Stephanie made everyone comfortable with having their pictures taken, and made it fun. The pictures we got were beautifully done. However, while my husband got plenty of pictures of his family during the ceremony, I had none of my family. Stephanie said that she couldn't get a good angle of my family, but many of the pictures of my husband's family were taken from the side my family was on. But again, the pictures we did get were beautiful and Stephanie was delightful.
Stephanie is fantastic to work with and managed to make us (and our puppies!) feel at ease despite how incredibly awkward we are. Having had our engagement session with her, I was totally relaxed during the wedding day knowing the pictures would turn out great. After getting our photos back, I went through and carefully selected my favorites. There were nearly 600. The only downfall is that I can't reasonably print and hang that many in our home. We've gotten so many compliments on our pictures - I can't recommend her enough!
Too many good things to say about Stephanie. She is everything you’re looking for in a photographer and so much more!! We absolutely love how our engagement photos turned out and can’t wait to have her with us on our wedding day! She’s so kind and made us feel very comfortable from our first meeting! She knew exactly how to make it fun for us!
I am so glad we had Stephanie as our photographer - In addition to being an incredible photographer she is a genuinely fun and kind person to have around. She was very helpful in the prep process and was very patient with all of my questions. Her process works!!! I recommend Stephanie Bannon - She went above and beyond for us and I am sure she will for you too!
Hiring Stephanie (and Micah) as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. I was immediately taken with Stephanie's talent for photography. The flawless way she transforms intimate moments into beautiful lasting images is unparalleled. BUT Stephanie was more than just our photographer. She went above and beyond what I ever could have asked from her. She always had on hand the small things that were needed, whether it be umbrellas, hand warmers, or much needed advice on how to bustle a dress! She was the driver of the day keeping our families and wedding party on time and happy for photos, even a very tired and grumpy ring bearer was laughing and smiling for pictures! She worked with me to make a timeline and for the day including places we would stop for pictures. However it rained ALL day, but before I even had time to panic or think about alternatives Stephanie already had a list of places we would go instead and I knew I could trust her judgement fully. If you are looking for a photographer that is all that and more, Stephanie is your girl!
Seriously THE BEST photographer we could've ever asked for!! From the beginning to the end, she was such a pleasure and easy to work with! Always answered promptly to our emails and even helped map out our wedding 'day of' timeline! The photos turned out better than we could've ever imagined! Classic, timeless, and perfect! During the ceremony and reception she was able to capture every moment without even noticing she was there, yet knew how to take control and run the show for the bridal party photos in between. Choosing Stephanie as our photographer was the best decision we could've made! A ++! 10/10!
Stephanie checked all the boxes of giving us great photos for our wedding day. Additionally she was excellent at keeping our group on schedule and ensuring our wedding party was in great photos as well as able to enjoy the party bus while we took more photos. Stephanie made it so that we did not have to worry about the time, or really anything throughout the day. She even helped us select beautiful locations for the photos.
AMAZING! Stephanie Bannon is the best photographer we've ever had. The whole process in selecting a photographer was very nerve wrecking for us since we wanted our day to be perfect and everything captured. However, from the moment we met Stephanie we knew that she was the one! She had such a welcoming personality, sense of warmth and care that radiated from her when we first met. Instantly, the three of us clicked! We were laughing, sharing stories about ourselves, and it seemed like we were good friends. We loved her personality. We instantly had a feeling of trust with her. We canceled the other photographers we had lined up.
Then we did the first photo shoot. That first photoshoot was incredible for our engagement photos. At first we were nervous. We weren't sure about a lot of things - like where to take the photos, clothes, poses, etc. But Stephanie came to our rescue. She gave us a bunch of different options of places to go with past photos at the locations which was awesome so we could see the scenery and get a sense of her style. Needless to say, it went very well. At first my wife was nervous when we were taking the photos, but Stephanie gave us silly directions for us to loosen up and really capture our love for one another. The photos turned out better than we expected.
Stephanie was always there for us, answering all of our questions along the way. She met with us several times and even helped us put together our timeline for our wedding day. It worked great because we could see how our day was going to go and when everyone needed to be ready. Stephanie definitely went above and beyond.
On our wedding day, we got so many great photos. Stephanie was constantly gathering people and directing everyone perfectly. You definitely want a photographer that can give directions, keen eye to detail (like if someone's hair is out of place or needed to have a little grease wiped off), and a person to take charge to make sure the day is attending to the schedule, like Stephanie. I heard so many stories about couples not getting all the photos they wanted because they ran out of time or people were missing. But Stephanie never let that happen! We were like a well-oiled machine.
We are so thankful that we chose Stephanie to be our photographer. She never let us down along the way. She was by far the best investment for our wedding day!
Amazing! I can’t thank Stephanie enough for making our big day feel so perfect. We loved how comfortable she made us throughout the whole day. It was a long day! But she made it easy and fun! I can’t wait to see all of our photos, I know they will be perfection! We highly recommend Stephanie for the special day!
Stephanie was great for our wedding and engagement pictures! She truly is the best of the best! She was very down to earth and down for whatever we wanted! We love all of our pictures and our photo book. Stephanie went above and beyond when our engagement session flashdrive died and went ahead and added them to our wedding flashdrive free of charge! We can’t recommend Stephanie enough!
I had Stephanie do my engagement and wedding photos and they both turned out amazing. She helped pose the group and kept rowdy boys in line. She is very professional but hows how to have fun with the group. But in all seriousness, she did take the best pictures that I have ever taken and I will treasure them for a lifetime. Stephanie is someone that I will use again in the future and will suggest for others looking for a photographer.
BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER EVERRRRR!!! Stephanie words cannot express how amazing our pictures are. You are very direct and to the point, not fake or overly bubbly like some photographers are. We loved your personality. We absolutely love all of our pictures! There were SOOO MANY!! Our house is going to be full of pictures because I am not going to be able to decide between all of them! We look forward to having you take all of our future family photos. Thanks again!!! :)
Stephanie did an amazing job photographing our engagement photos & our wedding! She made my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera - which is not easy! He actually enjoyed the time spent with Stephanie! She does amazing work is & is so easy to work with! We can't thank you enough for capturing our day as beautifully as you did!

Stephanie was an amazing photographer! I found her using the knot and was so happy with my decision. She meet with us multiple times and understood what we wanted. She made sure we stayed in track through the day and gave us beautiful pictures. We are so happy we chose her and we will have the amazing pictures to remember our day forever!
Words cannot describe how happy we were with our wedding pictures! Stephanie and her assistant did such a fabulous job during all stages of our wedding planning and wedding day. We loved getting to know Stephanie during our engagement session and meeting up for coffee prior our big day to go through the timeline (which really helped by stress levels!). The engagement pictures were beautiful, and Stephanie had great location ideas. The wedding day was better than we could have ever imagined, and I'm so glad we have such amazing pictures to commemorate it! Stephanie was so cool, calm, and collected, and made us so special and comfortable the entire day. She seemed to always have things completely under control! She also did a fabulous job working with our rowdy wedding party to get everyone into good positions (I hate when photographers don't tell you what to do!). Most importantly, the photos were GORGEOUS. We are so happy with our choice, and we are seriously OBSESSED with our pictures. 1000% recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie Bannon Photography was wonderful. She is so knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to ironing out the details for the big day. She is super relaxed, yet not afraid to tell people where they need to be for photos. She is amazing! We loved her & her assistant! Highly recommend her!
We cannot say enough great things about Stephanie. She took a nervous couple and made us feel so comfortable! She also worked fantastic under our time crunch schedule. We loved that she offered engagement shots included in her wedding packages, along with a second shooter for the wedding day. Not only was she wonderful to work with as a photographer, she also went above and beyond. She helped bustle my dress when no one else could figure out how!!! Incredibly kind, fun to work with, and takes beautiful photos. We will definitely be working with her again in the future.
To say we love Stephanie Bannon Photography is an understatement! We chose Stephanie as our wedding photographer and couldn’t be happier! During the entire planning process Stephanie was more than helpful and accessible. We are blown away wh how well our wedding pictures turned out. All of our family and bridal party still talks about how much they loved our photographer and her assistant! I will always recommend Stephanie Bannon Photography
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful. We met for coffee before our engagement session (which was included) and she was able so show us a ton of pictures that she has taken. The day of the wedding was so smooth. If there were problems, I didn't know of any of them. She had a second photographer so we got a TON of pictures. We love her work and plan on using her business for family pictures in the future.
Stephanie was the best photographer! She not only took amazing pictures for both our engagement shoot and wedding, but she also made sure that we were calm and comfortable the whole time. She has a very efficient yet friendly work ethic so that we got all the shots we needed but we also had fun while we did it! So happy we chose her for our day. We highly recommend Stephanie Bannon Photography!
Stephanie did such a wonderful job photographing our wedding day! We were married on the hottest weekend this past summer and she really rose to the occasion and got awesome and creative shots inside our venue. She did such a great job capturing how happy we were and what fun our reception was. I was totally recommend SBP to anyone! We are so pleased with our pictures!!
Stephanie Bannon photography was the best decision I could've made for my wedding day. Stephanie was amazing to work with and really was open to what I wanted to see but also had some great ideas for photos. She really made me feel at ease on my wedding day and I couldn't of asked for a better photographer to work with. I will definitely utilize Stephanie again for future photos. I recommend to anyone looking for an easy to work with photographer!!!
WE LOVE HER. We have so many good things to say about Stephanie (and her sister/assistant Jennifer) that I don’t even know where to begin! We are so grateful that we hired Stephanie to do our wedding photos (and engagement included) and are so lucky that we found her for our day before anyone else did! Stephanie caught all of the small moments of our wedding in beautiful photos, without ever being in our way. She put me at complete ease knowing I could trust her to capture everything I wanted and even things I wouldn’t have known I would have wanted! She understood us completely despite only meeting us a few times. Stephanie is so personable and fun that we felt like she was a guest attending the ceremony who happened to always have her camera. She was helpful in every way, far beyond taking photos, she knew much more about details and logistics of weddings than I did and did whatever she could to make our day amazing. She helped us cruise through LARGE family photos and stay on track between the ceremony and reception, the tightest time in our day of events! Stephanie had no issues handling our spirited groomsmen either which was a relief to me. All of our photos are gorgeous, Stephanie is extremely talented and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering booking her.
Stephanie was an amazing photographer, and we loved working with her for our engagement and wedding photos. The photos turned out lovely. She was also great to have around on the day of the wedding. She came prepared with umbrellas for the imminent rain and scouted out the perfect spots for photos near the venue. I would highly recommend Stephanie Bannon!
Hands down best photographer!! Stephanie did our engagement photos which turned out great but what blew us away are the unbelievable wedding pictures she took!! She turned our thunderstorm, flooded,rainy wedding into the most amazing day we will never forget! She came through with last minute venues for indoor pictures due to rain and kept us dry with umbrellas! We highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future!
We had Stephanie take our engagement and wedding photos. She was fantastic. Not only did the photos turn out really well, but both my wife and I really enjoyed her as a person. We're fairly shy and not too crazy about getting our picture taken, so we were nervous about spending hours doing just that. Stephanie put us at ease within 5 minutes. She's very chill and easy going (while still being professional), and oh hey, she's great with dogs! We never thought we'd actually enjoy spending so much time with a camera pointed at us but we really did. Stephanie even got me to smile on command, which is no easy feat. My wife and I both definitely recommend booking her, she's the best.
Oh, and she's very punctual. That's important!
We absolutely LOVED working with Stephanie! Not only is her work amazing, she is just an amazing person to work with. I was so lucky because she is the photographer I wanted to take my photos and she ended up available. So I didn't have the stress of finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture your wedding. I hear this can be a stressful task for any bride. We loved the way she interacted with us, our families, our bridal party and our guests to make us feel comfortable and at ease. Stephanie definitely captured one of the most important days of our lives. When we look at our photos it brings us right back there to that amazing evening.
We highly recommend her!
Stephanie as absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I both feel as though we've known her forever. We laughed and smiled the entire session for our engagement photos. Can't wait for our wedding!!!!
We've only worked with Stephanie thus far for our engagement pictures, but I cannot wait to work with her at my wedding. She is flexible, friendly, and really spent the time to get to know my fiance and I. He's not comfortable in front of the camera, but got him to relax.
We took our engagement photos outside in January in 20 degree weather. I. was. freezing. When we showed up, however, Stephanie had handwarmers and a blanket in a bag, ready to go for me. We also had our dog on the shoot with us, and Stephanie did a great job with her - even with the blur she is as she ran around!
Love Stephanie, can't recommend her enough.
Stephanie Bannon Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! We spent a lot of time deciding on a photographer, and we are so happy we chose Stephanie. She was very professional and efficient. We only had 30 minutes at the church, and she was able to organize several family photos (grandparents, cousins, cousin's children, aunts, uncles, etc.) flawlessly. She captured every picture we wanted and more. All of our pictures were posted on a website within 6 weeks (and we got a preview much sooner). And the slideshow was amazing! We could watch it over and over to relive our wedding day. We highly recommend Stephanie Bannon as your wedding photographer!
There are a lot of wonderful things about the day of your wedding - but I never thought that my photographer would be at the top of the list. Stephanie Bannon was an absolute pleasure to work with and not only made our wedding day relaxed, fun, and organized - she captured in perfectly. I am in awe of the images she captured; they perfectly represent all of the joy and emotions of the day. I hope I never have to plan another wedding, but if I do I would 100% hire Stephanie Bannon Photography again. Thank you, Stephanie!!
Stephanie Bannon is a true pro. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided for me and my beautiful wife. She had this amazing spot near the Mississippi River for my engagement photos. We decided to take our wedding photos in Forest Park and they turned out wonderful. If I ever need a photographer later in the future, Stephanie is my number one choice. She was very nice and super creative with our photos.
Stepahnie Bannon is truly amazing at what she does... Not only is she passionate about her profession but you can tell that photography is her passion! Stephanie did our engagement session and the pictures were stunning! Stephanie was very easy to work with, all the way from helping us pick the location to getting us to loosen up during our session! My fiancé and I had the best time together during our session and I'm pretty sure Stephanie had just as much fun as we did. I'm very happy with our choice in picking Stephanie to capture our engagement photos and can't wait to see what she has in store for us on our wedding day.
Stephanie Bannon Photography was truly amazing. She helped on suggestions, when I was not sure where to shoot my engagement photos. They, of course, turned out fantastic. My friends, family and I were thoroughly impressed. Stephanie is very personable and easy to work with on anything. I would highly recommend Stephanie.
Stephanie is so awesome! My husband and I are soooo indecisive and she helped us every step of the way!! We could not be happier with all of our pictures!! She also made a slideshow that I was able to share on facebook with all of my friends and family! She totally went above and beyond our expectations!! And she has such a unique way of taking pictures and setting up poses. We had so much fun!! Seriously, my husband had fun taking engagement pictures and wedding pictures!! I never thought I would say that lol
I found Stephanie via the internet, based on reviews like this, so I feel like I should definitely leave one of my own. She is super laid back, very responsive to what you want, and is just a very pleasant person (which, holy moly, some of our other vendors could take a cue from her). Highly recommended.
Stephanie is one of the sweetest and patient photgraphers I have ever met! My fiancé and my engagement photo shoot was on one of the hottest days of the summer. Stephanie was so patient with me and allowed me to get in the car to cool off and touch up my make up! She made the experience so enjoyable and fun! I though the pictures were going to turn out not so stunning because of how sweaty I was during the shoot. She made the photos look beautiful!!!
I would let her take photos of me all day! I cannot wait for her to photograph our big day in September because I know the photos will be amazing! I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, energetic, and creative photographer! Thanks!!!!

Stephanie Bannon was referred to me by a friend of mine who is also a photographer. Being recommended by another photographer already spoke volumes as to what I could expect. I contacted other photographers prior to selecting Stephanie, but as soon as I spoke with her my decision was made! We live in Kansas City, but our venue was closer to St. Louis. Stephanie was willing to travel to the city we were getting married, which was an hour drive for her. She traveled there to do our engagement shoot, as well as the wedding. The distance was never an issue. We met her in person for the first time to do our engagement shoot. Stephanie is very laid back and we weren't nervous, or uncomfortable around her ever! We received a package in the mail with our completed photos. What was in that package confirmed that "the little things" don't slip past Stephanie. In fact those little things, that meant the most to me, are what I feel she is the best at capturing. It poured on our wedding day and Stephanie went above and beyond in so many ways. She was our photographer, but she was the one person who helped make me feel as though the rain was just a part of the day, not something to be worried about. I will be forever grateful that we found Stephanie and that she is the one we chose to capture our day. I could go on and on about the little things she did, but the impression she left on me proved that this is her natural born talent, and not just in her picture taking skills.
Stephanie Bannon is so incredible. My husband and I had her do our engagement photos and our wedding day. She was prompt and so friendly and made us instantly feel at ease. She knows exactly what to say to make is relax and kept us from letting the day get the best of us. She made our day memorable and we are so grateful for her. Her photos are AMAZING. She captures every moment and never misses a thing. Anything we could ever want in a photographer, she was it. We will call her for any moment in our future that we want to capture professionally and we know without a doubt she will deliver exceptional photos. We will never use another photographer and I only wish we had found her sooner! She is the best.
Stephanie Bannon made a perfect day even more perfect. Her skills and interaction with my wife and I were unbelievable. Very easy to have around and definitely knows her stuff...definitely going to use her again when necessary! Overall, just a great person and business owner.
Stephanie Bannon is a wonderful photographer. She is able to get the couples personality through captured moments. Stephanie takes time in her work and clients. I highly recommend her for your big day!!
My finance and I were planning on taking a trip to St. Louis from Kansas City for our engagement photo session with Stephanie. Sadly, Stephanie contacted us the week before our day and informed us that her grandmother passed away and she was going to have to reschedule our session. Not only did she make sure she would not miss a wedding in St. Louis that same weekend, but also offered to take a quick family vacation to Kansas City on her one weekend off so she could meet up with us in KC! So awesome! Our session went amazingly well, even though I picked a location that decided to have a festival start at exactly the same time we showed up! Stephanie was very flexible and definitely made the best out of what could have been a mess. She was so creative and we had so much fun. Plus, we LOVE our pictures! Thank you Stephanie.
If you are looking for a photographer to capture you and your loved one in a natural way, then Stephanie Bannon is the photographer for you! I became familiar with Stephanie's work after a friend posted her engagement session with Stephanie. Stephanie's photography captured the personalities of my friend and her fiance. The poses weren't stiff or contrived and they looked natural for the couple.
Photography style and price were my deciding factors in choosing Stephanie Bannon Photography to capture my own wedding. I loved the natural look she was able to achieve. Stephanie's price is more than fair if you photos are important to your big day but you don't want to overextend your budget.
Stephanie recently completed my engagement photos and she delivered all that I was looking for! She has many tricks up her sleeve to achieve just the right pose and the right look from the couple. My fiance admitted that he had not been looking forward to our engagement photo session, but he was impressed by Stephanie's fun and personable personality and had a great time! Stephanie Bannon has my highest recommendation and I can't wait for her to capture my wedding in November!
We used Stephanie for our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. She is incredibly professional and does a fantastic job directing the people she's photographing. All of our pictures looked incredibly beautiful and natural. Our Best Man's wife remarked how professional and efficient Stephanie was and lamented that they hadn't been a little more picky with their own wedding photographer. Stephanie was up for anything that we wanted to do and was very knowledgeable of good places to take pictures in Forest park that wouldn't be overrun with people. I would definitely recommend her!
My fiance and I recently had our engagement photos done by Stephanie and we absolutely love them! We have had our pictures taken professionally before with out much luck, but Stephanie was Awesome! She is a blast to work with and really knows her stuff. I would recommend her services to anyone! I can not wait for her to shoot our wedding this August.
What drew my husband and I to Stephanie's work is that she's able to capture not only beautiful "standard" shots, but is also able to perfectly capture the fleeting impromptu moments that make a wedding memorable. Stephanie and her co-photographer were easy to work with and went with the flow when we changed up the day's plans on the fly. We've now seen the full scope of photos taken that day, and they are GORGEOUS. Our family and friends continue to comment on how beautifully the day was captured in Stephanie's photos. Thank you, Stephanie!
Stephanie Bannon was superb! Not only did she take fabulous photos, but she was so great to work with too. She was very laid back and flexible. The day of the wedding she knew what our schedule was supposed to be, and she kept us on track. She made sure everything happened when we wanted it to, and she caught everything on camera. She took charge of the situation when she needed to and always accommodated our wants and needs. Her day-of service was more than we ever expected of our photographer. She was on top of it! We are thrilled with the resulting pictures too! (I need to go out to get a digital frame because I can't just choose one to hang in our house.) She really captured the magic of the day and we will cherish our photos forever more!
My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer!! From the moment we got engaged, I knew Stephaniee Bannon was my choice for our wedding photographer! We used Stephanie before for a family photo session and from the moment we got the pictures back, I LOVED them!! She is amazing and her pricing is very affordable! I tell everyone I know to use her for any and all photography!!
Stephanie did our engagement pictures and was with us for 12 hours on our wedding day along with another photographer of hers. They were both amazing and made our day fun and relaxing! They kept everyone laughing and did an amazing job. We absolutely LOVE our pictures and would recommend Stephanie to anyone!
I was looking for a photographer for my wedding and remembered that my brother and his wife really liked their photographer Stephanie for their wedding, so I went ahead and booked her for ours. She was fantastic and very professional from the very beginning. She met with me before I even officially booked her to go over her prices, packages, hours, etc. We got a free engagement photo session which turned out great. She also met with me before the wedding to go over all of the details and to know exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early with her assistant. She was very good at organizing our very large wedding party and getting great photos. We got our wedding pictures recently from her and they are better than I imagined them to be! She captured every important moment and detail of the wedding that we can now look back on forever with the pictures. If you want a great photographer with a great price, book Stephanie.
