    Stan Carton photographed my wedding recently and he did an amazing job. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Mr. Carton went above and beyond what was necessary to capture every special moment. He is a very detailed person and it really shows. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again.

    Stan Carton photography was one of the best investments of our wedding. From the very first day my husband and I meet Stan we knew he was our wedding photographer. He was honest, professional, direct and very experienced. In an instant we knew we were in great hands. Stan service include the day of wedding pictures, my bridal shower, the engagement session and the wedding rehearsal and dinner. We also did not only get Stan but his amazing and wonderful photographing partner Scott. Together they both were dynamic. On the day of the wedding Stan and Scott were punctual and worked their tails off! Many comments came from guests at the wedding on how professional they were and how dedicated they were to getting the perfect shots. Stan and Scott were great and we could not have asked for more dedicated photographers for our big day. My husband and I are so very happy and pleased with our photos. We not only have one of a kind shots but a story through our wedding photos to remember our perfect day for a lifetime. We own this all to Stan and Scott and many thanks goes out to them for their hard work and commitment to what they do. My husband and I highly recommend Stan Carton photography to everyone because he is the best at what he does!

    Stan was wonderful. He is very professional and responsive to our request as well as offering great suggestions for us. He is flexible and provided excellent coverage at the wedding and the reception. He stays till he gets the pictures he wants and works very hard. The quality of our Wedding Album is impeccable, we have had so many people comment that they have never seen an album that looks that good. In addition to his professionalism and other great qualities, he was a blast to work with and has a wonderful sense of humor. We Highly recommend Stan. Charlotte B.

    My name is Keidrick Henton and my wife, Shavona and I, decided to hire Stan as our wedding photographer in September 2014. He did a magnificent job with such a special day for us, our family and guests. The services we received were first rate, professional and worth every dollar we spent. His enthusiasm for shooting our wedding photographs easily allowed us to enjoy the day without anything related to his services being of any concern to us. I recommend Stan Carton Photography to all couples looking to hire a professional and talented photographer. He captured some very special moments from our wedding day. Thanks, Stan!

    He is the best wedding photographer in the world! He thought of picture angles that I have never seen before and I would have never thought of! He never felt awkward getting close up to get the best shots. He had help and was already right there and ready to take a picture when I needed it! I am also planning to have Stan do my family photos next year and I'm super excited!

    If you are looking for a professional photographer who will go the extra mile to make your event special and memorable then Stan Carton is the one for you. Mr. Carton photographed my daughters recent wedding and I couldn't be happier with the photos. They are absolutely beautiful! Mr. Carton went out of his way to capture every special moment of the day. He devoted nearly his entire day to my daughters wedding including before, during, and after the wedding. He even followed the Limo to The Galt house where they were staying that evening to get special shots there. I highly recommend Stan Carton.

    very professional photographer. Prices were reasonable and he worked with our budget to make sure we got the most bang for our buck. Very friendly and even offered a payment plan. My mother agreed to pay for the pictures but later could not. So I covered it with a payment plan. He was early and had an assistant. Beautiful shots. Stayed for the entire event.

    I jumped the gun on signing with this photographer based on some photos that he showed me, and things that he told me about his wedding experience (specifically that he had shot hundreds of weddings over the last 15 years). Recently, someone urged me to do some more research to be sure this was the photographer I wanted to go with. When I met with Stan to sign the contract, there was one album in particular that I was concerned about because I felt like the bride looked very unflattering in her photos. I brought it up (I think my exact words were, "This bride looks rough in these photos") He explained it by telling me that the girl was a "mature (as in older) bride." I later discovered that this girl is actually only 26 years old. Then, after looking at the albums posted to his photography website, I noticed that there were only photographs from 4 weddings posted in the last 18 months, and I felt even more misled (look carefully on the website and you will notice that several of the posts labeled wedding are actually reposts of weddings that look place up to 5 years ago). The quality of some of the photos was also questionable in my opinion (shadows, people in the foreground of shots, wedding party shots where no one is looking at that camera-- please look for yourself on his website). Next, I contacted the vendor, and told him that I did not feel comfortable using him as the photographer for my wedding based on the fact that I felt I had been misled about his wedding experience, and my opinions of the quality of some of the wedding photos, and I request a refund of my deposit. Several emails were exchanged, and he refused to refund the deposit. I responded and told him that I would be sharing my experience with other brides, and vendors in the form of negative reviews of my experience with him. I received a letter from his lawyer accusing me of slander & threatening to "aggressively pursue" me if I posted said reviews.

    Stan Carton Photography's reply:

    Please understand that I never took the first picture for Melody. This is all about a non-refundable deposit. The purpose of the non-refundable deposit is to hold the date for my clients. It locks me into that date and I honor the date no matter what may come along. When a client decides to go in another direction he or she may cause me to miss an opportunity for another event.
