nvestment for your wedding! The photos are UNMATCHED!

beautiful our wedding was, but how it felt. The emotions, the details, our families, and so many little moments we didn’t even realize were happening are all there. Going through our full gallery brought us right back to that day, and even now, more than a year later, the photos still have that same effect. We recently moved into our new home, and some of Stephane’s photographs are now framed on our walls. I think that says everything about his work. These aren’t just beautiful wedding photos sitting in a gallery on our phones. They are memories we love enough to make part of our home and see every single day. Beyond his talent, Stephane made us feel completely comfortable throughout our wedding day. His calm confidence made everything feel natural and effortless, and that truly shows in the photos. He has an incredible eye for capturing the moments that matter without making them feel staged or forced. More than a year later, I’m still just as grateful that Stephane was the person behind the camera on one of the most important days of our lives. His work gave us something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and I would choose him again without hesitation

r discovered his portfolio while searching for a photographer. His work was exquisite, and I knew instantly that we had to have him for our special day. Initially, my husband and I were quite nervous to meet with such a professional photographer. However, we quickly bonded with Stephane. He took the time to get to know us and was open to hearing our vision and plans for the wedding. We discussed his services and package options to best fit our needs, and he was well-prepared to answer any questions we had. Any and all feelings of nervousness we had going into that meeting vanished instantly. We left his place feeling relieved that we had found someone so passionate and transparent about his work. Our engagement session was definitely an adventurous and memorable experience. Since this was our first time taking professional photos, we felt a bit silly at first, however, with Stephane’s experience and guidance, things just fell into place. He took us to several places throughout downtown. Before we knew it, we were at the very top of an old building right before sunset. The view was absolutely gorgeous, and it was a special moment to capture us in the heart of our hometown, El Paso. His attention to detail and unique artistic side truly make him the absolute best! The day of our wedding, we were aware that things would be hectic. However, Stephane had provided us with all the best advice, drawing from his past experiences and offering valuable recommendations. We felt confident that we were in good hands. I still vividly recall the day he sent us the photos. I was overjoyed. One of my cherished visions for our special day was to be photographed in my wedding dress while breastfeeding my nine-month-old baby. I knew that if there was anyone who could capture that unique bond between my daughter and me, it would be Stephane. As expected, he delivered, and reliving those timeless moments through the photographs brought tears to my eyes. Our wedding album holds immense significance for both of us, for obvious reasons, but even more so for our daughter to have and cherish. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephane to anyone seeking a devoted, professional photographer with an undeniable talent! Thank you, Stephane, for being a part of our special day. We are eternally grateful.

!! In fact, our whole wedding date was based on his availability during the month we wanted to get married. Stephane listens so patiently. My husband and I had zero ideas. He was able to listen to us, see how we interacted with one another, during our first meeting. From that, Stephane was able to create beauty! We find ourselves looking at our photo album that is filled with stunning photographs at a high school football stadium. Gorgeous shots in the middle of the street and even on the top of a parking garage! To top it all off, he was able to perfectly capture a sweaty bride and groom, all of our favorite people doing what we do best: drinking and dancing, completely loving life. Huge props to his assistants for being amazing, kind, and so helpful with everything, especially making my veil FLY!!! The heat and humidity of August was not kind to any of us, me, in particular. I was nervous about what I would see in my forever photos. Every time I saw myself in the mirror during the dance, it was a ghastly sight. NONE of that hot mess is evident in our photos (and I am so thankful!!!) Our photos show love, laughter, and everything from our special night! It was hard for us to be everywhere, but Stephane and his assistant were! Photos are forever. We are very blessed and thankful to have and be able to share our beautiful photographs. Thank you Stephane, for giving us everything and more.

now married with our proposal photos as stunning decorations in our new home. Highly recommend Stephane Lemaire Photography!

h our engagement photographer and wedding photographer. From the first meeting, it’s immediately clear that Stephane has the highest level of expertise and professionalism. He truly wants to get to know you as a couple, and that mutual chemistry is on display in every picture. Stephane’s skills made our wedding day truly magical! We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Stephane for everything!

eciated the fact that he spent time with us before we booked him so everyone would feel confident it was a good fit! He put it best - if he’s excited about us and our wedding, the photos will reflect that and same with us - if we’re excited about him photographing our wedding, then we’ll put our best into it! Stephane and his team were just absolutely lovely. He made sure to get the shots we asked for, but also let us have fun on the big day! I’ve seen too many couples throughout the years who get dragged out of fun dancing for photos and he was so mindful to let us have our fun and pull us away only for a second when we weren’t actively doing something! Hiring him was the best decision my husband and I made! I would do everything over in a heartbeat. My mother passed away two months before the wedding and he texted me a sweet message expressing his condolences when he found out and was incredibly respectful when I asked if he could take pictures of us visiting my mother’s grave after the ceremony. If you’re considering hiring him, please do!! You will not regret it! He’s worth every single penny and then some and he will take absolute great care of you and your spouse! My husband is the absolute pickiest guy on the planet and he’s already told Stephane that he’d like him to take our future child’s baby photos! LOL if that’s not enough of a testimony, I’m not sure what is!! Stephane, thank you and your assistant for everything!!! We had an absolute blast and we loved working with you two. We hope to work with you again soon!

her was the most important to us. My husband and I talked about how we wanted to always reflect on our wedding day and see not only the beauty within the photos, but the raw emotions that were captured. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s both modern and timeless. There were some that stood out, but I decided to also search in the El Paso area due to our wedding being held at a venue there. I remember searching and seeing Stephane’s profile as one of the top 10 wedding photographers in El Paso, Texas. I viewed each photographer and when I came across Stephane’s, I immediately showed my husband. It’s cliché to say because I’m sure it’s heard so often, but his photo portfolio was something so special and unique; Something we both had never seen before. You could immediately tell he has such an amazing talent; How the photos were captured, the vibrancy of the colors and details shown. We both knew we wanted to meet with him. Stephane was amazing from the moment we met him. He was very transparent on the process, so polite and such a professional. We loved filling out all the questionnaires he provided. You could just immediately see his attentiveness, attention to detail, guidance and communication was on point. We ended up securing our unforgettable wedding date (Friday the 13th, 2023) with him along with an engagement photo session. Stephane was EXTREMELY detailed to say the least, which we absolutely love. Aside from just naming locations, he always wanted to get to know us deep down. As in, what was the significance of the locations we chose and why… What made us fall in love with each other… What do we find most attractive about one another… as just some of the examples to which he used to capture our raw emotions. We chose the Botanical Gardens located in Phoenix, Arizona as our engagement shoot because of the significance in our relationship behind it. Stephane and his stunning finance, Dulce, were with us the entire day! He even took the initiative to scope out a secondary location that overlooked the city on a gorgeous hiking trail which included so many of our favorite photos! Words cannot describe the type of commitment shown by Stephane. He went above and beyond with his preparation for our engagement photos and truly made us feel so comfortable. We received so many compliments by family and friends of how beautiful our photos turned out. Fast forward to our wedding day… Stephane captured so many iconic images where we both literally jumped out of our seats and screamed when we saw them! He truly was able to capture the whole journey of the day, exposing raw reactions from our first looks to sharing our vows and reception speeches from close family & friends to name a few. We also weren’t expecting so many! So much gratitude and thanks has been given for taking the time to edit and pull together such a huge number of images. The coverage was incredible, and he really captured every moment and every person. So much more than documentation, his photos are full of love, emotion, energy, style, and detail. From of the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Stephane Lemaire Photography!

ography. We are, again, completely blown away. His photography is of course amazing, which is apparent from his portfolio. Beyond the skill with which he practices his art, though, Stephane was also a wonderful person to work with. We first met Stephane via facetime, and one of the first things he did was ask each of us what is our favorite thing about the other. At one point, before our engagement shoot, he sent us each a questionnaire about the other, to gauge what our relationship was like, who we were to one another, and what our energy was like together. He knew exactly how and where to take our photos because he’s a great photographer, but also because he took the time to really get to know us and our relationship. He knew all the best spots where he wanted to take pictures for both our engagement and our wedding, having done copious research and scoped out the locations himself. He excels at catching the little, real moments between people, even during more posed shots. Moreover, Stephane is contagiously passionate about what he does. His devotion to getting the perfect shot, for you, is incredible. When the vast majority of guests had left after our reception, there was Stephane waiting to take a beautiful night shot in the woods with the stars. You cannot find a more devoted photographer. We dealt with a lot of vendors for our wedding, and were so happy that we could trust Stephane completely. Stephane is an absolute artist, and has captured wedding and engagement photos that will not only make us happy to look back to forever, but pieces that we will literally be displaying as art.

unmatched quality. He established a strong rapport right away with us, and communicated his goals, while also listening to us deeply. He flew in for our engagement shoot to Minneapolis, and by the time he had met us had completed comprehensive research and scouting to discover the best possible locations. The day of our engagement shoot was taken over by a huge blizzard that rendered streets impassable. Stephane and his assistant Dulce were not deterred, and still drove us to the chosen spots and encouraged us in the freezing cold to take photographs. Even as my fiancée and I were fading due to tiredness, he kept encouraging us to keep going, resulting in some truly spectacular shots. On our wedding day, again, his professionalism and drive was incomparable—they literally did not rest for one moment as they clicked away capturing every single aspect of our day. He had our photos to us much quicker than anticipated. We were just stunned at how well composed, thoughtful, detail oriented and colorful they were. Every shot appeared to capture the true essence of or day. Some of them are pure works of art. We are not exaggerating when we say that working with Stephane is the best decision you will make on your wedding day--he is a genius.

d Southern California), feeling that all of them seemed bland and typical. When we saw Stephane’s site, we knew right away that we had to have him as our photographer. He is AMAZING - The love and dedication he has for every snap shot can be seen in every photo. He not only made our Engagement photo session and Wedding Day fun, he made it memorable by catching the most precious, emotionally intimate moments. He is not one of those photographers who has a cookie-cutter style for every couple. He understands how each couple is unique, and he exhibits each couple’s personalities in every photo. Stephane is very professional, punctual and very easy-going. He made us feel very comfortable (we were so nervous during the first part of the Engagement photo session), and by the end of our wedding day we felt like stars. He is very accommodating to requests, but we recommend taking his advice and suggestions (Trust us - you will not be disappointed once you see the final product!). Stephane offers a handful of photo packages to choose from. Once we received our prints and saw our own slideshow of photos…we were speechless at how BEAUTIFUL every photo turned out. The colors, the emotions, the slideshow and how he incorporated our music selections…all of it was out of this world. There is no one else we would recommend - If you're looking for someone who will take the time and care to capture your most precious, valuable moments of your wedding day, look no further. Our love and wedding was beautifully captured through the camera lens of Stephane Lemaire. Stephane, thank you so much!
