3 tips to stay healthy and fit as a bride

I direct with purpose and observe with patience—sculpting light while allowing emotion to remain unguarded. I correct the smallest details, but never at the expense of what’s real. The result is imagery that feels editorial in sensibility, documentary in truth, intimate in spirit, and alive with emotion. It’s an elegant tension between fine art and authenticity—a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments that distill the essence of a wedding into something timeless and enduring.

Before opening my portrait and event studio, I spent years working in the television and film industry. I’ve photographed inside the White House, captured presidential candidates and celebrities, and the local dentist down the street—all with the same quiet dedication to honesty and craft.

My work has been recognized by the Professional Photographers Society of New York State, the Professional Photographers of America, and the American Society of Media Photographers. It has earned awards and appeared in both print and online publications—but all of that pales in comparison to the joy I get from being a father or going fishing with my son. I’m not a serious person. Let’s keep this light and fun.

Steven Parker’s Hudson Valley Film Wedding Photographer – 35mm, 120, Holga & Medium Format

I direct with purpose and observe with patience: sculpting light while allowing emotion to remain unguarded. I fix small details but never interrupt what’s real. The result is images that are editorial in sensibility, documentary in truth, intimate in spirit, and alive with emotion. There’s an elegant tension between fine art and documentary — a balance of carefully composed portraiture and spontaneous, unscripted moments with an ability to distill the essence of weddings into images that are both intimate and enduring.

I am a published, award-winning photographer operating a portrait studio in the beautiful Hudson Valley, located in between Westchester and the Catskill Mountains, along the shores of the scenic Hudson River. I have been inside the White House, photographed presidential candidates, celebrity rock bands and the dentist down the street. I have photographed more than 700 weddings in my career.
