About Stephen Latham Media

I provide photography and videography for a wide range of clients, from weddings and private events to families, businesses, brands and everything in between.

My services include wedding photography, elopements and destination weddings, engagement shoots, family and lifestyle photography, maternity photography, baby and toddler portraits, birthdays, parties, celebrations and other special events.

For businesses and brands, I offer commercial photography and videography, corporate photography, headshots, product photography, property and hospitality photography, automotive photography, social media content, promotional photography and short-form video content.

I can also provide event photography for corporate events, conferences, awards evenings, networking events, parties and other occasions where you want professional images capturing the atmosphere and important moments.

My style is relaxed, natural and story-driven, combining candid documentary photography with creative, cinematic imagery. I aim to capture people, products, places and moments in a way that feels authentic rather than overly staged.

With over 12 years of photography experience and a professional approach from start to finish, I can tailor my service to suit your event, project or personal requirements.

Whether you need a photographer for your wedding, a family celebration, a business, a product launch, an event, social media content or a special project, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Our Story

My journey into photography started over 12 years ago, when I picked up a camera after becoming a dad. What started as a way of documenting my family and capturing those moments that pass far too quickly quickly became something I was passionate about.

Over the years, photography has grown from a hobby into a career and I've had the opportunity to photograph a huge variety of people, places, businesses and events. From weddings and family portraits to commercial projects, automotive photography, events and social media content, every job has taught me something new and helped shape the way I work today.

What inspires me most is the ability to freeze a moment in time. Whether that's the excitement of a wedding day, the chaos and laughter of a family, a milestone worth celebrating, or a business owner seeing their brand come to life, I love creating images that people can look back on and connect with.

My style has developed around keeping things natural and authentic. I'm not interested in making every photograph feel overly posed or staged. I prefer to let people be themselves, look for the genuine moments and combine those with creative, beautifully composed images.

I'm naturally a relaxed and approachable person, which I think is particularly important when you're putting yourself in front of a camera. My aim is to make the experience enjoyable and comfortable while quietly getting on with capturing the moments that matter.

Today, I work across photography and videography, from private clients and events to businesses and brands. I'm always looking for new stories to tell, new places to explore and new people to work with.

For me, photography isn't just about taking a good photograph. It's about creating something that still means something years from now.

Our Team

Hi, I’m Stephen, the photographer and videographer behind Hide Tides Media.

I’m a Staffordshire-based photographer with over 12 years of experience working across weddings, events, families, businesses, brands and commercial projects. I’m passionate about creating natural, authentic photography and video that tells a story and captures people, products and moments at their best.

I’m a relaxed, friendly and approachable person, and I believe that makes a big difference when working with clients. Whether I'm photographing a wedding, capturing a family milestone, covering an event or creating content for a business, I want people to feel comfortable and enjoy the experience.

Although I work independently, I can also bring in trusted creative professionals when a project requires additional photographers, videographers or specialist skills. This means I can adapt to everything from intimate shoots to larger events and commercial productions.

Behind the camera, I'm a dad, a creative at heart and someone who genuinely loves what I do. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, getting outdoors, hiking or taking far too many photographs!

Whether you're booking me for a single event or looking for someone to create ongoing content for your business, I'll always aim to provide a professional, personal service from the first conversation through to delivering your final images and films.

Experience

With over 12 years of experience behind the camera, I've had the opportunity to work across a wide range of photography and videography projects, from weddings and family portraits to commercial, automotive and social media content.

Over the years I've photographed weddings, events, families, businesses, products, vehicles and people in a variety of environments, learning how to adapt quickly to different clients, locations and situations.

My professional experience also includes working in-house as a photographer and videographer for an EV automotive business, where I manage photography projects, create vehicle and lifestyle imagery, produce video content and help create content for social media and YouTube.

This has given me valuable experience working to commercial briefs, tight deadlines and brand guidelines, while still maintaining a creative approach to the work.

Alongside photography, I have developed extensive experience in video production and editing, including promotional content, social media videos, automotive videos and event/wedding films. I work with professional camera, lighting and editing equipment to deliver polished, high-quality results.

I've also continued to develop my skills across different areas of photography, including documentary-style wedding photography, portraits, commercial photography, product photography, automotive photography and content creation.

My biggest achievement is being able to turn something that started as a passion into a career that allows me to work with people and businesses on projects I'm genuinely passionate about. I'm constantly learning, experimenting and looking for new ways to improve what I create.

Whether you need a photographer for a one-off event, a family milestone, your wedding day or ongoing commercial content, my experience means I can adapt to what you need and deliver a professional service from start to finish.

Typical Clients

I work with a wide range of private clients, couples, families, event organisers, businesses and brands, providing photography and videography tailored to each project.

For private clients, I regularly work with couples planning weddings and elopements, families wanting to capture important milestones, and people looking for relaxed, natural portraits. This can include weddings, engagement sessions, maternity, baby and toddler photography, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and other family celebrations.

I also work with clients organising private and corporate events, including parties, conferences, awards evenings, networking events, launches and special occasions. My approach is particularly suited to clients who want the atmosphere and genuine moments of their event captured naturally, rather than a collection of overly staged photographs.

For businesses and brands, I provide commercial photography and videography for a variety of industries. This includes business portraits and headshots, products, property, hospitality, automotive, promotional campaigns, social media content and general brand photography.

I work with both individuals and established businesses, from one-off projects to clients who need regular photography and video content for their website, marketing and social media.

My ideal clients are people who value professional, creative imagery and want more than simply someone to take photographs. Whether it's documenting a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, showcasing a business or creating content for a brand, I take the time to understand what the client needs and create something that feels authentic to them.

I'm based in Staffordshire and regularly work throughout the West Midlands and across the UK, with destination weddings, elopements and photography projects also available further afield.
