    Wedding Photographer Captures Brilliant Party Memories

    After reviewing Stephen's portfolio, we virtually met with Stephen to discuss our vision for photographing our wedding party. We thought he did a fantastic job capturing the venue's beauty, directing couples poses, managing family photos, and capturing all of our unique moments of our party. We especially loved the way he candidly photographed all of our wedding guests on the dance floor enjoying the night. Stephen provided the edited photos about 1 month after our event and was very responsive to any questions we sent his way. Would highly recommend!

    Book now!!!

    Like many couples--my husband and I are camera shy and NOT photogenic. Stephen proved us wrong. We just got our album back and it seems like every photo surpasses the last one. Each picture so perfectly captures our wedding and every emotion we felt as the day progressed. We could not be happier that we booked Stephen for our wedding . RUN don't walk to book Stephen for your wedding!!!

    Fantastic Wedding Photographer!!

    I hired Stephen because I loved the photos he shot from the previous wedding at the venue we were planning on getting married. Due to COVID, plans changed and Stephen was completely accommodating. We have loved the photos he took of our family only backyard wedding. He captured everything we wanted and surprised us with some photos that were above and beyond what we ever could have imagined.

    Perfectly captured magical moments

    I'm a former TV reporter, so you can imagine how PICKY I was going to be about choosing a photographer for my wedding! Stephen was perfect. My husband I wanted someone to capture the magical fleeting moments at our wedding, and he NAILED it. He melted into the background and made our guests feel super comfortable. And when we looked at the final photos, we both smiled and laughed and teared up. He perfectly captured the joy and happiness we felt on our wedding day.

    Stephen and his second photographer did such an amazing job capturing every moment of our wedding. What amazes me every time I look at our photographs, is how much more they are than just pictures. Anyone can snap a picture but it takes so much more to be able to capture the life and emotion Stephen captured in each one. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day photos, we are so lucky to have such an amazing spread of beautiful moments to treasure and allow us to relive such an incredibly wonderful time in our lives. We have received so many raving comments from our friends and family who have seen our photos about what a great job...

    I am delighted to be writing the first Wedding Wire review for Stephen Bobb. Stephen was my wedding and engagement session photographer. My now-husband and I fell in love with his work while browsing through wedding albums at our venue, Bluemont Vineyard. Stephen Bobb's photographs make you feel like you're in the room with the subject. He has an incredible eye and a distinct style. Also, he is a very nice person to work with and be around. Our wedding photos are spectacular, I highly recommend looking at his work on his photography blog. I also found the studio he works with, Love Life Images, to be very professional and helpful during my wedding planning process.

    Professional and relaxed experience!

    Stephen and his colleague Jess were top-notch professionals. From our first call with Stephen we knew that he was what we were looking for in a photographer; he was flexible, accommodating, and has a calming demeanor. While the "traditional" family/wedding photos were a must, we emphasized that we wanted to walk away with a lot of candid photos of our friends + family having a blast and being themselves. Stephen listened and based on the preview he sent us, we are pumped to see the full collection!

    We can't say enough good things about Stephen- he was wonderful to work with and captured the day so perfectly. We will always treasure our photos, especially the candid moments!

    Highly Recommend!

    Stephen was excellent! He was easy to work with throughout the whole process and the photos turned out better than we could have hoped. Stephen photographed our wedding this September. Through the planning process he was responsive and answered all of our questions. The day of, he was thoughtful and intentional and really eased into the background so it didn’t feel awkward. He even started taking photos before he walked in the door! When we got the photos back (very quickly!) it really felt like he captured the day and us, moments big and small. He also put together a beautiful slideshow which was perfect for sharing with friends and family, especially those not able to attend the wedding. We highly recommend working with Stephen for your wedding.

    Amazing Photographer

    I didn't think I needed a photographer for my wedding. I was looking for candid shots and thought these could be captured by guests. I am SO happy I found Stephen as he was able to capture poignant candid shots in a stunning way that no guests were able to do. He created a gorgeous brief slide show that captured the essence of our day. I feel so fortunate that we were able to have his talents to memorialize our wedding day!

    Simply Perfect

    Our wedding was a low key affair (courthouse with immediate family). Stephen had photographed a friend's wedding, so when we decided to hire a photographer we immediately reached out to see if he might be free. He was able to arrange his schedule to accommodate us, and we could not be happier he did. He captured so many perfect moments. The photographs are stunning, but the real genius of his work is how he manages to capture the emotions and vibe of an event. That still photographs can radiate so much joy and love is truly remarkable. Not only that, he is incredibly nice and easy to work with. Cannot recommend Stephen highly enough.

    Photographs We'll Treasure for a Lifetime

    Stephen is truly the best and we can't imagine our wedding day without him. We first met Stephen when he photographed my sister-in-law's wedding 2 years ago and reserving him for our wedding was the first and best decision we made after getting engaged. My sincere advice would be to stop searching for photographers and book Stephen!

    Stephen's photos are beyond beautiful and timeless and really capture the emotion of the day. There are SO many photos that take our breath away and each one is better than the last. While his style focuses more on the candid, in-the-moment shots, he is incredibly accommodating about grabbing every group and details shot we wanted. Stephen is a joy to...

    Exceptional; none better; look no further.

    We cannot imagine a better wedding photographer exists. Stephen Bobb listened to and delivered exactly what we wanted. He was everywhere without ever being intrusive or taking away from any moment. His traditional and artistic/creative photographs help us re-enjoy our wedding and see how much our guests did too. Communication was prompt, clear, constructive, interactive, stress-free. He is a pro in every sense. I am a tough customer (high standards, expectations) and knew within minutes of our initial meeting he was "it" for us. And on our wedding day, he brought focus and calm to our pre-ceremony photos, making the experience feel like just my fiancé and i were there; and he captured aspects of our ceremony and reception...

    A Wonderful Experience

    Stephen Bobb's tagline is "joyful photography," and that's exactly right. Our wedding photos captured the emotion and fun of the day, and we really appreciate his eye for artistic, memorable, and timeless shots. When we first visited his website, we were both surprised that looking at strangers' photos made us feel so emotional. His work is really special.

    From start to finish, Stephen was a joy to work with. He went the extra mile, including conspiring on a mini dog portrait session so that I could surprise my husband with a life-sized cardboard cutout at the wedding. Our wedding week had some unexpected twists, and day of we arrived on site about an hour late, a little harried....

    Couldn't be happier!!!

    Stephen is fantastic! Not only does he take beautiful pictures, he's incredibly easy to work with a pleasure to be around on a day filled with emotion. He managed to be everywhere yet was never obtrusive. He scouted out terrific locations for shots and has a well-developed eye. He captured every moment of our daughter's wedding. A true professional, we give him the highest possible recommendation.

    Stephen did the photos for our wedding, and we loved his work so much that we wanted to have him back 5 years later to photograph our daughter’s milestone event. The event was in 2 parts -- first in my parents’ home, and then a lunch for a large crowd. Stephen is friendly and a gentleman, and there is no one else I would want among my family and friends to record the intimate, important moments in our lives.

    And the photos! He caught every great moment I saw, and many I didn’t. Stephen took all his photos without ever getting in the way. Somehow he managed to never intrude, but always be in a great spot....

    Stephen was amazing! I’m writing this review 3 years after our wedding... so I feel it is imperative to specify how significant that is. It means his photographs illicit the memories of our special day, they captured not just a catalog of events, but the mood and emotion. We chose Stephen because we didn’t want the cliche staged photos, we wanted something more raw and real. His photos years later remind us of exact conversations and moments throughout our wedding. Also, I’ll note we did a surprise wedding (everyone thought it was just the engagement party) and Stephen did a phenomenal job capturing the experience as our guests realized the truth. I would have paid anything for the quality photos we received, but Stephen’s prices are more than reasonable.

    We just got our photos back and WOW we are so very happy with how they turned out. I had initially reached out to Eli Turner for wedding photos and he recommended Stephen Bobb. We had met with several other photographers that just didn't have what we wanted--their photos felt stiff and staged and sad. We didn't want a videographer so we wanted a photographer that really captured all the moments of the day/night. Stephen did just that and was also an absolute pleasure to work with! I'm trying to decide now which photos to have printed and there are SO many good ones I don't even know where to begin!!

    We wish we could give Stephen 5,000 stars! He was fantastic to work with from the beginning of our wedding planning process, to shooting our engagement photos, to helping us organize all the photos we wanted taken at our wedding, through the wedding day itself. We knew our wedding photos would be absolutely stunning after seeing our gorgeous engagement photos, but we were still blown away by his ability to capture pure moments of joy and all the other emotions expressed on our, our family’s, and our guests’ faces throughout the night. All of our family and friends have said they’ve never seen such beautiful wedding photos, a sentiment with which we resoundingly agree. Not only are the photos...

    Stephen was great! He showed up early, stayed late, and beautifully captured the entire day. He knew just where to be at just the right time, yet was hardly noticeable and never got in the way. Best of all, the composition of the images was breathtaking. Some of the photos brought me tears of joy!

    Stephen worked with our budget and provided exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend him.

    Stephen captured our wedding day perfectly! His photos have so much life and emotion in them; I almost feel like I am watching a video of the day when I flip through. I highly recommend Stephen to any bride or groom-to-be who is looking for an amazing photographer! From start to finish, he's been a joy to work with. Thank you, Stephen! I truly hope to work with you in the future!

    Stephen was so great to work with. He was easy to contact with any questions that arose and already had a working knowledge of our venue which was extremely helpful since we were planning from out of town. Neither my husband nor I are super comfortable in front of the camera but Stephen immediately put us at ease and captured so many stunning pictures of our wedding. We are thrilled with how all of our photos turned out and have received rave reviews from our family and friends as well!

    Stephen, and his assistant, Erin, were fabulous! From our first meeting right up to the delivery of the photos, Stephen was professional, responsive & knowledgeable. He was unobtrusive throughout the entire evening, yet he/they were everywhere capturing every moment whether it was the formal portraits or candid shots. And the results were spectacular! So natural & thoughtful & beautiful & celebratory! Stephen was able to beautifully capture the joy & emotion of the ceremony and the reception. The artistry of the photos definitely had that "wow" factor. All those who have seen the initial slideshow have come away with tears. Stephen has provided our family with so many beautiful visual memories of a very special day. Stephen & Erin, we are so grateful for your role in Carey & Jerald's wedding.

    Stephen and his assistant/partner Erin were all over the place in a good way. From the photos of my wife and her bridesmaids getting ready to me and my groomsmen laughing it up, they were there for every shot. They captured so much emotion from the evening and this is one instance where pictures can really tell you how the entire night went. I loved how he gave us very little direction when taking our couple shots. He let us be us and really let our love shine through and it shows through our photos. Last but not least the reception photos were so amazing. He captured the emotional speeches and the moments on the dance floor so seamlessly.
