Photographs by Stephanie

It was a phenomenal experience having Stephanie as our photographer! She photographed our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. She took the time to get to know us well in advance of our wedding weekend, and was really thorough in getting all the information she needed so that the group photos ran very smoothly. These preparations really paid off - the quality of our photos is impeccable, and we absolutely love the many beautiful candid moments that she captured. She put so much effort into making sure we got the best photos possible! It was a fantastic experience working with her.

We hired Stephanie for our wedding on July 30, 2022. She did an absolutely phenomenal job with our engagement photos, and what we've seen so far of the wedding photos are even better! She was friendly, kind, on time, a fair price, and has a great eye for photos!

Wow! Choosing Stephanie to photograph our engagement and wedding was the best decision we made! Her style matched exactly what I was looking for, and she is so personable to work with! She has an eye for detail to make sure the background, lighting, hair, outfit—everything— looks as it should, resulting in so many beautiful memories. We received our photos back so fast and she always replied to my questions quickly! There are so many worries with wedding planning— but one thing I did not have to worry about was the photography because Stephanie provides the highest quality services and professionalism. Thank you Stephanie!

My husband and I were very picky when reviewing photographers as this was easily one of the most important vendors to us. Stephanie went above and beyond in making our special day (and events leading up to it) perfect. She did bridal portraits and an engagement session with us as well. Her and her husband both shot our wedding and we got over a thousand AMAZING pictures. They are kindest people ever and made wedding planning so much less stressful. We met for coffee a few times before our wedding to ensure that she knew exactly what we wanted and we got just that. Could not recommend Stephanie enough!

My husband and I hired Stephanie to shoot our courthouse wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the pictures or the experience we had working with her. Stephanie is very responsive and professional. She helped us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and had great ideas for the various shots. We will be contacting Stephanie for any photography needs in the future!

Stephanie Smith made our wedding process so easy, when it came to photography. From our initial email she was very professional , responds in a timely manner, and is very sweet and sincere. She made our engagement shoot so easy and natural, none of our poses felt forced or awkward. When we received our photos we couldn’t have been any happier! We knew on our wedding day she would do a wonderful job, which put our mind at ease going into the day. We set up a schedule ahead of time and told her who we wanted to take pictures with and what was important for that day! She made me so happy with the photos of my grandmother and I, the first time we had a photo of only us, it meant so much to me I literally cried. I have so many beautiful engagement and wedding photos to reflect on such a beautiful time in my life. I’m forever grateful for finding Stephane, searching on instagram! She is so sweet and very good at what she does! You would not be disappointed, because the last thing you want is to pay a lot of money for photos and be stressed on your wedding.

Stephanie was amazing from the very first email. She was professional, organized & informative. She took our vision & turned into something amazing. By the end of the wedding process she felt like family. We tend to be awkward in front of the camera. She did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable & allowing our personalities & love to show throughout the pictures. We will appreciate her forever for capturing perfect memories that will last a lifetime.

We loved working with Stephanie for our engagement photos! Stephanie was professional and easy to get in touch with. It was our first time getting professional pictures taken together and her warm, reassuring presence that put us at ease during a new experience. Stephanie was incredibly willing to accommodate our hyperactive dog as well. As for the photos themselves, we could not be more thrilled!!! Stephanie was very timely about sharing sneak peeks with us and we got our final album right on time! Her editing style perfectly matched the vibe we were going for and gave us the perfect photos to use for our wedding invitation and website. Overall, we simply cannot overstate how happy we are to have worked with Stephanie and would absolutely, whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!

Stephanie did our maternity photoshoot and did such a wonderful job! She captured such a special moment in time for us and we are forever grateful to have these to look back at and cherish. She was very quick to respond to me and was so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!

What we love about Stephanie is that she is very sweet, genuine, and that she captures real moments. We didn't want the photos to look pose-ish. Everyone loves our photos!

Stephanie is a magician when it comes to capturing your big day. She makes you feel so comfortable and sees the world like no one else. The pictures are absolutely something to treasure, but also so timeless. She captured the flow of the day, from the excited energy, the nervous butterflies, to the embarrassing moments we will use on our friends. Truly, a stunning person, and so wonderful to work with.

Stephanie did our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was so nice and made us both feel so relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. I usually freeze up when people take my picture, and I had never had professional photos done like this, so I was really nervous leading up. But once we got started she made it possible to relax and have fun! My husband and I had so much fun with Stephanie, and the pictures came out above and beyond what I would have ever expected. I really hope we will get a chance to work with her again in the future.

I don’t even know where to start with all of the great things I have to say about Stephanie. To get this out of the way: financially, her packages are amazing for the quality and quantity that you get. But more importantly - she photographed us for our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, our (eventual) wedding after rescheduling 4 times due to covid... and I just couldn’t imagine having a sweeter, brighter, funnier, more amazing photographer (turned friend) to go through all of this with us. She was patient, encouraging, supportive, sympathetic, professional, uplifting... the list goes on and on. One thing I will never ever forget was that I was having conflicting thoughts on whether I could pull off having our dogs take pictures with me and my (now) husband before the ceremony - without either of us seeing each other. She told me that we could make it happen and that I would regret it if we didn’t at least try. “Worst case scenario, it’s a hot mess and we get some really funny pictures.” Stephanie is a huge animal lover and the pictures are incredible. Please, PLEASE hire her for your events and you will not be disappointed. We love you, Stephanie!

Stephanie is amazing and I highly recommend! She is the sweetest person I think I've ever met! Having a good photographer was super important to me so I spent a lot of time researching. One of the things that stood out to me was the style of her photography. The pictures she takes are absolutely stunning! When I met her in person, I knew right away that I wanted her to be our photographer. I immediately felt comfortable around her which is so important when taking pictures. She perfectly documented my entire wedding from start to finish. I can look back on these beautiful photos from years to come and remember every detail of it. Best decision I made for the wedding was book Stephanie!

Working with Stephanie for our wedding photography was a dream! My husband and I planned our wedding in North Carolina remotely and I fell in love with Stephanie’s work that I found on Instagram. After exchanging a few emails, I could tell Stephanie would be so pleasant to work with! We first met in person at our engagement session, with Stephanie traveling to my family’s home on the lake. We had so much fun shooting and Stephanie made us feel super comfortable with posing. Stephanie made sure to note which pictures would be most important to us the day of – pictures of our nieces and nephews, first kiss shots, and the getaway car. It’s so special to have these pictures wonderfully captured. I would absolutely recommend working with Photographs by Stephanie, and will definitely reach out to her for anniversary or maternity shoots in the future. Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie is without a doubt the best photographer. My husband and I loved working with her so much - she is so sweet and easy to work with her. Her work is absolutely amazing, we’ve received so many compliments and so many people asked who took our photos. I highly recommend hiring her, you will not regret it. She is simply the best photographer out there.

Picking Stephanie to be our photographer was THE best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Stephanie is the most genuine, fun, and down to earth person we've ever met. Our engagement, bridal portraits, and wedding pictures were absolutely stunning and perfectly illustrated our love for each other. We're so happy we found Stephanie to be our photographer and we're lucky enough to now call her a friend.

Stephanie was the absolute best photographer for our wedding! She was so easy and fun to work with. I hate being in front of the camera but she made all of our photos look so natural. I am so happy with our gorgeous engagement and wedding photos. She completed all of our photos exactly when she said she would and kept us updated on the editing process. I would 100% recommend her.

We are so happy we hired Stephanie as our wedding photographer. She is so personable and made the entire experience so easy. She did our engagement session, my bridal portraits, and the wedding session. She captured such beautiful and sweet moments. We love our pictures. Thanks Stephanie for an amazing experience!

Stephanie is an amazing photographer! We were so lucky to have her capture our wedding. Stephanie listened to what we wanted and did a great job helping us prepare for the day, with lists, resources, and tips. Stephanie has an eye for catching the special moments of a wedding. She took beautiful portraits of us and our families, but the photos we cherish the most are of the unexpected moments. Our wedding was so beautiful and so much fun and you can see that is all the pictures. If you are looking for a photographer who can truly capture the essence of the wedding, not just take great portraits, Stephanie is your lady!

Stephanie was everything we could have asked for in a wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot, we knew she was going to capture our day and our love so perfectly. Stephanie really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We are so in love with our photos and will cherish them forever :) I highly recommend Stephanie for all your photography needs!

Stephanie is a gem -- as a person and a vendor. We hired her for both our engagement session and our wedding. She was highly responsive and showed up on time. She also coordinated with our videographer before the wedding day to make sure everything went smoothly for our first look. I really appreciated how I didn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day.

My now-husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stephanie, she has been an absolute joy to work with during the wedding planning process. Not only is she very reliable and organized, but she has such a sweet and welcoming demeanor that you can’t help but feel at ease with her right away! Our photos were absolutely gorgeous and we were so grateful to have found her.

Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She captured our engagement session, bridals, and our farmhouse wedding. She was very organized, kind, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer. She captured our love perfectly!

We had the honor of having Stephanie as our photographer for our wedding at The Bradford. The photos turned out amazing as expected. Her expertise in documentary and portrait style photography is immediately evident in her online portfolio, and completely sets her apart from other wedding photographers. Her use of lighting and composition is simply STUNNING. When we called to inquire about her availability, Stephanie’s warmth and easy-going nature came through even over the phone. Stephanie captured our big day perfectly!!

We absolutely loved her! She first sat with us and listened to our love story and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures, and she delivered exactly what we wanted. Photos aren't staged, and she really captures the true emotion of the day. We are thrilled with the results and are glad to now call her a friend. We can't wait to use her again for family pictures down the road!

What can I say about Stephanie other than how AWESOME she is! She is super easy going and so fun to be around. My (now husband) and I are incredibly awkward at taking photos and she was constantly reassuring us that our pictures were beautiful - and they were. I was looking for a photographer with a whimsical style and Stephanie was definitely it. She did our engagement photos, my bridals, and our wedding and even though I'm waiting for the wedding ones to get back (we only got married 2 days ago), I know they will be gorgeous because of her. We would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone!

I'm so glad that we stumbled upon Stephanie's website when looking for a photographer! We couldn't be more pleased with our overall experience and the quality of our photos. Stephanie is organized, efficient, and takes gorgeous, creative photos. She's also incredibly personable and felt more like a friend than a vendor by the time our wedding day arrived. I would highly recommend to all!

I am so happy I chose Stephanie as my wedding photographer!! I may be biased, but the photos she has provided us for our engagement session and wedding day sneak peek are the most gorgeous wedding photos I have ever seen. She has a very unique style that I adore, and such a talent for making you feel at ease in front of the camera so you never look awkward. On top of her undeniable talent, she is just a wonderfully sweet individual with a calming presence I appreciated so much on my wedding day. She has great prices, and is very flexible to work with. I will absolutely hire her again for any other photographer worthy life events!

We chose Stephanie to be our wedding photographer for our wedding this past September and she was incredible. We were amazed by the amount of high quality photographs we received from her and all the moments she was able to capture of our special day. Also, things can be stressful on your wedding day but Stephanie's calm and composed demeanor throughout the day made everything much better. Even though we were running a little late on taking photographs before the sunset, Stephanie was calm and laid back, which allowed us to relax and just enjoy the day. She was easily the best vendor at our wedding. If you want high quality photographs and even higher quality service from a vendor, I would highly recommend Stephanie Smith.

We had a great experience working with Stephanie for our engagement and wedding photos! She was very sweet, encouraged us to act natural and helped to make the entire process seamless and fun. She was very responsive and made us confident that she was on top of things at every step of the way. The photos turned out beautifully, and we'll gladly recommend her services to anyone who's planning their wedding!

Stephanie was a dream to work with at our 50-guest wedding reception! Since we didn't have a day-of coordinator, she was a life-saver when it came to keeping us on schedule. She knew when to direct us to get the shots we had planned for, and when to be flexible about last-minute changes - all while being incredibly sweet and kind. My husband and I are both fairly camera-shy, but Stephanie made us feel super comfortable being photographed all night. To top it all off, she nailed the fine art style we were looking for and captured some fantastic shots of us and our guests. She's a fantastic choice for a wedding photographer!

Stephanie started getting to know us and our vision for the wedding about 10 months prior to the event. She went out of her way to get to know my husband and I, who we are individually and as a couple, and worked with us to create the perfect series of photos- she was very professional, organized, timely, and amazingly detail oriented. She got some photos of things I would never have thought of, through the eye of a creative, artistic and thoughtful photographer- details in photographs that we can know cherish forever. She was also very in tune with the feelings of the day, going out of her way to provide a fun experience when taking group and solo shots, but was also, somehow, able to remain unseen to get really candid shots of friends and family- and she worked really well with our dog too!

Stephanie was AMAZING! We seriously could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was always quick to respond, so easy going, and just an overall wonderful human being! I knew the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, that she would be the perfect fit for us. She trekked through the woods with us for some beautiful photos, and even encouraged us to have photos with our dog and cat (which was super important to me- plus they both loved her as well!)! I never felt rushed with photos or like we missed something. During our whole wedding, I didn't have to worry that a special moment might not be documented. Stephanie was always there, with a smile on her face, doing her thing! She obviously loves what she does and it shows with both her professionalism and the absolutely gorgeous photos she produces. I think I've looked through our wedding album a thousand times and I still can't believe just how freakin' amazing they are! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Stephanie and her work are both AMAZING!! Highly recommend!!

Only book Stephanie if you want the most gorgeous wedding pictures on planet earth. Stephanie was the most professional wedding vendor we had for our day, and everyone in our families loved talking to her! She was so genuinely sweet and clearly loves what she does! She even served as my impromptu therapist when some of the stuff before the wedding was going wrong. She's so personable that you feel like you're working with an old family friend instead of a stuffy, pushy photographer. You don't realize the importance of being photographed "documentary style" until you see the pictures. They're all so natural and you can really see how much we make each other laugh/smile :) Please, don't hesitate in booking her! Our wedding was 3 months ago, and I STILL have wedding guests asking me for her info because the pictures came out so beautifully.

Stephanie Smith is a fantastic person and photographer. She accommodated our daughter into our engagement photos and wedding photos. She did photos that we wanted such as the sparkler photos at night time. She was encouraging and was so kind to us throughout the whole thing. Love her and will be using her services again when we want to do family photos.

We hired Stephanie to take our engagement photos this past fall. Stephanie is very sweet and the engagement shoot went fine. She was great at directing us for the photos but also good at letting us "act natural". However, after the engagement shoot her responsiveness turned into snail mail and I was having to email her multiple times to receive a response. The lack of communication on her end was very frustrating, as you can imagine. I ordered prints from Stephanie November 8th and never received a status on my order. I reached out again (and again) on December 9th only to receive a response from her that there had been an account issue. She did provide us with a little bit of a refund and submitted our order again. We will (hopefully) be receiving the order in the New Year, two months after it was purchased. Overall, I'm just disappointed with the lack of status updates on our purchase and the lack of responses/communication on her end. These photos are very important to us and our experience with Stephanie failed to meet our expectations of a wedding photographer. Stephanie will not be our wedding photographer.

Stephanie is fabulous!! From the first time I contacted her until after the wedding she has been wonderful to work with. Her photography is amazing and so is her personality! We were so relaxed knowing she would be there to capture our day!

Anyone looking through Stephanie's portfolio can easily see her talent. But what the photographs may not show you is the ease and security you'll feel when you choose Stephanie to be a part of your special event. Candid shots were very important to us and seeing all the beautiful examples in her portfolio convinced me she has a knack for finding the perfect light under any circumstance. But what persuaded us to book her for our wedding was her easy going nature, flexibility, and passion for capturing those special moments. She took the time to get to know us and learn about what we envisioned for our big day. When meeting with Stephanie, you can tell she genuinely wants to know and understand what makes her subjects special. What I liked most about our conversations was that urged me to be open and honest about what was most important to us. We were not sure what to expect from an engagement shoot. Originally, we thought it would be awkward, no matter who we worked with. But Stephanie made us feel totally relaxed, like we were hanging out with an old friend. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie and her partner made everything 100% stress free. We did not have to worry about staging shots, or setting up a place for her; she knew exactly what to do and got it done! We were so thankful afterwards to see that they captured shots that we never even thought of and went out of their way to make sure we could look back and remember every tiny detail. Our wedding party was a lot to handle, but they directed our rowdy groomsmen and distracted bridesmaids like pros. And in addition to her fantastic work at the wedding, Stephanie's edits and prints were beautifully done and timely delivered! I look forward to the opportunity to work with Stephanie again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to feel secure knowing that, on your big day, no special moment will be missed.

There are not enough good things I can say about Stephanie. From our initial meeting to our wedding, she exceeded all hopes I could have for a photographer. Amazing photos and amazing human being. She became a friend and I was so glad to have her there on our day. She is timely, professional, kind, takes AMAZING pictures and is the best. If you need a photographer PLEASE keep her in mind!

Stephanie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work leading up to our wedding day, May 21st!!! The day was more than we could have ever imagined! Our wedding was truly a dream come true! So thank you for all your help, hard work and effort because you helped make our day stress free and without a doubt the best day of our lives! The photo previews look amazing and we can't wait to see the rest!

Stephanie was AMAZING. Everyone has been raving about her--guests, bridal party, and me and my husband. Not only were her shots gorgeous and artistic, totally capturing the emotion of the day, but she was so friendly, flexible, and straight-up awesome throughout the whole process. We went crazy over the stunning engagement photos Stephanie did (and she was more than thrilled to go along with our vintage travel themed shoot!) She braved wind and rain to capture incredible shots, and we're so grateful that she did. The end results are spectacular and we'll treasure them for years to come. Stephanie was fantastic and we'd recommend her 100%.

I don't know if I have ever met someone who loves their job more. Stephanie was so sweet and accommodating. We could not be happier with our choice to have her as our wedding photographer. Her style is very organic and natural so you don't have to worry about any awkward posing. If we ever need a photographer in the future, Stephanie Smith is our first choice.

Booking Stephanie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She is professional, well organized, and so thoughtful. She has a great vintage style that fit us and our venue so well. She handled our huge families and million little children with grace and we ended up with amazing photos. Her prices were extremely reasonable and we just loved getting print outs from her afterwards.

Stephanie was seriously the best thing about our wedding! Her style of photography was perfect for us, and she captured so many beautiful moments that I didn't even notice until after I saw the photos. She is the sweetest person ever and made us (super awkward people) feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I am so thankful that we had her photograph our wedding and will ALWAYS refer my engaged friends to her.

Stephanie is an AMAZING photographer! When searching for photographers for my wedding, her photos immediately stood out as exactly the kind of theme and feel I was going for. We had an engagement session with her and she was so bright and friendly it helped to ease the tension of posing. She understood the style of photographs we wanted, knowing exactly how to catch cute moments as well as naturally pose us for sweet pictures. Also -- very quick turnaround on the photos!! I couldn't wait to see how they came out and it didn't take long! As for the wedding, she was fully prepared to get all of the shots we wanted and was receptive and adapted to any last minute changes and additions. We LOVE Stephanie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic pictures! We will definitely be calling on her again in the future!

Stephanie was a gift from above! I can't quite put into words how beautiful her work is, and what an incredibly kind and considerate person she is. She took our vision and made it a reality! From beginning to end she was accessible, professional, and a ton of fun! We highly recommend Photographs by Stephanie to anyone looking for an extremely talented photographer to capture their important life event. Couple's make many decisions while planning a wedding. I can confidently say that this was one of the best we made throughout the entire planning process. We loved getting to know Stephanie, and she will be on our speed-dial for all of our upcoming photo-worthy life moments. Can't wait to work with her again!

cant thank you enough for capturing the beauty of our day! You did an amazing job, the photos are just stunning! I often find myself browsing through the pictures you've taken and all because of the beauty and awesomeness you capture every time. You were really able to capture some great intimate and candid shots. Thank You so much again, we couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. We will definitely be using you in the future. -Valerie & Keith-

Stephanie was such a joy to work with. She captured our wedding day so beautifully and told our love story through her photography. Her style is laid back, comfortable but chic which fit our personalities. We spoke many times before we had our engagement shoot. She got to knows us well and took such care in capturing the essence of us. For our wedding, Stephanie planned her entire day around us and incorporated our style along with her artist vision to deliver such beautiful images. I can't say enough how much time and effort she put into her work and it showed on the pictures. Thank you, Stephanie for helping make our day magical and capturing this day in time for ever.

We don't have enough words to express how grateful we are for Stephanie. She really feels like a friend at this point! From our engagement to well after our wedding she has been spoiling us with warm words and surprise gifts (hello beautiful box of wedding prints!) We are really tickled with our photos and our family and friends are still raving about her. She was seen but never heard, literally, she just blended in and really captured our entire day beautifully. This is a lifelong professional relationship people, Stephanie will be taking pics for our special events and growing family for years to come!

Hands down, the absolute BEST vendor from my entire wedding! I could not give Stephanie a higher recommendation - she is incredible. Stephanie is extremely professional, kind, talented and makes you feel very comfortable, you actually forget she is there and just get lost in the moments together! The quality of her work is OUTSTANDING. She takes the time to perfect every single photograph and makes it extremely difficult to pick a favorite:) I would recommend Stephanie to anyone! She has exceptional follow up, is thorough, organized and actually felt more like a friend than a vendor on our wedding day!! The quality of her work is noteworthy, she has an exceptional eye for capturing good lighting as well as the raw moments for your big day. I would give Stephanie a 5 star rating and personally recommend her to anyone! You should absolutely hire Stephanie for any monumental moment in your life, you will not regret it!!
