About
    We offer affordable quality digital images and video to preserve your special day forever.   Tampa to Vero Beach from December to April,  NW Ohio the rest of the year are our venues. Our husband and wife team has photographed over 65 weddings at venues large and small, formal and casual, in Toledo and smaller towns of Northwestern Ohio since 2003. We are currently expanding our business to the Tampa and Vero Beach, FL areas from December through April.  Our package includes a free 100 picture engagement shoot, attendance at the rehearsal, and full wedding day availability, providing every opportunity for beautiful formal portraits and meaningful candid shots.  We videotape the entire ceremony and all the highlights of the reception.  Our final products include CDs containing 400-600  full size, high quality photographs with shared copyrights, 20 8x10 full color prints, and DVDs containing a 300 picture slide show along with the video of the ceremony and reception All our products may be copied by you.  The CDs are usually ready for pickup one week after the wedding, and all subsequent products are promptly completed.
    Three things make Stephen Peterson Photography distinctive.  First, we strive to get to know the bride and groom before the wedding day.  We learn their likes & dislikes for pictures, and work with them to fulfill their expectations.  This results in photos of relaxed, happy couples and bridal parties.  Second, we bring a flat screen video monitor to the reception, and display a continuous slideshow of photos taken during the ceremony, providing an opportunity for guests and the bridal party to view and enjoy.  Third, we are careful to remain unobtrusive throughout the ceremony and during the reception, so that the focus remains on the bride and groom.

Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
As you can see in my portfolio, I have experience with all lighting situations and I specialize in sunburst shots. I enjoy pushing the envelope in trying pictures in too much/too little light. We do not use external illumination with our video camera. What your guests see is what we get.

Both our still photography and video are digital. All images are produced full sized & full quality on CD's. The slide show & video is produced on a DVD.
