Get to know me

My couples are like me: laid-back, adventurous, and always up for a laugh (also - you probably love dogs).

I work to create a day that showcases authentic moments. You've spent a lot of time
planning your wedding, so I'll be sure to document the people and the details exactly as
they were. Posed portraits are great, but what really matters is the in-between moments
that tell the real story of your wedding day.

Hi, I’m Stephen,

Traveling is my favorite pastime, or should I say future-time (is that a thing?) since I’m always look for new places to experience. I love pizza – like could eat pizza every night for dinner and always watching pizza review videos kind of love. I have two dogs, one who is my best friend, and the other, who is that dog’s best friend. It works out for all of us that way.

At weddings, you can usually find me singing along to your favorite songs. I promise I won’t sing that loud – because I’m not that good. I’ll be there to teach you how to tie your first bow tie, keep you hydrated, and make sure you remember to take time for yourselves.

That’s what it’s all about anyway, you.

 FAQ’s

  • Photojournalistic. Fun. Easy going. Images that will capture the energy and emotions of your wedding day. I want you to look back on the experience and not the poses.

  • In a few instances, yes. If you are inviting over 100 guests, getting ready in separate locations, or are looking to have multiple angles covered throughout the day – I always recommend a second photographer.

  • Sure! Send me an email and I’d be happy to show you full wedding galleries.

  • An engagement session is great for two reasons. One, you get some time to enjoy who you are as a couple, doing things you love while getting awesome photos to share with your friends and family. The second reason? It’s great practice for your wedding day, and it will allow us both to get to know each other more. You’ll become more familiar with how I shoot, and you’ll likely be more comfortable as well.

  • Typically I deliver 75 -150 photos for every hour of coverage. The final count is dependent on many factors. You’ll get sneak peeks online shortly after your wedding, and then I’ll spend the next 6-8 weeks carefully color correcting each image to assure that they all meet my high standards. Your beautiful online gallery will be ready before you know it!

  • Most clients look to book their wedding at least a year in advance. Be sure to send me an email sooner rather than later so we can discuss availability.

  • Yes! For long-distance weddings, a travel fee will apply.

  • Collections for local weddings start at $5000 for 8 hours of photography coverage. Once your wedding date is secured, 40% is due upon booking, 30% is due at the halfway point, and the remaining 30% is due one month before your wedding date. I accept checks and credit cards.

  • On the contact page, tell me a little more about your wedding so I can confirm availability. Once confirmed, I would love to meet with you in person or have a quick phone call to start the booking process. A signed digital contract and a 40% retainer secures your date.
