hope clients will trust me to make the best possible photos on their wedding day. Come next Thursday, I’ll be ready to rock it
Here are a few of my faves from the e-shoot…
