Studio 41 Photography

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.

I have seen are amazing. I would recommend them to anyone getting married. He is so much fun.

and I feel comfortable the entire time. He made us laugh and feel so special. He was great! He was also very very responsive. I called him about 3-6 times two days and the day of our engagement session because it was raining and I was so worried our photos wouldn’t be what I visioned. With that being said, our photos turned out absolutely amazing! He also got them to us so fast and I know some photographers don’t even answer their clients but Steve was great. So beyond excited to work with him more in our future and thankful we found someone with a great sense of humor who made us feel so comfortable.

d to work with. Even with having to deal with Covid, he worked with us and was very accommodating. Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful! Can’t wait for him to create our album to show our friends and family! Thank you Steve so much! We appreciate you and will always recommend you!!

otographer were fantastic people and they really know what they are doing. Also when it came down to the wedding they did an awesome job, of capturing every moment, while also not being in the way. During the dances and everything, you wouldn’t even know they were there. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Steve and Studio 41. Amazing people to work with, amazing work done, and honestly exactly what a couple should be looking for to top off a perfect wedding day. Thank you Steve for making us feel so comfortable, and thanks for being such a great photographer and now friend to us.

your best friend. My fiancé and I booked Studio 41 for our wedding as well as engagement photo session and Steve went above and beyond any expectation I could possibly have even fathomed!!! His end results are A DREAM!! Like literally a fairy tale dream!!! If you do one thing for your wedding, it’s booking Studio 41.... do yourself a favor and treat yourself to his work!! You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WHATSOEVER!!! Thank you again Steve and we are looking forward to all the endless possibilities and great times with you!! Elisa Viviano & Shawn Waterman

ng. We can’t even pick our favorites because we love every single photo so much! Steve is truly an artist. Not only is he incredible at what he does, but he has a great sense of humor that makes the whole process fun! He’s willing to go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. We ended up having a very windy day for our engagement photos, causing us to relocate. Steve gave us extra time to make sure we got the beautiful photos we wanted. Steve was by far my favorite wedding vendor to work with, do yourself a favor and book him!

ays perfectly! He made our wedding day so stress free and fun for us and our bridal party. There isn’t one picture he shot that we don’t love. If you’re looking for the BEST professional wedding photographer around, Steve is your guy! His experience shows in every photo. We can’t wait to work with him again in the future!

ted required a lot of coordination. Steve made the entire process SO stress-free and put so much effort into planning the perfect schedule to capture everything we wanted. We got married in the fall and were adamant on getting outdoor "fall" pictures but it ended up raining pretty much the entire day. Steve had a backup plan ready to go and ended up figuring out the most incredible indoor setting AND somehow found 20 minutes where the rain stopped to get my husband and I outside for the most unbelievable fall backdrop. I still don't know how he was able to coordinate that so perfectly given the timeline of the day and I am so thankful. I don't think Steve and his team took one break from 9am-11pm - they were such amazing energy to have around which is so important on your wedding day. I have also been so incredibly impressed with how helpful Steve has been since the wedding - helping me create the perfect album, met with my mom for 2 hours to create hers, and always responds right away. I am extremely particular with pictures and spent over a year trying to narrow them down because there are so many good ones and Steve has been BEYOND patient with my million requests. I don't write reviews often, but I am seriously so happy I chose this incredible team for my wedding day. They were there for me throughout all of the planning, and everything after. I am so grateful. Thank you Steve & team!

tween two people starting there life together. You definitely won’t be disappointed let Steve be the first one to capture your first I DO, First KISS, and mostly your first dance as Mr & Mrs. Thank you!

Our family couldn’t stop raving about how our pictures came out and about the entire experience with him in general. He helped facilitate a surprise groomsmen cake for my husband and really helped voicing what I wanted during the reception. He’s definitely WAY more than just a photographer; he honestly, felt like family! We love Steve and will definitely be seeking him for of our future photo needs!

e again next year!

py with the way my photos came out! I have received endless compliments on how beautiful they are. Steve was so easy and welcoming to work with from our first meeting, to engagement photos, the wedding day, and keeping in touch afterwards with the final results. Btw, I could not believe how quick we received our engagement and wedding photos back. The Studio41 crew made my husband and I, as well as our family and friends extremely comfortable on our big day and I am so thankful for that. I will always recommend this crew to capture any important event life brings!

ur day is going to be everything you dreamed. But you rely on all your vendors to do the job they were hired to do. And although no one is perfect , I have to say that Studio41 - Steve and his brother were by far one of the most perfect things about our wedding day! I did not worry once about the kind of job Steve would do or if we would be on time, or if we would capture the right moments. He went above and beyond to make me feel at ease, which as you know for a bride that means EVERYTHING. He provided us with memories we will cherish forever, from the small details to the bigger details and every emotion in between. He captured it all so well. I received many compliments from friends and family about our photographers and how great they were the day of. They interacted with our guests making it a fun and positive experience for all. Hoping I get the chance to work with Studio41 again in the future.

ent with us. I am convinced Steve doesn't sleep because he was sending me sneak peaks of the engagement session shortly after we had beed with him for 6 hours. Steve made sure before the wedding to go through my timeline SEVERAL times to ensure we would get the pictures we wanted. The entire experience could not have been better and I am so happy to have found Studio 41 to shoot my wedding. The entire crew was so energetic and they are saints for dealing with LARGE bridal parties. Studio 41 is worth every penny and they will make sure you have an unforgettable experience. I look forward to being able to work with them in the future.

o comfortable and did our engagement photos as well. I could really tell him what we wanted and what I envisioned and he captured it all. Steve was so honest and real through the whole process and made it so easy for us. I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend any newly wed to his team. Thank for capturing our best memories to look back on for years to come!

l the worries away. Add to that the beautiful pictures!!! Everything from their kind and familiar presence to their exceptional deliverables ! It was the best experience anyone could have! Thank you Steve! We couldn’t have chosen better....

s how lucky we are to have had Studio 41 and their talent during our big day. The team made the entire day from start to finish fun and exciting, and their love for their work is very palpable. When budgeting for a wedding and looking for a team to capture the moments that will fly by it is so important to know with confidence who you’ve selected, Studio 41 will never make you question your decision. Brides, if your future husband is a bit of a challenge (smiles like Chandler from Friends when a camera is pointed at him) please look no further. Steve, Sam & the rest of the team were absolutely hilarious, and made my now husband laugh and genuinely smile throughout the entire day... a gift that I will never forget. Thank you to Studio 41, Steve, Sam, Fadi, Joe and Moe for your work and commitment, if I could give 10 stars I would!

others. When we first met Steve, he was professional, efficient and friendly; we felt like we had met up with an old friend. Him and his brother, Sam, have a great sense of humor and made us feel like we were stars, by directing enough to get the perfect photo whilst not saying too much. Steve patiently directed our families, friends and wedding guests in order to capture the perfect shots with our loved ones. Studio41 – Steve and Sam – Thank you so much for all your hard work throughout the whole process. We are absolutely speechless with everything you were able to capture on our special day and our photos will be cherished forever!

r, Steve makes you feel like family! He helps you make sure you’re taking the most gorgeous photo! And he always nails it! We’re OBSESSED with our engagement and wedding photos! AND we got our photos so quickly..it was insane!! From our engagement shoot (where he traveled to Massachusetts) to our wedding, we had an absolute blast with him! They’re so fun and have you smiling and laughing constantly! Plus, his passion for his work truly shows in his photos and unwillingness to accept anything but perfection. We could not recommend him and the crew more! It’ll be the best decision you ever make..next to saying I do!

To me pictures are everything and at the end of the day that’s all you have left to look back on. Steve made us feel so comfortable and captured the most amazing pictures ever, at least the few he let me take a peak at. Sam is also great, He had everyone laughing and entertained the whole time. Keep up the amazing work!!

h an easy day and we got the best pictures. He is VERY good at getting your pictures back in a timely manner. My friends and family were shocked at how quick we received them! I wish I could give him a higher rating because he deserves more than 5 stars. Thank you Steve. I’m still crying over how beautiful my pictures are :)

se to not have a videographer for the wedding day, and that is a decision that I could see regretting if it had not been for Steve. He captured every expression, moment, and memory from this day for us. We cannot thank you enough, Steve!

literally insane, so clear and beautiful. When my husband and I met Steve for the first time it was like we already knew each other. Steve is so personable, talented and a genuine good guy. I felt comfortable and very excited to move forward with having him and his team be a part of my wedding day. Hands down the best decision I ever made!! He worked with our schedules, explained everything thoroughly and very trustworthy. Steves work is just amazing there are really no words to even describe his photography, it’s just stunning. We had SO much fun at our engagement session and the Wedding was even better. You will NOT regret having Steve and his team a part of your big day. I get sooooo many compliments on my photos! Thank you so much Studio41 for being the best photography company out there.

oofs for our engagement shoot and wedding day just a week or two right after!! My bridal party was also amazed at how many pics he snapped of us and how fun and exciting he was throughout the long day! He was amazing and super fun to be around. My parents also enjoyed having Steve be apart of our special day as well! We can’t wait to see him and his crew again at our friends weddings! Best team ever!! We love studio41!!! Ryan & Meena

was BEYOND beautiful - I am so obsessed with our wedding photos I don't even know where to begin. Our videographer was just down right incredible. He completed our wedding trailer at our reception and I have not stopped watching it since. Just blown away. I would recommended Studio 41 everyday. Thank you again Steve for everything! I couldn't imagine having anyone else capture our special day! You're the best!

nt above and beyond to make sure ever necessary photo was captured and remained very professional and respectful when site rules changed. There was never a moment of “what next” ; everything moved smoothly and taking the time to take pictures didn’t take away from being engaged in the party. Absolutely obsessed with the results!

onalism made taking photos with the family and bridal party fun! He was able to capture the moments most important to her but not be in the way of guests or drawing attention to himself! He even helped my mom and I try to figure out how to bustle my sisters dress! Since then, I have had Steve do my sons one year photos, my daughters newborn photos, her one year photos and my in-laws have used him for Christmas photos! He has almost become part of the family. As you can imagine, taking pictures of two toddlers is not always easy and Steve has made getting the photos done so much less stressful and just goes with the flow of what the kids are willing to do. With his lighthearted personality the kids are able to relax with a stranger and camera equipment around. With him as the photographer we don’t have photos of them just staring at the camera! The photos he has taken of the kids show their personalities: laughing, smiling, popping bubbles, my daughters sweet personality and my sons go getter/love to laugh personality are captured in his photos! Basically, the Kodak moments you wish you can remember forever are now possible because he is able to capture that in his photos and I’ll cherish them forever! Even though Steve mainly photographs engagement pictures and wedding there is no doubt he is talented in capturing family photos!

better! He brings out all of your best features and nails every photo. His vision is different compared to other photographers. Steve is on a whole different level. When looking at the pictures it has a story to tell. I couldn’t be any happier with our photos from Steve. His work speaks for itself. Everyone was amazed by our photos I cannot thank Steve enough! It’s worth the experience after your event all you end up keeping are your photos so make sure you book Studio41 for your next event definitely worth every penny!

t important elements of a wedding and if anything needed to be perfect for our big day, it was the work of our photographers/videographers. I spent months searching for perfection and met with MANY photographers throughout Michigan. Although others were good, it wasn’t until stepping foot into Steve’s office and being surrounded by examples of his work on the walls that I was COMPLETELY blown away. If that wasn’t enough, two minutes into my conversation with Steve, I realized his personality was just as amazing as his work. It was evident right away how passionate he is for his craft and how seriously he takes the importance of such a huge event in couples’ lives. He took the time to get to know both my husband and I, was available to chat about any questions we had, and always checked up on us throughout the 2 year planning process. Being the most indecisive bride on the planet and always second-guessing my decisions throughout wedding planning, booking Steve and his team for our wedding day was the EASIEST and most sound decision I had made (besides saying yes to my husband when he proposed!!!). In fact, I booked Steve first and decided on my wedding date and wedding venue based on his availability. Yes...he is THAT GOOD. It did not come as a surprise that Steve was a joy to work with for both our engagement photoshoot and the big day. He was able to ease any tension I had throughout the hectic day and made it so easy to smile and laugh in all of our pictures. Also... if you’re looking for a photographer who cares for detail... LOOK NO FURTHER. When Steve corrected my uncentered ring and necklace clasp before taking photos, I knew I did right. We had wedding guests calling us for weeks after the wedding to rave about how beautifully the photographs turned out and to get Studio41's information for their own events. The photographs were PERFECTION, just as I knew they would be. We can’t thank Steve and his talented team for everything they’ve done for our big day and we can't wait to work with them again for any and every special event in our future!!!

eking him out whenever we ever want professional photos taken again! He was wonderful to work with and is so personable & knowledgeable. We really had no idea about the timing for the wedding day, but he met with us to help plan it and everything turned out perfectly. He brought us to laughter time and time again, made us feel so comfortable, and made each session fun!! He truly captured our love perfectly, and we feel so lucky that we were able to have the experience we did with him and his team. We will go through those thousands of beautiful wedding pictures for the rest of our lives. You can’t go wrong with Studio41!

arty! There wasn’t ever a moment that we didn’t have smiles on our faces with this crew. Our pictures turned out absolutely STUNNING. I have never had so many people reach out and comment about such outstanding work. My sisters photos could not have came out anymore stunning and I already know that Steve will be at my wedding with such amazing work! Thank you Steve and your crew! We are so happy and honored to have you guys as our photographers!

azing and they came back so fast. As a person, Steve is incredibly friendly and made me feel entirely comfortable in front of the camera, while also being aware of the fact we were on a schedule all day long. I was so impressed and I highly recommend Studio 41 Photography.

m and it shows in every photo that is captured! They took the time to understand us so they could take photos that expressed who we were as a couple, which made the whole process effortless and enjoyable! For those couples who are planning a wedding, Studio 41 should be your first choice! You will not regret it and that’s a promise!

heir wedding and the moment I saw their work I told my then fiancee as long as the hall the church and Steve was available we could choose the date! Steve and his team are truly are there for your every need that day and go above and beyond to make it special for you! Steve is so humble, creative, and personable. He even took the time out the week of the wedding to see how I was holding up, he brings that same attitude on your big day, and is truly on your team. I can't thank or praise studio41 enough for everything they've done for us, and we can't wait to use them for future family events!

ded Steve to be our photographer. Steve coordinated the entire engagement session and wedding day for us and made us feel completely comfortable! He is so kind, patient and such a CREATIVE photographer! He is always ready to try something new and make your wedding photos BEYOND anything you could ever have imagined! Thank you so much Steve!!!!

that Steve was just as amazing. We felt so comfortable while shooting our engagement session and laughed endlessly and he had hundreds of photos sent to us within 24 hours. Fast forward to our wedding day and once again the energy was contagious and made taking pictures so much fun. There is no doubt in our mind that we picked the perfect photographer. I would recommend Steve and Studio 41 photography 1000% if you want absolutely beautiful pictures while having a good time!

cellent! He made sure he captured our pictures from many angles and he was also very creative. During the first look, I was freezing and Fadi carried around a portable heater to keep me warm! Steve and Fadi also drove us to our first look! We are so grateful for their talent and dedication! Our pictures are something we will cherish forever.

aking with other photographers and getting quotes, I continued to go back to Studio 41, as no one compared. When I met Steve the rest was history. Steve and his photographers make you feel like family. They make the entire process of photography from quotes to planning to the day of to receiving your photos an easy and fun process. He was always available by phone, text, or email. Not only did my photos come out better than expected- but they didn't take long at all! I could go on and on about how amazing Studio 41 is, but once you see their work and meet the team, you will know for yourself. I recommend Steve and the entire team for anything you may need. I definitely met a lifelong friend and photographer through Studio 41, and look forward to them photographing our special life events for many years to come!! Thank you so so so so much! We love you!! <3 JT and Stefanie

was Very Confident! After stalking every website and Instagram page I could find it became clear that no other photographer would even compare to Studio 41. My wedding was scheduled for November 2018, I met Steve in January. From January until well into December Steve and I were in Constant contact. I spoke to him more than my coordinator, more than my florist and some days more than my, then, fiancé! He was absolutely with me every step of the way. He created a time table for me and a complete schedule for the day of (literally - from 6am to 2am) to ensure we got every second of our special day captured! He was, without a doubt, more helpful than anyone else and truly took so much stress off of me. If that’s not enough...HIS WORK IS FLAWLESS. Steve has the ability to make you feel comfortable and confident posing like a model -something I was very uncomfortable with to start. The quality, lighting and beauty shines through in every single photo he takes. Side note: trust the poses he suggests..it turns out amazing, even if it feels strange 😉 My wedding was originally booked to be held in Michigan and then was rerouted to San Diego. But that was no issue for Steve, in fact, he was happy to have a change of scenery and more thrilled than I was about the chance to photograph a wedding all the way in California. Steve and his crew came along for the ride, making it feel seamless and delivered better than anyone else. There’s no one else I would’ve trusted moments like this with! Need more...turnaround time! I got nearly 800 engagement sessions pictures back in 2 DAYS and nearly 7,000 wedding day pictures in 2 WEEKS!! And YES, they were edited and looking absolutely amazing! I even obtained my prints just days after my final submittals to Steve. Lastly, he is a truly nice, gifted person looking to make you and your day his priority. He understands the stress and excitement and makes it a personal goal to treat every event with 100% of his attention. No call or text ever went unanswered! Giving me even more confidence. Everything wedding related can be expensive and stressful but this is one choice that will quickly pay for itself and relieve more wedding day stress than you would expect from a photographer. These events are once in a lifetime and should be captured by someone who understands that and truly cares. Steve and his crew at Studio 41 will feel like family and show just how much they all care from the minute you book -in some cases even before- until long after your big day. I don’t just recommend Studio 41...I see no other option! He works with an incredible videographer too! Keep this in mind!! My mom, sisters, cousins and in-laws have been recommending him from MI to CA! His work speaks volumes and is beyond impressive and praise worthy! Good luck if you book elsewhere -seriously. A 2018 bride👰🏻 -Amber

above and beyond to make sure Anthony and I were happy throughout the whole process. In fact, I think my husband has a bromance with Steve but it’s fine. :) People have been asking me constantly (honestly not kidding) who took our engagement and wedding pictures and I will recommend studio 41 any day! During our engagement photo session, the last 20 minutes it started down pouring with hurricane winds but Steve had an idea that he wanted to try so Anthony and I trucked it out in the absolute pouring rain and full on storm to take one last picture. This picture ended up being our signature shot that everyone still can’t stop talking about. They are the best of the best and we can’t wait to schedule more sessions with them in the future!! Thank you a million times over to Steve and the team for capturing our dream day more perfectly than I could ever imagine!!

ble. Steve did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. He braved the cold and rain not once but twice for us..and the pictures were worth it! On our wedding day, Sam and Steve were OUTSTANDING. I cannot even describe how helpful they both were and how fun it was to work with them. They both went out of their way to make the day go smooth. Again, the cold and rain did not stop them from doing a great job and getting once in a lifetime shots. We went to downtown Rochester and the pictures in front of the Big Bright Light Show literally take my breath away. Steve and Sam did not leave the wedding until they were sure they got every detail and photo we asked for. They also made our guests laugh and enjoy themselves even more. What other photographers worry about the guests as well as the bride and groom?! I cannot recommend Studio 41 enough. You will be blown away again and again if you decide to work with Studio 41. They got a lot of hype but Steve and Sam ABSOLUTELY live up to it. Incredible work and incredible people. Thank you Steve, Sam and Studio 41!!

, fadi*, and the rest of his crew. they are extremely good at reading their clients and acting accordingly. if youre more down to earth, they are for you. if you are super nervous about your big day, they are for you, if youre no fun at all and dont want to enjoy your wedding day...... they are still for you because they will absolutely turn that around! Im so glad we put everything in their hands. they gave us as much decision making as we wanted, but also took the reigns and took care of sh*t when needed! i would get married all over again just to have another amazing wedding shoot with them. not to mention i looked AMAZING in every single photo - coming from someone who can be insecure about myself in pictures, i am going to hang these pictures all over my house... ALSO you get full rights to your photos, and basically as much or as little as you want as far as prints etc. he was worth every single penny and more. photos and video are all you have to remember the most important day of your life - why choose anyone else??

which helped us so much and helped relieve some of the stress. On the day of my wedding, Steve arrived early and got so many good photos of my family and I as well as the bridesmaids. Steve and Sam and the rest of the Studio 41 staff were awesome on our special day. They made sure we were doing fine the whole day as well as kept us right in time for everything the day entailed. My husband and I are both obsessed with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We recently got our wedding photos and I’ve had many people ask me who my photographer was and my friends who were past brides say they wish they booked Steve for their wedding. We can’t wait to see what our video is like when we get it. I highly recommend Steve and Studio 41 for your bring! My husband and I are hopefully looking forward to using Steve for other life milestones to come! :)

eep us on track throughout the day. You made everything run so smooth and it wouldn't have been the perfect day without you! We are obsessed with our pictures and it is so hard to choose between all of them. (Obviously it's taking us months to pick out our album pictures haha) Your creativity and eye for photography made our memories into pictures we will cherish for years to come! We are so thankful and would highly recommend you to anyone! Thank you again! Matthew & Ashley

and Sam were fun to be around and spend our whole wedding day with. As we share pictures with family, friends, and colleagues people always are amazed with the quality and ask, "wow, who was your photographer?!" Could not recommend enough!

ement photo-shoot session, taking memorable photos at our engagement party and EVERYTHING on the day of our wedding...we are so glad we chose Studio 41 Photography. Steve helped us feel calm, excited, relaxed and composed; and of course made us feel AND look terrific! ALL their work is of the highest quality and done with the utmost professionalism. We continue to be blown away as we get our photos and video back. Thank you so much.

g him for my wedding” and that’s what i did 5 years later! He was that down to earth and that talented that it left an impression on me! I can not THANK YOU enough Steve! For all your hard work and amazing talent! You’re simply remarkable to say the least! I am BEYOND happy with all the photos you took for our engagement shoot and our wedding! You also left such an impression on all of my friends and family, they all said you were such an amazing photographer! They spoke so highly of you and that speaks volume.. only to have met you once, like i did back in 2013! Thank you! I’ll be sure (without a doubt) to refer you to EVERYONE i know! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! -James & Erika Slevany ❤️❤️

y loves what he does. It was such a relief working with Steve and his team as wedding planning is so busy and stressful. Steve made it easy and I would highly recommend his team for any photography needs. Thank you Steve team for doing such a great job!

the back of your closet, you’re going to be left with the amazing memories.... and the photographs to cherish them with. Steve goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes smoothly, and that you are 100% satisfied with the photos he takes. He dedicates his time, energy, and really knows how to take some beautiful pictures! I am IN LOVE with my engagement and wedding photos. They are simply amazing. To top it off, Steve and his partner Sam are both incredibly funny, which makes for amazing candids and helps keep things light and enjoyable. You’ll definitely want this on your big day!!! I’ll forever be thankful and recommend Steve to anyone planning their wedding !

s I was in complete awe! Called him the same day and met with him right away. The moment my husband and I met Steve we knew it was a match made in heaven. He made us feel like we had not a worry in the world on the most important days of our lives. He was very thorough when we consulted without making it feel overwhelming. Steve is the utmost professional, humble, and dedicated photographer I’ve ever met, not to mention phenomenal! I was a huge pain when it came to setting a date for our engagement session (rescheduled more times than I can count, sorry Steve lol) but anytime I reached out to Steve he was nothing but accommodating and never made me feel like I was a bother. First session with Steve was our engagement photos, now let me tell you both of us have no idea what we're doing when it comes to posing but Steve handled us like the expert he is. He made us laugh the whole time and was silly which we really appreciated. Then came the photos and I look at them EVERY SINGLE DAY. Obsessed isn't even the word. Steve took pictures that I never thought were imaginable, he was taking photos from every angle and used scenery that would seem unattractive to most people and made it look like a fairy tale. Next time we worked with Steve was the bridal shower, and that experience was beautiful I mean start to finish he was on a role. BTW if I didn't mention how well Steve and I get along... WELL HE'S LITERALLY THE BEST PERSON EVER. His personality makes him 1000x more than just a photographer and working with him is more enojoyable than I can explain to you! He made fun of me when I needed a good laugh which was some of my favorite parts because he captured genuine smiles! The shower photos turned out unreal, I literally don't have words to describe, it's just something you have to see for yourself! Finally, the wedding day, mind you both sides of the family are obsessed with him so everyone was excited to see him! My husband was SUPER late, but of course Steve stayed on track and made everything work out perfectly, even making it to my house early! I was a nervous wreck but he walked into my house made me feel calm instantly and got to work. From the moment he stepped into my house until the very end of the reception Steve was on point and made my dream come true. He even goes out of his way to make sure I was fed and hydrated, it's nice to know that he cares not just about taking amazing photos but that his clients are feeling good too! I appreciate so much his attention to detail, he has an eye that even "professional photographers" aren't blessed with. He captured the most breath taking photos of our wedding which showed so much passion, joy, and love! He always tells me that tears are his favorite photos to capture and he meant it, even looking at the photos now I cry because you can feel every emotion. I want to mention how incredible his team is, they definitely reflect off of Steve's professionalism and personality which made everything feel natural and run super smooth. I can go on forever about what a dream it was to work with Steve and his team but do yourself the favor and call him! Thank you Steve, for such a beautiful journey and capturing every detail of our love story! You're a blessing!

ant a dedicated, respectful and caring person who has passion behind the lends you definitely want to hire Steve. Steve your talent speaks through your beautiful work. Thank you for your super fast turn around time with the pictures too! Will def be coming back!

y. I knew from then that I wanted to work with them for my special day in the future. Fast forward to June 2018 - without Steve and Sam, our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same! The efficient and thorough communication from the initial inquiries and meetings, to the actual wedding day made us feel completely at ease with our decision for Studio 41 to capture our day. Steve was always on top of making sure my vision as a bride was seen through. He captured every moment and detail that we wanted, plus more than we could’ve imagined! They made sure to keep everything lighthearted with jokes and laughter that made our day go by so smoothly. They were incredible while interacting with both our large families, accommodating each shot and ensuring everyone was happy. Our family kept talking about how amazing Steve and Sam are, how they were so efficient and kind. We look through the pictures and can’t help but be so happy and grateful that we have such beautiful memories to look back on. They truly captured the love and candid moments that are so special. Steve and Sam didn’t feel like average photographers, they felt like family. They are truly an amazing and lovable team who you can trust to capture such an important and special milestone in one’s life. We love you Studio 41!

ere absolutely AMAZED with our pictures- 100 times better than we could ever imagine. Steve and his crew is amazing to work with- always making us/ the wedding party laugh and getting the most candid beautiful shots. He has such a great personality that makes you feel so comfortable (I am very camera shy and he made me feel so calm and comfortable). He is a genius behind the camera and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. All of my friends who saw our photos said how amazing they are and how they want to use Steve when they get married!

es are breathtaking and we are so overwhelmed with happiness. His work is amazing and we are so grateful that him and Sam were able to shoot our wedding. Recommend 100%!!! They truly made our day so special and now we have memories to last a lifetime!

g for when we found Steve and saw his portfolio. When we are working with him, on our engagement photos and wedding, I found him very passionate and dedicated to his work, and is always trying to create the best image with right details. I very much appreciate this attitude. I highly recommend Studio41 for your wedding photos.

a work of art and his style is exactly what I was looking for in a photographer. BEST VENDOR TO WORK WITH BY FAR! Thank you Steve!! :D

e allows himself to actually connect with the people, grow a relationship and enjoy it. On our wedding day my wife and I debated over who would have Steve with them while we got ready. (Of course, my wife won) His whole team was just like him and we had fun with all of them. Our pictures are more than anything I ever expected. Best photographer in MI for sure.

getting us the right shot in so many instances was so apparent. He was there for us through the entire day (and truly - the planning process as well) and we absolutely love our photos. Thank you Studio 41! You are the best. :)

!!! Him and his team are talented, hard working, passionate and dedicated to their profession as well as their customers. Steve is our ultimate favorite. Behind the camera, stands a genuinely good hearted, honest individual who will go far and beyond his job as photographer to help his bride and groom. I remember texting him panicking when my makeup artist cancelled on me prior to my wedding by 1 week. Steve took his time comforting me, re-assured me and told me “Sam, we need your wedding to be prefect and it will”. After the phone call, he sent me a list of all the makeup artists he knew, some of which he called on my behalf (cause I was busy at work), until we found one. If this is an individual who is after monetary gains, Im sure he wont have even bothered to reach out. In addition to his delightful character, he is a truly gifted in what he does. My engagement pictures were gorgeous and I cant even start bragging about my wedding pics…truly BREATHTAKING!!!! This, I believe is not a biased opinion of mine, cause everyone who had viewed our pictures commented on how they appeared like shots from a fairytale. If I had the option to have posted some of my wedding pictures in this review, trust me, I would have just to show you how mind-blowing they were!!! He simply has this magical touch to every shot he captures. I remember, after receiving our wedding pics, texting him apologizing to him for bargaining his price when we first met—he was worth every penny. Besides his phenomenal pictures, Steve will make the whole process seem seamless. He will take the time to sit down with you, explain what he has to offer, work within your budget, provide you with the timeline of the wedding day and take note of all your requests. And the best part, you will be laughing and having fun as he does it all. Studio 41 was hands down the single best decision I made for my big day! CHOOSE THEM!!!!YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!!!! All of these stars and great reviews still do not do him justice. He honestly cannot be recommended highly enough. …At the end of our wedding, my husband and I, walked up to Steve, shook his hands, thanked him for his hard work and asked him to always stay in touch-for now we were not only customers but long term friends (And im sure he will be yours too). Me and mismish cant thank you enough. Thank you. :) …..enough searching, CHOOSE STUDIO 41<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

e we met with him. For both of our engagement sessions, Steve spent so much time making sure that we got exactly what we were looking for. I've seen other people's engagement pictures and none of them even come close to how amazing ours looked. For our wedding day, both him and his brother made the entire day stress free and relaxed. We were having a blast with them the whole time and really had no worries. The most important thing to my wife and I was that we could enjoy our wedding day and not be stressed and they truly made that happen. You're stuck with the photographer all day, from the second you get ready until the end of the night so it's really important that you have someone who not only gets your vision but keeps it lighthearted and fun. And our pictures were ridiculously good. The nice thing about Steve's work is he doesn't do the same thing with everyone's pictures and his work doesn't look like everyone else's work. A lot of wedding photographers do the same cliche stuff, but Steve's work was very unique. Everyone who saw our pictures were shocked at how good they turned out. For the engagement session pictures and the wedding pictures, the turnaround time on our pictures was very fast, which I appreciated. All in all, I recommend Steve without reservation- he's extremely good at what he does, he's honest and has a great personality. You won't go wrong with Steve.

takes unique shots that look as if they were taken out of a magazine. None of that cheesy stuff either. We had some fun pictures, some elegant pictures, some candids. He basically captured every moment and feeling . And on top of that, we laughed the entire time and had so much fun with him. I never once felt self-conscious or nervous or stressed when working with Steve. Even on our wedding day when we were being pushed around, Steve made things very calm and enjoyable for us. The bridesmaids and groomsmen really liked working with him too and even they have started referring him to others! I very highly recommend Steve!!!

nursing school SWORE by you and would not stop talking about how amazing you are, so we figured we would check you out. After only 5 minutes into our conversation with you Kevin and I instantly knew we just had to have you. Not only had we already seen your incredible talent on the walls of your office, and your multiple “The Knot” awards sitting on your desk; but what really truly sold us on signing with you was your passion!! Your love for photography is one that I have never seen before. Hearing you talk about your work and how you make sure to make every photo unique was truly inspiring. We knew instantly that you would do an amazing job for our wedding and you definitely did NOT disappoint! Not once did we ever have to stress or worry about the photos and capturing special moments on our big day. You and Sam were always paying close attention to ensure you got every detail and made sure each picture looked great at the same time! We know our pictures are all going to look AMAZING! Your passion for this industry truly shows through in your work. You were such a pleasure to work with! Choosing you as our photographer was honestly one of the BEST decisions we made for our big day. We cannot thank you enough!!! Love, Crystal & Kevin

your hotel. Steve and his company were truly the best choice we made for Photography. He spent a lot of time truly getting to know us (bride and groom) and what type of pictures that we wanted for our wedding. He wants to make your day and your photos whatever you want them to be. He is truly a creative artist taking unique photos such as capturing Victorian-like pictures through the mirror, double images on the marble floor, using lighting in the Cathedral to capture my wedding bouquet and dress in color and black and white, to having someone hold my train behind me so that it created a bedazzled background, to letting the wind catch my veil outside the Cathedral creating a model-like effect…Steve in the moment is ready to capture raw emotions and purely beautiful photos. Steve knows the location very well and suggested the white stairs at the DIA to capture my Cinderella moment as well. I believe that your wedding is something that you do only once and I am so glad that we choose Steve to do our Photography for photos that will last us a lifetime! By the end of the night, Steve became apart of our family! He makes the bride and groom feel very comfortable so that no matter what happens on your wedding day, rain or shine or family drama, the bride and groom are laughing and smiling through it all. I would highly recommend Steve to capture your own fairytale moment…and we will definitely be back when we have children of our own to capture their infant years and family photos!!

id not disappoint. Steve is so creative and captured everything I envisioned for my dream winter wedding. They are both so fun and make everyone feel so relaxed the day of the wedding. Steve makes sure everything runs smoothly and is on time. It was honestly the best day ever and I am so glad Steve was able to capture all the moments. You will not be disappointed by choosing Studio 41 as your photographer, they are honestly the best around and your photos will turn out amazing! We can't thank them enough!

g fun while capturing all of our special moments. We even had guests tell us how much they enjoyed meeting our photographers and laughing with them. Working with Studio 41 was such a pleasure and our photos are BREATHTAKING! It is taking me forever to pick photos for my album because there are too many good ones! Would HIGHLY recommend.

chilly, Steve, Sam, and Brad helped lift our spirits and make our wedding day an unforgettable experience! The photography is the most exquisite and breathtaking images that we have ever seen! They truly have a special talent that cannot be duplicated! Not only is the photography stunning, but Steve and the gang had the best sense of humor and personalities that helped us and our wedding party feel confident and kept us laughing! We truly could not thank them enough for everything that they have done for us throughout our wedding process! We will definitely be keeping in touch with Studio 41 photography and will be hiring them to photograph future events and milestones in our growing family's lives! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! You guys rock!!!!!

picked, we had to plan it around a weekend when Studio 41 had availability, because I knew I didn’t want any other photographers, and I am SO glad we hired them!! Steve did our engagement photos, and while he himself was already booked on our wedding day, his two team members Waddie and Alvyn, were able to do our wedding. All three of them were WONDERFUL! They are goofy and silly, and made us laugh to get wonderful candid pictures of us that look real rather than posed. Their passion for their job shows through in every second of the photo sessions. I have never seen such excitement as when Steve saw the way the sunlight was hitting a willow tree (once I saw the pictures, I understood exactly why he was so excited about it!!). They all truly have a gift, and something that looks ordinary to me, somehow ends up magical in their photos. Steve was also always available to talk over text/phone/in-person to make sure that any questions I had were answered, or to touch base and make sure I was 100% satisfied with their work. I could go on and on and on about how wonderful they are, from their easy-going personalities, to the ease of communication, to the quality of the finished product. I could not recommend them any higher!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

aughing the whole day. We also used Studio 41 for our videography and the crew that came along with that were awesome as well! Not only did Steve make it fun for us, you could tell he has such a passion for what he does. It's truly incredible how he can bring his and his clients visions to life in such a creative way.I would recommend Studio 41 to anyone and everyone. Worth every penny! Thank you Steve and the whole crew for making our day that much more amazing!

him for our wedding photos. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and we are SO happy with our photos! We had a blast and felt so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and & I recommend him 110%, and will continue to use his services for the other big milestones in our lives as husband and wife! You will not be disappointed! Steve thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts!

ughing the whole day. I can't wait to see the album and finished products :) Steve also shot our engagement sessions and the pictures turned out fantastic! We love Studio 41 and HIGHLY recommend them!

big day, and I HIGHLY recommend every couple to do the same.. you definitely will NOT be disappointed. I have nothing but amazing things to say about them. The whole bridal party fell in love with Steve and his crew and just loved their personalities and sense of humor. Besides the fact that they are amazing individuals to be around, the pictures they produce are even more amazing. Once again, we are very happy that we had Studio 41 shoot and film our wedding, and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way! YOU GUYS ROCK!

hey really spoke for themselves. I immediately called Steve and I was instantly sold. Not only were his photographs incredible, but he was so easy to talk to and knew exactly what we wanted. We booked with Studio 41 before even meeting in person. I cannot even describe how happy we are that we chose Studio 41 to capture our day. I was nervous about having someone follow me around all day taking my picture, but we felt like Steve and Sam were one of the group! Our bridal party and families loved working with them and they truly made our day so enjoyable. They captured all of our special moments. Steven and Sam both really go out of their way to make sure your pictures are incredible. Steve has an absolute gift in his ability to capture perfect photos. When he sent us our finished pictures, I was completely blown away. I felt the pictures really filled us in on all the little things about our day that we missed. There isn't a single picture we didn't like! I cannot recommend the Studio 41 team enough! I believe that choosing the photographer for your wedding is the most important decision throughout the process, and we are so happy we chose Studio 41!
