Stephanie was fantastic to work with for our wedding photos. During the event, she captured our moments perfectly without ever being intrusive, and the final photos are stunning. Very easy communication. Overall, I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking a wedding photographer.

Stephanie captured the best moments of our wedding. Our photos came back better than we ever could have imagined - very natural, real, and effortless.

Stephanie did a truly beautiful job in photographing our wedding, we cannot recommend her enough. She is a beyond talented photographer and knew seemingly everything about how to capture the joy and natural beauty of the day in a photojournalistic way.
Any questions?

HIGHLY recommend Picture-Minded! Stephanie has an incredibly creative eye for photography and our pictures came out lovely. We are not models - but somehow through our lightly guided and instructed direction from Stephanie - we are so happy with the way we look and the naturalness that comes through in the photos!

My husband and I worked with Stephanie for our wedding. The pictures came back better than we could have ever imagined. We have received many compliments on our wedding photos. Thank you!

Picture-Minded Photography was a really great fit for our aesthetic. Our photos are timeless and crafted so well. We highly recommend Picture-Minded!

Seeing our day come to life through Stephanie’s photography was above and beyond what we expected! Our photos are absolutely stunning, she has great energy and certainly brings a whole lot of skill and artistic vision to her craft. We are so happy to have found her!
1/01/2023 • Sarah T
With every image Stephanie brings skill and her own artistic vision to life. We are so happy to have chosen her to be our photographer.
12/31/2022 • Rebecca E
We hired Stephanie for a family session and the results were stunning. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and we are so happy we chose her to photograph. Thank you Stephanie!
12/30/2022 • Gwendolyn R
We couldn’t have made a better choice than Picture-Minded Photography. Stephanie was great to work with from day 1. From our initial conversations, it was a perfect combination of our vision and her expertise. She made us feel comfortable and it was great spending several hours with her on our wedding day. And in the end pictures were everything we hoped for!
12/29/2022 • Bill J
Stephanie’s photos were beautiful and she was wildly fun and easy to work with. She knew all the spots in Brooklyn and how to make us look great in them. I’m not a photo guy at all and had so much fun during our engagement shoot I was kind of sad when it was over. For our wedding, she nailed the details (and picked up so many things I didn’t notice) and captured the vibe of the party. Clicking through our album puts me right back in every wonderful moment. Stephanie will be our go-to photographer for family shots down the road.
10/10/2021 • Alexa R
Stephanie will be our wedding photographer, and we just had our engagement photo shoot, part of our wedding package. During the shoot, Stephanie's relaxed, personable approach made us feel very welcome and eased our anxieties. Having since received the photos, we are even more excited to have Stephanie photograph our wedding day! The album is full of simply stunning photographs thanks to her artistic eye. We couldn't recommend Picture-Minded enough!

Stephanie photographed our elopement in Central Park and she did a phenomenal job! She knows exactly how to use natural elements to make you be the star of the pictures. I cant wait for her to photograph our post covid celebration next march!
1/13/2021 • Carol G
As a wedding planner, I have worked with Stephanie on different occasions and simply love her style and creative photographic energy. She has also photographed my family and captured special moments of ours. I am always very excited to see the events through her eyes in each gorgeous image. Besides her talent and professionalism, Stephanie has amazing attention to detail. I highly recommend her to photograph your special event.
1/09/2021 • Kristen M
Stephanie is a superstar at her craft. She provides such passion, creativity, and professionalism in her photography. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a truly talented and fabulous individual. Thank you Stephanie!
10/29/2020 • Sarah M
We loved working with Stephanie! She made our vision come to life with just 3 weeks notice and our photos are GORGEOUS. She was professional and really responsive to what we were envisioning. And, best of all, we had so much fun! Thank you Stephanie for the most beautiful photos we could imagine.
10/29/2020 • Colleen E
I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Stephanie take photos of our family. She has a beautiful eye and was quick to edit and get our photos back to us. I picked her style specifically for her direction not only in the setting but also in the lighting. I will hire her again for a bigger event.
10/29/2020 • Kelly M
Stephanie was super professional and so easy and fun to work with. She showed up ready to work, and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. I threw my shoes off to dance later in the night and saw her posing them under the light on the rocks for a photo. Just one example of her thoughtfulness and creativity as a photographer. She captured the mood of the day perfectly, I couldn’t be happier.

It was SO great to have Stephanie (Picture-Minded Photography) photograph the memories from our special day. We really appreciated the questionnaire she had us fill out ahead of time, because this allowed her to know what things we were interested in capturing. Of course, once she arrived, she re-confirmed everything. Honestly, her work on her Instagram spoke for itself and we knew that we could let her have complete artistic freedom with capturing the beauty of the day...so we asked her to go for whatever inspired her. She was very creative with our "details" shots, but also she was great at helping set us up for posing for our stills. She was so calm and, spontaneous with some of the ideas, like when she asked us to take pictures by the water on the way to the Ceremony. She's a great artist with a great eye and on top of that, a friendly and warm person. We can't thank her enough!!!!
11/02/2019 • Jennylee D
Stephanie was great! Really made us all feel comfortable and got really great shots for our special day! Definitely recommend hiring her!
10/31/2019 • Anne H
Stephanie was hired to shoot my Daughters wedding and did such a phenomenal job we hired her to photograph our family around the holidays. We love all the photos and could not be happier - we are so lucky to have Stephanie as our photographer!
10/30/2019 • Francis B
Stephanie is very attentive to detail, has a great eye, produces amazing results, and is incredibly responsive. We still have our engagement photos after 11 years and they look amazing.
10/30/2019 • Jackie T
Stephanie is amazing! She is a great photographer with an artistic eye and also very easy to be around. I’ve had the chance to work with Stephanie twice, and both times she far surpassed any expectations that I had. I would highly recommend her!
10/28/2019 • Ann C
We just finished an engagement shoot with Stephanie and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures and the overall experience! She came early to our meeting place to scout out the area and when we arrived she welcomed us and made us (including my 5 year old daughter) feel at ease. We didn’t know what to expect but Stephanie explained everything and took her time. Although it was the end of the day, we never felt rushed. We received our pictures in the timeframe she mentioned and we love every shot. We are looking forward to working with her for our wedding!
10/28/2019 • Navya S
Stephanie was wonderful, warm and very professional. She made our family feel comfortable and got some really good photographs. I would highly recommend her.
10/25/2019 • Jennifer H
Stephanie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She shot my sister's wedding in Brooklyn and she did my daughter's newborn photos and her first birthday party. She is a genius at capturing candids and the moment. We will cherish her photos forever and she is our go-to for any family event now! We don't only love her work but she is just a pleasure to be around!! I wouldn't work with anyone else :)
10/25/2019 • Caitlin F
Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Total professional but laid back with a great calming energy which is definitely needed on such a stressful day! She was great at capturing the types of moments I was looking for and was gentle in providing direction for more structured portraits. Love all my photos and how effortless the whole process was. Thanks Stephanie!!!
10/24/2019 • Jeremy K
Stephanie took our engagement photos over the summer and we could have been more thrilled with the results. She captured the style we were going for and we ended up with multiple shots we loved. Cant wait for her to shoot the wedding!
4/12/2019 • Kevin J
Stephanie is absolutely lovely to work with! She took her time to take breathtaking shots of us that my family and friends still rave about. I love her style of photography and photo editing, as well as her silhouette shots and shots that play with the light and shadows. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
12/29/2018 • Sarah H
Stephanie was awesome!! She is so friendly and calm and made us feel really comfortable in our engagement photo shoot (no easy task, as we had never been in front of a camera and we are pretty private people). She knew many different spots in Brooklyn Bridge Park to go, and we ended up with so many amazing photos with totally different backgrounds, all with vibrant colors. We used two on our save the date (and have been hearing from our guests how amazing they look), several others on our website, and plan to print some for ourselves and our parents. We loved Stephanie and recommend her to anyone!
12/04/2018 • April D
Stephanie was an absolute dream photographer! We were impressed with her work from the start, and after our initial conversation we knew she was the perfect fit. Her laid back nature was a calming force that put us at ease throughout the engagement photo shoot as well as during our wedding day. Stephanie has a true natural talent for photography and her brilliant vision captured our most important moments that we will cherish forever.
10/31/2018 • James C
We're so glad we worked with Stephanie for our engagement photos! She was really professional, made the session enjoyable, and - most importantly - captured some amazing shots.
10/30/2018 • Julia L
We had a very low key, non-traditional wedding at a small and beautiful seaside inn on the coast of Maine. Over the course of the weekend Stephanie managed to capture all of the special moments while completely blending in. Even the family photos happened easily, and came out perfectly. She did a great job of matching our vibe both in her easy style and the feel of the pictures themselves. She’s professional and a delight to work with.
Looking back at our photos it’s hard to imagine things were that perfect, but we have the pictures alto prove it.
10/28/2018 • Ann M
Wow! Where do I begin... Stephanie truly exceeded our expectations. We initially brought Stephanie on board to shoot our engagement photos, but when we saw the photos, we knew that we needed her to shoot the wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and everything was handled seamlessly from start to finish. The photos are stunning!! We can’t recommend her enough.
10/28/2018 • David K
We were so thrilled to have Stephanie be our wedding photographer. Everything from our engagement photos to our final wedding album was superb. She shoots with such ease and captured all our good angles;), as well as all our wedding details in such a beautifully photographed way. We feel so lucky to have found Stephanie and to have the perfect story of our wedding told through her photos, which captured everything so gorgeously.
10/13/2018 • Aleshia W
Stephanie’s photographs are effortlessly candid, visually interesting & stunning in quality. Stephanie was very pleasant to work with. We spent several hours shooting our engagement photos but her calming personality made the entire experience so much fun and the time fly by! Her professionalism is very impressive. She wasn’t just responsive, every response was so detailed she answered questions that you hadn’t even gotten around to asking yet. Stephanie has an amazing work ethic. This was made very apparent by the scouting & research she obviously did for our engagement session. The entire shoot was detailed, organized yet enjoyable. We can not recommend Stephanie highly enough!
10/05/2018 • Noel G
We could not have gotten luckier to have Stephanie as our photographer! My fiance and I began looking only for a photographer for our engagement shoot and found Stephanie on The Knot. We absolutely fell in love with how vivid, happy, and personal her photos are. The way her edits brought out the colors was striking. Each photo was naturally beautiful and genuine.
Throughout the process, Stephanie was always professional, flexible, and willing to accommodate all of our requests / answer every one of our questions. You could tell she is a seasoned photographer. We met Stephanie the day of our engagement shoot. She arrived much earlier than us to scope out the best areas and took us all over to get many diverse shots. She is so easy to talk to and she spent time getting to know us both. While shooting, she provided just enough guidance so that we felt comfortable in front of the camera and just enough freedom so that our love and natural smiles showed through. Since our shoot was at 2 locations, Stephanie came with us (from Brooklyn to Manhattan!) to take pictures at the pier we got engaged. It was forecasted to rain soon, but she was determined to get in as many shots as possible beforehand!
We could not have been any happier with how our photos turned out when we received our album. Every detail was perfect. All in all, Stephanie is amazing to work with! She goes above and beyond for her clients. After our experience, we were so THRILLED to book her as our wedding photographer as well. We cannot wait to work with her again!
7/09/2018 • Alex H
Love her! Such an amazing photographer, so easy to work with from beginning to end. Really such a pleasure having her at our engagement party and are so happy with every single shot she took. We can't wait for our album!

Stephanie has photographed two of large celebrations of mine celebrating significant life events. She has a unique ability to capture the feeling and emotion of the event so that you are transported right back to the evening itself. She seamlessly integrates herself into the event so that you don't even notice she is there, yet she captures the entire event (and all the guests) so well. She also captures creative and unique shots of the event as a whole. Stephanie is very easy to work with, has a kind and can do attitude and is super responsive. I intend to continue to trust Stephanie to capture the images for all of my life's most important events!
5/10/2018 • Jeff T
Stephanie is a fantastic photographer. I love her photography. It’s whimsical, romantic, yet natural - exactly what you want for engagement or wedding photography. Nothing worst than an overly produced engagement photo.
She is creative, has a great concept of lighting and is very personable. She makes you extremely comfortable - even makes you laugh, which ultimately makes the photos look more natural.
5/08/2018 • Beth M
Stephanie shot our wedding a few years back and has continued to be our go-to family photographer over the years. She is always somehow able to capture those magical moments so effortlessly. Now that she is starting to shoot weddings full time I know that she is going to provide endless memories for all the lucky couples that come her way!

What an eye! We couldn't have been happier to have Stephanie photograph our wedding. The photos truly captured all the special memories from our day from beginning to end. Stephanie was great with organizing our family shots but is also very unintrusive when photographing. My family loved her! She is an amazing photographer!
I first immersed myself into wedding photography when I began working for a wedding photographer in 2009. Weddings soon became my creative playground combining three of my favorite types of photography into one: portraiture, lifestyle, and photojournalism. With nearly 10 years experience shooting weddings and 20 years since I first pick up a camera (and never really put it down;), I have honed my style skills to provide exceptional work for my clients. I love jumping into your day armed and ready to capture the most extraordinary fleeting moments in real time.
