  • About Steve & Chris Fogarty

    Dramatic, soulful photography from a place grounded in family values.

    I am the luckiest guy around, daddy to the four best boys ever, and husband to their strong, determined, honest and beautiful mother, Christina Fogarty, my wife.

    I love all photography, but especially wedding photography, the most important work I do (besides being Dad and hubby).

    My brides say things like "Steve made me feel like a movie star" and "I felt so beautiful." We get these results mostly by letting you just be your self, with some gentle occasional posing, zinged up with the skillful use of professional lighting.

    Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to making gorgeous photos with you and working together!

Crazy weather definitely helps the photography stand out a bit. Dramatic skies, great laughs from the client wondering why the heck they are doing this…it’s definitely all worth it in the end.
