  • 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!!

  • Steve's ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was incredible. He captured the essence of our love, and it shines through in every photo. His guides helped us every step of the way, from our engagement to wedding day. We will cherish the memorie forever!

  • We couldn't have asked for a more supportive photographer. Steve not only captured our love beautifully but also went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly.

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 though out the day.
