About

about

sdp weddings is photojournalistic-style wedding photographer based in Portland, Maine. Stephen's background in videography and photography give him the knowledge and skill to capture authentic moments on your big day. He has a highly developed eye and takes great joy in bringing couple's story to life through a camera.

experience

Stephen has been behind the camera since an early age. He cut his teeth working for a veteran midtown Manhattan event photographer, eventually shooting alongside his mentor, and becaming the studio manager. After several formative years at the studio, he started sdp photography and began capturing events, portraits, tv set stills, and weddings. Now residing on Munjoy Hill in Portland Maine for many years, his passion for capturing couples on their wedding day has led him up and down the coast of New England, back to New York City, and as far as Puerto Rico. Stephen loves meeting new people and creating images that capture the personalities of his subjects.

Incredible!

Steve made us feel so comfortable, all while taking the most beautiful photos we’ve ever seen. He managed to capture the energy and aesthetic of our day perfectly. Steve was somehow both discreet yet always around to capture the moments we were experiencing. We could not have asked for a better photographer!

Destination: Awesome!

Stephen was awesome! I recommend anyone in the area or way off (like me here in Tennessee) to use him! He was great with working with my very unorganized and laid back small destination wedding. The photos that were captured delivered the greatest memories from our special day! We didn’t meet until right before our ceremony, but yet he had planned and gotten enough detail beforehand that he was able to deliver the perfect portraits! To say I am pleased with his work would be an understatement! Awesome photographer!

Steve is amazing!

I am obsessive about photos so when my husband and I started planning our destination wedding in Maine, the first thing I searched for was a photographer. I wanted someone highly skilled with a fun personality that also understood our love of capturing the priceless candid moments of our day. I found Steve here, on Wedding Wire, and after browsing his images and reading his bio I was certain we had found our photographer! A phone conversation later and my Stephen (the hubby) and I thought Steve is perfect! Added bonus that his name was Stephen for some extra confusion 😂
Steve did an amazing job on our day and all of our family quickly loved him! His images....SO PERFECT! We cannot thank you enough Steve! The next trip to Maine that we take we are going to have to get with you for photos again!!!
