"Stefan photographed my wedding last April and we couldn't have been happier with his work. He was exactly what we wanted; a professional photographer with a unique subtle artistic sense. He really listened to what my husband and I wanted, keeping a respectful low profile throughout the wedding, while still capturing all the joy of the day in very personal shots that my family will forever treasure. He maintained a very good balance of his own artistic sense as a photographer while also catering to our desires. I have never really been a photo person, but Stefan helped us have fun with it, especially on an extended photo shoot on the UC Berkeley campus where my husband and I met. All of Stefan's resulting pictures really show how much we were enjoying ourselves, and how relaxed we felt."

"Stefan was an absolute pleasure to work with at our wedding at Emerald Bay. His work more than exceeded our expectations and could not be more pleased to have done business with him. I don't think it's possible to be more pleased with the services he provided. Each guest individually commented to us what an awesome photographer we had and said how impressed they were with him. We enjoyed his low-key presence at the wedding and felt like he was there enough to capture the special moments but also allowed us moments in private to enjoy with each other. He does an amazing job of blending creativity with classic photography. He gave enough direction so that we were able to get great shots and poses, while having fun, and time to spend enjoy the day together. We have friends that have been married and had terrible experiences with bossy, rude photographers; Stefan is professional, fun, and has the perfect balance of presence to allow you to spend time enjoying the moments while he captures them! We WILL definitely be recommending him to anyone in search of photography for their special day!"

"I just wanted to say thank you so much. You did a wonderful job photographing our wedding. Being that I am from Chicago and I had never been to Lake Tahoe, planning a small wedding from across the country is not always that easy. I had been on the fence as to if we should even hire a photographer but I am so glad that I did. You did such a wonderful job and you are very professional and personable, many of my friends and family commented on how nice you were and just how personable and laid back you were. You did a wonderful job without being overbearing or intrusive. I have wedding photographs in our house and they are usually the first thing people look at when they come into our house! Thank you for being such a wonderful person and photographer - you really made our special day."

"Stefan captured so many incredible moments, not just on our wedding day, but of the rehearsal dinner, the BBQ two days before, and getting ready before the main event. Everyone was just blown away by the photographs. He was incredibly professional, envisioned some amazing shots, and not at all pushy like other wedding photographers I've seen. We were so thrilled to have him capture our big day."

"You were the best photographer we have ever seen, and we have seen a lot!"

"Stefan did an amazing job photographing our wedding in Lake Tahoe. He exceeded our expectations with the amount of time and effort he put forth in order to produce such wonderful pictures. Stefan captured all aspects of our wedding from preparation, to food, family pictures, and candid shots. He also did an amazing job of capturing the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe by incorporating the lake and mountains into the backdrop of our pictures. Stefan was extremely patient and professional in his work from beginning to end, always offering suggestions and accommodating when we had specific requests. We would definitely recommend choosing Stefan to preserve your wedding memories."

"Wow! We were taken aback by how great your pictures are. Originally, we had no intention of getting a wedding photographer. It's an additional expense that we are very happy to have made. Your timing was excellent in that we were able to compare your pictures with those our friends, family, and we had taken and uploaded--and there actually is no comparison. The lighting and framing of your pictures was excellent, and we really appreciated that no one was left out of the pictures. Most importantly, you managed to include everyone in the pictures--both sets of families and friends!"
