Steph was one of the best choices I made in my wedding planning! I had no idea how impactful these photos would be on my life but I lost my mom 3 months after the wedding. These ph...
otos captured my mom's spirit in a way I didn't think was possible and will be one of my most treasured possessions for the rest of my life. Not only that but Steph was just a joy to work with, she set my husband and my mind at ease and managed to make our incredibly awkward group of people look stunning! She captured every emotion in the day without making photos look staged or effortful. I cannot recommend her enough, if you are looking to plan your big day in the near future pick Steph!
Steph is the best. Seriously. If you are reading this, hire her.
Steph is friendly and professional, and she's there every step of the way! She will have you feeling reenergized a...
nd optimistic even during the most stressful of times (if you've ever planned a wedding during a pandemic, holla). My husband and I got married in June 2020, at the height of all the pandemic uncertainty. We had initially planned a big wedding at a venue with a DJ/caterer/the whole nine yards, and wound up doing a tiny wedding in a back yard. She was flexible with all the changes, and so compassionate and respectful of our wishes as we navigated what we felt would/wouldn't be safe. She even helped us come up with some alternate options for how we could safely capture the photos we wanted.
Steph's passion is evident in the way she works, and it's clear how much she cares about her clients. The photos she captures will preserve your most cherished memories in all their glory. Steph is just all around AMAZING to work with.
Steph was an amazing photographer for our wedding. We had to make a lot of changes to our plans because of COVID, and she was so helpful throughout the process. She is down to eart...
h and so easy to work with. We LOVED how our photos turned out, and would definitely recommend her.
We loved having Steph as our photographer! She was so easy to work with and made sure we got every look we wanted. We had a surprise elopement and had more people asking about our...
pictures than our actual marriage. We cannot recommend her enough!
Steph was AWESOME. We had a COVID wedding and Steph was so calm and accomodating, keeping her mask on the whole time. My fiance and I are NOT naturals in front of the camera, but s...
he kept us laughing and relaxed the whole time. Her work is beautiful, I loved how she keeps everything light and snags wonderful candidate shots when you don't even realize she's around. Plus her editing is stunning. She's the best.
Steph captured our day beautifully! She was such a calm presence to have around during the day but was still able to wrangle our large (18 people) wedding party for pictures, keep ...
track of family members, and all the while got amazing photos. She was so easy to work with and communicate leading up to the day as well, it helped minimize any stress we could have had related to planning our day. I have recommended her to so many of our friends and they have been just as thrilled with her work.
Without question, Steph is your go-to-photographer for your wedding and if she isn't yet, she should be! When you hit the 5 star button and the knot calls it "the best ever" thats ...
true about Steph. Steph went above and beyond in all areas for us. She is extremely skilled at what she does and just the nicest human! Do yourself a favor and hire her, you will not regret it.
Steph is the absolute best to work with! We hired her to take photos for our wedding and could not be happier with our experience and end result photographs. Her package comes with...
an engagement photo session, which she made fun and easy. She has an ease and effortlessness about her that I really appreciated on our wedding day. She really knows how to capture the best moments! We get so many compliments on our photos and I will cherish them forever.
We are so glad we chose Steph as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was truly amazing. From our first phone call to go over wedding packages, I knew Steph would be a perf...
ect fit as our photographer. She was very friendly, funny and laid back. She asked lots of questions to get to know my husband and I, and to get a feeling of what we were looking for in our wedding photos. We first met Steph in person for our engagement photo session. My husband and I had never done photos together—and we’re not really the lovey dovey type—so I was concerned our photos would be awkward. But, Steph made us feel comfortable instantly. We had a blast during the photoshoot and were very pleased with how the photos turned out. Steph kept in good contact with us leading up to the wedding and made it easy to coordinate details. She helped us with our wedding day timeline and had lots of suggestions for what types of photos would be good to capture. On the wedding day, Steph was once again amazing. She took initiative to get the photos we needed—whether that meant corralling family members for our formal portraits or riding in the back of a golf cart all over the course to capture our first photos as husband and wife. Steph truly exceeded all our expectations. She is kind, friendly, organized, knowledgeable, professional and talented. Our photos turned out amazing and we are beyond thankful that she was there to capture our big day.
I can’t even begin to say enough good things about Steph! She was an absolute joy to work with on the day of the wedding (and all of our correspondences prior!) She is so down-to-e...
arth, kind and most importantly – an amazing, gifted photographer! Steph perfectly captured all of our beautiful moments and delivered the most stunning, authentic photos. We relive each and every moment every time we look at our pictures. Throughout the wedding planning process, I was unsure if I picked the right venue, if my vision would come out exactly as I wanted, etc. The one thing I had no question about was Steph. She made me feel at ease the entire process and I fell more and more in love with her work with each passing photo. She is truly the best! You will not be disappointed!
Key points to know before hiring Stephanie:
-You will want to be friends with her

-She will make you feel like a model
-Her calming aura will help you not throw up before your ceremony

-You’ll fall in love with the pictures she takes and want her to follow you around and document your life
10/10 would hire again!
Steph is truly an amazing artist we are so happy we chose her to photograph our wedding. The photography was very important to me and I was very picky with what I wanted. I looked ...
through what felt like hundreds of potential photographers until I found Steph. Her style is laid back which was perfect for us. She made sure to capture all our moments without having us stop and “pose” which made our pictures so genuine and real. We are not a couple who takes a lot of pictures but Steph made us feel so comfortable and our pictures reflected that. Steph was also super organized and responsive to all my questions; overall she was jut wonderful to work with! I cannot emphasize how happy we are that she was our photographer!
Best photographer around, I will recommend her to all of my friends! Steph is so laid back, fun and creative! I was in tears when we received a few sneak peek pictures right after...
the wedding, I couldn’t wait to see the rest of the pictures she snapped of our perfect day! Nick and I got married at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and we wanted a photographer that enjoys working outdoors and uses the beauty of nature in the pictures. After looking at Steph’s blog, I knew I wanted her to be there! Nick and I did not think about where we wanted pictures taken after the ceremony but Steph was ready with great ideas and knew just where to go! Thank you, Steph, for capturing every moment of our day! It is impossible to pick a single favorite, we love them all!
Where to begin? Steph takes photography beyond the ordinary and infuses every session with genuine friendship. When choosing our photographer for our wedding day (and engagement ph...
otos), I knew without question that Steph would be the perfect fit. Her photos are a mix of romantic, moody, earthy perfection and she had such a unique way of capturing the essence of our relationship in every photo. I love having something so special to look back on to remember the small moments of our wedding day. I will continue to hire Steph for every photography need I have, even though we live states apart! You truly cannot go wrong by hiring Steph – she will become one of your very best friends while you’re at it.
Steph did an awesome job capturing our day! The photos turned out beautiful and she braved thunderstorms and downpours to get to and shoot our wedding. We have gotten so many com...
pliments on our photos and are very happy with the results. The only feedback we would give is that it would have been nice if Steph and her second shooter had been a bit more coordinated and organized. They photographed together pretty much the entire day instead of splitting up so that one could photograph the girls and the other the boys. I also had trouble making sure we got all the family photos because the list wasn't printed and it was very difficult to read off a phone. Besides that, Steph was amazing and we really do love our photos!
Steph was amazing! There was a lot of uncertainty with our wedding due to the crazy weather of that week- the town didnt have power for 3 days leading up to the wedding, it would s...
torm horrendously for hours then the sun would come out- it was a very strange week. The day of the wedding, Steph arrived on schedule, and right away you could tell she was a great person- she rolled with the punches with a great attitude, joined in on the joking with our ridiculous friends and family, and got the candid shots that we were really wanting. It absolutely poured during the 5 minute ceremony on the beach- sideways rain poured- and she was out there, laughing and taking photos with everyone else! The sun came out as soon as we walked back to the parking lot, so we went back out to the beach and got so many great shots, while still drying out. It was overall a great experience, and she even sent about 10 sneak peeks the very next day- they are AMAZING. Cannot stress enough how awesome those few photos turned out- she captured such great candids and they turned out beautifully. We are 100% glad we went with her for our photographer! I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos! Thank you so much, Steph!
I just want to write this thing in all caps...Steph is the cat’s meow!
She was so so so great for our planned elopement! She not only stood as one of our witnesses, but followed ...
my partner and I around and just captured US. I’ve only got the sneak peak right now and can not wait until I get the full set of photos. She’s seriously amazing if you’re looking for an adventure/elopement wedding. We are so happy she helped us keep our day intimate and simple.
Steph did engagement photos, wedding photos and a bridal session for us this past year and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! The photos we received from our w...
edding are so beautiful and she did such a fantastic job of capturing every moment perfectly. We can't stop looking through them! Plus she is just super sweet and fun to work!
