We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Stefy Hilmer for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. From the very beginning, Stefy was energetic, professional, ...
and creative, which made the entire process feel relaxed and fun.
She helped us build the wedding day timeline, made thoughtful suggestions, and was truly on the ball all day. Despite us having a family that lacks focus, she somehow kept every photo on our shot list organized and coordinated, all while keeping things moving smoothly and maintaining a great, upbeat energy.
In many ways, Stefy helped keep our entire day running on track. She struck the perfect balance between being efficient and making the experience enjoyable, never making anything feel rushed or stressful.
What really set Stefy apart was that she felt like so much more than just a photographer. She consistently asked where else she could help and even made recommendations that helped us find both our DJ and videographer—one of them very last minute. That level of support made a huge difference and showed how invested she was in our day as a whole.
We felt comfortable, relaxed, and confident with Stefy behind the camera, and we are so grateful for her talent, professionalism, and positive presence. Stefy was so great to work with, we can't recommend her enough!
If you are looking for an incredible wedding photographer, save yourself the trouble of a long search and just hire Stefy now. You will not regret it. Stefy and her team are the go...
ld standard. From start to finish, Stefy took the stress out of our wedding photo planning. We were a bit nervous about being the center of attention for our engagement and wedding photos, but Stefy made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She was incredibly responsive when scheduling photo shoots and genuinely listened when we discussed our preferences. Her friendly yet confident professionalism really shone on our wedding day, as she and her fellow photographer Kate smoothly coordinated with many groups of friends and family to get truly amazing photos. The end result was nothing short of spectacular - Stefy crafts a story with her photography and she knows her craft VERY well. One of our top priorities for our wedding was our photography and we felt so lucky to have Stefy as our photographer, as her portfolio was outstanding. Seriously, her albums are world-class excellent. If you are looking for an attentive, detail-oriented professional with an exceptional eye for getting the perfect shot, Stefy is truly the best! We cannot thank her enough for how she helped make our wedding day so special.
We love Stefy! We hired her over the summer to shoot our engagement photos, and we had such a great experience with her that we booked her for our wedding ~6 months later. Stefy i...
s so kind and professional, and FUN! She is down to earth and friendly and patient. She’s also extremely talented and has a vision for each and every photo. We love her creativity and her presence. It’s so important to find someone you trust and vibe with, and we feel fortunate to have found Stefy. She was by our side throughout our wedding day, helping to ensure that it was the wedding of our dreams and making sure to capture the moments we want to remember forever. She blew our expectations out of the water. Stefy adapted to every twist and turn on our wedding day, dealt graciously with a few difficult personalities, and most importantly, captured the love between me and my now-husband. She doesn’t just take photos – she freezes beautiful moments in time, whether candid or not. We DEFINITELY recommend her and will continue to hire her as we need photographers in the future.
My husband and I were very fortunate to meet Stefy at the Newport Bridal Expo while planning our summer wedding at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth. After viewing Stefy’s incredible ...
work and speaking with her at the show, we knew right away that she was the photographer for us! We were planning a same year wedding, and by a twist of fate, Stefy was able to squeeze us into her busy wedding season schedule.
Our luck continued because Stefy proved to be an amazing professional to work with. We met several times to align on vision and expectations for the day of. We appreciated the multiple package options, which included a custom design album. We loved getting to know Stefy in the months leading up to our wedding.
We began our wedding weekend with a rehearsal brunch, where Stefy captured so many happy moments among family and friends. On the day of, Stefy and her team worked incredibly hard (in hot weather!) throughout the entire day, from getting ready through late night dancing. I cannot tell you how many people commented on how awesome and hard working Stefy was, yet so stealth in moving around the event. Stefy’s coordination and wonderful personality helped make the day go smoothly. She is amazing with guests, wedding party members, kids, and pets!
We absolutely loved the gallery that Stefy created. The photos are truly amazing and represent us and our special weekend. Stefy worked with us closely in designing our album over several consultations until it was perfect.
There is a reason Stefy is an award winning photographer. You will not regret working with Stefy to capture the best moments of your life.
Stefy is truly incredible! Beyond talented in her craft. Captured our Wedding on the Aquidneck Sailboat with grace and ease. Thought of everything from wind to lighting, all while ...
suspending herself from ropes and laying on the floor of the boat, to get the best angles. She even captured great shots of our tiny bow wow bearers...a difficult task on a moving sailboat. She's an incredibly gifted artist and we couldn't have been more grateful to have her apart of our day. Very professional in communicating throughout the entire process, in an extremely prompt manor. We could not believe how quickly she completed our photos. We had a preview by 9am the morning after our wedding and the entire gallery was complete shortly after. Do yourself a favor and hire Stefy! It will be the best decision you make...know if was for us :)
If I could give 6 stars for Stefy I would. My wife and I first heard the name "Stefy" while searching for the perfect wedding venue in upstate NY. We just happened to look through ...
the venue's wedding book filled with pictures of various photographers. Every single picture my wife and I liked the most were ones she photographed. We knew we had to have her for our wedding. We contacted her as quickly as we could to ensure she wasn't booked. We then started the process to book the NY venue and shortly thereafter had a change of heart with it. We then went full steam ahead to another local NY place with plans to marry there, but something didn't feel right with it. In the end, we found a wonderful place near our home in PA where Stefy didn't hesitate to travel to. She literally captured some of the best "Dam!" wedding pictures you'll see. I say all of this because no matter how many locations (and states) we thought about getting married, no matter the fact our wedding venue changed the night before due to unforeseen weather safety concerns, Stefy was with us the entire step of the way. We could not have asked for not only the best photographer, but a person who became part of the family. Along with Jeff Tisman who assisted her but by no means is an assistant, he, like Stefy, is an artist. This winning photography team made us feel even more important than the Royal Wedding who was married on the same day (5.19.18). We can't thank Stefy enough for being her, for being a personable person, for being a creative soul, and for making us feel special. We cannot wait to see the finished wedding photos because the teaser photos were awesome!

Stefy is simply amazing.
I proposed to my fiance at our favorite restaurant in Newport, RI and wanted to be sure to properly capture the moment. After reviewing a number of local...
options online I created a shortlist and called each to check availability and make sure our styles and visions were in line with one another. After speaking with Stefy it was easy to make my decision.
Stefy's talent and vision made the engagement unforgettable. She arrived early on site (which was immensely appreciated), framed each shot ahead of time to make sure the reaction was caught properly, and even went as far as to coordinate the room and the staff in the restaurant to be sure everything was perfect. After I proposed she walked with us through Newport and lent us her creative eye to help us further commemorate our engagement.
If I could give Stefy higher reviews I would. I own a wedding venue near Philadelphia and have seen many photographers over time; Stefy's dedication to excellence and raw talent make her one of the best I've worked with. She's positive, upbeat, and extremely easy to work with. Five stars all the way.
