I have nothing but absolute praise for this dynamic duo! Steph and Daniel photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out! Not only were they great photographers through the experience, but will be great friends long after. I highly recommend booking Starling and Sage, you will not regret it.
Steph and Daniel of Starling and Sage photographed our wedding in Bali, Indonesia this April and we couldn't have made a better choice. I literally cried when we got our photos back. I was floored that they captured my husband and I so intimately, honestly and romantically. I felt so SO beautiful looking at our photos. How often can we say that with complete honesty?! I don't know even know how to describe the feeling!
They have a warm and relaxed way about them that made us feel so comfortable immediately. I usually find it intimidating to have someone taking photos of me with a big camera but I didn't feel any of that at all! Their demeanour and etiquette when speaking to and taking photos of family, guests, bridal party etc. was impeccable. Never intrusive, always warm and so patient. This is just a testament to their extensive experience.
I love their aesthetic. It's raw and authentic, but beautiful crafted and organic. Never once did I look at a photo and think - Wow thats not how I look at all. I love that they don't believe in photoshopping and all that crazy stuff. They just capture you in the best light, at your best angle, on the most amazing day of your life and there's nothing more beautiful than that!
I could go on forever. I loved every single moment I spent with them and I'm forever grateful that I'll always have these gorgeous, timeless photographs to look back on.
Absolutely outstanding work! This married team works HARD, and somehow the photos look effortlessly, chic. We could not have asked for a better result. As an artist, I tend to be a bit picky about who I work with (to say the least). After days, weeks, even months of research, I’m so thankful we made the right decision on our photographers. The cake will be eaten, dresses will be stored away, and flowers will unfortunately die — photos however, last forever. Make the right decision to invest in timeless quality with these talented artists. Thank you so much!!
Fabulous photographers! Steph and Daniel are the absolute best! They are such talented, creative minds that worked to capture our day perfectly!
Steph and Daniel were a dream to work with, and our photos are gorgeous! They were professional and flexible, which I loved, and have since become delightful friends! I will always recommend them to anyone in need of professional photography!
Starling + Sage are the dreamiest! As photographers, they have a unique artistic vision, and as people, they are kind and caring. Our entire experience, from engagement session to reception, was perfect with the quirky confidence of Starling + Sage leading the way.
Upon receiving our photographs, my husband pointed to a shot and said, "This one. This is the one we'll show our grandchildren one day." We will never be able to thank Starling + Sage enough for capturing the moments that our family will treasure for generations!
Beautiful pictures! Fun and easy going yet professional. It was such a pleasure working with them. Our engagement and wedding pictures were just how we dreamed they would be!
I knew as I selected Starling and Sage to do photography that they produced stunning work. I was not disappointed. Not only was I thrilled with the product, they were so fun to work with from the engagement shoot through picking out photos for our album. You can't beat a husband/wife duo that you enjoy hanging out with on your wedding day. S&S captured the essence of our day and didn't miss a beat! I will cherish my gorgeous photos forever!
Steph and Daniel were so amazing to work with! They made the decision making easy for me. I appreciated their knowledge and professionalism. My wedding photos captured the spirit of the day and I will look back at them always and smile!
Stephanie and Daniel were a joy to work with. For both our engagement session and wedding day, they made us feel easy, relaxed, and special. Our photos turned out beautifully, even our engagement shots with two unruly dogs! To top it off, the packaging of our final prints and album was extraordinary - very elegant. I would wholeheartedly recommend Starling and Sage to anyone in search of an excellent wedding photography team!
Cannot say enough good things about Starling and Sage! They made my wedding day truly memorable, and I can't imagine using anyone else. Having two photographers is an absolute must as both get amazing shots from different angles that you definitely want to have after your wedding day is merely a blur. Starling and Sage capture moments that you want to remember for a lifetime with delicate and romantic artistic style.
Love these guys. All the images and products were of incredible quality and delivered in a timely manner! Would definitely recommend!
We had such a great experience with Starling and Sage! I was particular about who I wanted to be our photographers. I had a vision for the style and quality of the photos that I wanted, and they met all of my expectations. They are professional, thorough, and prompt, but also made us feel relaxed and taken care of. My husband and I look at our photos all the time. Definitely one of our biggest treasures from that day. Their work speaks for them - they are seriously talented!
Starling and Sage photographed our engagement session and our wedding. The photos were absolutely breathtaking and looked like a fairy tale. They really captured the family oriented, vintage, and unique look of our wedding perfectly. The whole process is easy and everything is planned for the wedding day, so no rushing through photos. HIGHLY recommend them! Their work is truly art and worth every cent.
One of the best wedding planning decisions I made was asking Starling & Sage to do the photography. We did engagement and bridal sessions and wedding day photography. Daniel and Steph are like great friends who make you feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. Their artistic vision is unmatched and I couldn't be more thrilled with the moments they've captured of my husband and me during this most special time in our lives. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone looking for creative and beautifully styled photography.
Starling and Sage Photography is amazingly professional and great at what they do. We are so glad we made the investment in beautiful pictures of our wedding. They captured our day even better than we imagined.
My partner and I fell in love with Starling and Sage's work and photography style and knew we wanted to engage Steph and Daniel for our wedding.
Right from our first meeting, Steph and Daniel were very professional and helpful. Most importantly, they made us feel very at ease. So when it finally came to the day of the shoot, it didn't feel awkward or forced for my partner and I to be our usual goofy selves in front of a lens. And, more than anything else, I think that sense of ease, being comfortable and trusting in our photographers, translated into the beautiful photographs which we received. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you so much Daniel and Steph!
Picking a wedding photographer can seem very overwhelming due to the amount of money usually involved. Choosing Starling and Sage was hands down the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. They were worth the investment ten times over. Our entire wedding party couldn't stop bragging about how great they were. They make you feel so comfortable the entire day. They are complete PROFESSIONALS. After hearing horror story after horror story of wedding photographers, I knew from our initial meeting I needed to book them before they were no longer available for our date. Steph and Daniel truly are the best.
Daniel & Steph are amazing!!! They were one of the very first people I called when beginning the wedding planning process. I knew that when my wedding was over, all I would have to look back on would be pictures. I wanted amazing pictures and Starling & Sage delivered. Daniel & Steph gave us all we wanted and then some! They are the sweetest people and truly will do whatever it takes to make your wedding experience all that you want it to be and more!
My husband and I loved working with Daniel and Steph. Their work is beautiful and breathtaking. Our pictures exceeded our expectations. Daniel and Steph are a pleasure to work with and have such creative ideas. We can't thank them enough for capturing our journey to becoming Mr. and Mrs.!!!
My fiancé was actually the one who mentioned Starling and Sage when it came to deciding photographers for our last minute engagement ceremony and I was so glad he did. They were absolutely amazing and so accommodating during our session. They were able to take photos of us in our natural environment but at the same time gave us direction when we needed it. The pictures came out beautifully and I still love looking at the photos. I can't wait to see what's in store for our wedding.
After searching relentlessly for a wedding photographer, I found Starling and Sage. Their ability to capture a story between two people is quite beautiful. As a bride, this a day I thought of and knew specifically what I wanted, especially in our wedding photos. For me, our story was what I wanted to be seen through the photographs. That is exactly what I found to be true with Starling and Sage, even before our wedding day. When I decided to go with them, I was emailed a questionnaire to be filled out about my husband (at the time fiancé) and I. It included our story, how we met, what we enjoyed to do together, favorite memories, ect. Not only were Starling Sage willing to get to know us as a couple but they also new the importance of this day. Organization was a HUGE plus for me. I knew I made the right decision when weeks before our wedding, I filled out a second questionnaire about what the schedule for that day would look like. It was very detail oriented and very helpful for me just in filling it out. The week before our wedding I was given the exact schedule of our day. Because our wedding party and families were aware of our photographers schedule everything went better than I could have imagined. Everything was comfortable with Starling and Sage, which allowed our wedding party to relax and enjoy our photographers. This also allowed Starling and Sage to do what they do best, capture our story.
Photographs and memories are what my husband and I have to remember the most important day of our lives. Starling and Sage captured it with such a beautiful sweet elegance. Every photo taken shows exactly that and more.
Starling and Sage are absolutely incredible in more ways than I thought possible in a photographer. They are easy to work with, care about what you want the outcome to be, inspiring to work with, and an overall joy to work with.
They got my photos and photo album to me in a great timeframe.
I'm so thankful they were my photographers for one of the biggest days of my life!!!
Hiring Starling and Sage was one of the best vendor decisions of wedding planning! It was easy to communicate with Steph during the planning process. We LOVED our engagement photos and getting to know Daniel and Steph during the session (husband/wife photography team!!). We had a rainy wedding day, but our photographers eased our nerves and jumped into Plan B. We are THRILLED with the photos and are so thankful to have our day preserved by these two. These photos are a treasure!
I chose Starling and Sage because of my family's positive experience in using them with my sister's wedding. They become fast friends while upholding professionalism. Their work is dependably unique and beautiful, while working with them is easy and reliable. They make the whole photography experience fun and relaxing because you can trust the final product will be exactly what you'd hoped for. I would recommend them again and again!
Starling and Sage are the absolute best wedding photographers in Mississippi! I feel as if I had two major hurdles to overcome in choosing my wedding photography team, first, I was a curvy bride and, second, my new husband has an awkward/forced smile when posing. Starling and Sage relieved both of these concerns! As a curvy woman, I rarely think I look as beautiful in photographs as I feel in person. The images that Starling and Sage captured at my engagement session made me look as gorgeous as I feel! And my (now) husband looks relax and happy – no forced smiles. Everyone who looks at our engagement photos comments about how happy and in love my husband and I look. And I am still amazed at how Starling and Sage managed to capture so much of our love and happiness in their images. On our wedding day (09/05/2015), Stephanie was a major calming influence on my wedding morning. After a major debacle at the hair/make-up salon, which resulted my bridesmaids not being able to help me get ready, Stephanie calmed me down, got me into my dress, and settle my mind to be ready to take ‘first-look’ pictures with my groom. I will be forever grateful for her intervention and her and Daniel’s professional and calm presence on my wedding day. Stephanie and Daniel are the very best photographers in Mississippi and probably the entire Gulf region. If you go with Starling and Sage, you will have an amazing experience and get only the most beautiful images!
We loved them! Very professional and funny! They are great and keeping things fun and entertaining. Very talented as well!!
My husband and I loved everything about our experience with Starling and Sage! Finding the right photographer was the hardest part of our wedding plans, but we could not have been happier with our decision! Out of all of the other options we looked into from other photographers, the package that we selected from Starling and Sage could not be beat, in price or quality! We were able to have an engagement session, bridal session, plenty of hours the day of the wedding, and several pictures and a memory book all included! We are so in love with how this special time in our lives was captured, and could not have dreamed of more beautiful results! Daniel and Steph made us feel so comfortable in each session giving our pictures such a natural quality! Even our bridal party mentioned how fun and easy it was working with our photographers. Choosing Starling and Sage as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made, and I know we will always cherish the stunning memories they captured!!
Starling & Sage did an absolutely stunning job on our pictures, both for engagement and wedding. I was pretty nervous about pictures, but they were great at making me feel comfortable. They were lots of fun, and the pictures are absolutely beautiful!!!
Starling and Sage are the best photographers! I went in with a vision and they went above and beyond to make it come to life!! They are great about capturing the moment!! I did 3 photoshoots with them plus the wedding!!! Every shoot was so much fun! My pictures are magazine perfect thanks to Starling and Sage!!! Daniel and Steph are so friendly and easy to work with! I always felt really comfortable working them!!! Im so happy I used them and I will have beautiful pictures/memories that will last a lifetime!!! One of the most important things about a wedding is your photographer!! And, I would recommend Staring and Sage to anyone!!! If you are looking for amazing pictures then, you better give them a call!! :)
Daniel and Steph were just amazing. From the first meeting my now husband and I knew we had made the right choice. Every photo session was one that was filled with ease and enjoyment. They were extremely patient with me when I forgot my second outfit for our engagement photos. By the time we got to the wedding day we felt like they were our friends that should be a part of the big day instead of our photographers.
We were more than pleased with how our pictures turned out and recommend them every opportunity we get!
Stephanie and Daniel of Starling and Sage were amazing! They were so willing and helpful to work with what we needed for our wedding to create the perfect package. They were very professional to work with, so much fun to be around and provided us with jaw dropping images!
Before the wedding we had quite a few correspondences to discuss how the day would go, when they would arrive and where everyone should be for pictures. The day of they showed up early to prepare and scout the location. As we are not the most comfortable in front of the camera we really appreciated their friendly demeanor to help relax us. They really felt like friends at our wedding.
I would recommend Starling and Sage to anyone
I wanted my grandchildren to look at our wedding pictures and feel what we did that day. Starling and Sage was able to perfectly capture the true emotion of our wedding day. From our engagement pictures to bridal portraits to pictures of the cake, every aspect of our wedding was beautifully captured. Daniel and Steph were so great to work with! They are true artists that effortlessly achieve your vision for your wedding photographs. This was, by far, the best investment I made in my wedding planning!
If you are looking for high quality, beautiful photos... Starling and Sage is the photographer for you! They can work with all types of weather, people, location. You name it, they will not only make it work but make it AMAZING! Worth every penny!
Worried that I was behind in my wedding planning, I contacted Stephanie and Daniel in a panic. Cool, calm, and collected, Stephanie provided reassurance and she and Daniel gave nothing less than 100% throughout. Their love for each other and photography is contagious and makes the potentially awkward pictures seamless. Above all else, their pictures are absolutely incredible.
Not only were Daniel and Steph beyond professional, they kept us feeling comfortable and relaxed the whole time. They told us everything we needed to do from bending a knee a tad, or looking at one another or just a simple smile and lower your chin a tad. We had a pretty hectic bridal party and family and pretty pressed for time and they were positive and worked with everyone! They are truly an amazing team I would recommend to anyone and everyone. I am beyond impressed with their photography and professionalism!
We absolutely loved working with Starling and Sage! Their creativity and style can not be matched. I absolutely loved how everything they did for us turned out and had so much fun working with them. Taking pictures can be awkward, but they always made us feel 100% comfortable during the process. I would recommend them to anyone!
My husband and I chose Starling and Sage (formerly known as Daniel and Steph Photography) as our wedding photographers. We could not have chosen better photographers!! After our first meeting, we knew they were the ones we wanted to help us capture our special moments! They made our entire experience absolutely perfect! All of our photos are more beautiful than we could've imagined. They are true professionals, and amazing people! They made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the cameras....which is a true talent! We had so much fun with them!!! They were there for the beginning of our lives together, and we will make sure they are there to capture many other special moments!
Finding a good photographer can be tough. But with Daniel & Steph you'll get two amazing, talented artists to work with! :) They are very easy going, and their photos really capture moments in a way that I can't even describe. Totally worth the investment! You will not regret it!
They are extremely kind and friendly. I have never seen such beautiful pictures. I saw their pictures online and knew that was exactly what I wanted! I cannot say enough great things about them! The pictures are my favorite detail about my wedding. They made a very busy time easy and enjoyable. They make the best pictures trust me I searched until I found them the best.
Amazing photographers! Very easy to work with. I would for sure recommend Daniel and Steph! What an amazing duo!
Daniel and Steph we're wonderful photographers to work with. Their personalities were a lot like ours which made working with them that much more enjoyable. They made each photo session laid back and fun. They offer a wide variety of bridal and engagement packages to fit anyone's needs. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer.
Daniel and Steph photography was nothing short of an amazing experience. They were easy going, flexible, while being extremely professional at the same time. We've had photographers that have been fairly awkward, but Daniel and Steph made us feel like part of the family, as if we had known them for years! Plus, you get the benefit of having two photographers and choosing from two different points of view when selecting your photos afterward. The photos turned out to be incredible! You will not regret hiring Daniel and Steph!
Great people and great photography!
Daniel and Steph did our engagement pictures, bridal portraits and Wedding day events, they were perfect. They traveled with us to two hours to New Orleans to take our engagement pictures. D&S took the best Old Hollywood-esque Bridal pictures that are breath taking (if I do say so myself). They were with us throughout the entire wedding day, capturing moments of our perfect day. They captured the style and essence of our day with their photography that will not soon be forgotten.
I used to work for another wedding photographer so I've see plenty of photos. I knew what I wanted out of my own wedding. When I saw the photos that Daniel and Stephanie produced, I was astounded. Not only did they completely understand my vision with vague terms and phrases, they took it to another level with photos that took my breath away. Every photo I got, I would print on canvas and hang up if my new husband would let me. The main thing, for all those other brides, they made me look beautiful. Thank you!
I knew even before I found my husband, I had already found my wedding photographer! The comfort Daniel and Steph bring with them onto a photo-shoot makes even the most nervous photo takers (like my husband) at ease, and natural.
They allow you to enjoy your moment, all while quietly being in the background and they capture each tiny detail. I am convinced that they are Ninja’s in their spare time.
The product will blow you away for years to come… Your big day captured in a timeless styled image. These are the images I will show my children and my children’s children.
I am very proud of them. THANKS DANIEL AND STEPH PHOTOGRAPHY!
Daniel and Steph are absolutely amazing!! They were able to capture every single detail of the wedding through photography and film. The pictures from my wedding were just breathtaking! I had a hard time narrowing down what I wanted.
Daniel and Steph know exactly how to capture your most cherished moments. The images look like what you see on 100LayerCake or Style Me Pretty!
My husband and my wedding was March 9, 2013. I love the way that Daniel & Steph Bishop won't shoot your wedding without an engagement shoot because they want to get to know you before your wedding day. I have never, ever had professional photos taken before and let me tell you, they were the most laid back, sweet, fun and professional photographers that you can have! They shot all day on our wedding, as well as video taped the wedding as well. There are 3-4 types of packages you can choose and we chose the largest so we could have a little bit of everything....I just can't say enough about them! I will recommend them to anyone and will use them for any professional photos for years to come....Love you Daniel & Steph!

Daniel and Steph are amazing. The quality of their work speaks for itself. The entire process leading up to our wedding was an adventure. They make everything so easy, fun, and personal. They keep you grounded with what your day is really about. Daniel and Steph have such a uniqueness about them that no one else could compare. They have a true talent and I am blessed to have had them be a part of our special day. Thank you again!!
