Steve Stanton Photography

Facebook and instagram and 15 years later he photographed my wedding. I don't have enough words to express my thanks to Steve for his magnificent art. In addition to being a wonderful photographer he is one of the nicest most genuine people you will ever meet. He is excellent at providing direction to those of us who don't know how to model :) and providing exquisite candid and posed photos with that classic epic background that we all know and love Steve for. He is amazing to work with when planning your day. Hire Steve. You will cherish the art he creates for you for the rest of your life. BRB going to wallpaper my entire house in photos now. Thanks Steve!!!!!

our dog join for a few minutes of pictures and Steve was patient while our dog got adjusted and calmed down to ensure everything was very natural looking. Steve is so attentive and listens to your needs to ensure that all pictures that you want are taken and then he incorporates his own creativity to better the shot or to take additional shots. On our wedding day, he made everyone feel comfortable with being themselves and you can really see that in everyone's faces. Several of my bridesmaids, before we even got our pictures back said, "wow! Steve was so awesome! If I ever get married I might have to get his contact information". Now that we have received our pictures back, and my bridesmaids have seen the pictures, they have said "I am DEFINITELY going to have Steve photograph my wedding!" His work is incredible and his personality is infectious. 10/10 and beyond!

napping away. We highly recommend his expertise :)

spot in Evergreen and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, as we have never had professional pictures done together as a couple and it can be a bit intimidating. Steve coaches you along the way and is your hype man! We worked around some crazy weather, but regardless he captured some beautiful shots. Steve brings a laid back, attentive, fun and creative energy to each session leaving you on the edge of your seat to see the end results. And they are absolutely unbelievable. His turnaround time is remarkable with how many photos he takes after editing and delivery. And he sends you a sneak peek the following day, which really builds the excitement! Leading up to the wedding we had a phone call before to go over moments we really wanted him to capture so he understood our vision; planning is key and Steve makes you feel like a priority while encouraging, support and cheering you on in your new marriage. On the wedding day Steve brought a fresh and chill vibe and provided a hands-on experience unlike any other. We are incredibly happy we found Steve and we couldn’t be happier with the end result and a new friend. Thank you again Steve!

thoughtful, and knew how to make everyone laugh. There was never an uncomfortable moment. Every picture felt so natural and easy. His candid shots put me to tears. I wouldn't waste any time trying to find anyone else. I couldn't be more thankful for the work he has done for my family.

ted and what we wanted to skip. And he checked in several times throughout the day to make sure that we were getting the photos we wanted of ourselves and others. He did our engagement shoot as well and we loved the final shots. He was great and i would recommend him to anyone.

e day from the tiny details of our friends and family arriving and hugging each other to actually hiking up a mountain to get amazing nature shots. Steve did the traditional posed family photos as requested by family members and we really wanted artsy/unique/nontraditional/nature photography and he did so amazing! Even when we were eating there was an amazing sunset and he got more of us outside. I am so incredibly happy with our photographs! You won't be disappointed.

r focus. Many photos looked like snapshots at best. A lot of the action photos are out of focus. He pays no attention to what is in the foreground or background in many of his posed photos. We asked him to get 4-5 specific photos that meant a lot to us, and he did one of them and none of the others. He didn't do any of our family photos during the time we had to get photos done, and after the ceremony we had to rush to do them and he didn't get all of them. I don't think he understands depth of field, how to focus when it's not a posed shot, details of the composition, lighting, or how to get thru a basic photo list.

for to follow you around on your wedding day. His work is artful and beautifully captures the emotion, details, and sweet little moments that make your wedding day so special. He has a true passion for what he does, and he's professional and easy to work with from start to finish. He's shot most of my friends' weddings as well, and we're collectively trying to recruit him into our group of friends... he's that awesome.

ures up in the Colorado mountains and they were absolutely stunning. On our wedding day, he captured every single moment and it has been so amazing to relive our special day through his pictures! I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone - best photographer my wife and I could have asked for!

engagement shoot and for our wedding and it was the best choice we made, hands down. As the bride I wanted to make sure that the photographer we chose wasn't someone who would be in my face and making me feel crowded. Steve was fantastic! He never made me or my friends feel crowded or uncomfortable. In fact, he added a very calming and fun vibe to every room he was in. Every single person in our wedding party and friends/ family outside of our wedding party complimented us on how great Steve was. Not only is Steve's personality great to work with, but his photos are incredible. He truly makes the bride and groom the center of his art. We recently received our photographs from our wedding and we cannot stop looking at them. We love them! Steve was very good to work with, he was always responsive, and followed up with us in a timely manner. He made sure that we were happy and was great to our parents as well. I could write all day about how awesome Steve is. If I were to give any brides/ grooms one piece of advice it is to hire Steve!

th our wedding photographer, but you can't not become buddies with someone who is so warm and makes you feel like a million bucks! All the laughs and smiles and tears that show up in his photos are 100% genuine. He has this ability to let you be yourself, which as you will learn when getting married, that is very hard to do in front of a camera! When he found out my (now) husband was into motorcycles, he offered to take a separate photoshoot with us on his very own vintage Ural sidecar moto! It was incredible. We even got to bring our dog and let him ride in the sidecar! Basically, I want Steve to follow us around for the rest of our lives because the moments he (and his amazing wife!) capture are magical. Steve is extremely professional but also extremely friendly, he was prompt and spent more time than we had paid for with us, and his costs are very reasonable (including travel costs!). When you hire him, tell him Mackenzie and Dalton say hi :) Love that guy.

nd looks that felt natural and captured our relationship. Plus he brought whiskey to our engagement shoot, so a huge bonus for that too. We love our album too - truly the product of a professional and an artist. Hire Steve! You won’t regret it.

just a stand-up guy. Throughout the process, we felt as though we became friends with Steve. His personality and joy for life are contagious, and he made it extremely easy for us to feel comfortable. Steve was the perfect addition to our team and helped make our dreams come true. We absolutely recommend Steve Stanton Photography!

ppen, he works off your natural chemistry together as a couple. Steve was very accommodating for both our engagement session and wedding. We were from Califirnia so he worked hard to find the best photo spot that showed Colorado’s true beauty for our engagements. He even faced some rainy weather since we were unable to reschedule! Steve is also so personable. He makes it easy to be yourself and have a good time while taking pictures. We really enjoyed his calming and humorous company for the engagement shoot and the day of our wedding! Steve ensures all photos that are important to you are captured! I really appreciated this as I had several key photos I wanted the day of! Steve is also great at managing chaos with large wedding parties! We had 17 people total! We would give Steve 10 stars if we could! He’s the best at what he does!

unding to make awesome pictures. He is great to work with. During the entire day I could say I saw Steve taking the pictures but never felt awkward or that he was invading our space. He is great capture those raw moments and he LOVES taking pictures of little ones who try to hide from him. Thanks Steve

ne of the kindest people I’ve met. He was able to calm my nerves during the engagement shoot and the wedding, and that’s a feat in itself! Even our wedding guests mentioned how kind Steve was. He loves his job and you can tell. He continued taking photographs beyond the 8 hours that we had paid for! We will definitely be driving to Colorado every couple of years for him to take our family photos. He was more than our photographer, he became our friend. Thank you Steve! You are worth all the money in the world!!

uldn’t have had nicer things to say about him and his work! While we’d love to keep him a secret, it’d be wrong not to gush about how thankful we were to have him as a photographer for our wedding and more life events in the future :)

and his vibrant personality. He and his assistant photographer, Drew, were a great team for our wedding day. I would 110% recommend Steve.

recommendation, he photographed another friend's wedding. When it came down to deciding who would photograph our Brooklyn wedding, we couldn't think of anyone else. He's probably the most positive, friendly guy you will ever meet. On a day that can be super stressful, Steve kept everything positive. The entire bridal party and our families were constantly commenting on how nice, friendly and positive Steve was - and that really really helped. He's a true artist. The photographs are unique and truly to our taste. Well edited and just absolutely beautiful. He has a real eye for great locations to take shots and just WOW. I can't recommend Steve enough times. Not only do we have amazing photos from such a special day, but I truly feel that we have a new friend in Steve. WE LOVE YOU STEVE!!!

agement photos. Everyone loved him at the wedding.

lute true artist he is! I just love his style. He also sure knows how to make his clients feel comfortable in front of the camera as well. Book him you will love the experience and the photos!

g out with Steve.

d a fantastically organic and natural approach to photography! A+!!!!!

and he can make anyone feel comfortable. I am so glad we choose Steve!

hat allows the photography to feel very natural and fun, not forced or posed. He is constantly scanning the environment to find the best shots and his ability to capture beauty & emotion is like magic. We've received so many compliments from our friends and family (both on our photos and about Steve in general because he's that cool) - could not recommend him more!

where we felt comfortable being ourselves, and that’s evident in the photos. The artistic element is not missing either – the photos have a great variety of framing and focus choices and his processing is clean without being heavy-handed. He also included some landscape touches, which give the album a sense of place. Booking was straightforward and helpful. He secured a permit for the Botanic Gardens and had fun thoughts on how to incorporate our stranger-shy dogs into our shoot. He was spot on in his week turnaround for the engagement shoot. I can’t recommend Steve highly enough.

he human experience is so evident in his work. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos! We can't recommend Steve enough. Fantastic.

you won't be disappointed!!

calls before our wedding and could tell from the beginning he would do and amazing job, and he did. His photojournalistic style mixed with classical photography was just the right mix for us. Our winter wedding was set in the snowy mountains of Colorado and we lucked out and got a beautiful sunny day. His use of light and contrast was just awesome and the photos speak for themselves. We would highly recommend Steve to everyone. Thank you again Steve! We couldn't be happier!

nd the cost is extremely reasonable. He is also a lovely person to work with. He always made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Steve to anyone in need of a wedding photographer!

es, Steve is just a great guy and made everything fun and easy. If I could give him even more stars I would! Thanks Steve!!

zing our photos are. He is very, very personable and easy to feel comfortable with! I would, and have, recommend him for all your photo needs. Thanks Steve!

e photojournalism than conventional wedding photography – which was exactly what we had always wanted but assumed didn’t exist in today’s wedding industry. Until we discovered Steve. We couldn’t be happier with the photographs he produced for our wedding. It’s been about a month since he finished putting together our online albums, and like most newlyweds, we have looked through all the photos countless times. Yet every time we find something new to admire. Steve didn’t just produce gorgeous photographs – he brought to life the story of our wedding weekend, chronicling the most meaningful moments, large and small, and capturing all of the love and emotion of everyone involved. But here’s what’s so special about Steve: he’s more than just a brilliant photographer – he’s an exceptional human being. He is kind and genuine, charming and witty, joyful and full of life. For him, photography isn’t a job, it’s a passion. He loves it because he loves people. And you learn all of this pretty much the moment you meet him. For us, that moment came during a phone call before we had even asked him to photograph our wedding. We figured that we would ask the questions and he would provide the answers (about his pricing, availability, style, etc.), but we were surprised and impressed when he started asking questions of us – about our relationship history and families, our jobs and interests. It was clear that he didn’t think of us as just potential clients, but as two human beings who he wanted to get to know on a personal level. The human connection that Steve forms with the people he photographs is what makes him so good at his job. Marta and I usually don’t like posing for photographs, but with Steve behind the camera, we always felt comfortable and relaxed, even from the beginning of our engagement photo session. All of our friends and family members at the wedding said the exact same thing. Even before they had seen the photographs, everyone was raving about what a pleasure it was to be around – and to be photographed – by Steve. Whenever we think about our wedding weekend, we think of Steve – his calming presence that put everyone at ease and his exuberant personality that put a smile on everyone’s face, his uncanny ability to seemingly be everywhere and nowhere all at once, and the ease with which he adapted to the sometimes unpredictable flow of the ceremony and reception, always managing to be at the right place at the right time. Steve Stanton is a rare talent – a true master of his craft. And we feel incredibly blessed that he chose to share his prodigious gifts with us and our family.

tly to make me happy, and they hit it off great! They started talking about Moab and Jeeping and we ended up having our engagement pictures in Moab! And I must say that I have not seen any engagement pictures better than ours, but I may be biased. Steve did not disappoint on the actual wedding day either. My make up artist was an hour and half late and it was raining, but i had no fears about how our photos were going to turn out. I knew that Steve would love the lighting and the pictures turned out amazing! My husband and I are from Ohio so all the relatives that were not able to come still felt like they were there through Steve's pictures! We will be using him again for future photo needs and I recommend him to everyone. Seriously there is no one better.

be a beautiful human being as well! He brings such a great energy, joy, and love to what he does and it shows!

aptures amazing photos-a true artist and professional.

away he makes you feel like you are family. So kind and thoughtful, he really cares about you and did a wonderful job of making us feel relaxed. The wedding day was like a well-oiled machine! He made it look effortless with all the maneuvering and organizing of all of the family and parents. He was so enthusiastic, sweet, innovative and respectful and went to the ends of the earth for us - it was jaw-dropping magic. To say our pictures are amazing would be the understatement of a lifetime. He captured every moment, every detail, every emotion and candidly caught every person’s love and support that day. Our only regret is that my husband and I didn’t have an endless amount of time to take photos with him – but we had the rest of our wedding to get back to! We got all our pictures from the wedding less than a MONTH after! We LOVE Steve and would absolutely without hesitation recommend him to everyone! His work is worth every penny and then some. He truly captured the emotion and fun of our day. We were able to enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience and now have all the award-worthy memories to view!

the moments of the day, which was exactly what we wanted. He charged a bit more than the other photographers we interviewed, but you get what you pay for and he was worth it and more.

ikes to tell a story with his photography and captures the great love, happiness and excitement of the day. Just viewing his portfolio will wow you. The best part about Steve is that you are certain that you'll be treated with a great service that will reflect you and yours special day; just as you'd like it remembered. He is all about you! Also, Steve has begun working with his friend Tim Twinem who does amazing videography. You don't get the old-fashioned wedding video with this guy. Tim will make you a movie (not video) of your wedding day! I, my husband, and family could not have been happier working with these two fun, laid back, professionals.
