Steve Grogan

The vast majority of Steve Grogan’s wedding photography is taken in a documentary style and he likes to tell a story through his photos. Steve´s favourite moment was once when shooting the bridal preparations he noticed the flower girl sneaking a little look at the bride’s wedding dress. This, for him, sums up the absolute beauty and innocence of childhood. A magical moment that he was so happy to be able to capture. These fleeting moments, and stolen glances are the ones that count, and the ones that you’ll be able to keep forever.
