Simply the best!
Stephen was the best decision my husband and I made in our wedding planning process. He truly made all my wedding photo dreams come true. He met with us before hand and was kind, enthusiastic, and just so genuine. The first look and wedding portraits we took before our ceremony is a memory we will both never forget. We walked through beacon hill and Stephen made sure we hit all the perfect spots. Not to mention he carried around my veil, fur shall, and flowers! He made both of us feel so comfortable and almost as if we were just hanging out with an old friend. After each shot he would be just as excited as we were. You can truly tell he loves what he does and the people he works with. Our family also cannot stop talking about how awesome he was. We received so many sneak peaks only a few days after our 12/2 wedding and they are so beautiful. Every person who sees them comments on how amazing our photos are. Stephen is truly the best!!! -

Stephen was the very first vendor we contacted after we booked our venue - he had photographed my best friend’s wedding and immediately I knew we had to have him for ours. Since the very start Stephen was nothing but kind, helpful and friendly. He was so easy to work with and made our wedding day so seamless. He captured all our favorite moments throughout the night and got all our pictures back so quickly!! We cannot believe how wonderful everything came out, it’s hard to choose our favorites! We cannot recommend him enough!! -

Stephen is exceptional!!!
I’m not sure I can put into words how grateful my husband and I are for Stephen. First off- he is a true gentleman. Stephen is so kind, helpful, professional and passionate- everyone adored him! Not only was he the best photographer ever, but he was also the saving grace of keeping us to the timeline and he also navigated dealing with some interesting wedding party/ family personalities like a pro.
His eye for photography is phenomenal. I have never met anyone so utterly talented. You can see and feel the emotion in every single photo. The colors in his photos are so vibrant. My husband and I are not pros at posing for the camera, but it came effortlessly with Stephens help. The photos we have received so far from our 11/28 wedding are gorgeous and exceed our wildest dreams.
Booking Stephen for your engagement shoot/wedding will be the best decision of your life!! -

Amanda G. Sent on 10/06/2023The Best Part of Our Wedding!!
If you are considering booking Stephen - don't hesitate, do it! I cannot recommend Stephen enough - he was hands down the best decision that we made for our wedding. As a couple without a wedding planner, we really wanted a photographer that was going to guide us through the day and help to shape our timeline. Stephen (and Alex, our amazing second shooter) were by our side from the minute they got there until they left. Every time I looked up for direction, there he was. I was so concerned about running behind, or being too focused on timeline the day of the wedding. Looking back, I was so carefree and in the moment - I think I asked what time it was once. I also didn't look at the weather once because I knew Stephen would take care of whatever we needed to do! Miraculously the rain held out until we finished photos.. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Stephen had our backs the entire day. And, OF COURSE, our photos are incredible!! Stephen captured the true love and joy that not only we felt on our wedding, but that everyone around us felt. He captured not only the big moments but these small moments in between that add such a special touch to the wedding. We got married at the Omni Parker House, a very old hotel with it's own charm. Stephen embraced this charm and took advantage of all the amazing spaces and lighting the venue offered. He also made sure every element of the photo was perfect, my dress, veil, train. It was also amazing to have Stephen photograph our engagement shoot and be at our welcome party the night before the wedding! It really made us and our bridal party feel so comfortable for the next day. And if you're still reading this - literally every single member of my bridal party and family has been raving about how amazing Stephen was. So professional, knowledgable, calming, sweet and caring. We could not have asked for a better photographer, and person, to trust with our special day and will be forever grateful that we found him. Thank you, Stephen!!Whiting Photography's reply:
Oh my gosh! What an incredibly sweet review. Thank you so much Amanda! It turned out to be a beautiful day and I loved capturing all the emotions from everyone in attendance. -

Highly Recommend!!
Stephen is the BEST! He went out of his way to meet us on-site prior to our wedding to scope out potential locations for pictures. He was always super responsive to any questions, making you feel at ease. Stephen just naturally fits into the fold on your wedding day, making everyone feel comfortable. He did a great job giving suggestions and providing direction to get the perfect shot! We absolutely LOVE our pictures and are so glad we had Stephen to capture our special day! -

We really enjoyed having Stephen as our wedding photographer! We could tell as soon as we met him that he would be the type of person to make us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera and this was totally true! We were so happy with him and our pictures came out so beautiful - he captured all the different emotions and moments in our big day! -

Vanessa M. Sent on 08/24/2023Amazing service, great photos
Due to trouble with our original photographer, we had to find someone last minute for our wedding in June, and we are so glad we found Stephen. His professionalism, kindness, and attitude were fantastic from the moment we met him. His photos speak for themselves in quality and quantity. His second shooter Randy was also excellent to work with and they both made our wedding day easy and special. Stephen listened to our request prior to the big day to have limited formal photos and majority natural photos taken. After the wedding many of our guests mentioned that they barely noticed that we had photographers, which showed just how talented they both are. They stayed out of site, yet somehow were right in the middle of the action the whole time. The photos came out wonderfully and we could not recommend Whiting Photography enough. Thank you so much to Stephen and Randy for giving us memories to last a lifetime!

Alison G. Sent on 05/31/2023Amazing wedding photographer! Book him now!
Stephen is AMAZING!! From the beginning when we booked him and had our initial meeting, to our engagement photo shoot, to the wedding day- it was flawless! He is so easy going and made sure my husband and I were comfortable every step of the way. He is so talented and his team made our special day so great. They took care of all our photo wants (we made a list)- make sure that you triple check your list so that you don't forget any photo combinations! Every guest was so pleased with Stephen and how many photos we got at the reception. I highly recommend Stephen Whiting Photography for your wedding day. We are looking forward to having Stephen photograph our family again in the future! -

If you can book Stephen as your photographer, DO IT NOW. He is a true miracle worker. We started with Stephen when I hired him to document our proposal. I googled “LGBTQ friendly photographer near me”, and Stephen came up. I fell in love with his work for many reasons, particularly the way he captures emotion. Looking through the beautiful photos on his website, I felt like the strangers on my screen were old friends. He photographed our proposal and our wedding day, and the photos were just stunning.
Looking now at our beautiful gallery, of our actual friends and family, I can’t even tell you how thankful we are. We love that he followed our story from the proposal on, and can’t wait for him to capture more important moments in the future! We had so many wonderful comments about our photos and our amazing photography team. Stephen and Jason made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and his work is amazing.
Stephen - thank you thank you, for being the very best! You made these girls who don’t usually love their photos being taken feel like royalty, and gave us such gorgeous photos we will cherish forever.
For our LGBTQ friends out there- finding vendors is not always easy. The heteronormativity in the wedding industry can run deep and be super frustrating. Let me tell you, Stephen and his team were a dream. There was not a GLIMPSE of heteronormative nonsense from them. From the forms we filled out to his presence in person - it was all perfect. Do your self a favor and book this gem of a human, ASAP.
Thank you Stephen!! -

Ashlee B. Sent on 03/29/2023Stephen was the BEST
I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough! From the very beginning, he was with us every step of the way, capturing all the important moments from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. He was incredibly professional, yet so personable that we felt comfortable around him from the start. Truly, we spent an hour and a half on our intake call with him and during our engagement shoot had him take pictures of us in the water! He really focuses on color and capturing the emotions of the day and he did that with finesse. Exactly what we were looking for.
On the day of our wedding, he truly blew us away with his pictures. Every single photo was absolutely stunning and captured the essence of our special day perfectly. He was so creative in his approach and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the most beautiful memories of our wedding day.
Aside from his undeniable talent, Stephen was an absolute joy to work with. He was patient, kind, and always had a smile on his face. He listened to our needs and preferences, and made sure that we were happy with every single shot he took.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only incredibly talented, but also a pleasure to work with, then look no further than Whiting Photography. He exceeded our expectations in every way possible and we are so grateful to have had him capture our special day. Thank you so much!Whiting Photography's reply:
One of the sweetest reviews ever! I have such great memories of trying to figure out where to get into the water as we were running out of light in Rockport. Plus you took me back to where I had my own wedding photos done on the rocks. Thank you Ashlee, this means so much! -

The perfect choice for us
When my now-husband and I were looking for a photographer, we struggled to find someone who did not over-saturated their photographs or edit them in a way that washed out the sky and surrounding environment. I stumbled across Stephen and immediately fell in love with how he captured beautiful images that were crisp and professional, without compromising the true colors and beauty of the background. We also loved that his package included an engagement photo session and a wedding album, which was a must for us. We had a great engagement photo session with him, but Stephen really shined in a wedding setting. He was easy to be around, unflappable while corralling large unruly groups for the formals, and was somehow both everywhere and out of sight. We decided to add a second photographer and absolutely loved Amanda as well - they made a great team and we felt super comfortable around them. Stephen also sent us a sneak peak of some photos only a week after the wedding, which was such an amazing gesture when we were desperate to relive the day. Everyone gushes about the quality of his photographs - we had a surprise cold June day but he captured the beauty of the cloudy sky in a way that made the photos unique and special. I highly recommend him as your wedding photographer - we would book him again in an instant!

Amna Sent on 06/27/2022The best in the business!
Where do I begin! From our very first introductory meeting, Stephen's presence was so warm and welcoming, and his genuine excitement to work with his clients made the world's difference. He was so flexible, so communicative, responded patiently to every question in such a timely manner, and really helped us plan and visualize our big day. On the wedding day itself, Stephen was punctual, gave wonderful direction if needed, kept us laughing, and worked so incredibly seamlessly with all other vendors involved. His style of shooting special candid moments is exactly what we wanted, and we are so beyond happy with our wedding gallery! We also got all our photos back so quickly! I would absolutely work with Stephen again, and would highly highly recommend him as a photographer! He's got a special vision, and is just overall such an authentic and personlable human being :) -

Awesome wedding photographer!!!
Stephen photographed our wedding on December 4, 2021 and he was the absolute best! From the start, we knew Stephen would be the right choice because he really cares about getting to know the couples he works with. He does an engagement shoot with every wedding package so that he can meet the couple beforehand. We absolutely loved our engagement pictures and Stephen made the whole experience so comfortable. He is really easygoing and calm and a great presence to have around.
We just got our wedding gallery back (such a quick turnaround - and Stephen had already sent us around 50 sneak peeks just days after the wedding!) and we are so happy. When we were talking to photographers, we expressed that we did not want to do a first look but that we wanted to get some photos together outside before it got dark. With a December wedding this was a challenge. Multiple photographers said they could not do it but Stephen said he could. The outdoor photos that we got are truly incredible and Stephen got some insane sunset shots as well! And the photos inside are just as amazing. Stephen is really an expert with lighting. More importantly, Stephen captured the joy of the day and everyone looks so natural. For example, the photos Stephen took of the wedding party are so cute - they don't look awkward or staged at all (which, in my opinion, those often do!). We have received so many compliments from family and friends on the photos.
In addition to the pictures themselves, Stephen was super professional to work with, always responsive, energetic, and helpful. My mom said, "I love how easy he made it. It never felt like getting the pictures was in the way of the party." Stephen truly loves his job and his joy is infectious. When he was taking our wedding photos, he kept saying "I'm just so happy right now!" It is awesome to be surrounded by that energy on your wedding day! We would recommend Stephen to everyone and would love to work with him again in the future. -

The most joyous wedding photos!
I would absolutely recommend Whiting Photography to anyone! Stephen was so great to work with and our wedding photos came out amazing. I can’t stop looking at them and every time I do I have a huge smile. Prior to our wedding Stephen was responsive and answered any and all questions we had. When rain was in the forecast days before our wedding, Stephen went above and beyond and visited our venue the day before to scope out alternative photo locations which put me at such ease!
The wedding photos truly radiate pure joy and love and capture how much fun my husband and I have together and how we are always laughing. Stephen also got plenty of killer dance floor moments! As people who don’t love having their photos taken, Stephen made us feel so comfortable and we were really able to enjoy our first look together. He was so easygoing and wonderful work with, I have been in quite a few weddings and I haven’t always found that to be the case.
If you are looking for a fabulous photographer, look no further!! Our wedding photos are fabulous and I love every single one of them, Stephen is so talented!! -

Absolutely Amazing
I knew Stephen was a good photographer when hiring him but GOSH he exceeded all expectations. Four day after the wedding, he sent me about 60 pictures (quickest turnaround of all time, am I right??) and the pictures are SO good. The lighting and quality of each picture blows my mind. I'm having a hard time putting into words just how good the pictures came out. He truly is a fantastic photographer.
From the beginning, Stephen was responsive and helpful. He helped me decide whether or not to do a first look (we decided too, and I'm so glad we did). He was so helpful on the day of the wedding. He knew I was super stressed and he kept checking in to make sure I was good and that we were getting all the pictures I was hoping for.
I cannot wait to get the rest of the wedding pictures. Thank you, Stephen! -

4 “photo shoots” with Stephen!
Stephen is fantastic. He photographed our engagement photos, our small wedding ceremony during COVID, our rehearsal dinner, AND our larger wedding this year. Throughout our (extended) wedding planning process, he’s been so easy to work with – responsive, communicative, and supportive of our changes in plans. We’ve been so happy with the quality of his work. The candid pictures are incredible and the colors are so vibrant. We loved that Stephen was both laidback and extremely organized (this eased a lot of the bride’s stress during day of). It is true that you spend a lot of time with your photographer, but that was very easy with Stephen, in fact he feels like a part of our extended family!Whiting Photography's reply:
I need to see how many photos you have total Lauren, SO many! I loved each and every event, your families are wonderful and your friends are so fun. Cheers to finally being married, married, married! -

Amazing photos and even better person!
It is hard to describe in words just how amazing our experience with Stephen was from start to finish. Stephen was very responsive, kind, understanding, and super helpful, especially as we were forced to navigate and re-plan our big day due to the confusing and constantly evolving challenges coronavirus threw at us this year. In the end, we had the perfect day, and Stephen was able to capture the emotion of every moment in his pictures. The photos blew us away, and our family and friends are still talking about how amazing he was 8 weeks later, especially his unique and creative ideas to give us more than just traditional wedding photos. Since our wedding, we've had family & friends asking for his contact information so he can also work his magic during their events. Stephen's pictures are amazing, but it was equally notable that he was truly a part of the intimate group present at our wedding. Everyone felt like they got to know him, and he was very attentive to the details of the day, and accommodating to all our guests' requests. We are planning to throw a future wedding reception and will definitely be coordinating with Stephen's schedule to make sure he can help capture that the fun and exciting emotions of that event as well! We would recommend Stephen to anyone, you will not be disappointed!Whiting Photography's reply:
You guys had one of my favorite ceremonies ever! Your smiles could not have been any bigger - I just love how happy you were all day long! -
