About Heritage House

Stephen Mayo Photography

Lead Photographer

I started my business to provide a different experience. This is your wedding, your day, your story. I document couples by getting to know them, providing value based on my experience, and capturing authentic moments throughout their wedding. By understanding each couple, learning about their story and listening to what their dreams are about their wedding, I want to give them an exceptional wedding photography experience. I want you to enjoy every moment of your wedding, and I want to provide you with honest, compelling, emotional, and romantic imagery that will bring you joy every time you look at the images.

We provide a fully customized, boutique level service. By understanding your vision, we are able to deliver images that exceed expectations while you enjoy your day. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and often, couples don't know where to begin. We work to provide stunning imagery, and in addition, we provide an amazing resource throughout the months we work with couples. Our experience has helped us become an incredible resource, and we share our experiences. We are here for you throughout the entire process.

    I could not recommend Stephen Mayo and Heritage House Wedding Photography enough he was professional, organized, and a calming presence on such a big day. He was helpful not only the day of our wedding but also played an active role in the months leading up to the wedding sharing his experience, advice, and guidance throughout the entire process. He was flexible and went above and beyond for us from start to finish. We could not have asked for anything more.

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly means the world to hear that you felt supported not just on your wedding day, but throughout the entire planning process. Being a calming presence and a helpful guide during such a meaningful day is exactly what I hope to offer every couple, and I’m so grateful you felt that. From start to finish, it was an absolute joy to work with you both and capture the story of your day.

    We cannot recommend Stephen Mayo and Heritage House Wedding Photography ENOUGH! My husband and I just had our wedding this past weekend and the experience with Stephen and his photography team has been an absolute highlight. Just a few words I can think of that describe Stephen and his team: - Meticulous - Reliable - Trustworthy - Supportive - Overachieving - Professional - Caring Our process began about a year ago when a friend of ours recommended Stephen. We had an initial meeting with him and was immediately sold. He had a very organized approach to what services he could provide and explained it all in a very simple and consumable way. He also exuded care and attention at every step, wanting to get to know us, our story, our expectations, and then remembered all of them for the entire duration of our time together. We had an engagement shoot with him soon after. We fell in love with his aesthetic. Working with him is so easy. He gives great pose suggestions, directs well, and makes the session a very collaborative feeling experience. His eye and composition is also just top notch. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Stephen did a great job of keeping regular touchpoints. Before the wedding we organized family portraits for the day of and he was able to mock up a thorough and detailed schedule that gave us confidence that he’d keep the day running smoothly. During the day, he was so calm and helpful. He helped keep all of the portrait sessions moving smoothly and then also came up with a bunch of creative ideas for photos throughout the night. By halfway through the night, he had set up iPads with photo slideshows of some shots from the earlier session for our guests to see and by the time we left at night we received a personalized photo album with prints of some of his favorite shots already - you heard right, PRINTS by the end of the night! We’re just now starting to go through photos from the day and they are looking amazing. I can’t recommend Heritage House enough - please please book them for your event!

    We’re so grateful for your kind words—it truly means the world to us! From the very beginning, you two made this journey feel like a creative partnership, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was such a joy getting to know your story, planning every detail together, and capturing the heart of your day. Seeing your guests enjoy the same-day slideshow and handing you that printed album before the night ended—those are the moments we live for. Thank you for trusting us, for being such a dream to work with, and for reminding us why we love what we do. We’re so excited for you to relive the magic through the full gallery soon! With all our appreciation, Stephen + the Heritage House Team

The photos are stunning and full of emotion, perfectly capturing the small, meaningful moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more talented photographer.

    Thank you so much for this beautiful note! It was such an honor to be part of your day—and hearing that the photos captured those small, meaningful moments truly means everything to us. We believe the in-between moments tell the heart of the story, and we're so glad that came through in your gallery. From start to finish, working with you both was an absolute joy, and we’re so grateful you trusted us to document it all.

    From the moment we booked Heritage House Photography for our wedding, their communication was frequent, clear, and optimistic. The photographers were dedicated, creative, and extremely organized, capturing memories we will cherish forever. They expertly managed our large bridal party, helping to keep the flow of the day running smoothly and seamlessly. Heritage House had a true passion for their craft and made the photography experience fun and enjoyable. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos they delivered and couldn't recommend them more highly.
