Stephanie was fantastic. We dud our engagement photos with her before our wedding and that helped us get comfortable with her and her shooting style. She made the whole day run smo...
othly, fluffing and arranging my train and veil every time we moved. Not to mention the beautiful photos. Could not recommend her enough.
Stephanie is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding and words don’t even describe how wonderful she was. She quickly responded to any questions before our big day, which ...
made the wedding day expectations smooth, easy and understandable. She gave the highest importance to ensuring we were very happy with how our poses turned out. She has pure talent for helping non-photogenic couples, and knows how to make every photo look super natural. Her second shooter was always right by our side, making us laugh, helping lay out the train on my dress, or fluffing the veil in the wind. Our photos truly belonged in a magazine with their special touch! I would definitely hire Stephanie again for a special occasion, and I recommend her services to anyone and everyone!
Stephanie is such an amazing photographer and overall human being! She photographed our daughter’s wedding and the pics turned out amazing! Can’t wait to use her for more special e...

Stephanie was an amazing photographer at our wedding. She captured everything perfectly, even despite the rain. We requested our photos be more candid shots, rather than staged pho...

Stephanie and her husband are so wonderful. They recently covered my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! The sneak peak we got the day after the wedding has great pictures, and thei...
r personalities made the day even better. Stephanie knows how to take charge to get everything done quickly and efficiently, but in a very pleasant and kind way. I would like to especially shout out her husband for the help he provided on the day. He was holding my water, extra shoes, flowers, etc while doing our posed photos which made everything so much easier and calm for me. But even more important in my opinion, he rushed (literally ran) to my mom’s aid when she fell onto concrete immediately before we walked down the aisle. Everyone else had already walked down the aisle to the ceremony, so there was no one around that we knew, and he jumped right in to take care of her. For that act alone I could never thank these two enough. This review is getting long, but all in all, I recommend them to anyone and everyone!
Matron of Honor Approved! - My cousin was recently married in Midlothian and she chose Stephanie to photograph her big day. With our very large family being from Massachusetts, I k...
new my cousin would have to pick someone fantastic, and she absolutely did! Stephanie was so wonderful to our whole family while keeping everyone on track with timing - we can get distracted! She was such a joy to have throughout the day. She made sure to take photos of everything my cousin requested and then some! I’m sure there’s plenty of candies of the officiant breaking it down on the dance floor! Thank you a million times over, Stephanie!!
Stephanie is INCREDIBLE. She took our engagement photos at the Jefferson memorial and they were a dream! Leading up to the shoot she was very responsive and easy to communicate wit...
h. She knew all the different poses we should do and walked us through the entire shoot. She truly went above and beyond to make sure out photos were better than we could have ever asked for! Our photos even arrived way sooner than expected! You can tell from her work that photography is something she truly loves. You should definitely book her!!
Stephanie did an amazing job capturing the special moments at our wedding! She was very easy to communicate with, make sure she understood what kind of pics we were hoping she’d ca...
pture, took time to get pictures of the rings/decorations before the ceremony began, & was very patient with us getting pics with all our friends/family. Bonus was she got pics of just my husband & I after we got married & it was so awesome that she captured those moments of just the two of us. We are aren’t great with posing so she also helped guide us & got great candid moments between my husband & me.
We almost didn’t get a photographer, but I definitely would have regretted it. I’ll cherish these pictures forever!
Stephanie was great. I booked her somewhat last minute after my first photographer was not answering and even when they did answer were being evasive. From the moment she joined ou...
r wedding team, she answered every email and helped comfort the wedding stress. Her husband and her (photography duo) felt like friends and were so great at just talking about what we wanted and expected. She didn't get in the way once and we got our sneak peek less than 12 hours after our wedding finished. The pictures were stunning and she was great.
Stephanie was the perfect wedding photographer for us. When looking for vendors we had a focus on kind and down to earth individuals that we wanted by our side as we planned our bi...
g day. From the moment we met Stephanie and her husband for our engagement photos, we were so excited for the decision to work together for our wedding. Throughout the day she ensured to get all the shots we did and didn't think about. She was there to pose and capture all the memories. Her package included videography, so we won't forget a single thing about the day. Once our photos were ready, it was easy to see how talented Stephanie is and how perfectly she captured our day. Our family and friends continue to talk about how beautiful our pictures turned out and we couldn't be happier. We are so grateful to have found her to shoot such a special day for us!
Stephanie did my first anniversary photo shoot and was incredible! She responded very quickly to all my messages from the beginning. My husband and I can be very awkward with poses...
, and she had so many fun and natural shots. I’ll treasure these forever.
Stephanie took the most beautiful and creative pictures. I would highly recommend! My daughter hired her but if I ever do tie the knot (highly unlikely) she would be my choice!
Stephanie was very professional and amazing to work with. Out of all our vendors we had to worry the least about her. She was on top of everything and was very friendly. During our...
wedding she not only acted as a photographer but also helped make sure everything ran smoothly, asking us if we needed anything. Her turn around time for sneak peeks was amazing. It took about 3 months to get all the photos but there was multiple holidays between our wedding and when we got them, and they were 100% worth the wait. The pictures were amazing and she stayed in communication with us the whole time letting us know updates on when they will all be ready. We will definitely be using Stephanie for all our events that require a photographer. I couldn’t recommend Stephanie enough!
Stephanie was very easy to work with. She showed up on a timely manner and immediately felt like we made a good choice. She got the small details. She showed us a few sneak shots o...
n her camera when they were THAT good. I truly adored the little details she added. It did take a bit to get photos back. However, we did get back PLENTY of photos that I LOVED reliving. She captured everything SO beautifully. She made me look amazing in all the photos!!! Forever thankful for that!
Stephanie and Andrew were so spectacular for our wedding photography. I knew we found the best photographers for us when we met and realized they were like working with good friend...

They are so easy to communicate with, and really went the extra mile with answering my questions and also helping out during the day. Our wedding day was so full of love, and I'm forever grateful to have so many pictures that reflect that! I highly recommend them!

ry comfortable (like you’ve been friends forever). Her husband is the same way. The pictures she took were absolutely gorgeous and we are so so pleased with our service. I highly recommend her for any photography you may need. We are now planning on using her for our newborn photography as my husband and I are expecting our first baby soon. Stephanie is the best!
Stephanie was fabulous on our big day! She fit right in and made me feel very comfortable taking photos, and she was very efficient in getting ALL of our family, bridal party, and ...
