About Birchfields

Photographer + Videographer + Musician + Father + Husband

Birchfields is lead by Steven Berkenkemper

My career in art started around 2001, as an 11 year old leader of a punk band playing a show at a skate park. Spreading joy through creative endeavors has been core to my identity ever since.

My experience with film photography started in 2003, but I mostly stayed a musician until I started shooting weddings in 2009. After finishing a Bachelor's Degree in Audio Engineering and getting married in 2012, I decided to start a business so I could do what I'm still doing now.

I'm one of the few video creators that uses original music in much of my work, and one of the few artists that still uses film professionally. I'm thankful to have found wonderful clients over many years who appreciate this endeavor, share a love of fine art, and trust my process.

I try to see my clients with fresh eyes from our first conversations to the final edit. I'm a proud ally for all families, and I intentionally celebrate with all couples of all identities. I’ve had the honor of capturing weddings and events for the best people I've ever met across Europe, New Zealand, Alaska, South America and much of the United States.
