HEY, I’M SANDRA

Hey, I'm Sandra, a luxury wedding photographer based in Cheshire
Wedding Photographer based in Cheshire
Wedding Photographer based in Cheshire

An emotive, luxury and timeless Cheshire wedding photographer who loves to create art that shows real emotion and tells the story of your day. From getting ready until dancing the night away, I will capture your day as it naturally unfolds.

As an editorial wedding photographer, I don't dictate or direct (too much) but instead observe to discreetly cover events as they happen. I am a firm believer in some alone time for the newlyweds where I can take those print and hang on the wall worthy photos. My goal as a wedding photographer is to focusing on capturing your story while making sure that your day reflects the authenticity of you as a couple. I am fully there for you.

I am a wife and mummy of three who I live with in the heart of Cheshire, but I do cover weddings all over the UK and abroad. If you made it here, I would love to hear more about your story and what brought you here. Please get in touch via the contact form, and let's create some magic.

Testimonials.

  • Claire & James

    "Sandra photographed our wedding in September last year and from start to finish was 5 star.

    We'd seen her photos online beforehand but knew from the first meeting in a local pub that she'd be the one to capture our day. Not only were her pictures from the day amazing she was more than happy to help out with little things along the way.

    Sandra didn't just capture our day, she was a part of it.Would highly recommend her to anyone getting married."

  • Hannah & Jack

    "We used Sandra for our special day back in March of this year, and chose to go with her having seen her previous work.

    My wife and I were so impressed with the photographs we received, capturing all angles and moments of our special day, listening to our requests of natural pictures and lighting.

    I could not recommend her enough to anyone. A brilliant photographer and a lovely person."

  • Artheka & Red

    "An absolute artist! I was so particular about the style of photography I wanted and was over the moon when I found Vandersteen Photography. Sandra was incredible right from the start, so friendly and professional and really easy to work with.

    We decided to do an engagement shoot with her before the wedding to get to know her and to learn how to pose for professional photographs. It was quite intimidating at first but we'd highly recommend doing it as it meant we felt so much more comfortable with what we were doing on the wedding day.

    The photo galleries for both our engagement shoot and wedding are absolutely stunning. She brought our vision to life and captured the day in the most beautiful way. I've had so many people tell me how beautiful her work is and how incredible she was on the day.

    She interacted with people in the nicest way and felt a part of the wedding whilst simultaneously blending in to the furniture to capture those wonderful candid moments. I am so grateful to have Vandersteen Photography and I would 100% recommend Sandra to anyone!!!

  • Lynsey & Rob

    "Sandra, what can I say… we didn’t want a forceful photographer at our wedding, which is why we were more than made up when you were so relaxed and so natural… you listened to what we asked for and pulled some amazing photography out of the bag to match!

    So many of our guests commented on how amazing, lovely and sweet you are.

    Our photographs are like something straight from a bridal magazine. You captured our love and our happiness, and I can’t thank you enough for doing that.

    You are worth your weight in gold and I will highly recommend you to everyone.

    Thanks again."

FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS

  • My style as an editorial and documentary wedding photographer revolves around storytelling and authenticity. I focus on capturing genuine moments that evoke emotion and invite viewers to engage with the narrative.

    In editorial photography, I create images that complement written content, using a mix of candid shots and carefully composed scenes that reveal the essence of the subject. In documentary work, I immerse myself in environments, prioritizing natural light and real settings to illustrate the richness of human experiences.

    Ultimately, my aim is to document life in a way that is both visually compelling and meaningful, celebrating the stories and emotions that connect us all. Each photograph serves as a window into a unique narrative waiting to be shared.

  • I am based in Congleton, Cheshire however I cover weddings all over the UK and I will travel for love. I do charge travel costs when further than two hours from Congleton. Please get in touch for more information.

  • Yes! I am insured for both public liability and professional indemnity. If you or your venue require specific details or proof of this, please don’t hesitate to ask as I will be more than happy to provide.

  • I know when I got married I was desperate to see the photos and so I send a sneak peek within 48 hours and you will receive your full gallery after 6-12 weeks. I always aim to get them to you as soon as possible. You will get the photos in an online gallery with unlimited downloads that can also be shared with friends and family.

  • Adding a second photographer to your wedding photography package can be a great idea, especially if your wedding is large or if you have multiple events happening at the same time. A second photographer can help capture all the important moments that might be missed by a single photographer. Additionally, a second photographer can provide different perspectives and angles which can make your photos more interesting and varied. However, adding a second photographer will increase the cost of your photography package, so it's important to weigh the benefits against the cost and determine if it's right for you. Ultimately, the decision to add a second photographer to your package should be based on your needs and preferences as well as your budget.

  • I recommend that you start by identifying the important moments of your wedding day that you would like to have captured. This can include getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, the reception, and any special events that you have planned.

    It's important to keep in mind that every wedding is unique, and the amount of coverage you need will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
