    Truly Outstanding Photographer!

    Steve was awesome to work with, start-to-finish! He is a very talented, creative, intuitive, and spontaneous photographer. We got to know him well while working with during our engagement photo session, during which he demonstrated patience, passion for his work, knowledge, and a keen eye. We had a lot of fun working with him and knew immediately that we had chosen the right person for the job, leaving us feel at ease going into the wedding. On our wedding day, Steve didn't miss a single moment. He was everywhere, all the time, capturing every moment, but without being intrusive or really even noticeable except for when he was completing a photo shot list that we gave him, which he completed in its entirely to perfection. Working with his, Steve came to know our personalities, quirks, and bad habits (hand placement, for example), and worked through it all with patience and ease to produce many hundreds of truly spectacular photos -- blending nicely candids with poses, color with B&W, and many out-of-the-box shots that are unique and very special to us. In our opinion, he went above and beyond, delivery to us in a very timely fashion a full and complete wedding photo gallery that we were so proud to share with all of our guests, friends, family, and -- perhaps most importantly -- with those who could not be with us on our special day. We give him our highest recommendation.

    Incredibly friendly and attentive!!! Highly recommend!

    First off, Stephen is incredibly charming and friendly, which makes it easier to round up hot toddlers and distracted family members for photos. He captured so many great candid shots from the reception, and delivered elegant photos from our session before the reception. And he didn’t let blistering heat or light rain get in the way of some memorable photos. Highly recommend!!

    Hire stephen asap!

    Words can't express how grateful my husband and I are that we chose to go with Stephen Wang as our wedding photographer. We must've met with at least five different photographers and knew immediately he was our guy. Not only does he have such a unique eye (we have so many really cool shots outside of the traditional photos you look for) but he brings the type of energy you want on your wedding day. He's so friendly and just helps you feel at ease. EVERYONE at our wedding kept talking about how great he was! Not to mention, he was VERY reasonably priced compared to some of the other photographers we met with. Extremely talented, SO kind and a great value. What more could you ask for?

    The best day of my life

    Stephen photographed my wedding at the birchwoods at oak lane on 10-22-22 and we had the absolute best time of our lives and we were thrilled he was a part of it.
    Steve was extremely easy to talk to and get along with, we felt like he was a part of our family, we just received the preview and my jaw is on the floor, each one amazing. I cannot put into words how good of an experience we had from the initial consultation to the end of the wedding reception Stephen was outstanding. You can tell stephen truly loves what he does, I wish I could give 100 stars on this website and everyone should stop the hunt for a photographer and contact him

    Steve is the BEST

    Steve is the BEST. We got married 6 months ago and had the pleasure of having Steve as our wedding photographer. It has taken me this long to write a review because I cannot find the words to describe how amazing he is. From our first meeting to after the wedding day, Steve was incredible. He is professional, organized, and so personable. Not only is Steve an awesome photographer, but he is also a wonderful human being. He was the perfect person for our small, intimate wedding. My husband and I are so happy that he was part of our wedding day. Every time we look at our wedding photos (which is often because they are so amazing) we are immediately taken back to that day - Steve has a way of capturing the emotion in his photos, it is truly incredible. Everything you want from a wedding photographer, Steve’s got it: He takes amazing photos, he is so talented and creative, he is easy to communicate with, he is prompt, and he is a pleasure to be around. I could go on and on… If you want an AMAZING wedding photographer and a new friend call this guy. He really is the best.

    Steve is the man!

    We hired Steve on an hourly basis to take photos prior to our wedding ceremony and couldn't have been happier with his level of communication and professionalism! The day of he was organized, easy to work with, flexible, and fully maximized our limited time together. He returned the photos to us even faster than promised and we were extremely happy with the results. We highly recommend working with Steve who, as the title endorses, is the man!!

    Winter Wedding with Stephen Wang Photography

    My husband and I recently worked with Stephen Wang Photography for our winter wedding in Beacon, NY. From start to finish, Steve was incredible to work with. Prior to our wedding, he kept a constant line of communication, answering our many questions, accommodating any changes we wanted with ease and flexibility, and guiding us through exactly how the wedding day would be structured. Prior to meeting us on the wedding day, Steve scouted out several locations for photos and came prepared with great ideas. He seamlessly moved between locations, organizing group photos, couple shots, and even our first look, all while keeping us on schedule and exuding a much-needed sense of calm! We just received access to our photos online, and couldn't be more thrilled with the quality and breadth of photos in the album! We hope to work with Steve again in the future, and highly recommend him to those looking for a wedding photographer!

    Stephen Wang did a great job on our wedding photos. Guests mentioned several times how unobtrusive and friendly he was. It's quite obvious because the candid shots came out great. We certainly found him extremely easy to work with and his price is fair. Our photos came out so beautiful! You cannot go wrong with choosing him as your photographer.

    For us, choosing our photographer for our wedding had to be the most important and difficult decision we had to make. We did A LOT of research and reviewed numerous photographers’ galleries and albums to figure out which type of style we were looking for. We found Stephen Wang Photography when our wedding venue shared a Halloween themed wedding he had shot, and fell in love with his creative style, his unique angles, and how he captured every detail of the quirky couples love for each other. When meeting with Stephen, he was very personable and I love that he had us play an icebreaker game. Turns out we’re both cat people, love The Walking Dead, and have so many more things in common. We really liked that he wanted to get to know us as a couple, and us get to know him, rather than him just shoving big numbers in our face and say pick me. Fast forward to the day of our wedding; Stephen made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and together with the 2nd photographer Bill Fritz, they made the entire process so much fun! Even when it had started raining just 10 minutes after our first look had started, Stephen didn’t let it faze him and he was able to still capture the most beautiful artistic and creative portraits of us inside. He went above and beyond to make the best of a “wet” situation and we were extremely impressed, especially after seeing the pictures. Astoundingly, Steve had all the pictures ready for us to view just 3 weeks after our wedding! My husband and I could not get over how beautiful they came out and how well Steve had captured every single detail we had spent so much time and effort planning. What I loved most of all was that Steve was able to capture the love between my husband and I, and the reactions of our loved ones around us. I can’t thank Stephen Wang enough for photographing and being apart of one of the most important days of my life, and I highly recommend him!

    Stephen is an amazing photographer! Every photo he captured was very rich and unique. He set us in a variety of scenes, which was nice to have since the wedding only included the bride and groom. Stephen was also very receptive to what we wanted. It was easy to set a date with him, and he was very professional to work with. My husband isn't always comfortable with having his photo taken, especially many at a time, but Stephen made him feel very comfortable. Overall, I would definitely recommend Stephen because he captures more than just a face. He captures life and love as it is happening, and you can definitely see that in his photos.

    We are SO incredibly happy with our choice to use Stephen Wang Photography for our wedding. From the first time we met with him, Steve was friendly and professional. I had looked at his work on his website and knew he took amazing photos. Once we met, we thought, "now this is a guy we wouldn't mind having around on our wedding day!" and we were absolutely right! Steve took so many beautiful photos throughout our day-- many I didn't even notice he was taking. Our engagement and wedding photos came out beautifully-- it was worth every penny to have these to treasure for a lifetime!

    I do not know where to begin my review of such an awesome person and talented photographer! (and lover of cats) When we met with Steve for our initial meeting, I felt very comfortable chatting with him and he made the whole meeting just plain fun. We had seen his amazing work online and just knew he was THE ONE. My husband is very picky being in the industry himself but when he saw Stephens work, he said, That's the guy! And he was 100% right! I love each and every photo we were given from our special day. Stephen and his second shooter Luke kept us laughing all day long and had fun with our Halloween themed wedding. They were given such difficult lighting situations and were able to tackle them without a problem. Our venue had a lot of dark wood and not well lit areas (great for a creepy Halloween wedding but not so great for taking photos - unless you are a master of making your own light! which he and his assistant were) . We will cherish the moments he captured forever. We cannot stop looking through our images! Thank you Stephen we can't wait to contact you for more family photo needs in the future:)

    I myself have been a wedding photographer for over 10 years. When I got engaged I knew I had quite the challenge ahead of me to find a wedding photographer. Since it is my profession, I was very picky with my decision. But after I saw Stephen Wang's Photography I was put at ease. I knew I had found the perfect guy for the job.
    And I was right! I just got my photos back from him today and am floored by the consistent quality and artistic style he delivered to every image. Not to mention, He is one of the coolest guys I have ever met.
    I wouldn't change a thing about my experience with Stephen Wang Photography and would recommend him to anyone looking for one of the best photographers in CT. My only advice to engaged couples is to book him right away! You dont want to miss an opportunity to have him capture your big day!
    Thanks Stephen!

    I cannot even begin to express how amazing Stephen was. Instantly after meeting him we knew he was the photographer for us. His laid back personality and willingness to be patient with our large (and sometimes crazy) wedding party made everyone feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy ourselves while still getting all the perfect shots. His attention to detail and endless creativity is evident in all of his beautiful work and our photographs will allow us to relive our big day for ever and ever. If you want someone who is extremely talented, personable, affordable, and just downright wonderful, I would recomme

    Steve was awesome, my husband and I are so pleased with the photos he took and with him in general. I found Steven Wang Photography through a search on Facebook and after looking through his website and talking with him, we were so excited for him to be our photographer.

    Steve always emailed back right away, and he was always flexible with meeting with us since we were planning our CT wedding from far. He's funny, and creative, and his second shooter Melissa was excellent as well.

    I've heard wedding photos can usually take 5 or 6 weeks to get back, so I was completely shocked when Steve sent ours less than a month afterwards, especially since he went on his own vacation during that time! I guess it just goes to show that he really enjoys his work and wants to give his couples the best photos he can. I would definitely recommend him.

    Steve Wang did our engagement session and our wedding photography. I cant say it enough, he is fantastic! We were a little nervous and hesitant at the start of our engagement session but steve is so friendly and easy going that it made it extremely easy to work with him! He was so so so helpful when it came to finding a location for our first look photos. He went in person a week or so before the wedding to check out the location and get a feel for the place. When weather became an issue and we needed a Plan B for indoor photos, he was eager and helpful and very flexible as well. We had a large bridal party and a big family as well but Steve and his assistant helped us to get through all of those photos fairly quickly. As for his work, it truly is beautiful. He really does have an incredible eye. We just received our wedding photos and I truly cannot stop looking at them! I give steve wang photography my very highest recommendation!

    Steve is incredibly artistic with his photography. He is always so accommodating if you have an idea he will work with it but he has some great ideas of his own! No matter the weather he can make you shine! I know one of my guests had said the photo back drop doesn't even look real its that amazing! It was real and the day was amazing! I would like to thank Steve for capturing the love, friendship and beauty of the day! I recommend him to everyone and anyone I know getting married!

    Steve was the photographer for our wedding in 2012 and working with him was phenomenal from beginning to end. From the first time we met Steve, he was relaxed and easy to deal with. We felt like he got to know us as people, so he could learn what what most important to us and capture that on our wedding day. He walked us through things that we would not have thought, like who do we absolutely want to be sure to get photos with aside from our wedding party. It sounds simple enough, but it's something we would have completely forgotten to think about. The day of the wedding, he made sure we had the least stressful experience possible. He was with us for over eight hours and his mix of professionalism and flexibility were such a help and relief the whole day through. And when we got the proofs, it was such a delight to see the special moments that we had missed throughout the day that he had caught with his camera, particularly the candid photos of our parents and friends. Steve takes great shots, gets it done and you can enjoy your wedding while not having to worry about the photographer. Go Steve!

    I can't recommend this photographer enough. As a bride, the pictures are the most important part of keeping the memories for after the big day is over. This was actually my dream photographer way before I was even engaged. I just saw some of his stuff that he did for fun on his facebook page and knew I wanted him to do my wedding.
    Very reasonably priced to begin with, but also helped us find a package that was fitting for us. On the big day, he was there earlier than he said. He definitely made me feel like a princess on my big day. When he posted a couple pictures the day after the wedding, it brought a flood of emotions. I had no idea I could be that photogenic! (Neither me, nor my husband is very photogenic!) When we got all our pictures, he had taken all the "must have" shots, as well as a ton that I wouldn't have even thought of and had no idea he took. For example, he took a shot of me hugging my grandfather, and my grandfather is welling up. Another example, and one of my favorite shots was me and my maid of honor looking at each other, smiling. I also loved seeing the parts of the wedding that I didn't get to see, like the guys getting ready or my bridesmaids and flower girl walking down the aisle. He really knows the opportunities for great shots, things I would never think of, and I now know how vital that is! The professionalism of pictures, making them look like they should be in bridal magazines, as well as his knowledge of when to capture the perfect moment, are the main reasons why I would recommend him. In addition, he is THE NICEST, most polite, most accommodating person you will ever meet. You know you have a great photographer when he is in his suit and gets down on his STOMACH in low tide to get the perfect shot! I want to do a "trash the dress" shoot in the future and will only use him. I will also use him for my future kids pictures! I never want another photographer!

    We used Stephen Wang Photography as our photographer for our wedding on 9/1/13 at Harkness Memorial State Park. Stephen came recommended from a friend whom had used him for his wedding. Our friend had nothing but good things to say about Stephen and his photographs. We looked through our friends photos and were really impressed. The photos clearly had an artistic touch and weren't just the "stand there and pose awkwardly" photos that everyone hates (or loves, he can do those too if you ask). We decided to reach out via e-mail and setup an appointment. Stephen was very accommodating in terms of scheduling meetings as we were coming from out of state and needed some flexibility. From the moment we met Stephen in person, we quickly knew that he would be the photographer we wanted for our wedding. Our personalities just matched and he was very friendly and down to earth while maintaining a level of professionalism you'd expect when writing someone a large check for services to be delivered in the future. Stephen worked with us to craft a package that met our needs and our budget.
    Fast forward to the wedding day, Stephen hit all the marks of where he was supposed to be and when (Bride getting ready, chapel early to catch the groom/groomsmen and the reception. He dealt well with all personality types under stress and did so with friendliness and passion for his work. The pictures came out better than we could have imagined. We were so impressed with the photos and Stephen's eye that we decided we wanted him to make us a photo book. We're glad we did because the quality of the book and the photos that we and Stephen picked couldn't have been better. All in all, I recommend Stephen Wang Photography for any event. His demeanor, artistic eye and technical ability to deliver were unparalleled and we met with a number of photographers and have viewed photos from a number of different weddings. - The Tortora's

    Steve was an absolute dream. He is so talented and brought art to our photos. I recommend Steve to any and every bride. He was flexible to work with, I didn't spend my whole wedding posing for photos and he was able to capture so many candid moments and I didn't even know he was there
