Meet Steve
Hi I'm Steve DePino. I'm a lifetime resident of Guilford, CT. Even though I have lived in other places like Philadelphia and New York, Guilford has always been my home. There has always been a part of my heart that loved my home town, and I couldn’t think of living anywhere else. So in 2005, I bought my first home across the street from the baseball diamond where I played my first little league game. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Photography has always been sort of second nature to me; and not all because of skill, but because of practice. Let me explain. When I was little, I would beg my parents to bring me to Disney World year after year. When we would go, they would always give me the camera to take photos of the trip. Even at under 10 years of age, I took most of our vacation photos. This gave me some of my skills, but the best lessons came when I didn't even have a camera in my hands. My dad once told me, after I ran out of film and got upset, that I should just use my "eyelids like a shutter and capture moments in my mind." At the time, I never realized what kind of impact something like that would have on my life. Yet twenty years later, I can still remember exactly what the sphere at EPCOT looked like on that day, and I still practice taking "eye" pictures every day without even having a camera in my hands.
Now I'm shooting weddings and loving it. I meet great people every day, and I could not be more thankful that I am able to make this my career. I'm always looking for new ways to shoot weddings and love talking to anyone interested in the field. I’m always here to share ideas. If you would like to see what I'm currently up to, please stop by my blog on this web page.
