I can’t over state how amazing Steve is! My wife and I hired him for our wedding and were over the moon once we got our photos back. From the beginning he helped us with the planning of the wedding as well as showing us things to avoid so we could have a smoother wedding day. He provided us with a true luxury wedding experience that we are forever grateful for. His style is easy going and very friendly. In addition to being professional he is personable and both of our families worked well with him throughout the day.

I can not recommend Steve and his work enough. From our very first call with him to our wedding day he was kind, detail-oriented, organized, and made us feel so taken care of. We had a destination wedding so I knew I wanted to find a photographer I could trust to bring our vision to life and Steve did just that. On our wedding day he provided great direction and made sure to get all the special moments we requested in our planning. He captured some of the most beautiful memories for us and would definitely be someone we would love to use in the future for more family milestones!!
