Whiting Photography

Our recent New Year’s Eve wedding at The Barker Tavern was everything we had hoped and more in part due to Stephen from Whiting Photography. The pictures we have seen so far are not only beautiful, but they truly capture everyone having a fun time celebrating the wedding ceremony, reception and New Year’s Eve! Stephen was not only professional, but he was also so personable and approachable. He helped everyone feel at ease during the “photo shoots” and captured various magical moments that really were the essence of the whole night. We look forward to continuing to use Stephen for all our future photography needs. Stephen went above and beyond to make our day special and memorable! We can’t wait to see all the photos that were taken from the engagement photos to the ringing in 2022 encapsulating our union after 5 years together. Thank you for all!

Stephen photographed our wedding on December 4, 2021 and he was the absolute best! From the start, we knew Stephen would be the right choice because he really cares about getting to know the couples he works with. He does an engagement shoot with every wedding package so that he can meet the couple beforehand. We absolutely loved our engagement pictures and Stephen made the whole experience so comfortable. He is really easygoing and calm and a great presence to have around.

We just got our wedding gallery back (such a quick turnaround - and Stephen had already sent us around 50 sneak peeks just days after the wedding!) and we are so happy. When we were talking to photographers, we expressed that we did not want to do a first look but that we wanted to get some photos together outside before it got dark. With a December wedding this was a challenge. Multiple photographers said they could not do it but Stephen said he could. The outdoor photos that we got are truly incredible and Stephen got some insane sunset shots as well! And the photos inside are just as amazing. Stephen is really an expert with lighting. More importantly, Stephen captured the joy of the day and everyone looks so natural. For example, the photos Stephen took of the wedding party are so cute - they don't look awkward or staged at all (which, in my opinion, those often do!). We have received so many compliments from family and friends on the photos.

In addition to the pictures themselves, Stephen was super professional to work with, always responsive, energetic, and helpful. My mom said, "I love how easy he made it. It never felt like getting the pictures was in the way of the party." Stephen truly loves his job and his joy is infectious. When he was taking our wedding photos, he kept saying "I'm just so happy right now!" It is awesome to be surrounded by that energy on your wedding day! We would recommend Stephen to everyone and would love to work with him again in the future.

I would absolutely recommend Whiting Photography to anyone! Stephen was so great to work with and our wedding photos came out amazing. I can’t stop looking at them and every time I do I have a huge smile. Prior to our wedding Stephen was responsive and answered any and all questions we had. When rain was in the forecast days before our wedding, Stephen went above and beyond and visited our venue the day before to scope out alternative photo locations which put me at such ease!

The wedding photos truly radiate pure joy and love and capture how much fun my husband and I have together and how we are always laughing. Stephen also got plenty of killer dance floor moments! As people who don’t love having their photos taken, Stephen made us feel so comfortable and we were really able to enjoy our first look together. He was so easygoing and wonderful work with, I have been in quite a few weddings and I haven’t always found that to be the case.

If you are looking for a fabulous photographer, look no further!! Our wedding photos are fabulous and I love every single one of them, Stephen is so talented!!
