We recently had the pleasure of working with Stan for our engagement photos and it was a great experience! We felt very comfortable throughout the entire process from start to finish. Stan understood our vision and executed all the photos perfectly. The turnaround time for the photos were fast too! We will definitely work together again in the future.

When shooting with Stan he was very clear on his vision, posing, and took us to several locations. The photos he took turned out so stunning! Even though I saw his amazing work online, I still was blown away by how beautiful the photos he delivered were! I cannot recommend him enough!

We highly recommend Stan and would work with him again! Unfortunately, Thumbstack will not let us select all 5 quick rating responses.
We hired Stan for our Boston City Hall wedding photo shoot. The ceremony was supposed to be quick and we wanted a photographer who knew how to work the area and if not could figure out ways to capture the short moments as much and as best as possible.
Stan was very quick to respond when we engaged. While it seems like he has few engagements, we looked past it because his portfolio showed great composition, mood, and lighting skills. We were not disappointed. Stan is quite creative and finds ways to work with the subjects and the surroundings.
He was punctual, did his research of the area, and showed up 30 minutes before we did to scope the area for the day. During the photo shoots, he was very active in directing us to the best angles and also engaging with us to see if we had ideas.
Often running ahead and moving from angle to angle, you could tell he was dedicated to producing good work. Stan had some locations picked up including some he thought would be an interesting shot to experiment with and it all turned out great. We would have spent the whole day taking pictures with him but unfortunately, had dinner plans right after the wedding.
We enjoyed the photo shoot and working with Stan and couldn't recommend him enough. He is probably one of the best on the platform! Attached are some examples of the work that he produced.

We can’t thank you enough Stan❣️ we didn’t think we would be able to have a professional photographer for our last minute wedding day but then I found you here on thumbtack… I was suspicious to hire someone unknown but took a chance. I think we hit the lottery when finding you! You made us feel more at ease each correspondence too. You showed up when we thought we couldn’t get anyone truly worthwhile and in such a short time. You arrived early, you took amazing photos, and it was a JOY to have you there making our day feel so special!! Everyone seemed to feel very comfortable working with you especially Ken & I. We won’t hesitate to hire you again or refer you! Thanks for the wedding photos that will be treasured forever 🥰❣️
This guy is a true artist and great at his profession 🥳👍
This site would not allow me to add the pics of our small rustic wedding at the historic South Ferry Chapel … sorry 🤷♀️

Stan is the UTMOST professional and an absolute artistic genius at his craft, I am over the moon with how amazing his snapshots of my wedding turned out! They are incredible and far surpass any expectations I had. Stan captured heartwarming moments I will treasure forever—he is an expert at adeptly finding those magical moments of pure authentic joy! I feel extremely blessed to have been able to work with Stan and highly recommend him and his work 5+++++ stars ! (5 stars is honestly not enough!).
Not only is his product exceptional, but the way he goes about his work with grace, professionalism and calming reassurance is exactly what is needed on such a whirlwind of a day as weddings all are. After the event, I also got my photos extremely swiftly and Stan was so helpful and accommodating every step of the way and captured every shot on my wish list. I’m incredibly happy and so grateful to Stan that now I’ll have dream wedding photos to cherish for years to come!
