Get To Know - Steven F. Fox Photography

When I first started in the wedding industry I reached out to other wedding vendors in the area. Steve Fox was one of the first photographers I got to know. It has been a pleasure working with and getting to know both Steve and Jessica over the last few years. They have a great eye and a creative touch. And now I would like to help you get to know...


1. What type of services do you offer?

Steven F. Fox Photography is a full service photography studio specializing in weddings and modern portraiture. We offer a wide variety of coverage for weddings including both one and two photographer packages and digital and album packages. As a husband and wife team we are able to offer two very different styles and perspectives. We love working together and do our best work as a team.


2. Where are you located and what area do you service?

We are located in Holland, MI and are available for travel worldwide. We photograph most of our weddings in West Michigan but are frequently in Detroit and Chicago with some other fun destinations on occasion as well. We love exploring new places and are excited to be photographing a wedding on Mackinaw Island and a wedding in Mexico this year.



3. How long have you been business? How and why did you get started?

After being a photography major in college Steve spent years in Detroit photographing in the automotive industry. Steve moved to West Michigan when we got married and after a few years off decided it was time to get back to doing what he is passionate about. We photographed our first wedding together in April of 2006 and have loved building our business together.



4. What do you think sets you apart from other vendors in the industry?

I’m not sure that this sets us apart so much but it is what makes us so good at what we do – we really, really love what we do! We love meeting brides and grooms for the first time and talking with them about their wedding day. We love hearing stories of how couples met, how they became engaged and what they have planned for the future. I think Steve and I both still get tears in our eyes at least a few times every wedding season. We understand that having a connection with a couple we are photographing will allow us to get the most creative and intimate photographs because they trust us.


5. Is there anything that you specialize in?

We specialize in exceeding expectations. Over the last several years we have learned that one of the most important things we can do is talk with our clients about their expectations. We will always do our very best to capture every special moment and create beautiful portraits but if we are not aware of our clients ideas and dreams then it is impossible to meet their expectations. We like to tell our clients that if they want a photograph of the bride on a white horse on the beach at sunset that they need to provide the white horse, the beach and the sunset and we’ll do the rest.


6. When you’re not busy working, how do you like to spend your downtime?

Whenever we can we pack up and head north for some quality family time. Working from home is a huge blessing but the downside is that the work is always there. Up north there is no computer and no stack of papers to deal with so we can relax and enjoy each other. Steve is also a fabulous cook and loves trying new recipes. I am not a fabulous cook but I’m a willing guinea pig.
