    Awesome Photographer

    We had originally booked a different photographer, but then we realized we needed someone with more experience with larger weddings and photographing tea ceremonies and Wester weddings which is why we ended up booking Stephen! He scheduled a FaceTime call with us to get to know us better as well as ask us what were our priorities in terms of what we wanted photographed for our wedding. We had continued to stay in touch over the next few months before our wedding.

    On the day of our wedding, Stephen showed up earlier before his arrival time to scope out our venue and find locations for us to take our photos. Throughout the day, Stephen was so incredibly patient with us, our wedding party and our families and friends. He took so many gorgeous photos of our wedding day which were all available about two weeks after our wedding! He perfectly captured the energy and excitement of our big day and I'm so glad we went with him as our wedding photographer.

    Thank you Monica :) It was nice to be part of your big day. Hope we cross path again in the future :)

    Fun Photographer!

    We highly recommend Stephen! He made us feel so comfortable to take photos. My husband especially feels awkward doing photoshoots, but Stephen’s humor and charisma made both of us loosen up, which made me and my husband look more natural in photos.

    Stephen also came up with photo ideas so quickly on the fly! We would just be walking around and find sceneries with pose ideas so quickly! Best part is that he’s extremely fast to take photos, so we didn’t get tired out during our shoots. Highly recommend Stephen!

    So grateful for Stephen!!

    It’s is a long overdue review! My husband and I hired Stephen Cheng as our wedding photographer 10 months ago. We could not have made a better decision! Before we decided to work with Stephen, I looked at and contacted quite a number of wedding photographers. Stephen stood out as a photographer who is authentic, down to earth, genuinely loves what he does, and truly desires to bring out the best wedding experience for the couple. Due to weather we made changes in engagement photo session location and time a few times. He gave us suggestions when we need ideas and accommodated us as much as he could. On the wedding day, Stephen did more than what is required of his job - he coordinated with the videographers to make sure the wedding was best covered and was on his feet working the entire wedding. We had a long wedding (Asian tradition) and provided light lunch after the tea ceremony in the morning (in addition to the evening banquet), but Stephen chose to skip the lunch and went to the wedding site early to get better prepared. I was very touched by his deep care for our wedding. As the bride, I am very grateful to have someone I can trust like Stephen to take care of such an important aspect of the wedding. And did I forget to mention, we all love the photos!

    We would recommend Stephen without reservation to any couple who are looking for a trustworthy, hardworking, professional, and talented photographer for their wedding!

    Stephen is the best!

    Stephen is the best! He was so easy to work with and easy to communicate with for our wedding. He is so sweet was always easy to communicate with before and after the wedding. She made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and captured so many great candid moments. He finalize the timeline with us before the wedding and made us enjoyed our wedding moment. Thank you Stephen for capturing all our wedding and making us feel like family that day.

    Amazing attention to detail

    My mom first found Stephen and we both knew immediately we found the photographer for my wedding. His attention detail made for some beautiful photos and we look through our wedding album almost daily. Even my husband, who hates taking photos, had fun with Stephen's sessions. I am absolutely going to refer to friends and hope to see him again for future events!

    Fall Wedding

    Stephen was our wedding photographer for our fall wedding in Beaverton, OR. We couldn't recommend him enough! From our first meeting, he was so personable and knowledgeable. He is very professional as well. The day of, he arrived early to the venue and was ready to rock-n-roll when we arrived. He played a big part in maintaining the overall flow of the day. We had a couple big group family shots, and he was able to handle the large crowds and keep us organized. Stephen also has a very artistic eye. The photos we received turned out great. You'll be able to download your photos from his electronic website, but Stephen will also mail you a copy of all your photos on a USB drive. Stephen also made us a slideshow of highlights from the wedding day that we were able to share with family. He was able to capture so many special moments! We are very happy with his work. You won't go wrong if you hire Stephen to be your photographer for your special day. Thanks Stephen!

    My wife and I are amazed by the work Stephen has done for us. He was very quick to respond to every email or text we sent him. He was interested in helping us throughout the whole process and was very patient. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and took his time to get the perfect shot. You will not be disappointed if you hire Stephen. I highly recommend him and his company.

    After interviewing with Stephen, we made decision to hire him as our photographer without a second thought. We were very impressed by his previous work, by his sincerity and his quick response.

    The fee was very reasonable and the services provided are above and beyond. He knows very well what backgrounds will look good in pictures and gave good suggestions on poses. At the same time, he is also very accommodating and trying to meet my requests. He has an infrared lens which generated stunning pictures on sunny days. My husband loved it!

    He went out of his way to record our special day and left us with a very good memories. We made the best choice and it was worth every penny.

    Stephen has participated in many of my big events: wedding, maternity photos, and family photos. I hired him for my wedding shoot and loved the pictures so much, so I kept having him back to photo-shoot my other big events. He was very easy to work with. Very professional and responsive. His prices have been very reasonable as well. I love his work and style. I will keep having him back to do my annual family photos.

    I had great time photo shooting with you guys :)

    Stephen Cheng is the greatest artist I had ever met. Due to his background of graphic design, he has a sense of great art. At the first meeting, he will find out what style of shooting you want to be and showed you many of examples of the couples he had been shot before.

    We have work with both engagement photo and my wedding day. He really great to catch the couple's natural moment, the happiness smile, the laugh and the posture. If you showed the ideas of what you like, he can do beyond the result. After shooting, he gave us on time of the after touch photos, it came up very well and we both very satisfied. One of the pic was the entrance photo at our wedding.

    He is very responsible, and very creative person. He will came on time and patient to listen what you wants. At our big day wedding, he captured our the memorable moment, requested and did shot all of wedding's decoration details. He also liked to share your others ideas beside the photo shoot, he advised us the idea for invitation, and wedding gifts and also referred the reliable videographer to us. (we had a bad videographer back off a week before our wedding date)

    He works beyond his job and work very hard also the very reasonable price. If you are thinking of a photographer, I strongly recommend you to work with you and go check his website.

    Stephen provided photographic coverage of my wedding, along with his lovely assistant, Courtney. The resulting photos are absolutely STUNNING. Stephen and Courtney were very upbeat and tireless in their work on the day of the event; many of our guests commented on how friendly and engaged they were, and they exhibited an endless care and passion for photography.

    Stephen has an incredible eye for detail, and knows just what angles to use to capture light and expression beautifully. The online slideshow that he put together for our guests' and family's viewing was curated perfectly -- a great selection of photos detailing the day's highlights, and yet, this collection was only the VERY tip of the iceberg. The hundreds (and hundreds) of proofs that we received shortly thereafter are all top-notch -- I am so, so very glad that we chose Stephen as our wedding photographer! On another note, his pricing is what I consider to be VERY below market for wedding photography, especially given his skill and level of investment in his work. We cannot thank you enough, Stephen!! Our photos are absolutely priceless. :)

    My fiance and i love Stephen :) He did our engagement photo shoot and it all came out amazing :) He is so flexible because we initially had planned to take photos at this building at DTLA and only to find out at a later time that we needed to pay 1k. Stephen, had suggested a different venue around the area and indeed he produced beautiful pictures :) Stephen and his assistant came in on time on our wedding day. They came in well prepared and dressed properly- very professional! I sent him lots of inspirational pictures & sure enough he did remember those and did it on my wedding! Stephen is very nice. I had no problem contacting him and he responds quickly. We love Stephen because he also loves DETAILS :) He produces amazinng works that all our family & friends adore our pictures! We are so blessed that we had met Stephen and he became our photographer. We will forever remember him through his works! Stephen became so dear to our hearts because he treated us like his buddies too :) thank u & we will miss u!

    My husband and I got married recently and Stephen was our photographer! When it comes to photography, I was extremely picky and had checked out many photographers before my husband I decided to book Stephen! We're so glad we did :) Stephen is very easy to work with. On top of his friendly and professional demeanor, he's also very creative and shoots beautiful pictures. I am very happy with my engagement and wedding day photos. On our wedding day, Stephen arrived a little early than expected and even stayed longer to ensure all the good shots were taken. Our wedding package came with an album, and quite frankly, part of the BIG reason why I chose Stephen was because I was drawn to his background in graphic design - after I saw his sample album, I was confident he'd design something beautiful for me. Needless to say, when he put together the album design for us, my husband and I were both blown away - his design was clean, simple, not overdone nor boring. If I were to describe his album design, I'd say it's sophisticated :) He definitely knows what he is doing and did not produce us with a cookie-cutter type album.

    We'd highly recommend Stephen to anyone who's looking for a great photographer! THANK YOU STEPHEN!!!

    We selected Stephen to be our wedding photographer about reviewing his website and blog. His pictures are beautiful and full of vibrant colors and shapes. After meeting with Stephen for the first time, I knew he would be our wedding photographer. He was so nice and considerate and really took the time to understand what we wanted in photography style. On the day of the wedding, Stephen showed up on time and wentstarted shooting. He managed the scheduled well and worked with our wedding coordinator to ensure he got all the right photos. His flexiblity and kindness was unparallel. We can't wait to see the photos and the fabulous album he's going to design for us.

    We loved working with Stephen! We loved our engagement session at the Aquarium of Pacific and Queen Mary. He was flexible with taking pictures with a 500lb sea lion and had great ideas for pictures. He is totally willing to go the extra step for great pictures. We received our highlights and proofs within a reasonable amount of time even though it was wedding season and he was busy.

    Easily the best vendor I hired for my wedding last May ... and that's saying a lot considering I scour the web looking at Yelp, WeddingWire, the Knot, etc. for only the best vendors. Stephen's photography is brilliant, and his personality, professionalism, and attention-to-detail is top-notch.

    We had Stephen do our engagement photos, wedding, and an album for us. Everything turned out wonderfully. Stephen was very easy to work with, showed up on time for everything, provided direction when needed, listened to and followed our preferences, and always tried hard to make sure we were happy.

    We have amazing engagement and wedding photos now, and a beautiful leather bound album in our home. I highly recommend checking out his blog to see his work, and contacting him for a meeting. He was our favorite vendor to work with, and we appreciated everything he did for us.

    I highly recommend Stephen as your wedding photographer. He provided excellent service and beautiful photos to remember. He is such a wonderful photographer with professionalism and personally that are hard to find in others. He never once complained of difficult situations and always kept his smile. As a bride his enthusiasm and positive attitude was such a pleasure to work with! I would work with him again in my feature events!!

    Stephen was wonderful to work with. I am very nervous in front of the camera, but he put me at ease. Our photos turned out AMAZING. I don't know how he does it, but he definitely has a good eye.

    His prices are very reasonable. Other photographers we looked at charged almost double what he does for that level of work.
