Stephanie Flores Photography

First I would like to say Stephiane went above and beyond with everything she did. Being stationed across the country and planning a wedding back home can be stressful but from my first post on Facebook looking for photographer suggestions she immediately was suggested and our first phone call interaction was like we knew each other for over 5 years! Then she was super flexible for our engagement shoot (being in the military you only get about a 20 day notice of when you can go home) she was super understanding and worked with us and then our wedding. BOOM! She killed it! I thought there was going to be commotion from the ceremony to the photos to the reception but it was smooth sailing! I got so many compliments not only on my photographs but my whole bridal party love the vibe she brought! She truly is the bridesmaid/hype woman/mom you NEED for your wedding!

Things I liked: 1. Ability to make payments on the balance due. 2. Pictures are coming out good. 3. How helpful she was when my wedding party could not figure out my bustle. 4. Her quick response time to my messages. 5. She did send a few sneak peeks and did give me images before the timeline so I could do my thank you cards with it. Things I am unhappy with: 1. Started off with a bad vibe over a scheduling error and hoped communication would get better over the upcoming months however disappointed as it never did. 2. Did not take initiative to keep me updated with delays in my gallery. I consistently have to start conversations to be left with excuses and new completion dates. 3. Reached out at the 10 week mark to inquire on when I would receive the pictures as the contract outlined a timeline of 8-10 weeks, response was within 2 more weeks. 4. After I mentioned the contract dates, I received the first batch of photos at 11 weeks. 5. It was overlooked that important pictures (both bride and groom getting ready, cake cutting, bouquet toss, and some other specific shots like the veil shot) were never given to me. Had to bring it to their attention and ask for them. 6. 15 weeks and still have not received my complete gallery despite 7-8 inquiries for them. 7. Looking through what I have received would have been nice if one of the multiple people would have pointed out little things like hair being messed up for pics or that the photographs were not being centered.

The first time we talked to Stephanie was through video chat. She was easy to talk to and kind enough to work with our budget. Couple months passed and it was time to do our engagement photos and we finally got to meet her! She's fun, out-going, crazy, and pretty out there! It made us feel comfortable because my husband and I are the exact same way. She takes the most amazing photos! From angles to the perfect lighting. She also made me feel beautiful. Then came our wedding day. She brought her crew and they were awesome as well. We loved it when she gave us so much hype when doing our wedding shots with our entourage lol We had so much fun! Everybody loved her! Although it did take a little bit to see our pictures but it was worth the wait! Things happen unexpectedly all the time and we understand. We're human and we have no control of what's to happen. But we were texting each other not just as a client but as friends. Getting updates and talking about life lol. In the end, we are very glad of the outcome. If you're looking for a photographer, look no more. We highly recommend her services. She's wonderful.

I first came across Forever After Photography on Instagram and started following them. I then got engaged and knew immediately I wanted Stephanie to capture my wedding. My fiancé wanted to try her out for engagement photos first since he's very shy in front of the camera. Stephanie found the perfect location for our engagement session, showed up earlier than scheduled and really made us feel comfortable. As soon as we left the engagement session he kept going on and on, about how he wanted Stephanie as our wedding photographer. He didn't feel that he had just left a photoshoot he felt he just left hanging out with an old friend. Our wedding came and Stephanie was so kind she called me before showing up for getting ready shots and asked if I would like anything to eat or drink. She did an amazing job of capturing those precious moments of my mom and sister helping me to get ready. After the ceremony and bridal portraits, she pulled me and my husband, Ryan, aside and showed us a quick slideshow she had created while we were enjoying some cocktails. We both thought how awesome is this to see some images while we were still at our wedding. At the end of the night, she surprised us with a beautiful box with some matted photos from the slideshow she had shown us earlier that night. She said she wanted us to have something to hold and admire tonight while she worked on our whole gallery. When we received the final gallery we were blown away. Every single photo captured showed our love for one another. I am so happy we choose Forever After Photography for our wedding. We will be returning for all our photos for now on. She has a friend and client for life! If you have a chance to book Forever After Photography do so Stephanie will make sure you have a great experience!
