Great experience

Sterling photographed our wedding from getting ready until we left. He was very involved in every aspect of the big day and seemed excited to be there and be apart of it all. He was very helpful from the beginning stages of planning up until the wedding day. The Photos came out amazing and plenty of them! We got the pictures back in about 3 weeks exactly which was awesome! We definitely recommend sterling to anyone who wants a great, friendly, professional photographer for your big day!

About Face Design Team About Face Design Team Wedding Hair & Makeup

I have known JR Sterling for years. I love his work and his style. JR is not an obtrusive or "in your face" photographer. He does what he needs to do and captures your picture in a way that reflects all you want to see on your wedding day. From your first contact with Sterling, the engagement photo to the day of the wedding, you will not regret your choice of photographer. It really all starts in the office when you first connect with the company. You will will be steered in the right direction. No hassles, no pressure. Just pleasantness and commitment to you as a client. I highly recommend Sterling Photography International. -Kari, About Face Design Team
