He was fast and knew what he was doing. I've been to so many weddings where pics take hours and you don't get many good ones. All 200+ pictures were great and he did it so quickly. We were able to get back to our wedding and out of the heat and we still have amazing pictures. We are so happy we had Sterling on our special day. Couldn't be happier with my pictures!!

cé and I feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to give us direction to look our best. He and his team were very organized and even relaxing to be around. He is full of energy but so calm and confident. It shows because his photos were absolutely gorgeous! We are very pleased with the overall experience and the outcome of the photos! He is also very reasonably priced and, in my opinion, could be charging much much more for the quality of his work. Thank you Sterling!!!

Sterling was amazing to work with! He was very funny and was able to even get my father-in-law to smile which is a big deal. I have so many pictures to choose from. I only wish ...
I had researched more photographs that I wanted ahead of time but that's of course my fault. Sterling asked if there was anything in particular I wanted but again I didn't really have time to research before my wedding. We did usual photos which all turned out lovely. He did a fantastic job without ever getting in the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
My wedding was 1-7-13.... asked them for my pictures a couple months ago. Never got back to me. UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!
Sterling is wonderful to work with. We found him through Weddings Inc and received a "deal" with price so I'm not sure we saw his full potential. I would recommend him to a friend...

day that I had hoped for. We love the he does some formal photos, but then disappears into the background, capturing the fun and natural action shots of the party. We couldn't be happier with our photos. Now the tough part is picking which ones we want to print in larger sizes, there ar so many that are great!

The photographer couldn't have been nicer. He had to work with a crappy situation. However, he only brought one lens and didn't get one of the shots I was hoping for. I had to c...
all the company several times to get my pictures a month after the wedding. Once they were sent, they shoved all of them in the box and some of them were bent! Going through some of them, they were blurry and he missed some shots we were hoping to get. We do have some wonderful shots, but I had much higher hopes. I especially thought I could get all the pictures back without bends.
Photos came out amazing!
