A drone frame of a California track team, published on Unsplash and downloaded 417 thousand times. Three photographs in all — and this is the one the world kept.
“Best photographer! Our family photos always come out perfect. We've taken different style photos and they always turn out better than I imagined.”
“We were lucky enough to work with Steven for our engagement photos & wedding day photos! He made us feel so comfortable & captured our special day exactly like we had imagined. He was so easy to communicate with & I was easily able to share my inspiration with him for our engagement shoot & wedding day photography!! Truly the best!”
“Steven gave us the idea of going to Yosemite National Park. He devoted an entire day of his summer, driving a total of five hours, and never made us feel rushed — then developed and framed photographs for our engagement party.”
