After photographing more than 75 weddings over the past few years, I've really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on a wedding day.
The hug your mom gives you before you leave your dressing room. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you walking down the aisle. The way the two of you lean your heads together during the toasts.
This day is about more than the flowers and the shoes you chose. It's about celebrating the start of a new family. It's an honor to play a part in such a significant day and I hope you'll choose me to be a part of yours!

Stephanie was very professional, our personal hype squad, had great time management, and was even dancing with us while taking photos. We were lucky enough to have Stephanie take our engagement photos, which helped us to be comfortable in front of the camera. She made our beautiful wedding day SO much fun. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and upbeat photographer!

I’m not being biased at all when I say that Stephanie is the BEST wedding photographer out there. She goes way above and beyond anything that you would expect on your big day, as well as making sure everything is prepared well in advanced before your wedding day or event. I cry every time looking at our photos, because Stephanie was able to bring out the emotions with us in every picture and the whole experience and our wedding day was amazing. I’m so glad we booked Stephanie for our wedding and I am so thankful that all of the pictures turned out beautifully that we will be able to cherish with family and loved ones forever.

INQUIRE
I CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
The average investment for my couples is $4,500. My couples are more than just a paycheck; you are a couple with a love story and a future that I want to help capture. I believe wedding photography is one of the most important investments you can make on your wedding day. It is the one thing you can keep after the wedding is over, and it becomes more valuable over time. From the time we have our first phone call to when you receive your wedding gallery, you can expect to gain a lifelong friend! I will walk you through the whole booking process, engagement session, and even the timeline/day-of flow.
