It's been about 3 months since our wedding, and now that everything has calmed down a bit, I would be remiss if the very first thing we did wasn't to review Stephen / Whiting Photography. We met Stephen at an Expo, and from our first hello we knew he was the photographer we wanted to work with. His art matched the aesthetic I wanted; his personality and demeanor matched the feel my wife wanted. We wound up hugging at that first introduction, and every interaction afterward was just as easy.
Stephen was incredibly flexible with us for our engagement shots, and met us in our home to photograph us drinking mimosas and making pancakes. Stephen never felt like a stranger with a camera. He felt like a friend we had over for breakfast, who happened to recommend where we should sit to get the best light! My wife absolutely hates having her photo taken, and Stephen kept us laughing and comfortable the whole time.
The most important part of our whole experience, our wedding day, could not have gone smoother. Because of Stephen's communication prior to the wedding, and the questions asked from experience and from knowing us, Stephen and his team (+ second photographer) captured our wedding flawlessly. Our guests even complimented how stylist our photography team was, and they felt like guests and close friends. His team climbed on roofs to get sniper shots, climbed down rocks to get waterfront shots, and looked and acted professional and fun even though the temperature was over 90 degrees! We had fun on our wedding day, and a part of that was Stephen and his team's commitment to our experience.
And the finished products? The photos Stephen sent us? We cried. Every. Single. Time. From sneak peak, to full portfolio. Wedding planning is stressful; there's no practice run and no dress rehearsal with your full day. Pick a photographer who gets you, and your partner, and your vibe. For us, Stephen was all of that. We are forever grateful and couldn't recommend him stronger. read more
