Steve was simply great to work with. His passion and love for photography showed in everything he did. It didn’t feel like he was just there to do a job and leave, but felt more like he was there to celebrate the moment with you while capturing some great pictures. I got him for my proposal and before the actual day he walked me through everything and answered all my questions, that way I knew what to expect. He also made sure we got all the pictures that we wanted and made sure we had fun while doing it. Overall, his passion and great personality made for a great and fun experience.

Steve was the best photographer. Called prior to event and discussed all our wants. He made sure he had correct directions and was early. We were running late so Steve entertained the crowd by taking fun pictures of them. Crowd loved him. He knew all the pictures we hadn’t thought of. The pictures turned out fantastic and we received within 2 weeks. I tell everyone to hire him!!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible work Steve did capturing one of the most special moments of our lives! We got engaged in Idyllwild, and Steve was nothing short of phenomenal.
From the start, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos are breathtaking, every shot is a perfect mix of nature’s beauty and the love we share.
Steve has an extraordinary ability to tell a story through his lens, making the photos look candid yet stunningly professional. The lighting, angles, and creativity in his shots blew us away. Steve truly went above and beyond to make this an amazing day for us
If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also professional and genuinely invested in making your special moments unforgettable, look no further. We cannot recommend Steve highly enough!
Thank you for helping us relive this magical day every time we look at these beautiful images!

I hold Steve in the absolute highest regard, not only was he responsive but he was also very tasteful in his style. Steve is the embodiment of what you should expect from a photographer, he’s experienced and generous and it’s easy to remember that he is there for YOU and your moment. Steve goes above and beyond for his clients and anyone would be lucky to be graced with his professionalism.
