Hey, I’m Stu—the guy behind Stu Whittaker Photography and your soon-to-be favorite third wheel. My job? To capture you being you—the big laughs, the happy tears, the wild dance moves, and the moments in between that you didn’t even realize were magic.

I’m not here for awkward prom poses or forced smiles. Nope. I want you to feel like yourself in front of the camera—comfortable, carefree, and maybe even having fun (yes, fun—trust me, it’s possible). I’ll be the one cracking bad jokes, hyping you up, and making sure you actually enjoy the experience, not just the photos.

If you want stiff, traditional pictures, we might not be a match. But if you want real, raw, ridiculously good memories frozen in time—let’s do this.

So, what do you say? Let’s make some photo magic together!
