Introduction
If you are in the market for bold and memorable images that will stand out in a world where photography has become ubiquitous, then you have come to the right place. My portfolio, available below (more can be seen at OlkerPhoto.com and social @OlkerPhoto), is diverse, but my specialties lie in event and portrait photography. I enjoy finding the balance between photojournalism and fine art that exist in these spaces, blurring the line between documentation and art. I hope this is apparent in my work, through my use of both natural and off-camera, artificial light. If you like my style, the rest should fall into place. My reviews speak to the quality of my services and professional demeanor. Photography is my full-time passion and career, so every client is given my full attention and resources to provide an exceptional experience and product. Furthermore, I look to offer a great value in order to get referrals and build a strong client base here in Austin. If you serious about booking or have any questions, don't hesitate to message me (an actual message is highly appreciated :) If your inquiry gets declined, it is most likely because I am booked. As my availability might change, or my second shooter may be able to help, I encourage you to reach out via my website. Cheers! Steve

Stephen did an absolutely amazing job! I hired him to shoot my surprise proposal to my girlfriend out in the Hill Country (in Burnet). He was very professional, responsive, and just an overall joy to work with! He went above and beyond to get to the venue early and got set up before we arrived. Got the perfect angles of the moment and took some amazing shots. He also was very gracious to stick around a little bit extra time to account for family arriving late so that he could capture us all together. Attached are just a couple of the photos he took. They all turned out wonderful! I highly recommend him to capture your special moments!!!

Working with Steven was great. I'm juggling a lot of different projects and to just hand this off to a professional was a huge relief. He turned around the pictures way quicker than promised and over delivered. All around A great experience with a skilled freelancer.

If you are looking for a photographer that will go the extra mile to become part of your wedding, you found him in Stephen. He immediately took in our style, venue and feedback to create a beloved wedding portfolio. We had a non-traditional ceremony and he took every opportunity to capture the vibe and spirit of our unique day. He also was incredibly professional and friendly with the others involved in making our day, ours.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen who recently took photos for our companies’ 20th Anniversary, and I cannot express enough how thrilled we are with the results! From the very beginning, Stephen was extremely professional and friendly, making our team feel at ease and comfortable during the shoot. He truly has an eye for capturing the perfect shot, and the images he produced are awesome and the colors pop! Each photo is vibrant, engaging, and truly captures the spirit and personality of our team and our company Not only were the images of exceptional quality, but the entire process was smooth and efficient. Stephen was organized and worked efficiently, making the most of the time we had together. He also communicated clearly and effectively throughout the process, ensuring that we were happy with the direction of the shoot and the final product. Overall, I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone in need of exceptional photography services. His professionalism, creativity, and talent truly sets him apart from others in the industry. We are so grateful for the stunning images he produced for us, and we look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you for your outstanding work!
