About this vendor
Our passion is finding moments that define your day, and what makes it uniquely yours. Our favorite part of being wedding photographers is getting to know our couples and being a part of one of the biggest days of their lives.
We pride ourselves on giving couples a fun yet intimate retelling of their day through our photography. We want you to be able to look back to your wedding gallery in 10 years and feel those immense feelings you felt on your wedding day.
We are Lizzie and Stephen. We have been married 13 + years and have seen everything when it comes to wedding photography. We have shot all around the world but mostly stick around the US now that we have kids. We love watching movies, going on hikes and building genuine memories with our children. Lizzie loves to dance and you will find her on the dance floor shaking her booty as soon as open dance starts. She loves working out, wine and being a mom to her two sweet children (Liam and Imogen). You will find Stephen making dad jokes throughout the day and some of them might actually make you laugh. He loves starting projects (finishing them is another issue) and finding new music.

Stephen from Ramsden Photography was a joy to work with! He is so kind and creative and his photo style is so cool! We worked with him for our engagement photos and on our wedding day! For the wedding, there was even a second shooter who was also so talented and sweet (literally was fanning me on the hot summer day between shots!). He made us feel comfortable and was so helpful with posing - something my husband and I aren’t naturals at! Again, his photos are super cool and he made taking photos on our special day so easy and smooth!
Stephen and Lizzie were the absolute best overall from start to finish. They both were very prompt in helping us get set up for the big day and then even on the wedding day they were both amazing. They spent a couple extra hours of their free time to get to know us ahead of time and it really did help build a relationship and make us feel comfortable. I didn't feel we'd get that attention to detail with a lot of other vendors when looking around.
These two are the full package and we are so happy we went with them! The end product far exceeded our expectation and we couldn't be any happier! Would 100% recommend to any soon-to-be wedding couple!
Stephen and his wife Lizzie are the best wedding photographers ever! I knew as soon as I talked to Stephen on the phone for the first, he'd be our photographer. He is the nicest, most easy going guy. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, alongside his wife Lizzie and everyone at our wedding talked about how awesome and friendly our photographers were. They hung out with us from the time we started getting ready almost to the end of the wedding and it felt like two friends alongside us on our day, who also happened to capture the MOST amazing photos. They're funny, kind and so professional. We just got our wedding photos back and they are absolutely stunning. Hire them. You won't regret it!
Stephen was the absolute best! My husband and I knew right after talking with him on the phone that we wanted to hire him to be our photographer for our wedding! He was extremely responsive anytime I had a question for him throughout the wedding planning process. We couldn't have asked for two better photographers for the day of our wedding! Our entire bridal party loved having him and Lizzie around all day! They both knew what pictures would be most important to us and kept us calm and having fun throughout the entire day! We also received all of our pictures back TWO weeks after the wedding!! I HIGHLY recommend booking with Ramsden Photography for your wedding! I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you sooo much for helping make our day even more perfect!!
The Ramsdens are absolutely INCREDIBLE! They are a husband & wife duo who are some of the kindest, most easy-going people. Like many couples, we were a little nervous about feeling comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day, but those worries went out the window as soon as we met Stephen & Lizzie. We’ve been to a number of weddings but never been to one where the photographers received so much praise from the moment they started shooting with the families. They know how to get the best out of everyone in the room, and we truly felt they were part of our family all day long. Their photos blew our expectations out of the water. At this price point you won’t find a better photographer!
We have absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say. Look no further for a wedding photographer. They do an absolutely beautiful job and we will treasure our photos forever. They are also kind, hilarious, and a blast to work with. They made our day so fun and special. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
Stephen was the absolute best to work with. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and he was extremely flexible with it which made our already chaotic wedding planning that much easier. He has a great sense of humor, and knows exactly what he’s doing which takes any nerves away. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned out so amazing. The style is so elevated while keeping it traditional - highly recommend !
Stephen and his wife were literally amazing. They were such good vibes the entire wedding, and honestly, we received COMPLIMENTS from guests on how cool the wedding photographers were. Not to mention, the absolutely STUNNING photos they captured. Some of the most precious moments, we will have forever because of their skills and technique. I am so grateful we had them for our special day, and I would rehire them 1000x again in the future! Totally recommend. Such an awesome couple and amazing photographers!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Stephen and his work!!! After many weeks of searching for a photographer whose style I liked, I finally found Stephen and was drawn to his work because of his timeless editing style and the candid moments he captured. He was great to work with through our wedding planning process and was so gracious and flexible when we had to change our date and location of our wedding because of COVID. Stephen did an absolutely incredible job capturing our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with our photos!!! He made us laugh and feel so comfortable taking all our photos. He was so efficient in getting all the family/friends shots we wanted. I had family members comment about how they could tell he had shot many many weddings because of how well he did with the timing of getting all the photos in! (And it's true, if you want someone who has shot hundreds of weddings and absolutely knows what he's doing-Stephen is your man!) We are SOOO thankful for Stephen and will cherish our photos forever!!!
We are having to postpone our wedding due to the current pandemic and Stephen has been so flexible and helpful throughout the process! It's not a fun decision to make, but he's assisted in making it a smoother transition.
Stephen is one of a kind. I can say with certainty that he felt more like family than “just” a photographer. He worked so well with family and friends. My husband is not one for pictures and with Stephen there we had the most genuine & comfortable time.
My fondest moment was Stephen bending down to tie my shoe before I walked down a set of stairs. He is a gentleman, he is warm, and he is pure talent. He is the perfect addition to your big day team. Just writing this brings me right back to that wonderful day! I cannot express enough love and gratitude for this photographer!
Stephen was great to work with! He was often in the thick of things capturing sweet moments and all the joy of the bride and groom and their friends and family. Very professional and highly recommended!
If you want a guy that will take amazing pictures, make you feel like family, and be an all around badass then Stephen is the guy for you! Thanks to him, my wife and I now have a profile picture and a cover photo for life. I was a little nervous he would blackmail me with my ugly crying pictures but thankfully those pictures never made the editing floor. We met Stephen the day of our wedding and instantly connected. It was the greatest day of our lives and he was able to capture those moments. Alongside of taking our pictures he also got my wife drinks and food when she needed it, helped my groomsman tie their ties and jumped in whenever we needed help. We didn't want a photographer that would just point and shoot. If that's what you want then go ahead and use your Aunt Karen, but if you want a friend that will capture the magic that is your special day then go with my dude Stephen!
Stephen did an amazing job with our wedding photos! He has a great eye and captured so many special moments. He totally nailed our taste and we get tons of compliments on our wedding pictures when we have guests over. To top it all off, his pricing was super reasonable and I feel like we got more than we paid for.
Stephen of Ramsden Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. His demeanor throughout the entire process from our first meeting to the end of our wedding was calm, thoughtful and so caring. He made sure that every moment of our day was captured and all requests were made. I remember being so nervous waiting for wedding photos and once they were received (super fast btw) they took my breath away. He photographed every part of our day and when viewing the photos it truly feels like we are reliving each moment. I would recommend this company to any of my friends.
Ramsden Photography (Stephen) was the most thoughtful and in tune with our complicated wedding plans. Making sure he was there at all the necessary locations whilst getting meaningful yet natural shots of not only us but everyone invited the entire day. We can't stop looking at our hundreds of photos! Stephen is flawless, easy, natural, and a joy to work with as a person. He loves what he does and it shows through in his work. THANK YOU Stephen for making those of us uncomfortable in front of the camera look like we might actually know what we are doing :).
Stephen was excellent to work with his laid-back style and attention to detail. He captured exactly what we wanted and delivered our photos quickly! It's great when you can feel comfortable in front of the camera and he made us feel at ease all day!
I don't even know where to start regarding my awesome experience with Stephen.
My husband and I planned on doing an intimate lakehouse wedding through an Airbnb in Madison and last minute, decided to elope at Horseshoe Bend in Arizona; Stephen was on board regardless. He worked with us regarding what we wanted to capture while having fair prices; we were never surprised with "add ons".
When I was getting ready for the ceremony in AZ, I was so worried about doing my own hair and makeup that I didn't even think of pictures, but Stephen certainly did. He captured moments that I completely missed. He captured moments between my husband and son that I wasn't even aware of and obviously moments between my husband and me. These photos, I will cherish forever. Also, last minute, I wanted a videographer bc we were eloping and Stephen contacted a number of his photo/video contacts and found a great videographer for an awesome price that I would have never been able to find on my own. He's so knowledgeable in his industry.
Lastly. I cannot say enough good things about how comfortable he made my husband, son, and me. He was more like a friend with a camera than a stranger which made being the center of the camera way easier. He knew how to get a good shot while directing us, but also, let us be our organic, goofy selves while capturing that side beautifully too. Fantastic photographer and end product!
Stephen was absolutely amazing! He did an incredible job capturing every moment of our wedding day. He truly went above and beyond. He was great about capturing the atmosphere of the day through beautiful candid photos, and he was wonderful at getting everyone together for group photos as well. Would definitely recommend!!
My wife & I had Stephen Ramsden do our engagement and wedding photos and we LOVE them! He made the whole experience so fun and helped us feel a lot more comfortable. He is one of the most professional and intentional inviduals I’ve ever meet
The pictures turned out stunning and the price was more than worth it.
Stephen was such an amazing photographer! Him and his wife made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident during our wedding photos! He was also willing to hike a mountain and end up shooting in the rain (oops!) for us! We also received our photos back in a very timely manner! In addition to shooting our elopement, we asked that he come back to also shoot mine and my sisters wedding celebration! Stephen is a very kind, knowledgeable, and professional! I couldn’t speak more highly of him!
