Incredible! My husband and I hired Katherine as our photographer for our wedding day. She blended seamlessly into the background and captured the day perfectly. She had never photographed at our venue so visited before hand with us to scope out the best photo locations. As it turned out it poured with rain on our wedding day so didn't use any of the locations we had selected! She managed to coordinate all the standard family shots in between rain showers (whilst keeping a smile on her face) and captured some truly amazing shots of my husband and I (with and without umbrella!) I would highly recommend Nova to anyone in the Devon and Somerset region. THANK YOU NOVA! x

Highly recommend Nova for wedding photography! Our photos are so beautiful, just so full of love and happiness. We adore them! Katherine and Steve were both absolute angels on the day, so unobtrusive but at the same time so helpful and always on hand. They made us feel so comfortable and we loved having some time away from it all just the two of us while they did the portraits. How they coped with people jumping in from of them with phone cameras, the dreaded group shots and ushers false starting the speeches a couple of times I will never know. I spot more and more hidden little details everytime I look at the photos. Laura & Lloyd xx

Dear Katherine and Steve, Ahhh thank you so so much for this email and the STUNNING photographs! They are absolutely gorgeous! We have been meaning to write since June to say a huge thank you for being there on our wedding celebration day. You were absolutely amazing and thank you so much for your patience with a mostly absent bride! The photographs mean even more to me seeing as I missed so many chunks and it’s been great fun being able to re-live the day, thank you.

Thank you for everything! Sarah & James xx

Dear Katherine & Steve. Thank you so much for the work you did on our big day. We couldn't have picked two nicer people to be involved on the day. You were both so calm and organised but full of ideas and up for a laugh at any given moment, which was exactly what we wanted. Thank you again and should anyone ask for recommendations in the future we wouldnt be able to speak highly enough of you both! Amy & George xx

Katherine and Steve were fantastic to work with. They really put us at ease, especially since we were feeling slightly awkward to start with. We did a pre-wedding shoot with Nova a couple of months before our wedding, which was a really great way of us getting used to being photographed. We felt comfortable very quickly, and they were very tolerant of us not knowing what we were doing! We particularly like the way Katherine and Steve work together - the fact that there are two photographers to cover the wedding means you really don't have to worry about anything being missed, especially during the crucial moments. It was also entertaining for us and our guests to watch Steve balancing on a rock holding up a diffuser while we soaked up the sun and Katherine took some pictures! Our pictures are wonderful. They managed to capture the mood of the wedding, and we particularly like the candid shots of our guests - they've captured some lovely moments for us. Their style is exactly what we were looking for - relaxed, informal, natural - and some lovely shallow depth of field shots. Overall Nova are professional, genuinely lovely people who take great photographs. Thank you very very much Nova, Rachel and Matt xx

We were completely blown away by our stunning wedding pictures, which captured our day so perfectly. From the moment that we met Katherine and Steve, we knew that we wanted them as our photographers. We had a very clear vision in our mind that we wanted documentary photography, something relaxed and not too posed, and Nova absolutely delivered. It was a huge benefit to have two photographers cover the day, with Steve capturing the boys getting ready, and Katherine capturing the bridal preparations. Getting those behind the scenes images is so special for both of us afterwards. Also, with two photographers at your big day, nothing will get missed, such as both of our faces as we first set eyes on each other at the church.

From start to finish Katherine and Steve were so helpful, professional and put us at complete ease. Their talent, beautiful photography style and absolutely lovely personality combine to make Nova dream photographers!

Dear Katherine and Steve We are absolutely thrilled with the photographs, thank you both so much! You really captured the mood and the emotion of the day in such a beautiful way, and of course the stunning surroundings! We have loved going through the photographs together and reliving it over and over again. The speeches in particular are very happy memories for us, and this really shows in the photos — so much laughter! Thank you again for all your commitment, professionalism and understanding on the wedding day. We love what you did for us and would be happy to recommend you to our friends. All our best, Amy and Ollie xx

Katherine and Steve made our day super special, they are a amazing duo who made my husband and me super relaxed, even when there was chaos going on around. Felt very lucky to have found them and have them take the pictures of our special day. Would 100% recommend!!! Alice & Paran x

EVER AFTER, LOWER GRENOFEN, DARTMOOR, DEVON

Oh Katherine and Steve we absolutely love them!!! So many excellent shots (582 gives me goosebumps!) Kevin and I want to say a huge thank you for all that you and Steve did on our wedding day on 2 July. From help with ferrying buttonholes to and fro, a calming voice (and advice to have champagne!) when my nerves got the better of me, giving us space to enjoy some moments together while snapping away, and constant smiles and calm control throughout the day - we simply couldn’t have asked for more from you. Perhaps the biggest testament is that your cameras genuinely became invisible and it just felt like you were two friends enjoying the day with us. THANK YOU! Thank you once again Hannah & Kevin x

Katherine and Steve’s wedding photography was brilliant! They really put two normally awkward camera-shy people at ease and captured our day so well! Their style is natural and understated - just what we wanted. We particularly loved their evening shots and ones by the sea. Also, they’re both lovely, friendly people who easily fit round our somewhat disorganised schedule, worked well with our videographer and constantly had a smile on their faces. The pre-wedding meetings were assuring and the photos were edited promptly and sent via a nice web gallery we could share with our guests. We can’t recommend them enough!

We would recommend you a million times over! With very best wishes, Claire & James x x

Hi Katherine and Steve. We finally managed to sit down last night after a busy weekend and look through all our wedding photos. I genuinely don’t know what to say, we are just completely overwhelmed and overjoyed with them!!! We have laughed and welled up and had jaw drop moments over them all. You both captured the day so perfectly and you knew what we wanted right from the start without us saying anything at all. You’ve both always been so friendly and kind to us and have made us feel completely at ease during our wedding preparation. We felt immediately confident in your amazing abilities as photographers and completely comfortable with you as individuals that we knew right away you both were the only people that we would want to photograph and share our day. Thank you for working so incredibly hard on the day for us. Looking through the photos there were so many moments we had forgotten about and didn’t see and you have captured these so perfectly. I was worried after the wedding that I would slowly forget certain moments and I hoped people had had a good time and enjoyed themselves. Thank you so so much for capturing all of this and giving us an outstanding, unforgettable memory of our special day. If there is anything we can do to promote your fantastic work and what brilliant people you are please let us know. With all our thanks, huge appreciation and very best wishes.

My sister had used Katherine and Steve for her wedding day and we'd loved both her photos but also Katherine and Steve on the day! So when it came to our day, we didn't hesitate to use Katherine and Steve for ours. They are such a lovely couple and it works so well with Katherine taking all the bride preparation snaps, whilst Steve could photograph the ushers lunch. We loved our photos and so happy we got to share it with such a fab duo. Hannah & Fraser x

Katherine and Steve, we will never be able to thank you enough for capturing our day so beautifully. We are absolutely overwhelmed by how amazing the photos are, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. The photos tell the story of the day so well and it was lovely to see all the little things that we missed. You were brilliant on the day and we had lots of comments about how organised and friendly you were. You made us feel so relaxed, comfortable and confident, and we actually enjoyed having our photo taken on the day! Thank you again for all of your hard work and loneliness throughout the whole process, Abi and Jake xxx

Katherine & Steve, I wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for the other week and capturing our day!

It was such a pleasure to have you both on the day. It felt like you were everywhere and nowhere at the same time - completely non-intrusive given we were still photographed throughout the whole day, while being totally sure that all the key moments were captured! I think the engagement shoot beforehand was such a great practice too and definitely helped to put myself and especially Danny at ease :) We can’t wait to see the results!!  

We wanted to say a huge thank you for our album that was delivered this week!! It is truly magical    The photos all fit so perfectly together to create a unique feeling and memory for each page. And the cover and quality of the album itself is beyond all our expectations! A truly special piece to last a lifetime.

Thank you so much again to Katherine and Steve for all the work, beautiful moments and memories! It’s been a real pleasure to have you be part of our journey and also really appreciate all the support and care along the way with respect to my family.

Dear Katherine, thank you so much for our stunning wedding photos. They are all amazing and we had a hard time choosing just one for this card!
