Whysall Photography When your wedding day is over, all you have are your memories and your photos. Make sure your photographer has the experience to capture the beauty of your day that will leave your family and friends breathless! The number one question commonly asked by my brides and grooms is, do I really need two photographers to shoot my wedding?

Yes, you do need two photograhers to do it right. When I shoot your getting ready pictures, my other photographer, who is fully trained by me, will shoot the groom and groomsmen getting ready.
Services
My photography career has taken me on a 20+ year marvelous journey from a graduate at The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Photography, to a 5 year stint as an Assistant Photographer for Richard Nowitz, a famous National Geographic photographer, where I accompanied him on editorial work around the country.
My wedding style is a mixture of Documentary, Fine Art, and Traditional. Let me show your story as it unfolds, with over 1,000 weddings experience, and 20 years of photography. Steve Whysall is the winner of The Gold and The Silver Award in international competitions sponsored by the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Associations.
Commercial Photography includes Fitness, Gourmet Food, Headshots, Products, Real Estate, and Advertising. Sometimes I use soft, even light when photographing. Sometimes I gel the background and use an edgy lighting to make the product or person pop out into the frame. You will see a lot of vibrant colors in my commercial portfolio.
As a former chef at high-end exclusive restaurants, I understand how to display your gourmet food. My top-notch food photography will capture your website with powerful imagery shot with creative compositions. Make your magazine advertising spread stand out with bold, rich colors, and expert lighting.

I was searching for a local photographer to do food photos for our website, and talked to several before deciding to work with Steve-- whom I chose because he was the most pleasant, had the most experience, and was a former chef! I definitely made the right decision. I've worked with him on three separate occasions now, and have had nothing but wonderful experiences.

He is professional, accommodating, and super fun to work with-- as is his assistant. He was able to translate our vision (which was admittedly vague at times) into gorgeous photos that we are very excited to showcase on our new website. Cannot say enough good things, and would definitely recommend his services. Thank you, Steve!

Steve is an excellent photographer and an even better person. He made me and my fiance so comfortable during both a proposal and an engagement session, and did whatever possible to make sure we got the best product. Easy to work with and definitely a perfectionist. Look forward to having him at our wedding as well.

When I Googled "gourmet food photographer in Frederick MD", Whysall Photography was the first to pop up. I read through Steve's website and thought this guy sounds too good to be true. But I took my chances and gave him a call to see if he would take photographs of my cheesecakes for my small start up business. We spoke a few minutes on the phone.

He was kind and accommodating and instantly I felt confident he was the guy for the job. We met that same week to discuss my vision. After just a few minutes of consulting with Steve, and seeing samples of his work, I knew that he was more than qualified to meet my needs. His credentials are impressive, but he exceeds them on a personal level. Steve is not only an artist, a visionary, a professional and a perfectionist when it comes to his craft, he is a genuinely nice and caring human being. He will not rest until he gets it just right. He created images that exceeded my vision. Without hesitation, I recommend Steve for any and all of your photography needs.

Steve is such an excellent photographer! He was willing to travel all the way up to NJ with his assistant to shoot my wedding. That speaks volumes right there! He and Rachel bent over backwards for us to make sure everything was perfect. I can imagine it has to be tough trying to make sure you catch everything you think the bride and groom would want, and they did exactly that.

The pictures came out amazing! I would recommend Steve to any and all brides looking for a photographer that really knows his profession and is so easy to work with! Thank you so much Steve and Rachel!

We hired Whysall Photography, LLC numerous times to photograph our completed remodel projects. They have proven to be professional, experienced, timely, FUN & affordable. They are able to provide quality photos for not only large remodeled spaces, but also very small spaces. Their experience, equipment and lighting have produced beautiful photos for our website and advertising material! We will be hiring them again in October for another photo shoot. Thank you Whysall Photography, LLC!

I have worked with Steve in formal and informal settings. While working in informal settings, he is fun and dynamic. I found that informal environments allow him to take liberty with his photographs which create fun, different and creative perspectives. While working with Steve in a formal setting, his degree of professionalism is unmatched. His use of lights, props, and positioning of models combine to achieve peerless results.

Steve's photography is nothing short of wonderful as is the experience of working with him. I have had the pleasure of being the subject of his photos as well as being the hair stylist and make up artist behind the scenes. Steve has an eye for bringing beauty to life in a single image. For weddings, engagements, portraits, or any occasion you wish to capture your moment I highly recommend Whysall photography.
