Stephen was one of the best choices we made as far as vendors. When I first saw his website I immediately knew he was the photographer I wanted. His style is so creative and he gets these magnificent scenic shots. Also when I told him our wedding party size (which was small), instead of up-selling me he suggested a shorter time-period which cost us less money. He was so kind and professional and made sure we got shots we wanted as well as shots we didn't know we wanted.
Our pictures turned out breath-taking. He was perfect. I would definitely choose him over and over again! I feel so lucky that Stephen was there to capture so many special moments on our wedding day!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Stephen Dohring, He was our photographer for our wedding at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach. He came highly recommended by the resort and they were certainly right! Stephen knew the resort very well and knew exactly where to take the most perfect pictures. Stephen spent the day with us, capturing incredible moments from start to finish. Stephen has great attention to detail and an amazing eye for photography.
You can tell that he truely loves his job. I knew when planning the wedding, that the photographer was the most important vendor to me because pictures last a lifetime. I could not be happier with Stephen's work and I am so happy to have these fantastic images to look back on for the rest of our lives. Our sunset pictures are breathtaking and I can't believe that its actually us in these pictures. They look like they belong in a magazine. We are so glad that we chose Stephen as our photographer and we would recommend him to everyone!
