I cannot say enough good things about Steve, so I'll tell you a story. I found Studio 41 on the knot when planning my September 2020 wedding, and after meeting with a few photographers prior to him, there was no question he was the perfect fit.... I recall walking out to my car after our meeting, calling my now husband who was not with me to meet him, and saying "he's the one let's send him the money" lol. Then, the pandemic struck, and our large September wedding was cancelled. At that, I contacted Steve to let him know we had decided on a destination wedding in Jamaica, which he was fully supportive of, without knowing that I was about to ask him if he would be willing to come along and be our photographer in Jamaica. When I say that I could not imagine this man not photographing all big events in our life, I mean it. Fast forward to planning a destination wedding, Steve truly was there whenever I needed info from him or had a question, his ability to respond quickly if not instantly is second to none. We jumped through hoops planning this, and Steve was there with us basically taking care of whatever obstacle I threw his way. Now for our wedding day. Weddings can be stressful, and sometimes you don't feel 100% with yourself. I was uncomfortable having my photo taken all of my life, but I promise you, you will be completely at ease with Steve. The level of comfort both my husband and myself felt with him from the very first meeting through the wedding day was outstanding. He is just a wholesome, wonderful man, which is hard to find nowadays.
Onto his work. His attention to detail and level of creativity are out of this world. We took photos for hours (because hello it's Jamaica gotta soak up those photo-ops) and he made the entire process fun for both me and my husband. Steve is so incredibly talented at what he does, we've received our photos and there is not one that we don't love. In fact, we have over 800 favorited currently for an album, and this is after six "cut downs." Our wedding was nothing short of a fairytale, and Steve was able to capture that fairytale beyond our expectations and blew not only us, but our family and friends away.
So please, do yourself a favor and invest in Steve and your wedding. If you are looking for the absolute BEST wedding photographer in Michigan, and I'd even go as far to say one of if not the best in the country, book with Studio 41. You will NOT be disappointed in his work or him as a person.
Thank you Steve from the bottom of our hearts for not only being the most amazing photographer, but also for being a confidence booster, personal dress fluffer, and such a joy to work with from start to finish, through all of the bumps in the road. We are so happy to have had you not only as the photographer for our important day, but also to have gained you and your family as friends for life.
