As soon as we had decided on a wedding date, the first thing I booked was photography. I knew immediately that I wanted Steve and Sarah to capture my day. I am not disappointed. The photos are to die for. His ideas for some of our props and poses were amazing(things I never would have thought of) and we have SO MANY wonderful photos. It's impossible to choose what to post. The turnaround was so quick as well - something I didn't expect with all the other weddings, senior portraits and fall sports teams they also capture.

Steve's work is always so great. He's magic behind the camera and I'm so thankful to have had him take our hockey pictures all these years and for years to come. It was only natural to go to him for our first adventure with senior pictures and those are equally amazing. We're so fortunate to have his talents in our area. Thanks Steve!

Steve Chesler was very kind and patient during his photo shoot with my senior, for his portraits. Mr. Chesler went above and beyond with my son. When he realized my son played the clarinet, and we didn't bring it with us, his staff member ran to the local music shop and borrowed one. He understood that these are important moments for our family and ensured the best experience.
