About Stephen
I’m a photographer focused on capturing people as they are — with a calm, straightforward approach that helps every session feel natural.
I started photography back in high school at 17—honestly, I just needed an art credit to graduate. But the first time I picked up a film camera and got to shoot outside, I was hooked. Since then, photography has stuck with me, and it’s become the one space where I feel the most like myself.
After college, I earned my degree in photography from Daytona State. Ever since, I’ve been working with all kinds of people—capturing weddings, portraits, branding photos, and events—always trying to bring out who they really are through my lens.
My style is relaxed, focused, and real. I’m not loud, but I’m present. I keep things chill during shoots so my clients can feel at ease. I talk when I need to, guide gently, and bring calm energy that helps people open up and just be themselves.
What matters most to me is that people walk away feeling good about their experience—and proud of how they’re seen. Whether you're planning your wedding, celebrating family, or telling your brand story, I’m here to help you feel comfortable and seen.

My Husband and I are in love with the final results of Stephen’s work from our recent wedding session with him. Stephen was not only organized, communicative, and professional… he was FLEXIBLE! The flexibility came in huge day of when we were behind schedule and so many things changed last minute. Our day was beautiful and Stephen was able to capture some amazing shots for us to remember our special day. I would highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a photo shoot of any kind. Thanks again Stephen, we appreciated doing business with you!

My whole family LOVED this wedding photoshoot. it was professional but not stiff and uptight. He knew how to position us for all the wedding pictures which was great because we had no idea what we were doing! My husband and i had an amazing time with our couples photos as well, He was just the right amount of lighthearted and professional.

He is amazing! We easily set up our time and place for the photos, he was prompt, he took time with every shot, and has been super helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Stephen did an incredible job capturing my family including a rambunctious toddler and an infant! He was patient and calm and fun to work with. Thank you so much for the treasures that you have created for our family!

Huge crowds...Check. Sporadic rain...Check. Christmas lights at night...Check. Stephen worked through all these to help my engagement photos go off without a hitch. This December I decided to propose to my girlfriend at the night of light's event in St Augustine. FL. Little did i know , I picked the busiest night of the year for the area! Crowds were everywhere and there was even a parade of boats covered in Christmas lights. Despite the challenges, Stephen stayed in constant contact, gave helpful suggestions and brought an assistant to help manage the crowd. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to plan their special moment (or for any moment where a photographer is needed really!)

I connected with Stephen to have pictures done for my side gig doing singing telegrams with Grateful Greetings. I was getting ready to introduce an elite mermaid character so I wanted the photos to be of the best quality and representation for my business that I could get. Stephen made time for me on short notice to provide a fully detailed explanation of options and pricing during our consultation. I did not have prior modeling experience; but on the day of the photoshoot, Stephen exhibited patience and wisdom to guide my positions and delicately assist me with my wardrobe change. Overall, the entire session was so much fun and I felt like the most beautiful lil mermaid in all of Palm Coast. The pictures were delivered in a timely manner and look absolutely fantastic! Stephen really captured the elegant and playful side that I was hoping for. I look forward to doing more photoshoots with him in the future.
