We had our family portraits done on the beach in September 2006 by Portrait Photography of Virginia Beach. The entire experience could not have been better, considering there was 5 of us. Our kids were extremely comfortable with Stephen (he has a very gentle nature) and the photographs were priceless. It was extremely hard to choose the single best picture for our Christmas cards. But we received many compliments and several requests for Stephen's contact information.

Stephen also suggested a beautiful flush photo album that came out perfect by using the extra shots from our photo shoot. This was a collaborative work and Stephen had very creative ideas that were captured on each page. He was very patient and a joy to consult with. We now have a great lasting memento of our kids while they are still so small and adorable. I am hoping we can do this again sometime, when they get older. We highly recommend Stephen.

I want to thank you for the excellent job you did with our family portraits and senior portraits of our daughter. They are fabulous and we get "wow" compliments from everyone that sees them! The senior portraits are the envy of my daughters friends! They all want senior portraits from the beach!

I was especially appreciative of your prompt response concerning questions I had about a specific proof I was interested in. Ordering and re-ordering have been so easy!

Your professionalism as well as your delightful personality made our photography session an enjoyable experience. We would not hesitate to refer you to other out of town clients. In our opinion, PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY OF VIRGINIA BEACH is a first class business!

Danny and I were very pleased with the entire experience of working with you. From beginning to end, the experience was stressfree and enjoyable and we've had so many compliments on how wonderful our pictures turned out. I have and will continue to recommend your services to my friends. Thank you so much for capturing our memories so beautifully.

We had our family portraits done by Stephen in July 2006 during our vacation. We could not have been happier with the whole experience. Stephen was extremely accommodating and patient, and the photographs were exactly what we wanted. We have gotten many, many compliments on all of our prints, and we are sorry that we are six hours away and can't use him for more events. People have asked if he travels! We were especially happy with the black and white prints of each of our four children. Our oldest wants to pursue modeling, and her portrait looks like it is out of a magazine.

Thank you Stephen, for all of your hard work. We will definitely call you prior to our next trip to Virginia Beach!

Megan and I had our engagement pictures taken in November of 2006. Stephen was accommodating from start to finish. We started with an idea that was conveyed to him via e-mail, and he took it from there. Stephen picked the shoot sites, and had some really great ideas for lighting, focus, and backgrounds. He is a very patient person, listening to all of our ideas, and taking his time to make sure that he gave us every possible option when it came time to pick our final pictures (which was no easy task, I may add). Working with Stephen was enjoyable from start to finish, and I would recommend him to anyone with any need for a professional photographer.

Portrait Photography of Virginia Beach has defined the memory of our wedding day. Stephen was so amazing throughout the entire experience. He gave wonderful ideas and was always kind. My family is still talking about how fantastic he was. Stephen captured every moment of our special day.

I would and do recommend Portrait Photography of Virginia Beach to all my friends and family.

My wife and I used Stephen Kinstler of Portrait Photography of Virginia Beach as our Engagement and Wedding photographer. We were very impressed with his professionalism, mannerism, and his wonderful photography skills. Everyone who has seen the photos have been amazed at the quality of the images, as well as the wonderful moments and emotions that Stephen was able to capture. Working with Stephen was an absolute pleasure. He is as friendly as he is talented. We will always recommend him to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

I cannot adequately express how completely satisfied we are with your services! We were so fortunate to have you as a part of our wedding, and we would recommend you to anyone. Your pictures are personal, and the detail and care you take to ensure your clients are satisfied is exceptional.

My husband and I used Portrait Photography of Virginia Beach for our wedding. We had a perfect wedding, and Stephen did an excellent job of capturing our special day. We had an evening, beach wedding, and he was able to overcome and capitalize the challenges that come with the outdoor surroundings and evening lighting. He sat down with us before the wedding to make sure he knew what we expected. He took notes, asked questions, and made great suggestions. We are both very pleased with the outcome. We would recommend Stephen to anyone!!
