Stapleton Photography

 

AboutAlthough living in Tulsa most of our adult lives, I’m originally from New York and Heather from Colorado. My life in photography began some 33 years ago with a class in photography at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. From there I went on to Oklahoma State University where I earned a Bachelors degree in Photojournalism and landed a job as the photographer for the Stillwater NewsPress. Working my way up to Chief Photographer of the Paper, I had the opportunity to photograph every type of event and scene you can imagine. My love for Photography took me to Tulsa, where I was honored to work with such organizations as Oral Roberts University and Tulsa Junior College as their lead photographer.

It was during these times I discovered the joys of teaching others my craft and starting my own photography business. Through one of these classes on wedding photography, I met a very talented photographer, Heather. She had started her own photography business which was growing fast. A few short years later, Heather and I married and combined our love for photography into one business.

We discovered we shared the same passion for weddings and portraits. We love working with our brides, grooms and their families. It is so much fun! Every wedding and portrait session is an opportunity to capture a small piece of someone’s life, and through our photographs, for all to relive this day, this moment, this feeling for the rest of their life.

Ninety percent of our wedding and portrait business comes from referrals, either from the bride and groom, parents or just someone who saw us at work or the beautiful final photographs and unique albums. Knowing this, Heather and I work very hard, not to just to make sure you get great photographs, for that is a certainty, but to also assure that every part of your wedding and portrait experience goes just perfect! From pinning boutonnières, bustling brides, organizing wayward family members to assisting with cake cutting. If there is anything we can do to make your day that much more relaxing for you, Heather and I are there.

Through the years our weddings have taken us across the United States and around the world. Japan, Tahiti, Mexico, Ireland and Italy are just a few of the beautiful places we have had the opportunity to photograph. Through these travels, Heather and I have seen so much beauty and so want to share these amazing scenes with you. Our Fine Art Galleries encompasses some of our favorite scenes from literally across the globe. Photographic art of landscapes, wildlife, architecture and photojournalism can be found within this gallery.

If you enjoy the photos throughout this website and our style of photography is a match for you, we would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your photography needs.
