    Totally wonderful

    Super easy going and fun to be around. My husband and I hadn’t done any professional photos until meeting Sonia and Stephen for our engagement and wedding shoot, and we were nervous! They had us comfortable in seconds! We love our photos so much and we also plan on booking with them again in the future!

    Excellent Wedding Photographers!

    About The Day photography was great to work with! Sonia and Stephen really captured our wedding day beautifully, I couldn’t recommend them more! Our wedding photos turned out better than I could’ve imagined 😍

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    Hiring About the Day was one of the first decisions we made for our wedding and it was easily one of the best. From our first interaction we sensed Stephen and Sonia would be great to work with and we were absolutely right. To kick things off we did an engagement shoot with them and we were blown away by the photos we got back. Not only were they objectively beautiful photos but they really captured who we are as a couple. One of the great things about working with Stephen and Sonia is that you've got two people keeping an eye out for great shots, helping to set up the other person's shots, etc. - while we expected there would be value in having a team rather than a solo photographer we didn't fully understand that value until we saw them in action. Fast forward many months after the engagement shoot to late spring 2020, when the realities of COVID-19 started to settle in and we realized we'd have to scrap all our wedding plans and transition to a live-streamed elopement ceremony. Not only were Stephen & Sonia on board to roll with the change they were genuinely really excited about all the opportunities a smaller event would provide for great photos - at a tough moment for us, this enthusiasm provided encouragement for us to keep looking for the silver linings. This would come to be true again when our late June wedding turned out to be a cold, rainy, cloudy day (during which we planned to be outside for nearly eight hours). Stephen and Sonia thought this forecast was amazing and would yield incredible photos, which again gave us something to look forward to in the midst of being really disappointed that we weren't going to have the weather we'd hoped for. In the end, they couldn't have been more right - the photos from our day are absolutely stunning, in large part because of the side effects of the weather (no shadows to contend with, incredibly green foliage due to being wet, etc.). They also agreed pretty last minute to add on a video package so we could capture more of the day to share with family and friends and we absolutely love the final product. If you choose to work with Stephen and Sonia you'll obviously get gorgeous photos and video because they're incredibly talented; what you'll also get are two people who absolutely love what they do and bring that enthusiasm and creativity to every shot, which makes them really fun people to spend time with. We highly recommend About the Day!

    Dreamlike and Stunning Photography

    This may sound a little extreme, but I mean it when I say, booking About The Day photography for my wedding day was the best decision about the day that I made. :) Okay, I guess picking the guy I married was the best decision, right, but having Stephen and Sonia there to document the most important day of my life still remains paramount. My best friend and her sister both booked About The Day for each of their weddings and after drooling over those gorgeous photos, I knew we needed to follow along. Sonia’s fairytale-style photography translates into a dreamlike memorial of the most important moments of our day, and Stephen’s photos are so dramatic and energetic. It’s an awesome balance they have together. I can actually see and remember the emotion of the exact moments. It is more than a picture. I am an anxious person to some degree, so having such a calming and truly easy going couple present on our big day made a world of a difference. They made both of us feel like movie stars or models; just enjoying the photo session and being caught up in the excitement. Those looking (so hopefully everyone) who wants the most beautiful, perfect, stunning wedding photos that you can imagine, make sure you book About The Day. It will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

    Awe, you guys... This is so, SO sweet! We were honored to be a big part of your day, and knowing how we were able to bring you this extra joy fills just makes our day bright! Thank you as well.

    Wonderful and Exceptional

    We are so thrilled that we discovered About The Day online for our wedding photography. We couldn't believe how amazing our photos turned out and we were blown away by all the details and beauty they were able to capture. They anticipated so much beforehand that we hadn’t even considered and were so helpful and courteous with suggestions. I can't imagine how we could have made it without them doing so much! They also had a really great sense of humor that put our family and friends at ease. The photos were really fun!. We’ll recommend About The Day to everyone we know from now on.

    5 Stars down the line!

    It wasn’t easy choosing our photographers because there are so many, but in the end we were truly blessed to narrow it down to Stephen and Sonia. They were so easy to get along with and be around, that it made our photo time a highlight of our wedding. The pictures are surreal and the process from start to finish was easy and intuitive. They are masterful and it’s hard to do them justice in one little review, but take our word for it, they’re the best!

    We love our wedding photos!

    My apologies for not writing a glowing review earlier. I have been so happy with the pictures that Stephen and Sonia took of our wedding and engagement, (and subsequent maternity soon after). My husband and I absolutely love the work that About The Day did to make our day last a lifetime. They caught so many unbelievable moments and details that were so important, and help us relive our day over and over with happiness and joy.

    Love at first sight!

    Stephen and Sonia are such a great couple, and so very talented too! Gavin and I will be married 2 years in October and everyone that sees our photos are shocked at their beauty. I couldn't have found better photographers, and the fact that we got both of them was a huge bonus. They fit in so nicely with our friends and family and captured the day perfectly! They did our engagement photos and wedding photos and they turned out amazing. We still have people commenting on our photos all the time. I always recommend them to any of my friends getting married and there’s already been three. It's nice to find genuine people who love their work and treat us like family. Thanks Stephen and Sonia for capturing our perfect day!

    About the Day Photography was Amazing

    Stephen and Sonia from About the Day Photography were amazing. They showed up at the hotel in the morning to take pre-wedding photos of the bridal and grooms parties They were creative, fun and flexible. They also took engagement photos so they knew the bride and groom and their personalities prior to the wedding. What I loved most is they sent us a handful of photos 1-2 days after the event. Love the quality and variety of shots.

    It was fate that we found About The Day [Stephen and Sonia] because I don't know how we landed on their website. All I know is once I saw the photographs they took, I was hooked. After meeting with them, I didn't even bother looking any further. Just like meeting my hubby... I just knew! Take my word when I say, "you'd be nuts to not check them out for yourself!"

    5 thumbs up

    I totally fell in love with About The Day's photography from the moment I somehow ended up on their site, and after reading about them, seeing their reviews and testimonials, and finally contacting them, I was sold. The funny thing is, I'm even more impressed after the wedding. I guess I sort of expected them to be helpful, friendly, willing, and gracious to sell their product, but afterwards, they remained the same, if not more-so. A total thumbs up from both my husband and I.

    Masterful Photographers!

    It was no small thing choosing our photographers from so many out there, but in the end we were so blessed to have chosen About The Day. Stephen and Sonia were so easy to be around and made our photo time really a highlight of our day. The pictures are magical and the process from start to finish was easy and intuitive. There's little I can add to our happy review, but see for yourself. They are masterful and the end results are proof.

    A Winning Team

    We worked with Stephen and Sonia for our wedding photography and it was as stress-free as it gets. The two of them worked together seamlessly to capture all of our special request photos as well as all of the shots we didn't ask for but were thrilled with. They were fun and also professional which is often a difficult mix to pull off. We had no prior association with them and originally contacted them because we loved their photography style. Once we met them, we knew that they would be the perfect folks to capture our perfect day.

    Obviously, the amazing photography we saw was our biggest reason for going with Stephen & Sonia, but I think they - themselves - are what made us certain we making the right decision, even when we kind of exceeded our budget. :) Our pics were glorious! They help us a few times over the phone beforehand to understand our choices and scheduling, which was a lifesaver because this is all new and unknown, but they also really understood what we were wanting and worked within our perimeters too. A few of our friends who recently got married we're really unhappy with the photographers they choose, and working with, and watching Stephen & Sonia, you could see they really wished they could go back and use About The Day too. (A few even told me so!) Thank you again for the amazing photos. You are the best.
