ABOUT YOUR MENTOR

One-to-One Mentoring by Ste Walker

Since 2017, I’ve photographed weddings across five continents and in 15 countries. All over the UK and in places like Italy, France, Mexico, Ireland, Kenya, Sri Lanka, the USA, Albania, and more. But this isn’t about how many stamps are in my passport. It’s about what I’ve learned through years of showing up, evolving, and building a business that genuinely works, and how I can help you do the same in a way that feels right for you.

Before I picked up a camera, I served in the Royal Air Force, where a big part of my role involved mentoring and supporting the personal development of junior servicemen. I’ve also taught personal training, mountain biking, rock climbing, and even guitar. Helping people grow has always been part of who I am, and now as a mentor for wedding photographers, it’s something I’m deeply passionate about. It’s also one of the core reasons we created FedWed.

FedWed exists to help photographers build businesses that are profitable, fulfilling, and uniquely their own. I’m not here to show you how I do things so you can copy them. I’m here to help you figure out how you want to do things, and then support you in making that happen.

When I first started out, I was lucky enough to be mentored. That experience gave me direction, confidence, and real momentum. Now I offer that same kind of support. Honest, practical, and completely personalised. Whether you want to shoot stronger images, book more destination weddings, refine your editing, improve your workflow, crack SEO, or just feel more confident with pricing and enquiries, I’ll meet you where you’re at and help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

My approach is open and direct. I don’t hold anything back, and I won’t just tell you what you want to hear. I’ll give you real feedback, real tools, and real strategies, all built around your goals, not mine.

If you’re ready to grow, charge more confidently, make better work, and build a business that feels truly yours, I’d love to help.

Discovery Call

We recommend you start here if you have not booked any mentoring with this mentor before. A discovery call is a short intro call to talk through your goals and figure out the best next step. You will get this back as a discount off any mentoring sessions.

Online Mentoring

Google Meet sessions you can do from anywhere — focused, flexible and personal. Pick a session length that fits with your goals for the session. One hour sessions are great for quick wins like critiques and audits, or specific questions. Two hour sessions are better for deeper dives. Better still go with a bundle of sessions so you can see real progress over 3, 6 or 12 weeks. You will be able to increase the quantity of sessions on the cart page after clicking the book button e.g. if you wanted to book just 3 one-hour sessions.
