Stefanie Haviv Photography

playful, candid and gorgeous. It was exactly the type of look we were going for when we began our search for a photographer. From the very first meeting, Stefanie took our vague thoughts about what we wanted and made them into fresh, interesting, unique and beautiful photos that felt every bit “us”. When we told her that we had an idea for our engagement shoot to eat pizza on the couch, she transformed this idea into a gorgeous shoot on her parent’s farm, with us in our PJ’s on a couch in the middle of a beautiful field eating pizza while wrapped in a blanket. (Oh, and there happened to be baby goats so we took some photos with them, too :)) This, along with a more traditional engagement session took all day and Stefanie took so much time with us, grabbing frame after frame of beautiful and unique perspectives. She was super responsive, and her work came back to us quickly, as well, perfectly edited and was happy to have us share them with those we love. Stefanie was an absolute joy to have as our photographer, making sure every photo we requested for our wedding day was taken and plenty of shots of not only us, but our friends and family, as well, which was a joy to see. Along with the more traditional shots, she is not afraid to take risks with her photos which is where some of the more artistic and playful shots come from- my husband and I are huge fans of these! Stefanie is a true professional- courteous, compassionate, incredibly relatable and a real talent. I consider it an honor that my husband and I were able to have her capture these moments with us and I look forward to having her capture many more. As a bride, my top four priorities for my vendors were Price, Quality of Service, Responsiveness, and Consistency with our Vision: Price: 5*, Quality of Service: 5*, Responsiveness: 5*, Vision: 5*, Overall: 5*

, these were the things that matter most to me; creativity, able to give direction, organized, and consistent quality photos. Stefanie surpassed all of these things! Not only is she a wonderful photographer, she is just a fun person and it's hard not to click with her immediately! Stefanie is able to find beauty in the most unexpected places, which translates into unique, yet stunningly, gorgeous photos. On our wedding day it felt like a close friend taking our photos and she put us at ease! She was also extremely organized and kept us on schedule. I had ZERO worries on my wedding day because she just knows what she's doing and she's wonderful at it. She captured key moments with such sensitivity. She is also great at making you and your guests relax so you don't get that "posed prom look" or "deer in the headlight" pictures. My wedding party and guests absolutely loved her! Don't worry about not being photogenic, she will make you laugh and smile naturally! We were beyond thrilled with our photos. She was able to capture perfect pictures and created AMAZING photos out of the most simple things. She really sees things differently and has a stellar eye for the best picture. I got married in the mountains on a lake and in some pictures it looked like I got married in the tropics. Those pictures were so amazing! It was so cool to see what her unique eye can find and what she can do with lighting and shadows. Understand that on your wedding day you are spending the entire day with your photographer, make sure you have someone as wonderful as Stefanie. We felt so blessed and grateful to work with her, and I currently recommend her to everyone!

is very professional with the whole planning process and gets your pictures edited and back to you quickly. We really loved working wit Stefanie.

th. I know I will not be disappointed by my wedding photos. Hire this woman for everything!

She takes the time to get to know you and is really invested in making sure to get the perfect shot/lighting/ candid moment. Would definitely recommend Stefanie for Charlotte area Brides!

- both of which turned out stunningly. She captured everything on our shot list and then some. I was concerned with our timeline as we weren't doing a "first look" and we have a pleathora of romantic photos to choose from taken swiftly between the service and the ceremony. When my husband and I got our photos back we couldn't believe she had managed to be in so many places at once. Nearly as important - she is a joy to be around. Many photographers can be pushy or cheesy and she couldn't be further from either adjective. You'll look forward to having her around - and many times you may not even notice she is around! So many guests commented afterwards that she helped them take a personal picture (and then she took one for us too!). You'll get much more than what you pay for with Stefanie. Best of luck with your own wedding planning!
