The Big Day
Stephen Michael captures "once upon a time" memories that will last you forever. We know how important this day is for every couple and how unique (and somewhat stressful) each wedding can be. Our job is to listen to your story, the hopes and dreams for your perfect day, and then let you both just take a breath and immerse yourselves in these timeless moments. We hope to come alongside your dream wedding, documenting the messy, the beautiful, the heart-stopping, and the raw emotion.
We understand that you want those group photos, and you'll get them! We'll guide you through the poses and draw smiles from your party. But! We want to have fun with you, too. Without taking you out of your comfort zone, we might suggest a few appropriate activities using the scenery and highlights of your venue, just to enhance the essence of your newfound happiness. Intimate moments, shared whispers, heartfelt speeches, celebratory dances, accessories, table décor - they're a given! We're also open to unique ideas. From bridesmaids popping Champaign in their PJs to groomsmen putting on the golf course, we want to capture the vision you have for your BIG day.

LOVE NOTES
"Stephen went out of his way to ensure we got what we wanted and more! Having your photo taken can also be extremely awkward and nerve-wracking but we found Stephen made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He also made for many laughable moments which made for some incredible photos."
LOVE NOTES
"We could not have asked for more in a photographer for both our engagement and wedding day! Completely professional and specific to us as a couple. Would highly recommend to any individual, couple or family looking to have their precious memories captured beautifully."
LOVE NOTES
"Stephen adds personal touches that really show he cares and understands you as a couple. We were blown away with the beauty and quality of the pictures and he presented them to us in a very special way. He put together such a beautiful wedding album for us that captured all the special moments that we will remember for the rest of our lives."

LOVE NOTES
I am so grateful we are for the beautiful pictures Stephen presented us with for our wedding day. He took so much of time, love and effort in making each picture look like a piece of art. Stephen captured the essence of our special day making us feel every moment and taking us back to all those special feelings.
Why we offer photography and film?
Because each medium tells a story in a unique way. Photography captures a single, timeless moment—one that can be framed, shared, and cherished forever. Film, on the other hand, brings moments to life, preserving movement, emotion, and sound in a way that still images cannot. Together, they provide a complete storytelling experience, allowing our clients to relive their most important memories in both dynamic and timeless formats.
By offering both services, we ensure that every detail is covered—whether it’s the quiet elegance of a perfectly composed photograph or the immersive experience of a cinematic film. Each serves a different purpose, but together, they create a lasting impact.
