about Working with Stephen

My name Meagan, and Stephen photographed our Illinois wedding. When looking through my wedding photos I was completely blown away by the attention to detail, and how effortlessly natural and beautiful the moments were captured. Stephen has an incredible eye for detail, a stunning and impressive portfolio, and years of experience that lead me to know he was the perfect choice for my wedding photographer!
I love natural, bright, and timeless photos, and I originally struggled to find a photographer who fit that style and delivered beautiful photographs that weren’t overly edited. Stephen completely wiped away my worried when I saw his work, and he delivered exactly what I wanted and beyond in our beautiful photos! Having a photographer who understood my vision and so beautifully brought it to life took so much stress off of me as a bride.
From the moment Stephen started on the day of my wedding, he was calm, knowledgeable, and so reassuring. His directions were clear and easy, and made you feel automatically natural and relaxed in front of his lens. I felt so relaxed and at ease as he explained every step and continuously made sure he was doing exactly what I requested. I originally felt a bit nervous about the lighting situations, as well as some of the general aesthetics of the environments, but Stephen blew me away with how he made every single photo in every environment absolutely perfect!
My husband and I could not stop talking about how wonderful Stephen was to work with and how much we will treasure the moments he captured. I have truly never seen more beautiful wedding photos, and I would recommend Stephen to anyone for any kind of photography needs. If you are looking for a guaranteed stunning gallery of photos for any moment or occasion, Stephen is your person! I couldn’t be happier!

Hiring Stephen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! He is so talented, and captured every moment beautifully. We are obsessed with the photographs and now have memories that we will cherish forever.
We did our initial engagement photos with Stephen and really enjoyed working with him, so we booked for our wedding.
He was professional and thoughtful in the lead-up the wedding, making us feel special and took the time to understand our style and preferences. On the day of the wedding, Stephen and his second shooter were a joy to work with. They blended into the background, capturing candid moments and genuine emotions without ever feeling intrusive. During the formal portraits, they provided gentle guidance to ensure everyone looked their best while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable.
The turnaround time for our photos was incredibly quick, (we were shocked with turning around the full gallery so quickly!!) and the quality exceeded our expectations. Each image was beautifully edited and has a timeless and classic feel. We are so excited to share more with family and friends. If you're searching for a photographer who is not only talented but also passionate about capturing the essence of your special day, we highly recommend Stephen. He is a true artist and a joy to work with!!

Finally returning to normal life, but I wanted to send another thank you for Stephen!!
His professionalism, attitude, friendliness, skill, BASICALLY EVERYTHING, shone through, and he was one of the high points of the wedding! Literally everyone loved him. I’m so thankful I had Stephen there to share the day with us, and I feel fully confident that he took amazing pictures.
I wish I had another big moment to use him lol. So many guests voiced their praise of him, and I already had one friend say she was going to book him!
