What makes SSS Studio different?
Experience. Calming presence. Quality work. Personal care.
Experience matters. Scott and his team have photographed hundreds of weddings. With 20 years in the business, Scott has seen almost everything. You can relax, knowing he has a proven record of creating timeless photos with beautiful lighting and color, no matter the weather. Scott and his team stay calm and prepared, which helps couples feel comfortable on their big day. He keeps to the schedule, captures great photos, makes sure the lighting is just right, and helps ease any nerves. Over the years, Scott has seen wedding trends come and go, so he relies on his formal training to create classic images that last. He blends documentary and editorial styles, making sure your wedding feels natural and not staged. Scott works to balance the day with a mix of candid and posed images. When you look at his photos, the difference is clear: group shots with light in the subjects' eyes, sweet images of couples with perfect light, and candid moments captured beautifully. The difference in working with Scott starts before the wedding day, as he learns about you and your goals, and it continues after the day is over. Scott works hard to make sure every wedding client gets the attention they deserve, so we only take on a limited number of weddings. This gives Scott time to get to know you, care about your details, and create true heirlooms because he is invested in your special day.
“I feel honored and humbled every time I walk into someone’s wedding. I work hard to get to know clients and their families so that their experience is authentic and they are calm on their big day. I have photographed hundreds of weddings and I remember every single time the feeling of marrying my wife and the gratitude I felt on that day. I strive to create magic photos without making the day a photoshoot. I take pride in creating vibrant and properly exposed images that capture the essence of every wedding. With over twenty years of experience in wedding photography, I have witnessed various style trends come and go. As a result, I choose to steer clear of the current popular trend of washed-out, overly filtered wedding photos. My ideal clients are those who appreciate timeless images that stand out and serve as evocative heirlooms to document their wedding story.”
