Stephen Mayo Photography

Lead Photographer

I started my business to provide a different experience. This is your wedding, your day, your story. I document couples by getting to know them, providing value based on my experience, and capturing authentic moments throughout their wedding. By understanding each couple, learning about their story and listening to what their dreams are about their wedding, I want to give them an exceptional wedding photography experience. I want you to enjoy every moment of your wedding, and I want to provide you with honest, compelling, emotional, and romantic imagery that will bring you joy every time you look at the images.

We provide a fully customized, boutique level service. By understanding your vision, we are able to deliver images that exceed expectations while you enjoy your day. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and often, couples don't know where to begin. We work to provide stunning imagery, and in addition, we provide an amazing resource throughout the months we work with couples. Our experience has helped us become an incredible resource, and we share our experiences. We are here for you throughout the entire process.

    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!

    Stephen is wonderful as a person, and as a photographer. We really did not have any concerns when booking with him. We did our engagement shoot with him and our photos came out so beautifully, so we knew our wedding photos would be exceptional. From the time that we booked with Stephen to the wedding day, he was always in contact with us, whether it was to answer our questions or to send little tips, suggestions, and reminders about the wedding day, he was always so easy to get in contact with. On the wedding day, he let me know when he was on his way to the venue, and he arrived early to scout out the best places for us to have our first look and to take family photos. He always confirmed with us before taking pictures or choosing a background for our photos. He’d give us options of where we wanted to take pictures and he’d ask us if we wanted more photos of just us. It was obvious that he wanted us to have exactly what we wanted and that he cared about us getting as many photos as we could. He does a great job at posing you or telling you to make minor adjustments, so that you can look as natural as possible, while also looking your best. He was truly a pleasure to work with and his photos really do come out beautifully. We hope to work with him again in the future!

    Stephen is an incredible photographer and we are so glad we chose him to capture our wedding day! From the moment I contacted him he made it clear that he was there for us and would do what he can to make our day perfect, and he absolutely delivered on that! From start to finish he provided great support, reassurance, and constant communication. The previews I've seen of our photos so far are amazing and we can't wait to see them all! We highly recommend Heritage House Photography to anyone looking for a photographer for the special moments in their lives.
