Steve Gardiol Photography

Every photographer has they're niche, be it weddings, formal sittings, scenery etc. My little niche is the candid shot. Capturing someone in a good light when they're not expecting it. Candid images show real emotion as opposed to a pose, where saying cheese can only go so far at getting a true expression.

I've been called upon many times for family gatherings, weddings, receptions etcetera to capture the natural look of friends and loved ones of my clients. Generally 75% of a shoot will consist of these images and the remainder are the all important poses of the group or individuals.

Set me 'free' at one of your events and your sure to get some special photos of those you love.

Guestbook for Steve Gardiol Photography

Again, Steve captured not only the pics but the mood of the event. He is always accomodating & professional and never misses a great photo opportunity. If you want to hire a photographer who's pics portray his expertise and really bring out the life of your event, Steve is the guy! Thanks for the many years of wonderful pics you have taken for me! Memories of my events stay vivid in my mind because of your excellent photos!

14.Jim Marshall(non-registered)

I'm impressed by how you can catch the right moment in the photo's.
The "moment" is all about holding onto your memories of what we as your clients are looking for.
You have done a wonderful job on your photo's!
The website is very easy getting around, which I find is rare on most websites I go to.
Another good job.

Steve's Photography far surpassed our expectations for wedding 'pictures'. He was able to capture the essence of the mood for the day (happy, relaxed, and family oriented) and photograph several of our guests so well we had to frame the photos as gifts! Steve has a diverse perspective, is truly artistic in his craft, and is so flexible and accomodating (at a wedding, this is priceless!) that I will invite him to shoot future events and would highly recommend his talents.

Steve, you did a great job capturing the general mood and theme of the Welcome Home Vets rally. Thanks so much!

After posting my comment, Ron asked why I didn't mention how I really felt. The pics you took brought tears to my eyes. They portray my 4 kids just as I see them, you captured their true personalities. Now I have great pics of my daughter who is moving to San Diego! I'll treasure them forever, thanks again!
