I can't say enough about Stephen Orlick. My finace and I are from Illinois, but were visitng Orange County and thought it would be a beautiful back drop to have our engagement photos taken. I connected with Stephen because his portfolio online was stunning. He seemed to have a style that was casual and loving as opposed to posed and cliche. Due to our busy travel schedule we had little time for our photo session, but with Stephen's flexibility and knowledge for the area, we were able to shoot our photos in the time allotted. Stephen had us back in his studio that evening to look over the photos. They were absolutely amazing... there were so many beautiful photos that we really had a hard time picking. (A nice problem to have!) Communication with Stephen across states has been great as he's very responsive to any follow up questions. My finace and I were so thrilled with his work, we've hired Stephen to come shoot our Illinois wedding in August and I can wait to see how they turn out! A good photograher is hard to come by because there are so many people these days with a digital camera in their hands, but it's so worth investing in experience and talent. Thank you, Stephen, for all your work so far and we're looking forward to August.

We live in Atlanta, and planned our wedding for Laguna, CA. Thus we were not able to meet Steve in person prior to the 'big day' - and had to rely on a phone call to decide. Complicating this was the wedding was for 2 guys (been together 30 years) and we did not want to feel awkward if the photographer was not 100% fine with this fact... We wanted just casual shots of the two of us - and were not having the formal shots typically associated with weddings. Steve was amazing and terrific! He was totally professional and made us both feel relaxed and was able to capture some really great shots. He did some amazing shots into the sun and the results were perhaps the best photos we have ever had taken! He is a really great photographer. 100% happy to recommend him.

Extremely impressed! Stephen was helpful, professional, and his pictures of our wedding were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Amazing. Has a great eye for what makes an amazing photograph. I WILL be recommending him to others in the months and years to come! -Thom
