The Bearded Shutter

Based in Mantua, OH, The Bearded Shutter is a wedding photography business with a unique story. For Stewart, the whole journey started when he found a pre-loved 35mm camera during his workday as a garbage collector. This is a job he continues to do part-time, however, he found a true passion for photography. Many sentimental moments came to be with that found-by-fate camera. As time passed, life got in the way and this hobby fell to the wayside. It resurfaced when Stewart’s wife requested professional photos of their daughter.

With that camera, Stewart pursued his photography career. Stewart’s main goal is to offer clients photos that truly evoke the feeling of the moment captured.
