Pleasure to work with!

Stephen and his wife, Heather, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were extremely friendly and made the entire process very comfortable. They were flexible with what pictures we wanted and even took pictures I would have never thought of! We cannot wait to get our final pictures!

Amazing from start to finish!

When I started searching for photographers in northern Virginia for our June 2019 wedding, I was immediately overwhelmed by how expensive they all were. I'm not sure how, but I came across Steve and sent him an email. He responded really quickly, and had prices that were much easier to work into my budget. I booked him over a year ahead of time and he did some family photos for us in the fall so that we could meet him and get a feel for how he worked. He immediately put us at ease and our photos from that session were wonderful. On the day of the wedding, Steve and his wife showed up right on time. They were both so friendly and accommodating, and everyone in our bridal party and family commented on how he and Heather seemed to be constantly moving and getting shots from every angle. Even my husband, who loathes having his photo taken, said he felt at ease with them. We are so happy with our photos from that day and would recommend Steve and his wife without hesitation.

So easy to work with and professional.

My husband and I got married in Upstate New York and Stephen and Heather were a pleasure to work with. Stephen was super responsive, professional and friendly. He understood what we wanted to to capture on our wedding day and we and our wedding party had a ton of fun with him. He and Heather were punctual and unobtrusive and we loved all of the pictures we got after the wedding!

I cannot express how great it was to work with Steve. I am not someone who usually enjoys posing for hundreds of pictures, but during our engagement session and wedding, Steve and his wife Heather made the experience very easy.

Not knowing exactly what we wanted the pictures to look like, we gave Steve some ideas and he was able to create a great set for us. If there were certain things we saw that we wanted, he was happy to adjust or try anything. And he was honest. If there was something he thought would look cool, he would let us know and he was right.

During the wedding there were a couple specific things that we asked for and he did an incredible job of getting what we wanted. More than anything, he is able to make people relaxed so that the pictures come out great. It was truly a pleasure to work with him.

Steve and his wife Heather photographed our wedding in November of 2017. From the beginning they were a pleasure to work with. Our initial meeting with Steve was great. He was easy to talk to and answered all the questions we had. His past work was beautiful and fit our style.

The day of our wedding, Steve and Heather were absolute professionals. They made my wife and I feel very comfortable being photographed. They had some great ideas for shots and made the day a lot of fun.

Getting the photos after our wedding was easy. We could not be happier with how everything came out.

Stephen and Heather we not only the best wedding vendors we worked with, but some of the best people we've dealt with for any service! Communication was a breeze, they made sure to get every shot that we wanted and the overall feel of our portraits exactly in line with our taste. Most importantly, they were an absolute pleasure to work with on the big day; they made the process fun and engaging and were utmost professionals and kindhearted people.

Steve Marsh is the best photographer around. Not only is he technically skilled at his craft, he also is great at working with his customers to completely capture their special day. He also spends countless hours going through each photo to find the absolute best, as well as great editing skills. I wold never consider hiring another event photographer other than Steve.

We are so thrilled that we stumbled upon Stephen Marsh Photography. From the time we contacted Stephen, he was responsive and professional. He walked us through the process, gave us documents to guide our planning, and worked seamlessly with our planner to coordinate as we approached our wedding day. The value of the package that Stephen and Heather offer is unbeatable. Not only did the package fall right within our budget, but we received two talented photographers and 750+ printed photos (including several enlargements). Stephen and Heather want to be with the couple from the beginning to the end of their special day. They do not believe in limiting the couple to a certain number of hours. As a result, we got photos of everything from getting ready to our send-off. Stephen and Heather also do an amazing job of capturing every moment without anyone feeling like the photographers are "in the way." I barely remember seeing them the entire night, and yet they caught every moment. Like magic! Having two photographers allowed us to get more photos and similar photos from different angles. After the wedding, their turnaround time was great. As we hoped and expected, our photos were so beautiful! Definitely contact Stephen Marsh Photography...they are the best!!

Steve and his wife are AMAZING! My husband and I could not be happier with our photos. They truly captured the day in the best way possible. They were fun and energetic. Steve was easy to stay in touch with and walked us thru the process step by step. The photos are amazing, the turn around time was fantastic. There's not enough great things we can say about Stephen Marsh Photography. His pricing is competitive (we even got a Friday Wedding discount!) and you really get every memory you asked him to capture. Cannot recommend him enough!!

Stephen and his wife are a wonderful team of wedding photographers. We had the pleasure working with them as the couples contracted photographer. Steve was a team player as we had the chance to work together on pre event details to make sure our timeline gave his team enough time for getting ready photos, detail shots, 1st look, family photos and all other important photos. The final photos of the couple wedding day were stunning and very vibrant. Highly recommend Stephen Marsh Photography!

It was such a pleasure working with Steve and Heather of Stephen Marsh Photography on a recent wedding. Both were friendly, professional and timely-even with multiple locations to be at between ceremony and reception. I look forward to recommending this photography team to future clients!
