Steve is awesome!

Steve was amazing every step of the way. Clear pricing on services, video meeting upon hire, and kept us informed every step of the way. Steve is incredibly friendly and professional. From the day we chose him for our wedding, he was there for us. He was always prompt and clear answering any questions we had. Our engagement shoot was such a fun experience and Steve made us feel so comfortable. And the photos from our wedding day couldn't have been better. Just finished working on our album with Steve and can't wait to see it! He made us feel like we were his only client because of how involved he was at every step. You won't find a better photographer.

Excellent Experience!

SJA really makes you feel like family. He stays on top of scheduling and works around any hiccups in your everyday life. The process was easy, and very rewarding. We received the photos in record time and they were everything I hoped they could be! 10/10 recommend!
