Christine is in the Class of 2011 at Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, CT. What a blast we had photographing Christine. She was like a super model. Her Mom, Jo, assisted me and was intuitive as far as how I wanted the light directed.

Arielle is a bright and a beautiful young lady who is sure to make it very big in her life time. Her mom is wonderful and we had a fabulous time photographing her daughter.

As part of our Lifestyle approach, after pregnancy, a baby is born. The beginning of life.

In this instance, When Brie, the mother, was Bat Mitzvahed, Stelcar was there. When Ken and Brie got married, Stelcar was there. Now with the new life, a new cycle. It was our pleasure to be part of Brie and Ken's life both as a photographer and as friends. Stella and Marty

Stelcar Photography opened in 1976 with three simple goals that husband and wife team Marty and Stella Seefer hold to steadfastly today: Capture moments and people as honestly and beautifully as possible, treat customers with attentive respect and kindness, and always create work they would display in their own home.

More than 30 years after they opened their doors, they are proud to be one of the premier wedding, portrait, HS Senior and event photography studios in New England thanks to their commitment to excellence and professionalism. Working out of a turn-of-the century Victorian in East Hartford, the Seefers seamlessly bring together technical expertise and artistic vision to create photographs that capture the unspoken – the essence of each person, each relationship, each event.

Stelcar Photography recognizes that they honorably serve their clients when they listen to what they want, invest time to discover who they are, and deliver brilliant, high-quality images that reflect the very best of people. They look forward to working with you as a trusted partner and exceeding your expectations.

Who We Are:

Marty Seefer started capturing images as a master’s degree candidate at the University of Connecticut. Photography was part of his coursework in Instructional Technology, but it quickly became much more. His eye for seeing people and his talent in the darkroom soon found him fielding requests to photograph weddings, portraits and bar/bat mitzvahs. In 1981, after several years in the Wethersfield School System, he left teaching to focus solely on photography.

Marty received certification from the Professional Photographers of America in 1984, and in 1988 the group bestowed upon him the distinction of Master of Photography. He was named a Photographic Craftsman by the same organization in 1994 for sharing his expertise as a lecturer at regional and national venues. His work has received high honors from both Kodak and Fuji, solidifying his reputation as a master of composition, lighting and posing. Several of his pieces have been featured in the PPA Loan Collection and shown by the World Council of Professional Photographers.

In 2001, Marty authored “The Art of Bridal Photography” which continues to be a reference for professional photographers throughout the world.

Stella Seefer’s title of Business Manager doesn’t do justice to the role she plays. The first point of contact for those interested in working with Stelcar Photography, Stella then meets with clients to determine schedules and assist with package planning and clothing consultations. After the event, clients count on Stella’s keen eye to help them select photos and create albums that tell their stories.

Her interaction with brides and grooms and families compliments Marty’s and rounds out the personal, customized service Stelcar Photography is known for. It is that active hands-on approach that transforms a photography session into an “experience” unique to each individual and family.
