Services Offered

All weddings come with two photographers. My wedding style is a mixture of documentary, fine art, and traditional. My top notch wedding photos show vibrant colors with powerful lighting. I studied art and photography at The Corcoran. What art school taught is the classics. I learned how to pose you at the most flattering angles to get those amazing magazine style shots. With every wedding my goal is to make you look like a magazine model no matter your age or weight. What art school did well was teach art. But, lighting is the heart of professional photography. Having graduated top in my class at the Corcoran, I was chosen to accompany a locally well-known National Georgraphic photographer, Richard Nowitz, on travel assigments around the country. I worked for Richard for five years before opening my own photography business.

We found Steve through our venue and could not be more happy with our choice. We also did our engagement shoot with Steve and we were thrilled by the pictures. Steve made sure to get some great shots during our wedding while at the same time allowing us to spend some time with our guests and really enjoy the party. He took the stress out of the pictures and worked with us to get all of the shots we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to use Steve again if the need for a photographer came up!

We booked Steve for our September, 2017 wedding at Maryland National Golf Club. We met with him beforehand and felt very comfortable working with Steve. We also felt good knowing he had shot weddings at our venue before. We would recommend Whysall Photography to everyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Steve and his second shooter did a fantastic job on our wedding. We love our photos and so glad that we have our special memories to look back on! Steve did a perfect job capturing what we wanted! I was extremely impressed with how many amazing photos he got and I didnt even realize they were there.

We could not be happier with photos!

Whysall is a very talented photographer who we are very happy to have booked. He is an expert in his field with several publications from what I can remember and his pricing offers great value. Our wedding is still to come but our engagement photos came out perfect. His assistant is wonderful as well.

Steve was on our venue's preferred list. After reviewing his website, he was the first photographer, with whom I made an appointment. After our meeting & impressed with his pictures, I hired him without coordinating with my fiancé or reviewing any other photographers. We're so glad we did.

Steve has a terrific and calming personality for photographing large (or small) events where either emotions run high or conditions are not ideal. He is a problem solver, has a passion for every shot and possesses a fabulous photographic eye.

Our wedding took place at a farm/vineyard. The ceremony & cocktail hour were scheduled for outdoors and the reception was inside. However, mother nature decided to rain the morning of and weather reports differed as to when it would stop. Because of weather uncertainty, Steve arrived much earlier than scheduled, in order to set up his equipment in the barn if needed, and more importantly, to see how I, the bride, was handling a potential schedule change. With the soggy ground, and dark clouds above, he looked at me with assurance and said "we're going to make this work."

Steve knew we wanted to include our motorcycles in our photos but given the weather, it was uncertain whether outside would be possible. Using his skilled artistic, photographic eye, he found a spot in a equipment barn. It was a great area and the photos were fabulous!

While I could go on and on about how he recorded superb memories of our wedding, I will only say wonderful things about Steve and his photography. He is a consummate professional who puts heart and soul into every photo and is an extraordinary photographer that we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND anytime, anywhere.

Steve did a fantastic job for our wedding back in March. We met prior to our wedding, which allowed Steve to figure out how he & us wanted our wedding shot. His team the day of was very professional and arrived well in advance. They went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted. Steve made our wedding move smoothly, taking pictures here and there not bogging us down. With this method we were able to enjoy more of our wedding. We look forward to using Steve again in the future.

Steve is passionate about photography and does a superb job at capturing moments on film. His pictures convey energy and life without a stiff, posed feel. He arrived early at our wedding and got everyone on the ball. He was enthusiastic and efficient, making the photos fun with a sense of excitement and urgency so the ceremony could start on time. Besides taking photos of the ceremony, family, guests, and wedding details, Steve expertly captured the happiness and joy of the bride and groom with unique poses and good lighting. As a result of his work, we have some wonderful pictures to frame on the wall, put in albums, and treasure for years.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Steve is truly one of the most talented photographers we have had the opportunity to work with at Stone Manor. He is not only a well skilled photographer, but he also has an eye that most others do not when it comes to getting just the right shot. He and his staff are excellent to work with on all levels and I would highly recommend him.
