Business Details
Tampa Wedding Photographer | Stephen Dohring
I am a Tampa-based wedding photographer whose journey began with a childhood passion for capturing moments through a Polaroid camera. After years of exploring music as a drummer, I returned to photography and discovered my true calling in documenting weddings. My approach combines artistic vision with a deep sensitivity to the emotions of each event, ensuring every detail is preserved authentically. With a focus on storytelling, I strive to create timeless images that reflect the unique connection between couples. When I'm not photographing weddings, I enjoy spending time with my twin children, scuba diving, and training for triathlons near my home in the Tampa area. My goal is to provide a personalized experience that makes couples feel at ease while delivering exceptional, emotionally resonant work.

Stephen was one of the best choices we made as far as vendors. When I first saw his website I immediately knew he was the photographer I wanted. His style is so creative and he gets these magnificent scenic shots. Also when I told him our wedding party size (which was small), instead of up-selling me he suggested a shorter time-period which cost us less money. He was so kind and professional and made sure we got shots we wanted as well as shots we didn't know we wanted.
Our pictures turned out breath-taking. He was perfect. I would definitely choose him over and over again! I feel so lucky that Stephen was there to capture so many special moments on our wedding day!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Stephen Dohring, He was our photographer for our wedding at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach. He came highly recommended by the resort and they were certainly right! Stephen knew the resort very well and knew exactly where to take the most perfect pictures. Stephen spent the day with us, capturing incredible moments from start to finish. Stephen has great attention to detail and an amazing eye for photography.
You can tell that he truely loves his job. I knew when planning the wedding, that the photographer was the most important vendor to me because pictures last a lifetime. I could not be happier with Stephen's work and I am so happy to have these fantastic images to look back on for the rest of our lives. Our sunset pictures are breathtaking and I can't believe that its actually us in these pictures. They look like they belong in a magazine. We are so glad that we chose Stephen as our photographer and we would recommend him to everyone!

The pictures are breathtaking and your words were so kind. My words cannot do justice for the appreciation and gratitude I have for you. God was truly looking out for me and blessed me beyond belief when he allowed you to be my photographer. The way you captured my wedding is exactly how I have always wanted my wedding to be remembered. So many people have complimented your work and are just amazed. You are very talented and I hope to work with you as my family grows. I cannot thank you enough.

Shannon & Ryan
You seemed to be everywhere but yet nowhere. I just had no idea until after the entire event and looking at my photos that you were a person of such depth and sensitivity. To get so many moments that mean so much to me, my tears are the only way I can express my gratitude. You really made the day an even more special experience with your kinds words, humor, and talent.
Dana and Robbie
My sister and my maid of honor thought they were happy with their wedding photos until they saw my album from Stephen. They were beside themselves with jealousy and had no idea what they could have had if they found Stephen.

The night we returned from the Dominican, Doug and I were up so late looking at our slideshow over and over and over. I wanted to tell you how absolutely amazing our wedding pictures are! Our friends, family, people at work, pretty much anyone who crosses my path I show them the slideshow and they love all the pictures. Doug and I looked at your website so often before the wedding, imagining what shots we would get and we were floored by our own slideshow. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us.
