    Our favorite vendor!

    Steph from Saltwater Studios was 100% our favorite wedding vendor to work with. She was recommended by our venue and we loved the natural, vintage, boho feel of her photos. We did our engagement shoot at Coorsons inlet in Ocean City and the photos literally look like we’re in the Caribbean.

    Leading up to our big day, we loved that we had already met and wouldn’t feel so awkward in front of the camera with a stranger - I definitely recommend doing your engagement photos or save the date photos with her for this reason too!

    Steph accommodated our changing timeline like 3x in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She was patient with my entire family, and even better with the kids 5yrs and younger! We love love loved working with her and got our photos back within 2 weeks, so woke up on our honeymoon one morning to a link of over 1k photos. What a delight!!! She is seriously a magician!

    My only regret is not booking them for videography too!

    Dream team of photographers and videographers!

    Saltwater Studios is the real deal in wedding photography and videography! We loved working with them - from the start they were a breeze, helping us plan out photos and video around the city for our big day! On the day-of, they were punctual and helped guide us through step-by-step. They went above in beyond in helping us navigate different groups at the venue and even pitched in to help make the day a success. They are incredible at what they do and wonderful to work with - we can't recommend them enough!

    Photos that capture every moment!

    Steph and Brent are the dream team! They work so well together and make you and others in your photos feel relaxed and comfortable. Everyone was so impressed with how well they shot the day and how fantastic they were to work with! Steph and Brett shoot so quickly and do not miss a beat! The photos are just stunning. Truly gorgeous! I opened our album and my jaw dropped. And that was exactly the reaction I was hoping for! Every single one of our precious, special moments were captured and for that, we are so thankful! We can't wait to see the video!!

    100% recommend

    I would absolutely, 100% recommend Steph! We hired Steph for both our engagement photos, and for our wedding photos on 10/23/21 in Cape May, NJ. First of all, Steph makes you feel totally at ease with her funny and bubbly personality - my husband and I were initially nervous to be photographed during our engagement shoot, but felt totally comfortable after about 2 minutes of hanging out with Steph, and the photos turned out amazing and really captured our personalities. Then during our wedding, our wedding party and families adored Steph and could not stop raving about how amazing she was throughout the day and how she was never intrusive but still captured such candid and fun shots! She has a way of making you feel so special and that really shines through in her photos. My husband and I, family and friends were totally blown away by the final wedding photos Steph delivered (in just 3 weeks after our wedding!). Steph is SO talented - I really cannot recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed booking Saltwater Studios. Thank you, Steph!!! :)

    Amazing experience with Saltwater Studios

    Look no further for your wedding photographer & videographer because Saltwater Studios is the best of the best! Steph & Brent are not only masters of their craft, they are hands down the best people you will ever meet. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and make it so much fun, it’s like working with your oldest friends. Steph & Brent were truly angels on my wife and I’s wedding day (9/4/21)! Not only did they take unbelievable photos and video with impeccable attention to detail, they went above and beyond to make sure the whole day was perfect! From helping bustle my wife's dress, ensuring my veil was perfect, making sure the day ran smoothly, and just supporting my wife and I in literally anything we needed, I cannot thank them enough for all they did. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them, and will forever support this company!! We love you Saltwater Studios! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Perfect Spring Wedding

    My cousin used Saltwater for her wedding and I just loved Steph and her whole process. My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding twice due to COVID and luckily Steph and team were available for our new dats and through the whole process of rescheduling, Steph was so helpful and sweet! Our wedding day was more than we ever could have imagined and Steph captured every magical moment!

    Absolutely the best

    Words cannot express how amazing this duo is. Steph and Brent were incredible to work with... their artistic ability is second to none. Our final highlight film was above and beyond our highest expectations...we are so happy to have found them as they captured our wedding day so perfectly.

    I don't even know where to begin when it comes to reviewing Steph and Brent as our wedding photographer/cinematographer. Photos felt like the most important part of the day to me--the only thing that I would be able to keep after the party was all done. I ended up with Saltwater Studios after a very thorough search and 20+ phone calls with various other photo teams. From the first phone call with Steph, I knew I could trust her with the job. Since we didn't do an engagement shoot with them, we first met the morning of the wedding--and we were fast friends! When recommending Saltwater Studios to other friends and family, I often describe how it hardly felt like I was in a structured photo shoot. It felt more like I was walking around the venue, taking fun photos with my friends. I didn't feel bad about the time missed at cocktail hour to take portraits and group shots because I had such a blast taking the photos! Needless to say, the photos came out GORGEOUS--simple yet elegant, with beautiful lighting. I love that Steph and Brent were able to capture the necessary portraits and group shots, and everything else in between were beautiful moments and candids that we will treasure forever. I would not change a thing about my photographer choice, and would recommend Saltwater Studios to any bride looking for natural, stunning photos!

    Thank You Steph + Brent!

    A few weeks after getting engaged, I luckily stumbled across a wedding video from Saltwater Studios featured on Style Me Pretty that stopped me in my tracks. It was shot so beautifully, using both film and digital and edited so creatively and purposefully with the background song that I KNEW I needed to hire Steph + Brent for my own wedding. We carefully chose a dream team of vendors, all of whom were incredibly talented husband/wife teams and Steph + Brent were no exception. They’re so down-to-earth, easy to communicate with and passionate about their work, it was no surprise that they were a calming, professional presence during our wedding day. They captured the day so beautifully it’s hard for me to get through our footage without crying. And our highlight real exceeded our wildest expectations - thank you both for everything!!!

    There are not enough words for me to say how amazing Steph and Brent are! First off, they make you feel like you have known them forever, they are genuinely kind and wonderful people. From the very beginning, with our engagement photos, we knew we had chosen the right photographer. Steph truly has a gift for capturing beautiful moments. We knew that our wedding photos would be gorgeous because of how beautiful our engagement photos turned out, however we were still absolutely floored not only with how STUNNING the wedding photos were, but also with how MANY photos there were (over 900)! I still look through the photos daily! We are still waiting on our video (we just got married on 9/9/17), but I wanted to share my review now because I know the video will be perfect and because I highly recommend Steph and Brent if you are looking for a wedding photographer who perfectly captures all of the moments of the day.

    Hiring Saltwater Studios was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding. From the moment we meet Stephaine, we knew we’d be completely comfortable in front of the camera with her. Our wedding day was a cloudy, windy, rainy day in Cape May, and all I wanted was beach photos. We quickly took wedding party photos on the beach, then sent everyone back inside while we stayed on the beach for our portraits. The photos of me and my husband on the stormy beach are my absolute favorite shots from that day.

    Steph went above and beyond her duties as our photographer. She recommended a number of other vendors she trusted. They all turned out to be just as fabulous as her. And when my mom couldn’t figure out how to my bustle my dress, Steph jumped in and found a needle and thread and sewed it up so I could dance!

    I am beyond thrilled with the job that Steph did. I would use her again, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a romantic, laid back, natural vibe for their photos.

    Stephanie and Brent were absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment I contacted them, they were so nice, professional, and returned every email in record breaking time over the year of planning. : ) When it came to our wedding day, Steph and Brent felt like we knew them forever! They truly put my Husband and I at ease. We felt like we truly got to be in the moment and enjoy our whole day because they felt more like friends along our side than Photographers and Videographers. We cannot wait to see the finished product of our video, but we know it will be amazing! If you are wondering if you should book a Videographer for your big day, contact Saltwater Studios and your mind will be made up! We love you Steph and Brent!

    Endless thanks to this company for capturing our day so perfectly. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Stephanie to be our photographer. When it came time to make our album, we had such a hard time narrowing down our shots because there were so many beautiful ones to choose from! And not only did our pictures turn out beautifully, Stephanie also went above and beyond that day helping me with my veil/bustle and driving me to my first look when our limo did not show up! All totally unexpected and SO appreciated. She is truly wonderful and we really loved having her as part of our day. Also check out Saltwater's Photobooth called "The Good Vibes Booth"- it was a huge hit with our guests.

    If I could give Saltwater Studios 10 stars I would. To me, the photos are one of the most important parts of the wedding- it is the way that you remember the day, which everyone knows goes by so quickly. Steph and Brent- a married photo/video duo- were so so so unbelievably wonderful. She answered my millions of texts and phone calls, even if they had nothing to do with photos or video. Our photos turned out better than I ever could have dreamed. She and Brent were so unobtrusive. They captured everything without being in your face the whole day. I honestly could go on and on about them. They are so unbelievably sweet and personable. They captured the style of our wedding perfectly. They are so talented. I recommend Saltwater Studios for any type of event.

    I cannot say enough good things about having Stephanie be part of our wedding in Stone Harbor, NJ on June 21. She was so easy to work with and really felt like she became part of our family. She provided great support during our planning process which really made us feel like we had found the right person to work with.
    And the best part is along with how great a person she is her photos are exquisite. Everything goes by in such a rush on your wedding day but I can truely say I can relive every moment with Stephanies photos. She is truely gifted.
    I wanted to get married all over again just so I can have her there getting all the special moments! Thank you again Stephanie.

    When we started our search for a wedding photographer, we simultaneously learned about cinema and the photojournalist style of wedding videos. Saltwater Studios had EVERYthing we were in search of -- for BOTH photo and cinema! Steph was a dream to work with, especially throughout the year leading up to our wedding day, and on the day itself. She has such a personable, calm, and focused way about her. Brent is consistently behind the scenes capturing our day, and we barely even noticed he was there filming the whole time. He has such a unique and talented style for telling the story of our wedding day, from the littlest detail to the major events. Working with Steph and Brent was an absolute joy! Response time and attentiveness were unrivaled. Our thousands of beautiful photos were edited in such a professional and timely manner. Music choices, voice-overs, creative screens, and effects were matched up terrifically for our film. We will always have our albums and our special film to treasure, thanks to Steph and Brent of Saltwater Studios. This is a wedding day decision you CERTAINLY won't regret....Definitely one of our favorite decisions we made!

    Stephanie and Brett went above and beyond our expectations! From the moment I met them, I knew that they were going to film and photograph our wedding! Stephanie and Brett always always makes you feel so comfortable and happy because of their warm and genuine personalities, which captures the best pictures and video of being in the moment which is very important to me. I had a total of 24 people in my bridal party, and she had complete control over getting everyone situated where they had to be to create the best photos. The video that Brett captured was outstanding and brought tears of happiness, i'm so happy I have it to look back on all of our beautiful moments from that day. The editing of the pictures is by far the best i've seen. So professional and clear. I can't be any happier with Stephanie and Brett....i'm so happy they were part of our day!

    We had the opportunity to work with Stephanie as our photographer for our wedding this summer in Philadelphia. She was a pleasure to work with. We interviewed several other photographers, and when we met with Stephanie, her work spoke for itself! She was very easy to work as we put our contract in place and was extremely professional. On our wedding day, she put my mind at ease by arriving early. Her pleasant personality was well-received, and she interacted well with all of our guests. She delivered our pictures, as promised and on time, according to our contract. I would very highly recommend Stephanie's work.

    Saltwater Studios was a fantastic choice for both my video and photography needs.

    Saltwater did both my engagement photo shoot and then all the photography on my big day. They were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and I was very happy with my pictures and video.

    What I received after my June wedding was a website with all of my pictures. The selection was great and there were so many. The shots captured were perfect and every small event withing my ceremony and reception was photographed. The film was also very well put together. I got a dvd with an 8-10 minute highlight of everything and then a menu that all the key points of my wedding. It was very organized and my family enjoyed watching it and remembering the day.

    Saltwater Studios is reliable, talented and priced fairly. I was very happy with everything.

    Stephanie is great. She was so patient, so accommodating, and so reasonable throughout the whole process, from our first meeting to the big day itself. And of course, she's an extremely talented photographer (check out her website - the photos speak for themselves!). I highly recommend her to other brides-on-a-budget. You'll be impressed.

    Stephanie is an amazingly talented photographer who runs her business professionally. She was able to capture the excitement and joy of our wedding day with photographs better than we could have imagined. We felt comfortable with Stephanie from the beginning and had a great time during our engagement shoot. She gave great direction for poses and scenery but was completely open to our ideas as well. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone and hope to use her services again!
