We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience with Stephen. He made everything feel easy and stress-free from our first call, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day. When we received our photos, we were blown away. The images are absolutely stunning and tell the story of our day perfectly. Looking through them feels like reliving the entire wedding all over again. We’re so grateful we chose Stephen!
"We can’t say enough good things about working with Stephen/SDBPhotos. We did an engagement shoot first because we wanted to get to know Stephen and see how he works before our wedding. We loved how he tailored his posing and framing to what we asked for... my husband and I aren't great with posing so we wanted someone who could pose us effectively without making us feel like someone we weren't. He was super easy to work with and we had such a great time that we booked his full wedding package that night. Now onto the wedding. He captured such an amazing variety of shots, from wide shots showing off our venue and guests, to close-ups and candids of my husband and I. Stephen was calm, organized, and totally on top of things, which helped the entire day run smoothly. Especially during family photos. He knew exactly where to be and when, and somehow managed to capture everything without us ever really noticing him! When we got our photos back, we were honestly blown away. It felt like we were reliving our wedding day. We recommend Stephen/SDBPhotos to literally everyone, we've already passed his name to all of our cousins and friends."
