About Us
Wedding Photography philosophy
My goal is to produce captivating images that will not only tell a story that reflects both you and your special day but ones that you will cherish for a lifetime. I aim to document those special and subtle moments of your wedding in such a way that those unable to attend feel as if they were there.I am based out of Olympia, WA and am available to service locations throughout the Northwest from Seattle to Portland and surrounding areas. I f you have a destination wedding, I embrace the opportunity to shoot new and unique locations both nationally and internationally and will work with you to create a custom package to fit your needs.

My portrait approach is to create images that are a reflection of you and your personality. I strive to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere and prefer shooting in locations that hold some special meaning to you whether it's in your own home or a favorite park.Corporate Clients

Steve brings a wonderful twist to modern photography - his innovative ideas were fun to pose for and turned out awesome in the prints. Steve is both professional and down to earth. He made me feel instantly comfortable and my session was fun and energizing. He had unique ideas that turned out wonderful. Thanks Steve!!

Steve has a natural eye through the camera. He took pictures of my daughter when she was just 5 weeks old that were absolutely beautiful. He does a wide range of photography from young children (which he has of his own), weddings, and action. He can capture those moments that tell so much with just one picture. I highly recommend hiring Steve to do just about any photography there is.
