Stacey Renee Photography

ugh the little things, like posing for photos, our first look, and cutting the cake. Hope to work with her again in the future!

d to work with her - she made us comfortable and quickly understood our personalities in terms of what would work best for us. Our wedding plans changed 3 times due to COVID restrictions and Stacey could not have been more accommodating or patient throughout. On the wedding day, Stacey took two awkward people (who don't photograph well) and produced photos that I am crazy about. What stood out particularly was the feedback from our guests - everyone had a blast with Stacey and I think that came through in our photographs. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

ook. Stacey also was able to wrangle our families to get pictures of with of our extended families (no small feat might I add). She was continually open to new ideas of pictures I wanted to add, including going into a field of dahlias to take photos. Also she was timely getting the photos back to us, and we had them in time for Christmas presents, which made the whole family happy. I would highly recommend Stacey for any wedding photography needs you may have.

de's face! We did not want to do the veil-covering-bride-and-groom portrait. She said “Trust me.” Well, trust us to know our own tastes - we didn’t like the outcome. Our photos were taken at Mill on the River, with beautiful fall foliage. She shot all the bride & bridemaid photos looking down at us, so there is zero foliage and lots of muddy water behind us. It ruined the photos. She also shot all of my husband’s photos with the sun making him look bald. Because of that, he doesn’t like most of his photos - from his own wedding! We expressly told her we wanted every black and white image to have a color version, because we didn’t like black and white photos. She did not deliver; we had to especially request them. Here’s the crowning offense: She stopped us – the bride and groom - in the middle of our reception and asked to leave. She sounded bored and claimed she was “Getting the same shots over and over.” She wanted to break her own contract and leave early. We said no, since we had followed the contract and paid for the time. Turns out, there were many wedding guests who never made it into the photos! What were those “same photos over and over,” if she missed so many people? Moreover, stopping the bride and groom in the middle of the reception to try and break her contract is blisteringly unprofessional. Also, she never meets her deadlines. She swore our engagement photos would be with us in two weeks. It was closer to two months. The wedding photos were also delayed, without apology. Finally, a huge post-wedding hassle: When she was ordering products for us using wedding photos (what few we actually liked), she called me and insisted that I had chosen the wrong photo for the product. I told her to email me instead, because I knew by now that this woman was slippery and would try to avoid being locked down. In multiple emails, I told her exactly what photo I wanted on exactly what product. She ordered, instead, what she thought would look better. She then argued with me about how “We talked on the phone!” and ignored the written-in-black-and-white emails that proved she had changed what I had ordered. She only capitulated when my husband emailed her. I guess my word and all my proof wasn’t good enough! We will try to get a reshoot - with actual fall foliage this time! - on our first anniversary. We will not be seeking Ms. Britner’s help. Post script – Bride beware, Ms. Britner will rant about her ex husband when you first meet her!
