It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the...
intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet -- when the moment comes for that great snapshot -- she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist -- and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.
Our experience with Stephanie was so great. Not only were the pictures exactly as we pictured - even more importantly for us it was such a low stress situation whenever we worked ...
with Stephanie, which wasn't the case for many of the other aspects in planning this day. Thank you Stephanie!
Stephine was absolutely AMAZING! She was recommend by a close friend and we couldn't have made a better choice. During our consultation she was so reassuring and did not mind my ma...
ny questions (an trust me there were a lot). Being a nervous bride to make sure everything is perfect you get caught up in the details and miss the big picture. Stephine was very patient with us and was always available. Our day was so full of love it was overwhelming after the wedding to remember everything. With her artistic eye and ninja like movement she caught it ALL. From natural blending moments of our families to the personality of both my husband and I together. 4 years later we look at pictures or scroll through our wedding book and every magical moment comes flowing back. We were truly luckily to get a photographer who just got it. Thank you Stephine, you are truly talented.
The greatest advice I got when planning my wedding was to hire the best photographer I could, then worry about everything else. Stephanie Anestis is the best of the best! I cannot ...
overstate how happy I am that she captured our wedding day.
When I was looking for a photographer, her professional online portfolio and Instagram account immediately spoke to me. She artfully captures emotions, action and mood in her photos. After seeing her portfolio, I knew she was the right person to capture our wedding.
When we reached out, Stephanie was quick to reply, clearly explained her process and contract (all very straight-forward), and was just a joy to work with. As we planned the wedding, Stephanie always made herself available to us. We had an outdoor wedding and Stephanie came up with some fantastic photography ideas to ensure we took full advantage of the beautiful garden scenery. She also came up with a fun idea for our send-off photos. Stephanie researched the location of our wedding and really just cam prepared for anything and everything.
After our wedding she created a beautiful album for us and has been so thoughtful and helpful as we select photos to print and frame. Honestly, look no further for a wonderful wedding photographer - Stephanie Anestis is as talented and lovely as they come.
Stephanie Anestis was amazing to work with for our wedding. We chose her after having had numerous photo sessions with her capturing important moments in our lives. When my husband...
and I were thinking of whom we wanted for our wedding photographer, we instantly thought of Stephanie. Out of so many photographers why Stephanie you ask? Its simple. She has a gift. The way she captures moments, the way she is present yet invisible, the way she makes you feel calm. I remember the next day flying to our honeymoon and then receiving sneak peeks of our wedding pictures. It was so significant having had a glimpse of the masterpiece she had taken. It made our honeymoon even more special because we were able to process our wedding with the photos she had captured. Perhaps one day we will celebrate a wedding milestone and can be fortunate enough to have Stephanie there with us again. You will love her.
