Our wedding day was photographed by Steve Rhodes and his team from Silverlight Photography, and we are absolutely thrilled with the pictures! From the initial consult, Steve put us at ease and made sure to take the time to understand our wishes and needs. He was thorough, professional, and communicative throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and follow-through was phenomenal, which resulted in our gorgeous photos which captured the spirit of our day so well, and included important highlights that we will treasure forever. We are so grateful to Steve for his hard work and dedication in getting the perfect shots! We would highly recommend Steve to family and friends for events of all kinds. Thank you Steve and Silverlight Photography for everything, your talent and care are so appreciated!

Sincerely,

Jessica and Denver

Steve is a fantastic person to work with, he went above and beyond to help us have an amazing pre-wedding photoshoot. At the last minute, due to weather constraints, he was not only able to accommodate a new photo location - he took the initiative to arrange it! The new location he suggested was beyond our expectations. Steve is very personable and friendly, and is very experienced and effective in both taking excellent photos and in directing his subjects the day of. We highly recommend Steve and Silverlight Photography!

Silverlight was amazing to work with for our wedding! Steve has a great relaxed vibe but he knows what he’s doing. I have already recommended him to a few friends and I’ll continue to recommend him to my friends and family! Also he must be magic, because even the least photogenic family members look amazing in his shots!!

Steve photographed my wedding in July 2022. Working with Steve was such a breeze from my husband and I’s first zoom call with him to our final wedding photos, we were so impressed with his professionalism, easy-going nature, and care at ensuring our wedding photos were everything we dreamed of.

My husband and I tend to both feel uncomfortable in front of the camera but straight away Steve made us feel at ease and comfortable. We could not be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out and would recommend Steve a million times over!

I hired Silverlight Photography for my wedding this past August, and I couldn’t be more happier with my decision! Steve and his assistant are super professional, friendly, and flexible. They made us comfortable in front of the camera and provided guidance, something both myself and my husband needed! The photos were delivered within 8 weeks, and they came out stunning!! Highly recommend Silverlight to any couple looking for an affordable and experienced photographer.

Steve is professional, yet easygoing, accommodating, yet attentive, thorough, yet flexible, and most importantly (in our opinions), friendly, warm, and responsive. Steve and his assistant helped photograph our wedding day, from us getting ready individually, to doing our first look, to getting married, and to celebrating with our guests.

Choosing a photographer was extremely important to us. We don't take many photos of ourselves and we didn't do any engagement photos either (though Steve did offer an engagement shoot as part of our package). The wedding was a rare opportunity for us to have proper photos taken of us. We wanted our photos to be done well and to accurately document the day and our wedding, so that we could look back on them for many years to come. We knew from the beginning that they would be the one of the most important artifacts that would remain with us after the wedding.

We spoke with approximately 35 different photographers, each with their own style, experiences, and practices. Steve stood out immediately with his genuine interest, care, and hospitality towards us. The venue we chose for our wedding did not exist as an option in previous years, so most of the photographers we met had not done any events in this location before. As a small but important example of Steve's flexibility, Steve was one of the very few photographers that were willing to meet us in our venue and do a quick walk through to get an idea of potential photo spots. On top of being a new, unique venue, being able to get an idea of potential photo spots was doubly important to us as our venue required advance notice and approval of the areas we were going to take photos in. In contrast, many of the other photographers were unwilling to do this and claimed that they would visit the venue a couple hours prior to the wedding and decide on the photo shoots on the fly.

Working with Steve in the months leading up to and on the day of the wedding was so incredibly easy and effortless, qualities that were very invaluable and cannot be overstated, given the seemingly never-ending list of things that needed our attention throughout this period of time. On the day of the wedding, both Steve and his assistant Teri were efficient, skilled, and thorough, which helped to put our minds at ease and reduce the anxiety and nerves of ourselves, our parents, and our wedding party. The day went smoothly, with Steve and Teri taking photos constantly and capturing everything.

Of course, the result of all of this is the actual pictures, which we received almost 2 months ahead of Steve's estimate. The photos turned out so much better than we could ever have imagined! We are overjoyed every time we look at them and received numerous compliments from the family and friends we have shared them with.

The day flew by for us, but thanks to the diligent efforts and creative freedom of Steve and Teri, we now have an abundance of memories to relive and reminisce our special day. We are exceptionally appreciative and grateful to have been able to work with Steve and Silverlight Photography.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Silverlight Photography to be a part of our special day! From the moment we met Steve, we knew we had a photographer that shared our vision in how we wished our day to be captured. He suggested great venues within Toronto for both our engagement photos and a secondary location for the bridal party shots. We had a winter wedding and we had a beautiful snowy backdrop and Steve and his second photographer Teri, were right in there with us to get those perfect shots. From the quality of service to professionalism to flexibility, you will be glad you chose Silverlight Photography. We are thrilled with the photos we have that will certainly be cherished forever!

Steve is so easy to work with. He was willing to meet with us in Cambridge for our engagement shoot. Our wedding photos are stunning. We could not be happier with our choice. Thank you Steve!

We thought Steve was simply amazing as the photographer for our wedding and engagement shoot. From start to finish, we had an amazing experience with him.
During our initial consultation, he was very generous with his time. He answered all our questions, showed us his previous work and was extremely easy to talk to and very flexible.
For our engagement shoot, he was punctual and was open to conducting our shoot at various locations and spots that had sentimental value, and was great at suggesting potential locations. Steve’s work speaks for itself. He has a raw talent. When we saw our engagement shoot photos, we were overjoyed. He is extremely talented and was able to capture intimate, candid and perfect moments of Anika and I. He was also extremely good at keeping us calm and natural as we are not very big fans of being photographed. However, Steve has such a warm and easy-going presence which made our photo shoot very relaxing and enjoyable.

After our engagement shoot, it made us as well as our family and friends so excited for the big day. We knew Steve would not disappoint and as expected, he didn’t. He captured each of those moments with such detail and beauty. We loved how he not only captured photos of those big moments on our wedding day – first look, kiss, our bridal party etc. but also the candid and unexpected ones – for instance when our parents were mid embrace, to our nieces and nephews bonding over dinner, to Anika and I trying to get a moment alone soaking in all the joys and memories of the day 😊 Overall, it was wonderful working with Steve. We highly recommend him as he will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.

His prices are very reasonable, including having a second shooter onsite during the wedding.

Steve was fantastic! We loved his calm energy on the day of. The photos turned out amazingly well and we received them from him very quickly. We were beyond thrilled with everything! Steve's amazing!
