  Dream wedding photography

  From the moment we met Stephen he was a supporter of happiness, love and just being helpful where ever he could. He’s very responsive throughout the whole process and always checks in. He dots the i's and crosses the t's to ensure he made our photography vision come true on our wedding day. The timeline he put together for us and the bridal party put us at ease and helped keep the entire day running smooth. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Stephen. His professionalism and accommodation along with his outstanding work are highly recommended for anyone who wants their dream wedding photos to become a reality.

  Excellent photographer

  Would absolutely recommend Stephen to anyone who is need of photos . He photographed our wedding and he was super professional and easy to work with from beginning to end. On our wedding day the picture taking was done in such a way that we got everything we wanted all before the cocktail hour started ! He sent helpful reminder emails through the wedding planning process too!

  HIGHLY Recommend!

  We worked with Stephen for our wedding in November 2023 and he was amazing! He was so easy to work with leading up to our day, really listened to what we were looking for and liking/not liking, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. A few weeks leading up to our big day, we were worried about rain and he worked closely with us to figure out an "alt plan", just incase (thankfully we didn't need to use it). On our wedding day, he rolled with all the punches the day brought and made sure to capture the special moments we were looking for. Even with a few unexpected things, he was able to keep us on our timeline the entire day. We would highly recommend him for your big day!

  Best wedding vendor!

  Stephen Mayo is professional, communicates often, and ensured that our day went exactly as planned. From the day we started working with him, he sent emails and had video conferences about the vision we hoped for, colors that we wanted incorporated into our day, and photographs that we wanted. Stephen Mayo answered emails promptly and answered any and all questions my husband and I had leading up to our wedding. Meeting with him a year in advance to have our engagement photos ensured that he was the photographer we wanted to use for our wedding. Down to the minute, Stephen Mayo helped my husband and I set up a timeline that worked for us on our wedding day and helped us stick to it! Stephen Mayo was the best wedding vendor we used, and we could not recommend him enough!

  The most thoughtful and professional photographer!!!

  We used Stephen as our photographer for our 10/21/23 wedding and we could not be happier!! Stephen is truly amazing at what he does and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Throughout our entire planning process, Stephen would reach out with helpful tips and guides to help us get our timeline down and to make sure we were set up for success. He did an incredible job at our engagement shoot and taught us how to pose and become more comfortable with being in front of the camera. When our wedding day came, I had no doubt that Stephen would make sure to get every shot we requested and within the timeline we made with him. He is extremely detail oriented and organized which makes the whole process run so smoothly. We felt so at ease after our final planning call with him and always knew we could reach out to him and get answers to any of our questions promptly. We can’t wait for our final photos!!

  Do yourself a favor and work with Stephen!

  Stephen shot our wedding in September and our engagement photos in June and I could not have been happier with our choice to have him as a part of our special day. The process of choosing all of these vendors was overwhelming and Stephen did a wonderful job keeping me at ease, being a sounding board and reminding us that it's our day!
  Our family and friends also raved about Stephen's energy and professionalism. I strongly recommend working with Stephen for a Wedding or any other life moments you may want to capture. He was also very helpful and flexible as my husband and I don't live in New York, so having someone give recommendations and guidance on Long Island was extremely helpful.

  Not just a photographer, but a friend

  Stephen made my whole wedding planning process enjoyable and seamless. He captured my and my husband's relationship from the engagement shoot to our wedding day. I also like to think I helped him become a preffered vendor in my local wedding planning group. He helped our day run so smoothly and he kept me calm the whole time (and I'm not a calm person). Stephen also offered numerous times to help out the week before/week of when we lost a member of our family and were juggling numerous things. I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion.

  Incredible Experience

  We had the pleasure of working with Stephen on our wedding day. Throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding, he was attentive to detail, thorough and responsive. The engagement session made us comfortable with posing and we knew what to expect on our wedding day. The day of the wedding Stephen showed up early to scout the best locations and worked really well with our videographer he just met that day. Stephen was so efficient the day of the wedding we were ahead of our timeline and did not feel like e had to rush in between transitions of the evening. We got take a sneak peek at some of the photos on a device he set up next to the main door that displayed some of the special moments from the day - the guests and us loved that. Stephen is the guy to get if you need a photographer to capture your special day. He truly cares about what he does and your special moments will be in good hands.
  
  Love,
  Martyna & Jesse

  Wow, Wow, Wow! We couldn't be happier.

  When choosing a photographer for our intimate day (20 people), I felt I hit the jackpot with Steve. He mixed traditional wedding photography with his unique style and the results were perfect. He was able to capture the warmth of the day as well as the fun spirit of our "interesting" family. Steve himself made us feel comfortable even though my husband and I don't love posing for pictures. My friends and family who were not able to be there with us felt as if they were there, after seeing Steve's Photos. We couldn't be happier.

  Excellent Photographer!

  My wedding was a couple of weeks ago and my experience with Stephen was absolutely amazing. From the moment I signed the contract with Stephen Mayo Photography, Stephen acted beyond your typical photographer duties. He gave me ideas via Pinterest for color schemes, flowers, and other details I may have needed for my wedding. Furthermore, his professionalism was unmatched. He created a detailed timeline with me and my now husband, which included names of important people who would be in our photos with us so there wouldn't be mass confusion, as well as had the utmost patience in dealing with our family members who would wander off at the wrong times. Last but not least, Stephen's ideas for shots were on point and I know without a shadow of a doubt that they'll be AMAZING! Suffice it to say, use Stephen Mayo Photography for all your photographic needs!

  An amazing experience with a skilled Photographer

  I am not sure where to begin with this review. From the moment my husband and I connected with Stephen, we knew he was the best photographer for our wedding. Not only did he accommodate our vision but and flawlessly execute, but all the moments leading up to the wedding Stephen made sure we were all on the same page for our big day. One thing I absolutely cannot get over is our engagement shoot. Not only do we have another set of wonderful couple photos but, now I know how to pose for life! Lol, Stephens tips for myself and husband are timeless and definitely came in handy on our wedding day (now in all our photos) We couldn't recommend him enough!!!!!!!

  Best Photographer Experience For Engagement and Wedding Photos

  Our wedding was on Feb 25, 2023. My husband and I would just like to say that we would recommend Stephen Mayo to anyone who needs professional photos done for ANY occasion. We had the pleasure of working with him over our year process of planning our wedding and it was the best experience ever. We started working together on our engagement photos which came out spectacular. We loved them as well as our family and friends. Stephen Mayo is a very respectful, genuine, hard working individual who was a pleasure to work with. We knew from then that we made the right choice to be working with him for our wedding as well. We would also like to include that he is very easy to get along with and works with you to ensure that you are happy with all the results!!!!

  Working with Stephen was the best decision we made

  We were so lucky to have Stephen photograph our wedding. My husband and I were not used to being in front of the camera before working with him, but he gave us great posing advice and information that helped us feel completely at ease on the big day. During group photos, he was calm and direct and put everyone in our bridal party and family at ease, even the kids under 5.
  Stephen really cared about doing right by us as his clients. He was attentive and responsive with us any time we had questions leading up to the wedding. He was also open and flexible if we wanted to try something new. He took the time to understand what we wanted our wedding photos to feel like and then was able to make it a reality. He is a true artist.

  Stephen was great!

  We did our engagement photos with Stephen and we was phenomenal to work with! He was highly collaborative while also willing to offer his ideas/perspectives on shots and locations. He did a great job guiding us in specific poses and positioning us to get the best possible photographs. We would highly recommend working with him.

  Thanks so much! I had such a great time working with both of you, and I love the way your pictures came out! Going to both Central Park and DUMBO worked out so well!

  Made our wedding!

  To say how talented, professional, and the way he made us feel so comfortable oike know him for years, is an understatement.
  * 10000% reliable
  * 10000% communicative
  * 10000% takes the most beautiful shots with lighting, angles, staging, candid, action, portrait- AMAZING
  * he dealt with my crazy family & MY NOW HUSBANDS FAMILY who was super unprepared for the morning of wedding morning session. Stephen handled this situation with the most professional, unbothered manner- yet made sure to keep the integrity of his craft and pivot on how to get the family shots he envisioned.
  * AMAZING WITH THE KIDS AND GETTING THEM TO POSE- they looooved him.
  * After my wedding, I had mulltiple friends and family ask about our photographer and complimented his friendly and artistic demeanor while taking the best photos.
  
  Out of all of my vendor reviews, our professional photographer Stephen Mayo, made our day that more special and less stressful. Your wedding should be only love and fun, and he gave me especially (as the bride) that comfort and the most amazing photos that I’ll cherish forever.

  Stephen Mayo Review

  I stumbled upon Stephen when I was searching to throw together a whole wedding in about two months time. I came across some of his photos and I fell in love with the way he captures such special moments. First, the pricing was a total steal for the amazing work he does. Second, he knew how much time we were lacking to coordinate things and he made it so incredibly seamless. At first, I was not sold on the engagement shoot, but I am beyond happy Stephen convinced us to go for it. My now husband and I are not photo friendly and find ourselves uncomfortable taking photos in general. Stephen made us feel like we were just hanging out and enjoying ourselves. We had chosen one or two spots to meet, and we were completely winging it. He guided us to different areas that he scoped out beforehand. Stephen took all of our thoughts and made it into something so spectacular. He made sure to incorporate everything we mentioned and more. I cannot emphasize enough how much fun we had doing our shoot. Shortly after our engagement shoot, he gave us the most amazing little photo album that I cherish so much, and he provided alll of the photos in literally a week (our wedding was like two or three weeks after our engagement shoot).
  
  The wedding was out of this world. Stephen connected with me multiple times before hand and the day of to make sure things went the way I had envisioned. His artistic eye and ability to capture the most beautiful candid moments was EVERYTHING. He was so incredibly kind to my little niece and made her feel like a princess. He let her see all of the pictures as he was taking them and really made her feel special. This was so profound to me. Stephen and his assistant were so loved by our entire family and all of our friends. During the ceremony, I know he was capturing all of the special moments, but it felt like he blended in with everything and everyone. It did not feel like he was in the way of anything and I know many brides worry about that. We took group photos with the bridal party directly after the ceremony and we did so good in time with Stephen’s schedule and guidance. He made sure to take us to all of the spots I had noted as important areas. When we got to our venue, he even brought a drone and got this amazing video of the entire place. This was SO special and such a surprise because the place we had our celebration had sold their facility and this was their last hoorah and party! He even let my niece play with the drone. I got a sneak peak of our photos at the venue as he had them displayed on his laptop, and I cannot wait to receive them in full soon. I am so incredibly grateful to have been able to book Stephen for this unforgettable day. I will recommend Stephen to literally everyone until the end of time. I feel so blessed. 20/10 highly recommend.

  Absolutely amazing!!!

  Stephen was absolutely incredible! Not only is the quality of his work the best you will ever come across (and I mean that literally), but his professionalism in the way he communicates leading up the event and during the event is also amazing! For my wedding, he made the aspect of pictures as stress-free as possible. I didn’t even have to think about which pictures were going to be taken and how, because I knew Stephen was on it. There is nobody else I would recommend for taking pictures for any event, because with Stephen you get talent, professionalism, kindness, and so much more!

  Great experience

  We interviewed a few photographers. But when we sat and met with Stephen, it was different. Rather than trying to wow us with accolades and experiences, or why we should hire them, Stephen asked what we wanted and actually listened. He asked all the right questions and made great suggestions and gave us ideas we didn’t think of on our own.
  On our special day, he was awesome. He worked so hard to make sure every picture was as perfect as could be. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to capture all of the special moments without being intrusive.
  Our wedding was only a couple of days ago so we haven’t received all our photos yet, but what we have seen so far, uis fantastic.
  If you are looking for a photographer with a personal touch and someone who listens to what you want, yet offering their expertise when needed, Stephen is your guy. We couldn’t be happier.

  Amazing Photographer!

  Stephen was very transparent and detail oriented about every step of the planning process, from the engagement shoot to the shot-list. The day of our engagement shoot was about 100 degrees and yet we got some absolutely incredible photos; he somehow made us forget how sweaty we were and focus on the moment.
  
  Prior to our wedding, Stephen met with us twice to go over must-haves and get a better understanding of our families dynamics.
  
  Day-of, Stephen kept us on a smooth timeline so that we were able to get all the photos we wanted (including a photo of me and my pet snake I didn’t realize I wanted until day-of) without feeling rushed. He and his wife were also incredibly kind and patient with my bridesmaids and family members, many of whom felt pretty uncomfortable posing at first. Our photos are absolutely amazing and I am head over heels with them. Stephen was flexible, professional, and I recommend him wholeheartedly!

  Rehearsal Dinner

  Stephen has been one of the most incredible photographers I have ever hired. From the initial phone consultation, he was courteous, kind, patient, and respectful. My husband and I had the pleasure of having him photograph our rehearsal dinner, and he took the most splendid photos. He is absolutely talented, capturing the essence of the evening and everyone’s personalities beautifully. We were having so much fun with him taking photos on the beach that we did not even want to stop for the actual dinner! I highly recommend Stephen as he is punctual, professional, and an overall incredible human. We will definitely be using his photography skills in the future.
