we're steve & brittany
We’re Steve and Brittany, a husband and wife duo with a deep passion for capturing life's most meaningful moments through wedding photography and videography. What started as a small photography and videography venture in Western New York has grown into something so much bigger—bringing us across the country to document love stories, elopements, and special events in some of the most stunning locations in upstate New York, northern Utah, and some of our country's most breathtaking destinations. From the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes and the rugged beauty of the Adirondacks to the iconic landscapes of Utah's national parks and salt flats, we've had the privilege of capturing unforgettable moments in diverse and scenic locations across the United States.
STORY
From the very beginning, photography and videography have been more than just a profession for us—they’ve been a way to preserve real, emotional, and unforgettable moments. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to witness and document countless love stories, each one unique, but all filled with the same joy and excitement that make our work so rewarding.
Though we began our journey in the Finger Lakes and Adirondacks, we’ve since expanded our services across the globe. Whether we're capturing an intimate mountaintop elopement, a vineyard wedding in the Finger Lakes, an adventurous bridal session in Utah’s red rock deserts, salt flats, or the Wasatch Mountains, or cruising through the fjords of Norway, we approach every shoot with creativity, professionalism, and a deep appreciation for storytelling.
Our Team & Approach
While Beauty & The Beard Creative is built on our vision and artistic style, we’re not doing it alone. We have an incredible team of skilled photographers and videographers who share our passion and commitment to capturing breathtaking imagery. No matter who is behind the camera, we personally edit every photo and video ourselves, ensuring that every final image reflects the cohesive, high-quality look that defines our brand.
We believe in a balance of documentary-style storytelling and artistic portraiture, which allows us to capture those in-between, unposed moments while also creating stunning, intentional images that feel both natural and cinematic. We take pride in making our clients feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, allowing their personalities and emotions to shine through in every shot.
Where We Work
Our love for adventure and outdoor photography has taken us all over, but we are proud to be based out the beautiful Finger Lakes region in upstate New York:
- Upstate New York: We proudly serve couples throughout Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, the Finger Lakes, the Adirondacks, and beyond. Whether it's a rustic barn wedding, a lakeside ceremony, or an epic High Peaks elopement, we know the best spots to capture the magic of your day in the most beautiful way possible.
- Northern Utah: We also spend a lot of time out in Salt Lake City and Ogden, offering wedding photography and videography across the Wasatch Mountains, Utah’s salt flats, and the state’s many breathtaking national parks. Whether you're planning an intimate mountaintop ceremony, a desert elopement, or a scenic engagement session, we’re here to make it an unforgettable experience.
