I don't know how she found him, but my sister worked with Steve for her wedding and the results were incredible. It was a big event (over 300 guests), but somehow he captured the energy and fun of the party in an intensely personal way. My favorite shot - and one that he still uses in his wedding portfolio - is the one of my parents hoisted above the crowd in chairs as we danced the Horah (for those who know me and are scratching their heads, my sister's husband is Jewish). When my wife and I were married, we didn't shop around at all - we just called Steve. Ours was a very different event - held outdoors instead of in a ballroom, and with a fraction the guest list. Steve adapted his style without a hitch, getting great, candid shots that match my memories of the event perfectly. I don't know what professionals typically cost, but working with Steve felt like an investment. That said, my wife and I have no regrets about what we paid because of the enjoyment we still get (5 years later) from our wedding album. If you're willing to work with (and pay for) a pro, I can't recommend Steve Horn highly enough.

my wife and i hired steve to photograph our wedding after seeing what an amazing job he'd done at my sister's wedding. his services - including creating a beautiful, leather-bound wedding album - were one of the larger individual cost items for the event, but worth every penny. steve has an amazing eye for people and action, and can capture all the most critical moments - plus lots of great candids and personality shots - without ever making his presence felt or 'forcing' a shot. subtlety is a hard attribute to express, and even harder to find, and steve has it in spades. if you're thinking of skipping the professional photographer for a once-in-a-lifetime event, my advice is: 1) think again, and 2) call steve
