Thank you for your interest in Steven Saccio Photography. It has been a fun journey becoming a small business owner, and it’s because of people like you that Steven has been able to succeed in a very saturated market. If you would like to learn how he got to where he is today, please enjoy reading a little of his history.
Steven went to college at the University of North Florida and attained a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design. Several electives helped to be an introduction to photography but it would be many years before he considered it to be anything more than a hobby.
In 2004 Steven went to work for Disney and was (deep breath): a Lifeguard, “Astro Attendant” at Star Tours, Parade Puppeteer at the Tapestry of Dreams parade, LG Coordinator, LG manager, Training Coordinator at 12 different hotels, “Castaway” on Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Online Training IT fixer guy, and boat captain and manager (600 passenger ferry boats plus a fleet of other vessels!). Working for Disney provided a once in a lifetime opportunity simply not available anywhere else.
After eight years of full-time Magic Work Steven was ready for a new “independent” challenge. Steven decided to return home with his wife Lydia and open up his own photography studio at the FJ Black Business center!
Steven joined his local photography guild (Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild aka TPPG) as well as the State and National organizations (FPP and PPA). He would later join the board of directors on both TPPG and FPP. He started competing in local, state and national competitions and even took home a couple of top prizes! His images can be seen both in print and digital format over a wide range of subject matters.
After establishing a successful photography venture on his own, Steven was invited to come work for the State of Florida as Governor Ron DeSantis’ personal photographer. Over the course of a year and a half he traveled all over Florida on a daily basis recording an amazing beginning to the Governors first term.
In the summer of 2020 Steven returned to his freelancing roots to focus on his personal business as well as his growing family.
Steven believes variety is key when working in an artistic field. If you’re looking for rich and dynamic imagery from a photographer who is quick in turn around and easy to work with, Steven would love to speak with you!
