Hi, I'm Steven

Less posing. More you.

Hate having your picture taken? Good, we'll get along. I'll guide you when it helps and get out of the way when it matters, so your photos look like your day actually felt.

    I've seen every kind of day, so nothing throws me. I keep the timeline moving, round up the family for group shots and have a plan B if it rains.

  • Candid over cheesy

    Real laughs, real tears and your uncle's dance moves. When I do pose you, it takes seconds and feels natural.

  • Fast, for real

    Sneak peeks and your full gallery, the week after your wedding. Photos that look great on your phone and just as good printed big.

Your day, the way it felt.

Barns, backyards, churches and downtown streets. A little documentary, a little editorial, and nothing that looks like it came out of a template.

Rustic meets glam.
That letter hit home.
Just married, and nobody is holding back.
Your crew, going all in.

The signature shot

When the sun goes down, it gets good.

When the weather and timeline allow, we'll sneak out near the end of the night for my signature backlit night portrait: one light behind you, a little smoke or rain or neon, and the two of you in silhouette, glowing, while the party carries on inside. Fair warning, it tends to become the phone wallpaper.

Steve did our engagement and wedding photos and they came out amazing. We were extremely happy with the outcome. It was great working with him, as he was professional, comfortable and fun to work with ... and also was very accommodating when we had to postpone twice. We made the right choice and would highly recommend him.

Steven was absolutely wonderful to work with! ... We also had our engagement photos done by Steven and loved them all! We have several framed in our home. ... Steven was understanding and kind the entire way through, making our lives a little bit less stressful which we're very thankful for.
