    Steve did our wedding in October 2024 and has been working with us since we got engaged August 2023. Steve has captured all of our special moments and has been there for us through the entire process. Steve's photos are magical! Steve has a way to capture natural loving moments in a way that others simply can't. He is patient, responsive and made us feel calm and happy through our whole special day! He is a master at making a wedding timeline and was punctual and on point for it all. Our day moved so smoothly. We are so happy we found Steve and would recommend him to all!

    Stephen is an extremely creative and talented photographer and his work is absolutely beautiful. Obviously that was important to us, but that’s not even the main reason we hired him. We chose Stephen because of all the other things he does well, in addition to the nice photography, that made our life easier during the most hectic times of planning our wedding. We were impressed with Stephen from our very first meeting. From the early planning stages through the day of our wedding, he was always helpful, friendly, honest with his creative opinions and advice, incredibly professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was always available to us through email, phone or text if we ever had a question and he was in constant contact with us along the planning journey sending us helpful emails and planning tips. We have nothing negative to say, Stephen was the best! And as one of the most important vendors at our wedding, we couldn’t be happier that we chose him.

    There are no words to truly describe how amazing it was to work with Stephen. I My family has worked with big name, Long Island brands, and he blows them out of the park. His calm demeanor and professionalism were amazing. It felt like we were the only client he had, know he had many more, based on how much time and effort he focused on us. He went above and beyond to make our engagement photos and wedding everything we could have wanted and more. He’s the only person I would recommend moving forward.

    We first met Stephen at the Long Island Bridal Expo at Nassau Colosseum early into our wedding planning process in 2023. We stopped at his booth for more information and we instantly clicked. We scheduled a meeting with him and agreed to work with him right away. I don’t have the words to describe Stephen. He was extremely helpful every step of the way. Every few months he would send us emails that helped immensely with planning our wedding. Every time we had a question for him, he would answer right away. We had an engagement shoot included in our package which we really wanted to do in Montauk where my husband proposed. We threw the idea at Stephen and he was down for it. We met him out there and he spent hours taking our pictures, teaching us the correct ways to pose, and guiding us through the whole thing. My husband and I felt so comfortable, like we were with a friend. The experience is one we will never forget. Even a week before our wedding, we planned to get all our pictures done before cocktail hour and when our venue told us we could only arrive 2 hours before the ceremony (we thought we had more time, I texted Stephen in a panic and he called me within minutes and gave me options and explained how our photos would go which calmed me down a lot. The whole wedding went smooth and he planned every single photo to the t. Our timeline was easy to understand and follow. Danielle (his second photographer) and Kayla (Stephen’s assistant) were amazing! They all work so well together and make a phenomenal team. All our family, friends, and guests complemented him and the way he worked! It took the normal amount of time to get our photos back. He emailed us right away and we set up a meeting for the reveal. We went to his house, he displayed our pictures and made a little slideshow. I cried. No words can explain how amazing it was. He then spent 2 hours with us planning every page of our album, rearranging pictures, and giving his professional opinion but also giving us complete freedom on deciding what we wanted on each page. Again, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend. I would truly and whole heartedly recommend Stephen to everyone. His work speaks for itself. The quality of the pictures are stunning and he captures every emotion. I look back at our photos and can’t help but smile and tear up every time. Heritage House Photography is the way to go! Thank you Stephen from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to work with you again in the future!
