I have had the pleasure of working for Stacy for the past 8 years as a wedding album designer. From the moment that I met her it was evident that she was blessed with natural photographic skills and concepts. I have seen her photography experience blossom and evolve more and more over the years.
So in my opinion, it was an extremely obvious choice when deciding who would be my wedding and boudoir photographer. It was amazing to be on the other side of the experience and getting to see Stacy and Shawn's extreme level of professionalism and organization on the day of and leading up to my wedding. They are such kind and thoughtful people and they also make a wonderful team!
I also rented her studio to get ready before my wedding and I have never seen a better environment for this. A lot of my friends have gotten ready at hotels before their wedding and Stacy's studio is just so much better. She has designated areas to get your hair and makeup done as well as tons of existing backdrops that are setup and ready for photos.
Stacy has an amazing way of making you feel relaxed, comfortable and at ease during boudoir shoots and on your wedding day. I am so thankful that I chose her for these important moments in my life. The quality of her photos are just incredible!

Quick review - Stacy and her team are amazing!! Wonderfully talented photographers with amazing personalities and a ton of experience with weddings. We would absolutely recommend Stacy and her team for any of your photography needs, especially your wedding photos. More details below.
My wife and I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera so we were nervous about selecting our photographer for our wedding. Any of our hesitations were immediately put aside the moment we met with Stacy. Right away there was an excellent connection between us and we knew we'd be in great hands. In that first meeting Stacy knew exactly what kind of style we were looking for in our photos and she was extremely thorough with her overview of the whole process.
Stacy is an incredibly skilled photographer. With technology nowadays most people with a nice camera, or phone, can take “good” photos. Stacy has the technical skills and experience (and equipment) to take AMAZING photos. She goes beyond just being an excellent photographer though. She has an amazing personality that helps make it feel like it’s just you and your partner; you even forget at times that there’s someone there taking pictures of you. She blends the right amount of professionalism with fun to make sure the entire experience is an enjoyable one. Never in my life have I enjoyed getting my picture taken as much as I did with Stacy and Shawn.
Stacy and her team know more than just photography though. They really know weddings. They know how stressful the day can be, and they know how important it is to the bride and groom. Stacy goes above and beyond to help manage the stress, manage the overall timeline, and make sure that the bride and groom (and everyone else) is where they need to be (and when) to make sure you have exactly the photos you want to memorialize your day.
It’s only been 3 weeks since our wedding and we’re already trying to think of other opportunities to work with Stacy and her team again.

My wife and I used Stacy Smith Studios as our photographers for our wedding in August of 2022 and were 100% satisfied! We are not models by any means and Stacy did a great job of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement session which carried through to the day of our wedding. Her and Shawn have such a great dynamic, they kept us, our family, and our bridal party laughing when we were supposed to be stressed. What we loved most about Stacy is that she’s not afraid to try something new, no matter how crazy it may be, to get THE shot. The photos she and Shawn took for us on our wedding day are absolutely beautiful and are the most wonderful way to help us remember that day forever. So so so many of our friends have told us how beautiful our pictures are. The quality of her work really speaks for itself! Overall, 10/10 recommend Stacy Smith Studios for your photography needs. We will be in touch with Stacy for all of our future photo needs!

Stacy & Shawn were the most incredible photographers EVER!!! I truly cannot recommend them enough! During our engagement shoot my car battery died and Stacy literally pushed my car out of oncoming traffic like the superhero that she is. She then proceeded to leave it in our court to have the shoot or not. Feeling up for it, she literally helped us crank it out while we waited for AAA and even offered to drive us home! She's an angel! She had us laughing and it definitely put me at ease for our wedding day. She knows all the shots, angels, and poses and totally knows what she is doing. She is as good as they come and I cannot recommend her enough!

Stacy and Sean are absolutely amazing!! She did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos. But not only is she a great photographer, but her and Sean made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our wedding day and genuinely had fun with us. They were part of the party and we loved it! Highly recommend!!

Stacy and her team are amazing!! I met Stacy when she did Boudoir photos for me. After that session I knew I wanted her to shoot our wedding. We went in for a consultation and as we were leaving my husband said to me “hire her”! He is a shy person and doesn’t always feel comfortable in social situations. He said that Stacy made him feel so comfortable! Stacy did our engagement pictures- we had so much fun during the shoot and the pictures are perfect!!! The day of our wedding was a whirlwind but Stacy and her team captured it all- Even better than what we could have hoped for!! Everyone that I’ve shown my pictures too so far is amazed and I’ve even had some other recent bride friends say they were jealous as our pictures came out so beautiful!

Stacy shot our wedding in July and we are SO in love with our photos! She was the best vendor we chose across the board, and we 100% recommend her and her team! I had full confidence knowing that I could relax and Stacy and her team would get each photograph we wanted. Every important aspect of our day was captured, and we will treasure these photos for a lifetime.

I rented out out Stacy Smith's studio for me and my girls to get ready in before the wedding and I have to say it was one of the best things we spent money on! Stacy was so accommodating and honestly takes care of, and thinks of everything to make the day perfect and stress free. She let me drop off stuff ahead of time and gave the option of picking up stuff the next day if needed. The studio was also fully stocked with any little things you can think of so there wasn't any need to bring a million things like you would with a hotel. The space is huge which is awesome when you have hair and makeup happening and I was able to have other people stop by to say hi that morning without it feeling crowded. The bedroom for pictures is so beautiful in person, I can't wait to get our professional pictures back! BOOK IT, you wont regret it!

Stacy was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I are both weren’t confident with having our pictures taken but Stacy knew exactly how to direct us and make it fun. She was extremely flexible. We brought our dogs for our engagement session and she was able to capture some amazing photos with them and then just the two of us. When it came to our wedding day she was excited, full of energy, and very professional. She took her time and captured every little detail. She was able to take things I mentioned were special to me and capture them in ways I would’ve never dreamed. We also had Shawn as our second photographer and he complimented Stacy so well. It was so fun looking at our photos from each perspective that they had. Stacy really knows what she’s doing and is able to direct a bridal party and family effortless fo make sure that all photos are done one time. She also knows how to take away stress and make it fun!! I highly recommend Stacy for your wedding. She is worth it and cares about her clients. Before we even got our photos back I was confident with how they would turn out and booked her for a family photo shoot for Christmas. She is amazing and you won’t regret hiring her!

Renting Stacys studio was by far the best decision I made for my wedding! The space is not only GORGEOUS, but Stacy was so easygoing and accommodating that it truly made the day run seamlessly. Everyone in my wedding party as well as the hair and makeup stylists couldn't stop raving about the space. There is plenty of parking available and more than enough room for people to get ready. The set up for the bedroom is UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL for taking pictures!! The best part of this is that no one felt like they were hosting or worried about cleaning up prior to leaving. Stacy handles a lot of that. We were able to get the key to the studio beforehand so were able to bring a lot of our stuff prior and you are also able to leave things there overnight, including cars, to make it easier on you. She made it so easy for us to just enjoy the day. I would recommend using this space to anyone!

Stacy was recommended to us by a friend after our photographer cancelled on us due to Covid restrictions between states. With 2 months to go Stacy jumped right in. We had an incredible engagement session with her at a beach she recommended. She got our photos back to us very quickly and they were spectacular! 3 weeks later it was our wedding day and she and her second photographer Shawn were so great! They made us feel so comfortable and helped us get all our photos done before the ceremony so we could enjoy the whole night. 2 weeks later we received our sneak peeks and they were stunning! Waiting now for the rest of our photos to be edited and I can not wait to see them! Best out come for a bad situation that could have ever happened!

We chose Stacy, because after doing a venue walk through we became nervous about hiring outside of the country. Stacy came highly recommend and was an amazing asset to our wedding. Stacy flew to Mexico and mingled with all of our guest prior to the wedding. This was game changer because by the time the wedding happened, Stacy knew who was who and was able to get those who normally would not photograph to open up. We highly recommend Stacy because she not only listened to all of our concerns and request,s but she followed through. She also made us feel very comfortable and had great suggestions for us. Finally, our wedding was a same sex wedding and Stacy made the whole process go smoothly. She helped with suggestions and most importantly made us feel special and comfortable.

Stacy was an excellent find for our wedding! She took so much of the stress away by thinking of everything—from the perfect lighting to emergency pins. Plus she helped keep us on time so we wouldn’t miss our bonus sky ride or sunset pics! The pictures were gorgeous and we just couldn’t have done it without her!

From the first time we met Stacy, we could tell she was extremely organized, thorough, and passionate about what she does. In our first meeting (before even hiring her!) she was honest and walked through the entire day with us so we would have an outline and idea of what our day would look like. She had examples of albums and her work on the table for us to review and answered every question we had thoroughly. Having our engagement pictures taken by Stacy was a great trial run and helped us to better connect with her, which lead to a seamless wedding day! On our wedding day, Stacy and Shawn arrived early and made taking pictures so easy and comfortable. They were never in the way and offered a helping hand with things that weren’t even photography related! They completed every picture on our list and completely understood the vision we had for some of our pictures! They worked cooperatively with our other vendors and helped us to have an amazing wedding day. You can truly tell Stacy and Shawn love what they do as it reflects in their attitudes, professionalism, and final product. We are THRILLED with our wedding photos and can’t wait to share them with all of our family and friends. If you are looking for a wedding photographer- or any type of photographer- Stacy Smith Studio’s is the way to go! We will hire them again in a heartbeat as our future unfolds!

Stacy and Shawn were great to work with and work so well together! Stacy is very knowledgeable and talented and made us feel so comfortable since we first met her. With all the run arounds and last minute stress/changes on the wedding day, she and Shawn were professional, flexible, fun and stayed on top of everything. She made sure to get photos based on my Pinterest board and all the must haves from our shot list. She also had a lot of cool ideas that made beautiful photos. Our engagement and wedding photos came out amazing! We absolutely love them! We wish her and Shawn all the success in their work and will definitely book them in the future!

I rented out the studio for me and my girls to get ready for my 9/14 wedding and was it breathe taking. The studio was huge plenty of room for all of us plus some to get ready in. My photographers were like a kid at disney with all the photo ops they definitely wasn't expecting that with the mill look on the outside they couldn't wait to start shooting. Stacy provides so many little extras microwave, fridge, bluetooth speaker, utensils, plates and even cups and glasses which was great having less stuff to remember to bring on an already hectic day. Stacy and Jake were very responsive,friendly, and accommodating for my group even when we ran out of time and just had to go and leave some stuff behind. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend them to everyone. Everyone has been raving about the pictures!!!!

Stacy is amazing to work with! My husband and I live in NC and were on vacation in RI to plan our wedding. Stacy was able to see us with the tight schedule we had, as we were there for a week. We had some idea of what we wanted for pictures. We met with Stacy and she takes the time to get to know you as a couple, your family dynamic and bridal party. After meeting with her and leaving, we looked at each other and said “She’s the one!” What we had decided for a budget didn’t matter anymore... we knew we had to hire Stacy. We also had engagement photos done and due to vacation time and traveling Stacy agreed to work around our schedule and did them a week before the wedding. She’s very responsive, flexible and most of all easy to work with! I would recommend her and her team to anyone who asks! She has definitely gained a life long customer with us!

Why I chose Stacy Smith for my Destination Wedding!!!
This review is lengthy, but if you're a bride in search of a great photographer please read this in it's entirety. You won't be sorry! Stacy Smith is AMAZING!
Hiring wedding vendors is an overwhelming process to say the least! Where do you even begin!?!? I searched and searched for photographers and then I heard about Stacy through a friend who hired her to photograph her wedding and raved about her photography work. I then heard about Stacy again from a friend who is a small business owner who met Stacy at a small business event and had nothing but wonderful things to say about her as a person. This girls name just kept coming up with such good reviews, so I decided I would give her a go for our engagement photos. I knew it would only be for the engagement photos because we were having a destination wedding and I automatically assumed that we could not budget in to house another person besides ourselves while in Mexico.
So we went to the engagement shoot not having a clue what to expect, and let me tell you, we had an absolute blast with Stacy! She is fun and outgoing and is willing to do whatever it takes to get a good shot! She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while in front of the camera. We laughed so much, I swear we almost forgot she was even shooting pictures! We had only just met her, but felt like we'd known her for years! We maybe spent an hour to 90 minutes with her and on our way back to the cars asked her what it would take to get her to accompany us to Mexico to shoot our wedding!
Before the big day, I decided to have Stacy shoot a boudoir session with me as a gift for my husband. What an amazing experience that was. Stacy made me feel sexy and confident while in front of the camera. She gave me tips ahead of time on how to get a good shot as well as provided me with the option to have my hair and makeup done by a professional at her studio before the shoot. She went above and beyond in helping me prepare and in the end provided me with a gorgeous leather bound book filled with photos for my husband to enjoy. ( He LOVES it BTW!)
Fast forward to our big day, in Mexico. We decided that we did not want to hire the photographer that the resort provided. We felt that not getting to know them ahead of time would never allow us to feel comfortable in front of the camera and we would never have the opportunity to connect with them on a personal level. For those reasons, I felt our photos would suffer and I decided against hiring anyone but Stacy! And to be honest, the price to bring her was compareable to the photographers prices there at the venue! Needless to say...Stacy came! Stacy spent a few days in sunny Mexico with us and we were given the opportunity to work with a unique photographer that we've gotten to know on a personal level. She knew what we liked and didn't like in photos, she knew how we interacted with one another as well as how we interacted with her and the camera. We felt 100% comfortable while she photographed us because by the time our destination wedding rolled around, we felt close enough to Stacy to be able to call her our friend. The day of our wedding was much like the day of the previous photo sessions we had. Lots of laughing, fun, and being ourselves! Stacy had scoped out the resort to find a perfect spot for our "first look" photos, she laid in the White sands of Mexico to get the perfect shot of our group toast, and even participated in a push up challenge with our best man! We had an absolute blast!
The day after our wedding we went out for a sunset trash the dress session. We trekked through some rocky beach water to make our way to a secluded area that provided indescribable scenary for our shots. Stacy showed no hesitation in bringing all of her equipment out there with us. She was willing to do what she had to do to get the most amazing shots imaginable. What I love most about Stacy, is how passionate she is about her job. She LOVES what she does and it shows in her work. She gets so giddy and excited when reviewing photos scanning for blinking eyes and imperfections. It is a joy to watch her master what she truely loves to do.
We feel truely blessed to have found Stacy, grateful that she was able and willing to travel outside the country to shoot our wedding, and privileged to have her artwork showcase some of the greatest moments in our lives. Our wedding will NOT be our last photography session with Stacy Smith Studios!
We have zero regrets in our decision to bring Stacy to shoot our destination wedding! And you won't either!

I heard about Stacy from a friend and we are so glad we hired her and her team! I knew from the first time meeting her she would do an amazing job and she blew us out of the water. I rented the studio to get ready before the wedding and the space is so magical and breathtaking. We also rented the photo booth, all of our guests absolutely loved it! She put together a scrap book at the end of the night of all the photo strips and our guests could write us all a special message. I can not put into words what an AMAZING job she did. Stacy will do anything to get the most perfect shot......she was in the marsh! Our ceremony was very emotional and every shot she captured was beautiful. Every time I look at the photos I get emotional, I feel as though I am in that moment again. I couldn't be more grateful for her and the wonderful works she does!!

Stacy was amazing to work with. From our first meeting with her, I knew I didn't want to work with anyone else.
She also did our engagement photos which came out beautifully. We also hired her to take photographs at our rehearsal party, and we were so grateful to have professional photographs from that event as well as the wedding. She was extremely professional (and so was her colleague) and fun to work with. Most importantly, she had a really calm demeanor the day of the wedding, so I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything. She's fantastic. I highly recommend her!

You will 120% not be sorry for choosing Stacy Smith Studios as your photographer for ANY event!!! I can't even begin to describe how special she made our big day. From the first day we met, to our (complimentary) engagement photos, to the wedding and everywhere in between she has been there for us. We first met Stacy at a friend's wedding and we were blown away by the engagement and wedding pictures she took for them. Stacy is one of the sweetest women we've ever met, offering to be there if we needed anything at all throughout the whole wedding process. On our wedding day her and Shawn were there excited as ever with huge smiles on their faces. Also, it had rained the whole morning before the wedding, so the ground was pretty wet, but during our photos at cocktail hour, Shawn wouldn't even let me move unless he was behind me holding my dress off the ground. He was so funny, kind and easy-going. They had both memorized a majority of the pictures that I had pinned on Pinterest and made sure they made most of them happen. Stacy even brought a giant picture frame as a prop for one of the pictures that I wanted. We received more compliments about the photographers than anything else on our wedding day. We also had a Photo Booth through the studio in which Taryn spent the whole night dealing with the little kids that wanted to take photos every 5 minutes (and help put the book together) with a smile on her face. It was so much fun going through the photobook the next day! Everyone was so impressed that they stayed as long as they did, that they reached out to our family and friends asking if they would pose for pictures, and because they were such nice people. They all truly made sure they captured every second of the day and it meant so much to us. We are so excited to see all of our photos and share them with everyone. We have no doubt in our minds that they are going to be AMAZING! If you are trying to decide whether or not to go with Stacy Smith Studios, let me decide for you. DO IT!

After searching tirelessly for a photographer for our wedding we came across Stacy Smith and after our initial meeting, my fiancé (at the time) and I were 100% certain that she was the one! She was organized, creative and made us both feel extremely at ease and comfortable. Stacy and her team are so professional and welcoming. They know exactly how to get the perfect shots and are always willing to go above and beyond. I will NEVER use another photographer again. Stacy and her team have a customer for life with us. We can’t say enough good things about them and the service they provide. On our wedding day the one thing I was not worried about was Stacy & her team. She made sure I was stress free and kept us all on schedule. With all of the chaos going on the day of the wedding it was such a relief to have Stacy and her team there.

Stacy was professional, flexible, and accommodating. On the day of our wedding, a tornado touched down only a few miles away. Through power outages, traffic, crazy weather, and a little bit a chaos she was able to pull through and take some amazing pictures! It was a stressful morning to say the least. Stacy stayed behind while I got ready with the bridesmaids to help get me dressed. Stacy and Moe worked with us and the weather. They were able to take some amazing pictures of us and we couldn't have been happier with how they turned out!

Hands down the best choice we made for our wedding!!! I contacted Stacy to rent her studio to get ready in the day of my wedding and I fell in love with her work immediately! We ended up cancelling the photographer we had initially went with about 2 months before our wedding to book Stacy. She was extremely friendly and professional and she was there for us at any time throughout our wedding day. Her pictures are breathtaking!! You will not regret booking with her!

We spent a while searching for a photographer who we could connect with. Our wedding pictures were very important to us. We wanted someone who cared greatly not only about us, but about the quality of the pictures. My first phone call with Stacy was so informative. She is professional, knowledgeable, and I wish I had found her sooner as she immediately had suggestions to help in our planning. Stacy and Shawn took great interest in our timeline, the details, and making sure they focused on the things that were important to us. The day itself went great. Shawn, Jose and Eddie were fun, energetic, and very professional. We've already seen some of their work and everything looks amazing. We couldn't be happier with the decision to team up with Stacy Smith Studios and highly recommend them!

The first time my now husband and I met with Stacy, we knew she had to capture our special day. On the day of the wedding, Stacy and Shawn were a dream team. From the moment they arrived, they had us laughing and put us at ease. They were not afraid to crawl in bushes, climb on furniture or lay on the ground, all for the perfect shot. It is obvious in speaking with them that they are passionate about what they do. It has been two weeks since our wedding and we have just received our sneak peek. Amazing! The photos Stacy and Shawn took to capture our day have far exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to see the rest! Highly recommended!

I did a boudoir session with Stacy back in March, I was doing the shoot for my future husband (at the time). I was so nervous to even think about doing one, I knew if I was going to I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. When Stacy contacted me about doing one she was so helpful with all the questions I had. When I got to Stacy's studio it was amazing! it looked great! so many pictures displayed, her set up and backdrops look amazing! She has a beautiful room you can get ready in. The bedroom set!!! Is out of this world!! I packed a bag of all my outfits, shoes and accessories. We both went thru all the clothes I had and Stacy worked her magic of which outfits would go best in the studio. So here we go! It was time for me to get my first outfit on. I was so nervous I was basically shaking. I had a Bruins T-shirt on with my new last name on the back with only booty shorts on. I told Stacy I felt odd walking around with no pants on, Stacy told me this is a no pants area lol....Stacy is great! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. She always showed me how to pose and where to be before we started a new outfit. She even helped me with my lingerie when I couldn't get it to snap. Towards the end of my shoot It was my time to step out of the box and do the photos I was nervous about. At this point in the shoot I was ready. When I left Stacy's studio I felt amazing! I was so excited I did the shoot and also stepped out of my comfort zone. I left that shoot with no regrets. When I got my photos back I could not believe them!!! That's me!!!! They were all amazing. I picked my top photos I wanted and Stacy once again worked her magic and gave me a rough draft of what the photo book would look like. If you are going to do a shoot totally get the book!!!! On our wedding day I gave the book to my husband. He loved it!!! He also knows me and was shocked that I actually did it and stepped out of the box. I 100% recommend Stacy Smith. You will feel comfortable, beautiful, and relaxed. You will feel amazing about yourself by the time you are done. Take a chance and do IT!!!! you will NOT be disappointed by doing a shoot with Stacy! Thank you so much Stacy! I would do it all over again!

Working with Stacy Smith Studios was a no-brainer for my fiance and I. From the moment we met with Stacy for our first consultation, we knew she was the photographer for us. We were comfortable with her immediately, and were pleasantly surprised at the affordability of her offerings - you make your own package and aren't forced into any pre-made packages. She made recommendations based on our wants and needs and quickly got us a quote for our wedding, including a complimentary engagement session. Our engagement session was perfect and allowed us a chance to really get to know Stacy. We were lucky enough to have both Stacy and Shawn shoot our wedding. The photos are absolute magic! We received many more photos than our original estimate, and Stacy even worked to get us our sneak peek and all of our formal photos in time for the holidays, less than a month after our wedding! I can't say enough about Stacy and her team. They go way above and beyond the call of duty; Stacy even helped me put my veil in and out of my hair without a hitch. Everyone in our wedding party enjoyed working with Stacy and Shaun. Do yourself a favor and book Stacy as soon as possible!

5/5! Rockstars! We cannot say enough about Stacy Smith Studios! After our initial consultation with Stacy, we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. She is very organized and professional, but her personality shines through so naturally! We absolutely loved her past work, and wouldn't have trusted anyone else to do our photos. She was very knowledgable about our venue and that made us feel very comfortable knowing we would get the best photos possible. Her co-photographer Shawn was the perfect partner for her; they communicated very well and knew exactly what each other needed to capture the perfect shot. We took a shot in a wooded area and Shawn perfectly photoshopped a dinosaur in the background like we were hoping! These two people are so much fun to work with and made our wedding day so enjoyable! We're only bummed we don't have another wedding to work with them again!

We had an amazing experience with Stacy and her team. In the planning process, she was very helpful and gave us a list of things to accomplish related to what pictures we wanted and advice for posing. When we had our final pre-wedding call, it was over an hour and it made us feel relieved because she was so thorough and made sure to touch upon every possible detail. She is full of so many unique photo ideas that I would have never even thought of. She made sure to get every type of photo opportunity we requested and even enjoyed a fun picture game the DJ suggested which involved running around a room taking pictures. Stacy is also not afraid of getting down and dirty. Literally, she would get down on the ground or climb a tree to get a good shot. When we had limited time to get pictures done, she was quick and efficient, but not pushy in any way. We were able to get all of our photos done that we wanted and they came out great! We couldn't be any happier with our experience and definately recommend her as a photographer. Stacy is professional and friendly and will get the job done. You won't be disappointed.

Stacy just gets me, from the beginning she understood my concerns. She listened and didn't hesitate to make sure she snapped every pose we asked for.
Stacy photographed our proposal, our engagement and our wedding. Shawn was also photographing our wedding day with Stacy, he was incredible as well. They are both so easy going, and they are determined to get the perfect shot, even if that means shoes off and get in the ocean!
I highly recommend Stacy Smith Studios for ANY occasion. Next up will be the newborn pics!

Stacy Smith Studios was referred to us by the venue for our daughters wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Our daughter lives in upstate Maine and her visits before the wedding were few and far between but Stacy made sure that when Ashley was in Ct she was available. A few weeks before the big day we were guests at a friends wedding at the same venue. They hired a “friend “ to save money. They are regretting that decision. On the big day Stacy arrived on time. Right away we just felt so at ease. She knew from previous appointments that a lot of the wedding it’s we hand made and she made sure to get all of those details. We had pics taken before ceremony with the bridal party and I loved that they weren’t all the cookie cutter poses you always see. During ceremony you didn’t even know she was there but I am absolutely floored on how awesome the sneak peak pics are. I can’t emphasize enough how great it is to work with Stacy. She has an energy about her that is contagious and makes everyone feel so comfortable. Half way through the reception my husband who is a pretty reserved person tells me that with out a doubt we are having Stacy Smith Studios do our other two daughters weddings.

Stacy was unbelievable! She did our entire wedding by herself! She seemed to know when she was being looked for and would come out if no where! Otherwise she was part of the party, had fun with the rest of us, and blended in like you wouldn’t believe! She got shots when we didn’t even think she was nearby! The planned shots were great, but her candids are my favorites! She remembered every wishlist shot we had asked for and took some of them to a whole new level!!!

STACY IS AMAZING!!!!! From the first meeting with her, we knew right away that she was the perfect fit for us. We had so much fun with her, she is so easy to work with and makes you feel completely at ease (and this is coming from someone who hates getting her picture taken). My husband hates it even more and after the engagement pictures he was more comfortable and it is 1000% because of Stacy! Stacy and Mike were amazing for our wedding day. They kept everything moving and the day went so smooth, I highly recommend booking them for your big day! By far one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process!

Amazing photographer!! He and his assistant absolutely did there best to capture every moment of our day! He couldn't have said to me enough..."you don't ask me, you tell me" but let me just say I didn't have to tell him anything he did it better then I could have asked. I would recommend them to any bride and groom looking for that perfect photographer. We're so lucky to have found them.

I can't say enough good things about Shawn. My husband and I are not picture people, and one of the things I was worried about while planning my wedding was not being comfortable with a camera around me the entire day and then being very critical of my pictures. I expressed my concerns with Shawn during our first meeting and he told me that was part of his job as a photographer to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. Well he did just that and if you saw my engagement pictures you would be able to tell the first picture that Shawn took to the last one. In the first one, I felt the need to awkwardly “over pose” myself but as we worked with Shawn you could tell the progression of me getting more and more relaxed and comfortable.
Never in a million years would I think I would put a picture of myself on my return address labels or put them on our thank you cards never mind having a 18 x 24 portrait of myself hanging in our living room.
During our wedding, my husband told me he thought Shawn belonged at our wedding as a guest instead of working. He made the picture process easy and fun not too mention how excited he gets when he does his unbelievable sparkler picture! He put us in our position and told us to stay still then he was running around us with his sparklers singing, laughing, and saying “I feel like a ninja. I feel like a ninja.” It was almost impossible not to burst out laughing!
Thank you for everything, Shawn!

Shawn was an amazing wedding photographer!! He was always very responsive and gave great suggestions based on our wants/needs. On the day of the wedding he was a rock star! He helped to keep the day on track as well as taking amazing photos. He is very professional yet fun and laid back. All of our guests were super impressed! And the photos- amazing!!

There are so many choices to make on your wedding day, but your photographer does not have to be one of them. I stand by Stacey Smith Studios as an automatic choice to an absolutely amazing and beautiful wedding. She was an amazing professional who is smart, fun and exemplifies photographic beauty. This is the easiest decision for you on your big day. But it is not for just big days. She is amazing at all acts of photography. And this should be someone you choose without even a thought of hesitation. On my wedding day Stacy, Shawn, and Mike were amazing and people talked about them for weeks to come. We may just get married again someday just so we can rehire them. Thank you so much and I wish you all the success you deserve.

I had such a difficult time choosing a photographer for my wedding. I met multiple photographers in person and for some reason I just couldn't pull the trigger....then I met Stacy! She made my fiancée and I feel so at ease. She was professional, creative, energetic and so talented. Our wedding is next October but we recently had our engagement session and let me tell you....I was blown away! She was open minded to all of our suggestions and she had such a creative eye! We got our photos back right away and my fiancé and I could not be more impressed. Stacy is by far the best choice!!

I have known and collaborated with Stacy for a number of years on many projects. She is one of the hardest working people I know! She truly loves her clients and her craft, it shows in all her stunning work! Stacy goes above and beyond for her clients, often putting herself in awkward or even dangerous positions to capture that perfect shot. In her boudoir studio she will make even the shyest client feel amazing and fierce - she is just so friendly and personable! As I mentioned I have worked with Stacy on many projects in the past and it has always been a great experience, she truly listens to your ideas and vision. She is also incredibly timely with photo turnaround and sneak peaks. Of course, the images are simply beautiful and she is a genius behind the camera. Thank you so much Stacy for all of your hard-work and talent! It has been a such a pleasure working with you over the years and so much more collaborations to come in the future!

Stacy is a rockstar! She gets the job done. We had a few characters in our wedding party and she was professional and efficient with time management. We got the best possible pictures as the outcome. She kept the timeline moving and was so prompt! Her partner shawn was hysterical just like her and did an amazing job with organizing the men and getting incredible shots. These two busted their butts the whole night! It was like a photography workout plan. I'm so sad it's over but I know these two will be photographing our lives from years to come. From the bottom of our hearts we love you and couldn't thank you enough! Our pictures are perfection to say the least! They captured memories we will treasure for a lifetime. From start to finish there wasn’t one negative aspect. We love Stacy and Shawn and have now adopted them as forever family members.

Stacy Smith is an amazing, creative, and skilled photographer. I knew from the day I went for my consultation she would be the perfect photographer to capture my special day. Stacy is very detail oriented and knowledgeable. She helped to create the perfect wedding timeline and captured our special moments throughout our wedding journey. Thanks to her work, our Engagement photos were featured in the Engaged RI Monthly Magazine. Stacy goes above and beyond. She allowed me to use her beautiful studio to get ready the day of my wedding. My bridesmaids and I were so impressed by the space and quality of her studio. Stacy and her assistant Shawn capture so many amazing photos during the wedding! Her turnaround time is out of this world. She was able to edit and send us 163 preview shots in less than 2 weeks! I do not know what other photographer who could pull this off! My photos look straight out of a magazine! I feel like I not only gained a vendor, but also a friend. She is so personable and down to earth! I plan to use her future events! I highly recommend Stacy Smith Studios

Stacy and her team are amazing! The photos came out phenomenal and we got them back so quickly! Stacy was referred to me by a friend and I knew from the get-go we were in good hands. She takes her work very seriously and knows exactly what to do to capture the perfect moment. What I loved most is her ability to capture such great candid photos.
Before the wedding she has you make a list of all of the pictures you want taken. Then on the day of the wedding, she brings that list with her and makes sure its completed. This was honestly a huge help on the day of the wedding and kept things organized so that I didn't have to worry about it!
Some of our best pictures were taken on a dock on a lake. One of her assistant photographers literally carried Stacy in the water to get the perfect photo and came prepared with a change of clothes!
Stacy and her team go above and beyond and we couldn't be happier with them. Stacy and Shawn, thanks for helping make our day a blast and for capturing it all!! You guys ROCK.

Stacy is the BEST! She's extremely passionate about her work. She really goes the extra mile to get a great shot. She was out on the dance floor with us all night at our wedding, having a blast while capturing amazing moments. My wedding photos are perfect, and that's something I'll be able to look back on forever. You will not be disappointed if you book with Stacy!

These are my bridal portrait photos and they are absolutely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Stacy Lynn Smith for your photographer for any event whether it be a baby shower, smash cake, bridal shower, boudoir shoot, wedding, birthday party, anniversary, or any significant event you want captured she is your go to woman. Her and her team will do ANYTHING to get the perfect shot for you (laying on the ground, standing high up on ladders, going into a blizzard freezing her bum off, standing on her head etc lol). Stacy is one of a kind and you will never be dissapointed with her art work. Please find her online at Stacy Smith Studios, find her on Facebook, or message me for her number. You will be highly satisfied and will never use any one else again. That is a promise and guarantee!!!!

Stacy did a wonderful job. From the start we felt very comfortable with her; she was very cheerful and bubbly, which put me right at ease. She was incredibly quick to respond to any questions I e-mailed, and we went over everything thoroughly so there wouldn't be any issues. We ended up having rain on our wedding day, and had to change a lot of the pictures we originally wanted, but you can't tell that from the pictures we got! Stacy was great at being flexible and changing things at the last minute to fit with the changed events, without sacrificing quality. We also got the photo booth option, which everyone loved. Finally, her assistant was even nice enough to let me borrow her boots because I was wearing sandals! It was worth every penny for this kind of service.

5 stars are definitely not enough. If I could give Stacy Smith Studios 11 stars, I would. She and her team were there every step of the way and they went above and beyond what we ever could have imagined. She went as far as wearing my father's muck boots, out in the salty marshes, just to capture a once in a lifetime photo that I plan to hang in our home. If you're looking for a photographer who is willing to try anything and everything to capture the most important day of your life, then look no further than Stacy Smith Studios!!

We really can't put into words the experience we had with Stacy and her team! We got married on the beach in Warwick RI on what was supposed to be a gorgeous summer day...as the wind and rain pounded the pavillion above us there was Stacy, our bright little ray of sunshine. She didn't let the weather stop her mission. I call it her mission simply for the fact that through rain, wind, sand blasts and grey skies...there was nothing that was going to stop her from getting the perfect shots to ensure sure that we would remember this day forever! She was absolutely amazing! Her contagious smile and positivity is just what we needed that day! We will definitely be using Stacy Smith Studios again for all our photography needs! Thanks Stacy!

From the moment I met with Stacy, I knew that she was going to be the photographer for my wedding. We instantly clicked. Stacy and I met for a 90 minute consultation where she catered to my every wedding need. She is super flexible when designing your wedding package. She takes your budget into account and helps you put together an a la carte package that fits your needs. My fiancé and I had a total blast with Stacy during our engagement photo session. Her fun and easy going personality makes you feel at ease and she goes above and beyond to get the best shots. She even let me sit on her jacket so that I wouldn't get my pants dirty from sitting on a mossy rock. She's attentive and responds to emails in a timely manner. Not to mention she has some kick butt ideas. She's pretty much everything a bride is looking for in a photographer. I can't wait to see how our wedding photos turn out next Friday. I know Stacy will do an amazing job! Future brides, you definitely want to book an appointment with Stacy if you haven't done so already.

From our first meeting with Stacy, we were hooked! She made us feel like we were her only wedding. Stacy is willing to capture any moment she can. She is full of ideas and has an amazing eye for that perfect picture. When we did our engagement shoot we walked past a beautiful birch tree sticking out over the water. Jokingly, we mentioned how awesome it would be if we climbed out there for some pictures. Stacy stopped in her tracks and said "You guys would actually climb out there?' So we did and the pictures came out phenomenal!! On our wedding day our venue was on the ocean. After the ceremony we started taking pictures. There was a sand bar about 100 yards out. I hiked up my dress and my husband rolled his pants up to his knees and Stacy and Mike trekked out into the ocean to give us an unforgettable moment out on the sandbar! Stacy went beyond above and beyond! With a smile on her face at all times, Stacy had an answer to all of our questions. We recommend Stacy Smith Studios to everyone we talk to. Her pictures and attitude speak for itself.
