Babuljak Photography

FInding a good photographer is tricky business. You want someone who a) can work a camera, b) make you look amazing, c) capture the raw beauty and emotion of a moment, and d) is actually pleasant to be around.
Steve does it all. He is a true artist, incredibly talented, warm and personable. He takes a journalistic approach to photography, and uses his camera to tell the story, your story, whatever it may be.
I have had the pleasure of working with Steve on a number of occasions, including family portraits and my CA wedding reception, and now I’m stuck with more beautiful photos than I know what to do with. See below for a few samplers – it was a delicious, relaxed gathering of family and friends, and I am so happy to have these wonderful pics to remember it by.
If you’re looking for a photographer for any occasion, do yourself a favor and call Steve. You won’t be disappointed!

Weddings are drama. Weddings are work. Weddings can be stressful and WAYYY annoying. People can be supremely obnoxious — from friends, to family, to the vendors you are contracted with… Everyone is at risk for these difficulties and frustrations when planning a wedding.
Luckily for me, we found some amazing folks to help eliminate all the outside noise and help make our day super chill and special. Steve was our rock star!
Steve was assigned to us as our photographer purely by luck. There was a scheduling «incident» with the photography company, which led to our procuring Steve as our photographer, whilst he is not even a member of their team. Steve did this as a favor to a friend — and I am über glad he did so!
My beau and I are not the normal, traditional couple — we didn’t want any foofy, over-​the-​top posed, boring pictures… we wanted to catch people slipping, slamming back shots with the grandparents, candid moments that we can go back and laugh at and cherish for years to come. Steve, coming from an incredible photojournalism background was able to knock this out with amazing results; I couldn’t be happier with our photos! We decided to opt out of having a videographer which I don’t regret at all. Steve captured all of our important moments to perfection — who needs a video when you have a picture that tells a thousand words?! The photos bring you right back into those special moments…
Steve was also realllly good with all of the bridal party and family members — as neurotic and crazy as everyone can be — he kept all of us in line and on track. (I think we were all a few sheets to the wind by the time cocktail hour rolled around.)
Steve really gets into it — he went as far as rolling on the ground to get the perfect angles and lighting shot, which totally paid off… the proof is in the pics!
While he definitely played a professional role and did his job, he was also able to really relax and just have a good time with us. The number one, most important thing for my husband and I on this day was for everyone to have fun. I can easily say that goal was accomplished with flying colors and that Steve had a lead role in aiding to accomplish such.
If you are searching for a photographer for any occasion and you actually want to enjoy the experience, I HIGHLY recommend Steve… our day wouldn’t have been as great without him!
