Steve's first love of photography came while taking a photography course at St. Francis College. During this time, Steve bought his first professional camera and began taking pictures of downtown Fort Wayne for class projects. At St. Francis, Steve quickly realized that he preferred seeing the world through a viewfinder instead of being in the lab. In 2004, Steve joined the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) Association. This is a professional Association for photographers worldwide to join in order to gain knowledge and expertise from the best in the industry. In early spring of most years, Steve and Sara participate in the largest WPPI conference for wedding and portrait photographers. The conference is held in Las Vegas and offers a variety of speakers, classes, print and album judging and the biggest Trade Show of the year. During this time, we divide and conquer to maximize all the conference has to offer and come back to Indiana armed with new poses, backgrounds and tons of ideas to put into place throughout the year. In 2005, Steve and Sara moved themselves and their business to Leo and transformed a building on their property into a photography studio that is unique to this area (see studio page of the website). They are one of the most successful husband and wife teams in the greater Fort Wayne area as evidenced by the amazing amount of referrals received for wedding, senior and family portraits. Their style of photography is youthful, creative and fun! Together, they create a dynamic team to capture the images you will cherish forever. Steve and Sara reside in Northeast Allen County along with their cat/dog Marvin and Harrison.
With the help of our colleague, Steve Noble, from McIntosh Studio in Cleveland, OH, we have included a few pictures to show us in “action” and going to Plan B on a raining Saturday afternoon. This particular Bride and Groom planned to go to Lakeside Park for pictures with the wedding party, but were chased indoors because of the rain. We quickly went into action, Plan B… making a visit to our Studio. At the studio, we were able to finish up pictures with the entire wedding party and do all the formals of the Bride and Groom together. With all of this, we were still able to stay on the timeline and get everyone to the reception with time to spare. Not to mention, we even got a few outside pictures between the rain drops. Like they say… it is good luck if it rains on your wedding day.
Steve uses Nikon equipment for all photo shoots in the studio and offsite. In the studio, his favorite pick is the D200 although he is currently breaking in the newest camera, a Nikon D300. He continues to keep up with the photography industry so that he has the very best equipment. |
