Alejandra Sent on 07/19/2023Perfection!!
Absolutely our favorite vendor of our whole wedding! Would recommend hands down, best choice we made for our wedding day. He was great during the whole process and both him and his assistant were marvelous the day of. We have received so many compliments from our family before they have even seen the photos! Multiple family members praised how professional, thorough and kind they were throughout the day.
He took the time to walk us through the day so we could feel more relaxed and gave suggestions while also really listening to us and our needs. It made the whole process so much easier and magical. Our photos really capture the moment and feel very timeless. With that being said they are incredible photos!! As someone that has worked in weddings and events and has worked with dozens of photographers I can say that with certainty Stephane is one of the best. -

Words cannot fully describe what an amazing experience we have had so far with Stephane and his team! My soon-to-be-wife and I recently had our engagement photoshoot and it was awesome, beautiful, fun and an overall unforgettable experience! Stephane makes you feel so comfortable right away from the start and helps you enjoy every second of it. We are in love with our pictures- we could have not asked for anything better and we are beyond excited to see what he captures on the day of our wedding!
Fully and absolutely recommended! -

There are not enough great things I could say about this photographer. Stephane’s professionalism and creativity were impeccable. Our photos from our engagement and wedding were stunning. Stephane was very creative and made my husband and I feel comfortable. Throughout both sessions, Stephane made sure to maximize his time with us and give us a variety of poses in a variety of locations. There is nothing I would change about my experience or my photos, and I greatly look forward to working with him again. -

In one phrase, "Stephane is amazing".
Stephane built a relationship with me and wife prior to our wedding to get to know us and our story. He was careful and patience throughout the process. We really appreciated all the support and guidance he provided while only being our photographer. I felt like we could rely on him for wedding advice. For example, he recommended a specific DJ that really made our wedding come together into a great event that our families still talk about to this day. Stephane is amazing photographer and captures moments beautifully. He is professional and handled our family taking pictures with grace.
For our wedding album, we trusted him to design and organization of our special photos and we are glad we did. I appreciated that he captured my late mother in our photos and organized the book as a timeline of events during our wedding day.
I would definitely recommend Stephane to anyone who wants a professional, amazing, and experienced wedding photographer.
Thanks Stephane for making our special day that much more special. -

It can be difficult to plan a wedding from thousands of miles away, which is why we were so fortunate to have found Stephane to photograph our wedding day. From our very first FaceTime introduction, we immediately felt comfortable with him - like a long lost friend! It was clear from the start that he genuinely cared about us and our story as a couple. His professionalism, ideas, and planning were exactly what we needed in a photographer.
The photos themselves were spectacular and breathtaking. Stephane really captures how people are part of an environment, whether it be indoors or outside, which was especially important to us given the setting for our wedding. He was very flexible throughout the process in terms of incorporating our thoughts and ideas, and that made taking photos exciting and fun! His landscapes, bright, crisp colors, and angles make every photo a dream. We recommend Stephane to any soon-to-be-married couple! -

Stephane was amazing to work with! He is professional and makes it a point to really get to know you and your significant other at a level where he wants to capture the true moments on your special day. We live in Chicago, IL and wanted our engagement session here! He made it happen! On the day of our wedding it really felt like we had a friend with us to capture the special moments. He’s detailed, and when he has a vision you just have to let him have it ... Trust me you will not be disappointed! -

He needs to be your wedding photographer. Stephane is so patient, genuinely kind, and understanding. He thinks, speaks, and works in an artistic way that is unique to him. As soon as you see his photographs, you’ll understand.
We did not look any further than Stephane Lemaire Photography for our wedding photos. He was the first person we spoke to and met with 2 weeks after my husband and I got engaged!! In fact, our whole wedding date was based on his availability during the month we wanted to get married.
Stephane listens so patiently. My husband and I had zero ideas. He was able to listen to us, see how we interacted with one another, during our first meeting. Every Bride has a Pinterest board full of ideas for poses, props, and whatnot. The special thing about Stephane is that HE can make it happen and it will be in a way that is unique to your love.
Our photographs are stunning.
Our photos show love, laughter, and everything from our special night! It was hard for us to be everywhere, but Stephane and his assistant were!
Photos are forever. We are very blessed and thankful to have and be able to share our beautiful photographs.
Thank you Stephane, for everything. -

So I don’t even know where to begin, there’s so much good to Stephane that I don’t have the words to perfectly express what a great photographer he was. The beginning process of meeting him to me was so smart and amazing. If you don’t click with your photographer, your pictures just won’t be the same. He interviews us, basically an about ourselves and we just connected. He flew all the way to Dallas to take our engagement photos and it was just amazing. He’s so good at creating his vision and we felt very comfortable. Wedding day was amazing, I see my pictures so many times a day because they just come to life, they aren’t posed they are just captured in the perfect moment as they should be. He’s amazing, and for some expensive, but please understand these are your FOREVER MEMORIES! it was worth every single penny and if I could just get married again to rehire him I would, obviously with my husband all over again lol! Hire him, you will absolutely not regret it. -

Working with Stephane was a revelation. From the very beginning, he brought a most unique blend of professionalism, tirelessness, kindness and perseverance to deliver a product of unmatched quality. He established a strong rapport right away with us, and communicated his goals, while also listening to us deeply. He flew in for our engagement shoot to Minneapolis, and by the time he had met us had completed comprehensive research and scouting to discover the best possible locations.
The day of our engagement shoot was taken over by a huge blizzard that rendered streets impassable. Stephane and his assistant Dulce were not deterred, and still drove us to the chosen spots and encouraged us in the freezing cold to take photographs. Even as my fiancée and I were fading due to tiredness, he kept encouraging us to keep going, resulting in some truly spectacular shots.
On our wedding day, again, his professionalism and drive was incomparable—they literally did not rest for one moment as they clicked away capturing every single aspect of our day. He had our photos to us much quicker than anticipated. We were just stunned at how well composed, thoughtful, detail oriented and colorful they were. Every shot appeared to capture the true essence of or day. Some of them are pure works of art.
We are not exaggerating when we say that working with Stephane is the best decision you will make on your wedding day--he is a genius.

When planning our wedding my then fiancé and I sat down and discussed what was most important to us. As many of you know, weddings are expensive and all the details involved add up very quickly ! So at the top of our list was hiring a good photographer, a great DJ for the reception and planning a nice honeymoon. You spend months sometimes even years planning your wedding day which really only lasts 13 hours. But when it’s all said and done, the one thing you actually walk away with are the pictures from that special day. For that reason, we felt that it was crucial to find an amazing photographer to capture the most important day of our lives. We were referred to Stephane Lemaire from a friend of mine that used him for her own wedding. After meeting with multiple photographers and even doing an engagement session with another photographer we knew Stephane was the perfect match once we met him. He welcomed us into his home for a meeting to not only discuss his pricing and variety of packages but to actually get to know us. This was one of the first things that set him apart from other photographers. He was genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple and hearing our love story. From what I remember, our first meeting took almost 3 hours because he wanted to know all about our lives. He showed us his work by presenting us with wedding albums of other couples and a slide show. We instantly felt a connection to Stephane, he was friendly, laid back but also confident in his work and very professional. One of my husband’s frustrations when meeting multiple photographers was that most of them were self taught or someone who just picked up photography as a “hobby”. Not trying to knock anybody who decides to pick up photography as a hobby but many of them were not very good with their editing and their poses seemed cliche. They used the same locations, same poses and everything looked staged. Every album and couple had the same pictures. Not to mention they seemed over priced for what you were getting. On the other hand, Stephane had credentials, formal training and actually studied photography. His photography was not your every day picture. Every shot was unique, candid and it seemed like he really captured the theme of each wedding. No pose or style was repeated, he made every wedding look different. Stephane was confident and very organized. Hiring him was a big investment and he took the job seriously. He was incredible from start to finish. He made us feel very comfortable during our engagement session offering guidance here and there but he mostly just let us do our thang. He encouraged us to include props or anything that was meaningful to our relationship. He wanted to capture it. We felt completely comfortable with Stephane and had lots of fun working with him. Not to mention, he also provided us with information on other local vendors such as make up artists, hair dressers, and DJs. Which was super helpful when you are new to the wedding industry. Prior to the wedding day, he had us fill out a questionnaire pertaining to our family members, the wedding party and what were “priority” pictures that we wanted taken. On the wedding day, he arrived early, was completely stress free and worked behind the scenes. Looking at our pictures there were so many moments he captured that I didn’t even realize he was there for. He created a gorgeous wedding album for us that we will have for the rest of our lives. We were able to pick the material used, the box it would be stored in and the aesthetic details but Stephane designed the spreads that displayed one of our happiest days. He was flexible throughout the entire process and we knew we could count on him. His beautiful photography now decorates the walls in our home. We have shots of our engagement session and wedding portraits hung throughout our home serving as a constant reminders of such a special time in our lives.
I can’t say enough good things about Stephane. If you hire him, I promise you that you won’t regret it. -

Without a doubt, Stephane is the most talented, professional, and genuine wedding photographer out there! I had first heard of Stephane while trying on dresses for the big day and later came across his portfolio while looking for a photographer. His work was exquisite and immediately I knew we had to have him for our special day.
My husband and I were initially quite nervous to meet with such a professional photographer, however, we quickly bonded with Stephane. He really took the time to get to know us and was open to hearing our vision and plans for the wedding. Together we discussed his services and package options to best fit our needs, and he was well prepared to answer any questions we had. Any and all feelings of nervousness we had going into that meeting had instantly vanished. We left his place feeling relieved that we had found someone so passionate and transparent about his work.
Our engagement session was definitely an adventurous and memorable one. Since this was our first time taking professional photos, it was a bit awkward at first, but with his experience and guidance things just fell into place. He took us to several places throughout downtown. Before we knew it, we were at the very top of an old building right before sunset. It was absolutely gorgeous and such a special moment to capture us in the heart of our hometown (El Paso). His attention to detail and unique/artistic side is what makes him the absolute best!
The day of our wedding we knew things would be hectic but Stephane had given us all the best advice, from past experiences to recommendations, we knew we were in good hands. I still remember the day he sent the photos... I was ecstatic. One of the visions I had for our special day, was to be photographed in my wedding dress while breastfeeding my nine month old baby. I knew if there was going to be anybody to capture that special bond between my daughter and I, it was going to be Stephane. As expected, he delivered and reliving those timeless moments through photos had me in tears. Our wedding album means so much to the both us for obvious reasons, but more so for our daughter to have and look back on.
We definitely recommend Stephane to anyone who wants a devoted, professional photographer with an undeniable talent!
Thank you Stephane being a part of our special day! We are forever grateful. -

Cristina Sent on 11/07/2018Most amazing photography I've ever seen
Stephane is an amazing photographer! He worked so well with me and husband, we're so awkward and had never taken professional photos together. He never got frustrated with us and took really awesome engagement photos of us at a pumpkin patch and downtown. He captured such beautiful and hilarious moments during the ceremony and reception that once we received our wedding album it was just like we were reliving the whole day again. He's also very quick to respond to all emails and calls. We had a wonderful time with him as our photographer. I absolutely recommend hiring him, the quality of his work is well worth the price we paid.
I added a couple of our engagement photos to this review, but it was so hard to choose because they all look so great!
