Stephen Blackmon Photography & Design

Stephen was awesome! He made me and my husband very comfortable. Stephen didn't make us do too many poses, which led to a more natural feel from the pictures. We will be using him again for future occasions.

Stephen, these are AMAZING! You were not only an awesome photographer . . . but you added to our overall experience. The words THANK YOU do not scratch the surface of my and Daniels appreciation!

Stephen want above and beyond on all my pictures! He is so cool to work with!

Stephen Blackmon was absolutely fantastic!!! Our pictures are better than I could have ever imagined. He made me feel completely comfortable while taking the "getting ready" shots and had the best suggestions of places to go after the ceremony to take wedding pictures. Stephen was not intrusive in moments my husband and I were sharing with our family and friends, and was able to get pictures that we did not even know he was taking. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a great, friendly, professional photographer!!!

Stephen is so fun to work with!! He shot my engagement photos which were beautiful.

Despite the rain on my wedding day, stephen once again did a wonderful job making sure to get the right shots. I can't wait to see them.

I highly recommend...

Stephen Blackmon is a phenomenal photographer!! He recently captured the most amazing day of our lives with absolutely gorgeous pictures!! He has such a creative eye and style that adds a special touch to every image. So many of our wedding guests commented on his awesome, down-to-earth personality! He has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. That certainly helped with all of the jitters before the wedding. I was having so much fun taking pictures with my bridal party that I didn't even realize that it was almost time to walk down the aisle. He is so fun, easy-going, and fits right in with the party, yet maintains a professional attitude. He was even jumping with us on the dancefloor to capture some of our favorite candid snapshots. We truly appreciated having such a creative and talented photographer who went above and beyond to acheive perfection in our photos. He even helped coordinate the photo/design with a local store for our "Save the Date" card. Our memories will be cherished forever thanks to the talents of Stephen!!!

I am so glad we hired Stephen as our wedding photographer. We just got our photos back and they are a huge hit! He got exactly what I was looking for and the photos are styled beautifully. Not only that, he was a fun guy to have around and he helped make us two awkward turtles relax and have fun.

Stephen was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't be more pleased! He adapted very well to our over the top partying guests, and blended right in to get so many fabulous candid shots! In addition, the detail and portrait photos are gorgeous and very artistic. He truly showed a variety of techniques in our photos. Stephen is also wonderful to work with - he was very responsive and open to my (sometimes overly obsessive) thoughts, plans, and ideas. So many of our bridal party members commented on how much fun he was - he really seemed like he fit in as a friend/guest and not just someone we were paying to be there! We absolutely recommend using Stephen!

Stephen was wonderful. He was incredibly laid back and easy to work with. Our pictures are beautiful- better than I could have every imagined. Would highly recommend!

Stephen is professional, relaxed and very responsive. From the first time we met him, we knew he was the top choice for our photographer. He was relaxed with anything that came up on the wedding day and did not seem to interfere with the day as I have seen some photographers do. He has an 'all day' package which was exactly what we needed. When you are planning, you do not know exactly how long you'll want your photographer there, so it's nice to have an all day package that is flexible. The pictures turned out great! Also, we got married in Charleston, but are not from Charleston. When I asked Stephen about some key beautiful, historical sites in downtown to take photos, he thought of places right away and it turned out to be exactly where I wanted.

Stephen did the photography for our April wedding on Folly Beach. We just got our pictures from him (in about a week!!) and they are absolutely amazing! He captured everything we wanted and it looked stunning. He was great to work with and we didn't even notice he was there during the wedding, yet captured every moment. I would recommend Stephen to everyone I know!!!!! He is wonderful and his work matches his awesome personality!

At the end of your wedding, the only thing you get to keep after a year of planning is the photos! Stephen did an amazing job with our weddding. He took the time to capture all the details of the day, helped us pick good locations in Charleston for our engagement photos and our wedding portraits. He really has an eye for composition! Stephen is fun to be around and easy to work with. I highly recommend booking him for your wedding, engagement pictures, or just family photos!

Stephen Blackmon is a WONDERUFUL photographer!! He is such a nice guy and very professional! He knows how to capture the moment. I love our pictures because they don't look staged or posed. They just looked so natural. His pictures turned out wonderfully! Also, if you have any questions to ask him or any concerns, he responds right away to them. The cost was very reasonable and definately worth it! I would recommend him to anyone!! Thank you Stephen for wonderful bridal portraits and wedding photos!

I LOVE STEPHEN! He is truly the best! He took amazing photos, was supportive and reliable when I needed him and went above and beyond what I expected from any photographer. No one could have done a better job!

AMAZING photographer! So easy to work with and does an awesome job at everything!

Stephen has a way of making you feel as if you have known him for years upon your first meeting. He has a great eye for capturing raw emotion and takes the time to listen. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

Stephen did an excellent job with my bridal portraits and our wedding! He captured the most awesome shots without anyone even knowing! We are very pleased with our wedding photos that create wonderful memories of such a special day. Stephen has amazing talent, very flexible, and ver reasonably priced!

Stephen Blackmon is so very talented. He exceeded our expectations by miles! We can not gush about him enough. I'm glad he charged us what he did, but he deserves to be paid much, much more! We have no doubt that his photograph will make many people very happy!

LOVED...LOVED...LOVED wording with Stephen! As an out of town bride, I was nervous that I wouldn't have a connection with my photographer, however Stephen put me at ease the first time my (now) husband met him. He is so nice and laid back and I felt totally comfortable with him. When we got our pictures last week I was very pleased. He exceeded both of our expectations. I knew he would get great shots because he was so collabortive during the whole process...and handled himself quite nicely with my demanding bridal party :)
Needless to say...he got some amazing shots...and provided my husband and I with a lifetime of memories.

Stephen was an amazing photographer! My husbands biggest worry was that Stephen would be in our faces the entire day however, it was the complete opposite. I have been to weddings where you feel like the photographer was like the paparazzi and you cant enjoy the event. Stephen was ALL over our wedding and got some of the most amazing shots however, you would never know that he was there. He branched out of the norm and had us do creative shots as well as classic shots. He was able to capture moments that I wouldn't have thought of and the quality of his work was way above average. The level of our pictures are at such a quality, I will be submitting many of them to bridal magazines. Stephen is an extremely professional but laid back business person. This made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I would recommend him for any event that requires and artistic touch and will result in amazing moments captured by the camera for people to enjoy for many, many years!

Stephen was absolutely fabulous to work with! We cannot begin to express our many thanks for him helping us to create such a wonderful wedding weekend. Stephen went above and beyond to make our guests and us feel totally at ease. He was always around to make sure things went smoothly when we were not sure of what to do. Our album is nothing short of amazing and we will treasure our beautiful photos forever! If you want an amazing photographer with the eye of and artist who is very well organized, Stephen is it.

Coming from two people who hate to be photographed, we loved Stephen Blackmon!I was so nervous about my bridal portraits- I worried that I would look as awkward as I felt, but Stephen managed to get some really amazing photos. He was well organized, prompt, and never over-bearing. He is a genuinely nice guy who has an awesome ability to get even the most unwilling subject of photos to smile and look gorgeous. We recently received our wedding album and, as I have come to expect from Stephen, it was far above our expectations. Thanks to him I have beautiful photos of the most important day of our lives. I highly recommend him to any girl who wants to feel like a movie star on her wedding day!

Stephen Blackmon was a wonderful wedding photographer ... very responsive to my calls and emails. Was on time and prepared on our wedding day. Did a great job and was reasonably priced. Our wedding album looks amazing!

We had the pleasure to work with Stephen and I just have to say it was one of the best experiences I've had working with a photographer.Stephens amazing ability to capture the moment is like no...

Stephen is such a great photographer, and we were so happy to get to be a part of his own special day! He is so easy going and wonderful to work with. His pictures are AMAZING!!! The images he captures, well it's hard to imagine it could be done better, and we are grateful to have such a talented artist amidst us. We very highly recommend Stephen!

Who has more charming details, fresh ideas and style up his sleeve than photographer Stephen Blackmon? His sparkling personality and amazingly steady hand were just the ticket for several of my 2009-2010 brides!
