Wedding photography often takes scrutiny from the industry at large; whether fine art, industrial, editorial, or commercial, many don’t think wedding photography is, ‘true art’.
However, to be a wedding photographer is to be a photo ninja! As a wedding photographer, you are REQUIRED to help people feel at ease, to be unobtrusive, work like an imbedded photojournalist deep in the trenches and shoot with the veracity and technical acumen of a fashion photographer.
Weddings demand it ALL! And they are good fun too! It is always my great privilege to share in the day with the couples who honor me with their decision to have me document their day.
Give me a shout, let's talk! ~Steve

Steve is amazing. Is he available on your date? Great! Book him right now.
We picked Steve because we loved his photos from other weddings, his professional communication style, affordability, and down to earth demeaner.
We had a few calls with photographers, honestly hard to distinguish one from another after a while - however, after our call with Steve, he sent a follow up email regarding details on what we discussed along with links for us to view another similar wedding size/vibe that he shot. His communication throughout was professional, timely, and thorough.
He captured our wedding day perfectly. He showed up exactly on time, and was comfortable to jump right in. In each location where we took photos (where bride got ready, groom got ready, hotel, and venue) he would scope out the area and present a few options of which he thought would look best for whatever was next. This was helpful to keep things moving but I still felt like I was part of decision making.
He also has such an artistic eye! We have the traditional wedding photos that most have but also he would tell us - "okay go with me on this" and he would tell us where to stand and "have a moment" and he would get reflections or angles that I would never have thought. Stunning stunning photos.
Everyone was like - where did you find your photographer?? He is amazing!!! And I honestly don't know how we got so lucky. I cannot recommend him enough.
I woke up the morning after the wedding and already had a 'sneak peek' waiting in my inbox. It was so fun to have even a handful of photos already while you're still running the wedding-high. And then he sent us the link to all of our photos within 12 days (12!!!). I can send the link out to family and friends and I get to print any/all of them (no extra fees).
If you like his style from his example photos - he is your man. Professional, affordable, high quality, low stress. I don't know how to recommend him highly enough.

Steve at ING was so easy to work with. Both him and his wife Val were very attentive to our needs. From our engagement shoot early on, we told him that we are not very serious people and we like to goof around a lot. We gave him a very small list of shots and groups of people that we wanted to get photos of, but other than that, we let them work their magic. They turned out hundreds of high quality creative shots, in a very short period of time. There were some shots he was doing that we didn't understand what it was going to look like in the end, but clearly he has a great eye and a great vision.
Any questions?

Stephen and Val did a spectacular job on our wedding day. They found the most perfect spots and spectacular lighting for the best photos. As a couple, we hate pictures and usually try to avoid them, but Stephen and Val made us feel comfortable and helped us know exactly what to do. I let them take the reins and their creativity and professionalism shined through every shot they took. Highly recommend them for your special day or any photo session.

Steve and his wife were amazing photographers for our wedding. Steve kept everything moving throughout the night and came with a game plan so there was no down time during photos. Any chance Steve had he took pictures, capturing every moment so well. He took time during dinner to go and scout for places to take pictures within and around our venue, and he and his wife took us away for about 15 minutes and took some amazing night photos, taking advantage of their back light they brought with them. Thank you so much Steve!

ING was right on time, extremely fun, easy to work with, AND took incredible photos. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photography experience. Not only are the pictures amazing quality but we really feel as though Steve captured the vibe of our wedding. Our wedding was very laid back, with lots of dancing, lots of s'mores, no seating charts, and CAMPING! So Steve made sure to take pictures of all the "fun" too, not just the bride & groom, ceremony, speeches, etc. You will be thrilled with your pictures if you let ING capture your moments!

We can't thank Stephen and Val enough for how good of a job they did on our super special day. As people, they have an amazing rapport and were so kind and caring to our needs all afternoon and evening. As professionals, they kept an eye on the time, ran to beat other photographers to a spots and kept things moving during family photos. As artists, they added their special touch to everything, and it all turned out amazing. Expert photographers who provided us truly unique wedding photos to remember our day. These are the photographers you want!

Valerie shot our wedding solo - she was truly a professional. Not only was she friendly and fun to work with, she got along great with our guests, took amazing photos, and was perfectly on time. She made sure before the wedding she knew exactly what was important to us, what we wanted to focus on, and what we didn't care so much about. She captured beautiful candid photos and just gorgeous planned shots, and I never even noticed her unless I looked for her. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thanks again Valerie!

We were so happy with INGphotography! They captured the essence of our wedding day perfectly. Stephen took the time to get to know us, our personalities, and really understood what we wanted to get out of our wedding photos. He and Valerie did an amazing job the day of, being at the right place exactly at the right time for the perfect candid shots, without being obtrusive. They picked up details we might have otherwise forgotten. They were the absolutely perfect choice for us!

Everything was great with ING photography. They were early to set up, had great ideas for shots and groupings that I would not have thought of. I never felt they were pushy or in my way. The photos all came out GREAT and we love the quality of the book we got. They were very very easy to work with, low pressure and very affordable. I would definitely recommend.
