Was it fate that we found About The Day, because I don't know how we landed on their website? All I know is once I saw the photographs they took, I was hooked. After meeting with them, I didn't even bother looking any further. Just like meeting my hubby... I just knew! Take my word when I say, "you'd be nuts to not check them out for yourself!"

Yes, I realize I was setting an unattainable goal for our photography and my expectations were probably going to get both of us in trouble, but Stephen and Sonia were so wonderful to work with that I simply couldn't believe my delight, and, miracle of miracles… they actually exceeded our expectations! Crazy, right!? I've had so many compliments and tears of joy looking through my wedding photos that I've got to be their new biggest fan! LOVE.

Our photographers were so easy going and fun to be around. For our engagement and wedding shoot we were put at ease and had a great time. I expected to be so nervous! They made us comfortable in seconds and we knew they were pros! We love our photos so much and we also plan on booking with them again in the future!

Stephen and Sonia are just the sweetest couple, and both so very talented as well! I can’t imagine better photographers - and the fact that we got both of them was a massive plus. They did our engagement pics too and they just got us more excited for the big day. We still have people commenting on our photos all the time. I always show them to any of my friends getting married and now I believe we’ve convinced 4 already . It's nice to find genuine people who love their work and treat us like family! Big Love to AboutTheDay

Stephen and Sonia are such a beautiful couple. We feel we’ve made friends for life. They helped us during the day to stay at ease and even helped us manage our time better. Our family loved them as well and saw how hard they worked to capture our day for us. The sunset photos are our absolute favorite! It was exactly what I envisioned to go on our wall above the bed. Thank you again for making our day so memorable!

We absolutely loved working with Stephen & Sonia! They are fun and so talented. It cracked us up when they would compete against each other who got the best photo. Taking photos with them went by so quickly and even our family enjoyed them. Our photos turned out so beautiful and we are grateful we found them!

We've been so extremely happy with our choice to use About The Day for our photos! We had a few friends that offered, but this is the one thing we didn't want to compromise on. Our photos were very important, and we hit the jackpot with Stephen and Sonja. They were so fun to work with that we were worried at first that they couldn't be that good and fun too, but the photos were jaw-dropping gorgeous! Don't miss out on these guys!

You will not regret booking Stephen and Sonia. They took the time to listen to our vision and our day went so smoothly with their help. Time goes by so quickly and they both kept us on track so we kept up with our timeline. The photos turned out better than we expected and I can’t stop staring at them. We just bought a new house and we are going to have a hard time choosing ones to fill our home. Thank you once again you guys for your talent and for making our day so memorable.

I know this may sound a tad-bit extreme, but I mean it when I say, booking About The Day photography for my wedding day was the best decision about the day that I made. :) Okay, sure, I guess picking the guy I married was the best decision (duh), but having Stephen and Sonia there to document the most important day of my life still remains paramount. My best friend and her sister both booked About The Day for each of their weddings and after drooling over those stunning photos, I knew we needed to follow in their steps. Sonia’s fairytale-style photography translates into a dreamlike memorial of the most important moments of our day, and Stephen’s photos are so dramatic and energetic. It’s an awesome balance they have created together. I can actually see and remember the emotion of the exact moments. It is more than a picture. I am an anxious person to some degree, so having such a calming and truly easy going couple present on our big day made a world of a difference. They made both of us feel like movie stars or models; just enjoying the photo session and being caught up in the excitement. Those looking (so hopefully everyone) who wants the most beautiful, perfect, stunning wedding photos that you can imagine, make sure you book About The Day. It will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

Stephen and Sonia are such a great couple, and so very talented too! Gavin and I will be married 2 years in June and everyone that sees our photos are shocked at their beauty. I couldn't have found better photographers, and the fact that we got both of them was a huge bonus. They fit in so nicely with our friends and family and captured the day perfectly! They did our engagement photos and wedding photos and they turned out amazing. We still have people commenting on our photos all the time. I always recommend them to any of my friends getting married and there’s already been three. It's nice to find genuine people who love their work and treat us like family. Thanks Stephen and Sonia for capturing our perfect day!

My apologies for not writing a glowing review earlier. I have been so happy with the pictures that Stephen and Sonia took of our wedding and engagement, (and subsequent maternity soon after). My husband and I absolutely love the work that About The Day did to make our day last a lifetime. They caught so many unbelievable moments and details that were so important, and help us relive our day over and over with happiness and joy.

Hiring About the Day was one of the first decisions we made for our wedding and it was easily one of the best. From our first interaction we sensed Stephen and Sonia would be great to work with and we were absolutely right. To kick things off we did an engagement shoot with them and we were blown away by the photos we got back. Not only were they objectively beautiful photos but they really captured who we are as a couple. One of the great things about working with Stephen and Sonia is that you've got two people keeping an eye out for great shots, helping to set up the other person's shots, etc. - while we expected there would be value in having a team rather than a solo photographer we didn't fully understand that value until we saw them in action. Fast forward many months after the engagement shoot to late spring 2020, when the realities of COVID-19 started to settle in and we realized we'd have to scrap all our wedding plans and transition to a live-streamed elopement ceremony. Not only were Stephen & Sonia on board to roll with the change they were genuinely really excited about all the opportunities a smaller event would provide for great photos - at a tough moment for us, this enthusiasm provided encouragement for us to keep looking for the silver linings. This would come to be true again when our late June wedding turned out to be a cold, rainy, cloudy day (during which we planned to be outside for nearly eight hours). Stephen and Sonia thought this forecast was amazing and would yield incredible photos, which again gave us something to look forward to in the midst of being really disappointed that we weren't going to have the weather we'd hoped for. In the end, they couldn't have been more right - the photos from our day are absolutely stunning, in large part because of the side effects of the weather (no shadows to contend with, incredibly green foliage due to being wet, etc.). They also agreed pretty last minute to add on a video package so we could capture more of the day to share with family and friends and we absolutely love the final product. If you choose to work with Stephen and Sonia you'll obviously get gorgeous photos and video because they're incredibly talented; what you'll also get are two people who absolutely love what they do and bring that enthusiasm and creativity to every shot, which makes them really fun people to spend time with. We highly recommend About the Day!

It wasn’t easy choosing our wedding photographers because there are so many, but in the end we were truly blessed to narrow it down to About The Day! Stephen and Sonia were so easy to get along with and be around, that it made our photo time a highlight of our wedding. The pictures are surreal and the process from start to finish was easy and intuitive. They are masterful and it’s hard to do them justice in one little review, but take our word for it, they are truly the best!

We are so thrilled that we discovered About The Day for our wedding photos. We couldn't believe how amazing our photos turned out and we were blown away by all the details and beauty they captured. They anticipated so much beforehand that we hadn’t even considered and were so helpful and courteous with suggestions. I can't imagine how we could have made it without them! They also had a really great sense of humor that put our family and friends at ease. The photos were really fun!. We’ll recommend About The Day to everyone we know from now on.

We worked with Stephen and Sonia for our wedding photography and it was as stress-free as it gets. The two of them worked together seamlessly to capture all of our special request photos as well as all of the shots we didn't ask for but were thrilled with. They were fun and also professional which is often a difficult mix to pull off. We had no prior association with them and originally contacted them because we loved their photography style. Once we met them, we knew that they would be the perfect folks to capture our perfect day.

I think we fell in love with About The Day's photography from the moment I ended up on their website, and after reading about them, seeing their reviews and testimonials, and finally contacting them, I was sold. The funny thing is, I'm even more impressed after the wedding. I guess I sort of expected them to be helpful, friendly, willing, and gracious to sell their product, but afterwards, they remained the same, if not more-so. A total thumbs up from both my husband and I.

There's little I can add to our happy review, but see for yourself. They are masterful.

Although I really enjoyed working with Stephen and Sonia on the day of my wedding, I did not love my pictures. There are only a small handful that I do love/ like but the majority make me cry. I was so busy running around I did not notice my husband had unbuttoned his top button and had forgotten to re- button it during the reception for pictures. I feel that a photographer should have attention to detail especially for the bride and groom should have been addressed at some point.
Many of my church pictures were not edited and you could see an intense glare on all of our foreheads (it was hot). I had to go back and ask for those to be edited and only some of them were. We had immediate family pictures taken inside the church, and the pews ended up blocking part of the family members. I feel that the photographers should have noticed this and asked us to step back and go up onto the steps to get a full length picture of everyone in the immediate family. I expected pictures of my husband and I with our guests and we have NONE, there are actually no pictures from cocktail hour, which by the way was longer than an hour giving them plenty of time to snap photos. When we went outside for the bridal party pictures, Both photographers came out to take shots of us at the exact same angle in the exact same position rather than splitting up having one take photos of guests, while the other grabbed photos of the bridal party.
While my husband and I were waiting for guests to be seated, one picture of the entire room was taken- that’s it. During the first dance we did ask guests to come join us, and this is the only time we have any pictures with some guests. There are a lot of pictures where everything is blurry but one central image is not. For example, a half-eaten box of donuts (not something I want in my wedding pictures) was the focal point of a picture. A picture of me with my bridesmaids in our robes is also mostly blurry and most of the bridesmaids are completely blurred. Also- a photograph of a server was taken… and yet almost none of our guests enjoying the beautiful balcony or room…. . Additionally, I was very clear I wanted a sunset picture, and although the sun doesn’t really set until late in Washington, only one picture was edited to give the beautiful illusion of a sunset. The individual pictures of my husband are wonderful (unless you zoom in and notice one of us has our eyes closed), the ones of me however are horrible, nothing was done to edit out the under-eye shadow and the redness from hours of anticipation.
In the contract it did say 1000-1200 photographs would be sent to us after the 8 hours they spent with us and we received less than 700. After 12 weeks of waiting for the pictures we finally received them, and I cried for hours. I wish I could go back and make it very clear what I wanted or had everything written in an email instead of over the phone because I do not feel that my voice was heard. Pictures I had wanted and spoken to the photographer about were never taken. The attention to detail that I thought I was receiving was not there. Looking back, I wish I had been more vocal beforehand and during the time we spent together.

Yah know... It's impossible to defend ourselves in a review like this or give a response t...
o each claim? If you actually read all of it, I can only hope you came to the conclusion that "there's got to be another side to all this"? ...and there is... These things are inevitable no matter how good we are if we aren't given any time to work, and that was the case. This high-maintenance couple expected perfection from us during all their wedding dramas, delays, and partying - while only allowing us 20-30 minutes (Yes, seriously!) out of the entire 8hr day for photos. Their inability to stick to their scheduling used all the photo time for other things (that at the time was more important to them) like makeup that ran way late, the limo that had to leave because it was already in overtime by the end of their ceremony - allowing us a whole 12 minutes for family/wedding party pics (no pressure setting that speed record) - and bride taking on the table seating job for 30mins at reception when photos were scheduled, and on and on it goes... and although we tried desperately to get them on track over and over, photos were only important (and all our fault for not fixing) afterwards. Still our blog for their day was amazing... Especially given our extreme challenges. See for yourself on our website! **If anything... I think this speaks to what an amazing job we can do at almost a full-out sprint! :)

We were beginning to think we'd never find the perfect photographers for our wedding. We're not overly picky or snooty or anything, but we wanted to really feel like there was a meeting of the minds, styles, personalities, and a highly recommended (reviewed) photography couple, and Stephen and Sonia were the perfect fit! We felt an instant bond when we saw their work and a total sense of relief when we finally met them. We received all that we'd hoped for and got more then our money's worth in the end too! You'd be crazy to pass them over without giving them a serious look.

It was so easy to communicate with Stephen and Sonia; our photographers. I know picking up the phone isn’t fashionable anymore, but they were always there by phone, text, email, etc… They were extremely fair with their pricing and packages, and their professionalism raises the bar (and I heard that from a lot of our guests and friends too). Of course, what really matters in the end is gorgeous results and and wonderful warm feeling that they were perfect for us!

When my husband and I decided to get married, other than my wedding dress, my highest priority was an excellent photographer. I wanted the best that we could afford, and boy, we got that and more with About the Day. The husband/wife team of Steve and Sonia captured the essence of us and focused on what we wanted. Then the final product given turned up the volume and exceeded our expectations and dreams. Given a chance to choose anyone else and we would not hesitate to go with them again! The entire wedding day was absolutely perfect and About the Day captured that magic for us. Thank you so much!!

Sonia and Stephen are nothing but the very best! We had a small destination wedding on Lake Oconnee in GA and they captured the essence of everything we wanted to portray on our special day. They were professional yet laid back and fun to work with. Their prices are fair, affordable, and worth having them travel across country. The whole process from booking them to receiving our pictures went smooth and flawless! Reach out to speak to them to see if they are your perfect fit. They definitely were for us!

Do not compromise on your photography! We debated how much to spend and about cutting corners to save money, and in the end, we realized this was a one time thing that HAD to be perfect, and Stephen and Sonia were not only the logical choice, but the best choice! Their reviews are stellar and with obvious good reasons: Beautiful photography and gorgeous results, but also they're warm and charming people that make everyone comfortable and at ease. Take it from us, you aren't going to find a better couple to do your wedding photos.

Andree and I were delighted to have About The Day shoot our wedding! We'd met them at one of the weddings that we attended last year and both agreed then we were going to have them! Both Stephen and Sonja are fun and easy going, and make their work seem like it's easy (which I felt proved how talented they both are), and - my gosh - if you can't see what artists they are already by looking at that website, well... what can I possibly tell you? They're the best!

Photography was probably the thing I deliberated the most about. It was painful narrowing things down to the one I would be happy with, but Stephen and Sonia won me over as soon as we started talking with them. (Won 'us' over, really.) My wife loved them from the moment we met them, and the photos they take are truly stunning, so yeah, I couldn't be happier either. The end of a long search with a happy ending. :)

With Stephen & Sonia, everything was effortless and easy for us. Stumbling across their website was the biggest hallelujah in our entire planning process. The photos they take are amazing, but really when I look back, that's only one part of it! They are so fun to be around and make the part of the day my husband was dreading actually be a highlight afterwards. I was so happy to see him really getting along with them and getting into the photos, that I got all choked up right then. Afterwards, well, OMG! That is us? No way! We look amazing! If Stephen & Sonia can make us look that beautiful in our photos, then they should say they're not only photographers, but that they use magic too!

Obviously, the amazing photography we saw was our biggest reason for going with Stephen & Sonia, but I think they - themselves - are what made us certain we making the right decision, even when we kind of exceeded our budget. :) And, yeah, Our Wedding pics were glorious too! They help us a few times over the phone beforehand to understand our choices and scheduling, which was a lifesaver because this is all new and unknown, but they also really understood what we were wanting and worked within our perimeters too. A few of our friends who recently got married we're really unhappy with the photographers they choose, and working with, and watching Stephen & Sonia, you could see they really wished they could go back and use About The Day too. (A few even told me so!) Thank you again for the amazing photos. You really are the best.

I have nothing but high praise for Stephen and Sonja and their incredible talents. Their photography skills are obvious, but that alone wasn't my reason for choosing them. I think what won us over in the beginning was just their personalities and the fact that they really listen and care about what we where wanting. Every picture they took is a masterpiece and I still get all choked up when I go back and look through my album. Truly an amazing couple with a gift for making weddings beautiful forever.

Wedding photography was our highest priority because so many of our friends and relatives weren't able to be a part of wedding in Mexico, but we also didn't want to use the photographers that were almost being forced on us by our resort. Stephen and Sonia were the perfect photographers and solution for us, and even helped us a lot with the planning and what to do in a foreign location. After meeting with them we immediately knew they were the ones for us because of their photos (obviously), but also their personalities and their helpfulness. The money was well spent and we couldn't have been any happier with the results!

Our highest priority was to hire husband & wife photographers who produced amazing work, but still a couple like us; able to relate to us, and make us at ease. Stephen & Sonia were exactly that. Their easy-going and light spirits were contagious and we felt super comfortable. They easily became part of our group. We found them online, so communication was really important beforehand and they were always there to help! In the end the pictures were beyond our expectations (and that says a lot!) We couldn't be happier with our choice, and hope you'll give them the opportunity to impress you as well.

I sort of got to see a preview of my wedding photos a year earlier when my sister hired Stephen and Sonia for her wedding and her photos were fabulous. I knew I'd have them for my photographers even when I watched them working. They're a great team and a lot of fun too! I wish I could show you both our photos, but from all the other reviews, you'd be crazy not to hire them. Best wedding photographers ever. Seriously!

Truly, this was love at first sight! My husband and I had been looking for a photographer for a long time, but we just couldn't find something that felt like a perfect match until we found Steven and Sonia. They are so excellent at what they do, and their photos are breathtaking. At every point along the way they were helpful, listened, and really made us feel special... not like just another weekend gig. Thank you so much! You're the BEST!

All thumbs up here! We were so completely happy with Stephen and Sonia and their photography from start to finish. After looking for what seemed forever, we sort of both felt they were the ones for us. There are millions of photographers out there and if felt most just seemed like weekend hobbiests, but we just felt that About The Day seemed to love their work and their clients, and most likely to do what they promised, and they really did. Don't waste time looking any further! About The Day is amazing.

I cannot recall how we stumbled upon About The Day Photography, but my partner and I knew from the moment we landed on their site. We loved the "bold and In-your-face" style these guys use, and really felt like their images displayed our character perfectly. It was a done-deal when we started talking to Stephan and Sonia. You can tell they're professional and confidant, but also extremely interested in knowing us and our priorities as well.
At the wedding, they adapted well to the situations. At times, blending in and stealthily sneaking pics, and then with the groups, keeping everyones attention and making it really enjoyable and fun.
The photos were incredible and every bit what we'd wanted. We had no problem decorating with their exceptional work. Almost every picture is my favorite, but the sunset stuff is exquisite and a life highlight.
Thank you About The Day Photography. You were fantastic!

Hey Stephen and Sonia, I'm so sorry it's take so long to write you a review. We do talk about you guys all the time, but getting around to actually writing a review takes time and thought. :) You were amazing at our wedding and the photos you took are plastered all over our house too. Everyone still tells us what a great job you did and how much they love the pics. There isn't enough room to say everything we'd like, but in summary, you guys were simply wonderful and we'd use you again (haha - not that we're getting re-married.) :) Love -xoxox

I can tell you from my experience, About the Day is truly amazing. We were totally shocked by the talent of Steven & Sonia and the photos they took. I knew we were blessed to find them. Steven & Sonia were wonderfully charming and easy to work with, and it surprised me a bit that we would get great people and great photos! They had a really great sense of humor that allowed everyone relax and enjoy the time taking pictures (which, when I've been to other weddings, was dreadful), and had a blast. Check out their work. About The Day is wonderful!

From start to finish, the entire process of working with AboutTheDay was really wonderful. We were impressed by their photography (obviously), but as so often is overlooked nowadays, that was only a part of what we loved about our experience. Stephen and Sonia are fabulous people and their friendly, helpful, and good natured attitudes make them instant friends. They were always there for questions and help along the way with our planning too, and that was greatly appreciated too. We highly (really highly) recommend them!

We met Stephen and Sonia when we were in Germany for my sisters wedding and were totally blown away. Seeing American photographers there surprised us, but after seeing how they interacted with everyone and the final results, we were sold too. Funny things is, the price was just about the same for photographers here - and we hardly had to pay anything more to get what we wanted. We are trying to get my maid of honor to hire them now too. I think she will. :) Cheers.

About The Day Photography did my wedding back in 2011 and I'm so thrilled to see them growing in popularity and making so many couples happy. I still look back and I'm in awe of all my photos. I will cherish them forever. Sonia still checks in to say hi now and then too, which is genuine and makes me even more impressed. They are wonderful people and extremely talented photographers. Highly recommended.

I really loved these guys! I am also a photographer, so naturally I was extremely picky and finding the perfect one took me forever... but I knew after our first conversation they were the ones. They flew to the Panhandle the night before leaving for vacation and did an Amazing job. I could not have been happier with my choice. I refer them to everyone I know and I still have three children to marry and About the Day will be the first thing checked off our list! Love you guys so much!

Our experience with About The Day Photography was completely wonderful and was far better then either one of us had expected. I'm not saying we weren't expecting pure magic, because we were... I'm just so impressed that getting those amazing photos was so much fun and really a great part of our overall wedding too. Both Stephen and Sonia are very easy to relate to, and they were instantly a part of our group too, and I think that made a big impression - since my sister has already hired them for her wedding next year now! Overall, nothing would make me happier then to give them a big endorsement! They're the best!

Our day was amazing, and thanks to Steven and Sonia, it will always remain that way, not only to us, but everyone we share their photos with. I could gush on and on about them; their fun personalities, the great interaction with our families, and even their flexibility and helpfulness, but in the end, even that was surpassed by their stunning photography. Both Ryan and I were overwhelmed. Don't gamble on prices, freebies, or gimmicks! About The Day is worth every freakin' penny!

How can we ever thank you guys enough for all the amazing pictures you guys took? You are so good at your jobs and worked so well together that we couldn't stop bragging about you to all our friends for weeks! Everyone told us at the wedding how impressed they were, but when you posted our photos, they freaked out. My dad actually cried (good cry) when he looked at those teasers you posted, and he said he's getting you for Ann's wedding next year too! Awesome, right? We'll see you there!

Stephen and Sonia were so fantastic to have at our wedding and we totally stunned by the beauty of their skill with photography too. Both of them were instant friends with all of us and were so easy to get along with that it was a breeze spending time doing photos and throughout the day. Still, it truly was the photos afterwards that reminded us how fortunate we were to find them. 100% recommended!

Oh wow! This husband and wife photography team was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Really. Each and every one of the photos is breathtaking and a competitor for my favorite!!!! Also, my new husband isn't a fan of having his picture taken and posing for photos as anyone can tell you, but even he was having fun with Sonia and Stephen! I would recommend them to anyone!

I was really surprised - after wholeheartedly making up my mind - that Stephen and Sonya were from way up North in Washington. I thought they were going to laugh when I told them I wanted them for my wedding and I must have stumbled upon them by accident, but instead, they were totally read for - and able to cover my wedding without any hesitation or issues. I can't tell you what an awesome photography couple they are in a few words, but I was so happy with my results and I've turned on several of my bridesmaids now to them as well, so I'll be seeing them again soon. All the best About The Day. You are awesome!

It is an honor to tell the world about Stephen and Sonia. They are the nicest people, phenomenal photographers, and were instant friends from the moment they arrived at our wedding. Their photography is stunning (which you can see that by looking over their work), but what surprised us was how easily they fell in with our family and friends, like they'd been our friends for years. The results were breathtaking, and now my brother is using them next year! The biggest thank you to About The Day!

Let me start by saying how seriously impressed I am with Stephen and Sonja. From the moment we read about them, I knew I had to have them. My husband will say it was when we saw their photography, but I'm pretty sure the price helped him a lot too! We were both surprised how much photography cost, but with them, it felt right and worth it, whereas often I had no clue to why the others deserved it when we started comparing everything. They are really in tune with our preferences and kept in touch with us prior to the wedding to really understand our goals, but they also were amazing photographers that really went beyond our ideas and stunned us with their images! I will forever rave about my photos, and can't thank About The Day ever enough. You'd be crazy not to give them a look!

Sonia & Stephen are simply WONDERFUL from start to finish. I literally can not say enough about these two and their fantastic photos! They are so easy and flexible to work with, have great ideas, and always have a work-around in the inevitable problem arises. They make you feel so comfortable when taking photos! I am so in love with with every single picture! Everyone has commented on how they are impressed with the amazing photos these two have taken! Thank you two for all of your hard work! We will almost certianly be using these two in the near future. (: wink, wink! :)

Our amazing day lives on in the most beautiful photos you've ever seen, thanks entirely to Stephen and Sonia's tremendous abilities and blessed talents. Choosing them was a big decision that we did not make lightly, and admittedly, it boiled down to their personality and a gut feeling we both had. Thank God we did our homework and chose wisely because we couldn't be happier with our photos!

I can wholeheartedly say that we couldn't have been more happy with our choice of photographers. Stephen and Sonia were brilliant! The pictures the took somehow transcend my own memories of our day, and that's a very big compliment, since I already romanticize my wedding to the point of becoming a fairytale. Their eye for detail and genuine talent is so evident in their work and the results are splended and georgous. I am actually getting teared up just writing this because they impressed me so much. I hope you'll give them a seriously consideration.

So, first of all... "WOW!" About the Day blew our minds! What a fantastic husband and wife team! Steven and Sonia were such a wonderful breath of fresh air after searching photographers for weeks, and we knew it immediately too. They just were so genuine, helpful, and obviously talented that we were sold. We even moved our date because they were booked on the original date we'd chosen. Looking back now, my only regret was not knowing about them for my sister's wedding the year earlier!

Stephen and Sonia are absolutely incredible photographers, but they're also amazing people who really care about doing a great job and keeping people happy! From the moment we started talking with them, we could tell they were very understanding and listened to our ideas, and yet they had the patience and politeness to make good and helpful decisions that we really appreciated too. Honestly, I don't know how we'd have made it through the wedding day without them. They must have been zoo-keeper's in another life, because they handled our families and friends effortlessly (which none of us can do), and everyone loved them afterwards too. You know, I didn't even mention the best part yet. Wow, the PHOTOS were stunning and surreal. We love them and can't get over how amazing they look. All in all, I can't imagine better photographers, and I've tried. They're the best!

As a professional myself, I was very impressed and inspired by Sonia and Stephen when I was a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding. I can't always say that about the photographers I've encountered at weddings.
I am often amazed at what qualifies as a wedding photographer anymore. Sure, it's obvious that you'll get horrible photos from someone charging under a grand, but often I see people paying 5 times that much and seeing no more professionalism or quality results then the cheap guy!
Sonia and Stephen were an exception to rule in almost every respect. They were fast and efficient, professional and competent, obviously talented and yet they were gracious and humble too! I would even go as far as to say they were really fun to work with. (You can tell they enjoy their job!) I had to envy their skill, ease, and gorgeous results.
I'm using them for my wedding next year and can't wait to work with them again. - - Hann

Honestly, it hurts to spend so much money on anything, but there are times when you are so very glad you did. About The Day exceeded our expectations - and, I'll admit those were already set too high for anyone to really attain... Still somehow Stephen and Sonia did just that!!! We knew a friend who used them last year and wouldn't shut up about them and how awesome their photos were, so we knew we were in good hands. We were never disappointed throughout the entire process and now, yes, it's hard to get us to shut up about how awesome our photographers were too! Worth every dollar!
