About this vendor
Easy and fun. Like all weddings should be. (The stress stops here.)
If I know you like I think I do, you’re getting married in Wine Country because you know it’s a place you’ll get taken care of. It’s a town full of hospitality and warmth. And let’s not forget the great wine, the perfect scenery, and the memories you’ll have forever because you two came here to say “I do.”
You’ll have those moments because I’ll document them for you. And I can’t wait:)

Stephanie, you are SERIOUSLY the best!!!
This review is for a woman who’s truly not only curated amazing photos of our wedding day but also someone we are so lucky to now have in...
our lives!
Stephanie was one of the first vendors we booked because it was absolutely love at first chat with her. We clicked instantly and it was like we were lifelong friends at happy hour. She was funny, warm and engaging over the phone - and after meeting her at our engagement photo session, it absolutely sealed the deal that we were so happy to have her us our photographer. In fact, we felt like we were just wine tasting with a friend walking around Castillo Di Amorosa - we didn’t want our session to end!
My husband and I are silly on camera so we didn’t really know what to do but she knew exactly how to direct us that when we got our engagement photos back we were so impressed! She made us look like we’ve been posing for photos our whole life. We knew then that when wedding day came that we would be in such good hands and that she would for sure make us look amazing with each photo.
On the actual wedding day, Stephanie was by our side throughout the whole day. I honestly don’t know how I could have survived wedding day without her funny and calming presence! She honestly made it is so special. She became a hand to hold and a friend to calm you down and make you laugh through all the wedding stress. I felt like she was an unofficial bridesmaid with how she supported me through the whole day. On top of that, she did an amazing job keeping the wedding flow on track and EVERYONE of my friends and family loved her and her energy!
She is also so incredibly thoughtful - sending us cute little treats for when we booked her and absolutely just melted our hearts with her post wedding gift of personalized cookies of our wedding neon sign and inside jokes we will cherish for life! We also got married in November and she got us our photos just in time for Christmas cards which we were so incredibly grateful for!
Her finished product just blew us out of the park! It completely captured all the genuine and heart felt moments we wanted to relive, but at the same time in a quality that truly showed Stephanie is very seasoned in her art. Even my mother in law was so impressed at how she was able to get all the colors pop with every picture. I am honestly still blown away by them and have her gorgeous photos as my wallpaper on my phone for me to see daily.
My husband and I honestly have decided to have her take all our milestone photos for life (if she would have us, of course) if to just have an excuse to hang out with her! She is easily one of the best investments we made in life because not only did she produce gorgeous memories of a lifetime from our wedding day but we also gained a friend for life.
We love you so much Stephanie!
Stephanie is so, so talented and wonderful. She makes you feel instantly at ease, has a great sense of humor, and is fantastic at her job. We found her searching for photographers ...
that did our venue, Sbragia, on Instagram and fell in love with her style. She’s super responsive and attentive leading up to the wedding too. We did a level 2 package which included an engagement photo shoot and an assistant on our wedding day. Wow, what a great decision! Her assistant, Sheila, was also fantastic. I wish we could do it all again! Oh, and she’s excellent at coordinating with wedding planners, etc too. Love her and highly recommend!
We absolutely LOVED having Stephanie as our wedding photographer. She is by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She truly captured not just beautiful moments, bu...
t the emotions of the day. You know your photographer is talented when you look at your gallery and all the emotions come flooding back!
My wedding jitters didn’t hit until a couple hours before my ceremony. The moment Stephanie walked in, I instantly felt calmer. She was so warm, reassuring, and helped me to feel comfortable and confident (which have never been words I use to describe myself in front of a camera). It didn’t take but a couple minutes for my mom to whisper to me “oh my gosh, she’s great!” Leading up to the wedding, my husband was not looking forward to pictures because he didn’t want to miss the cocktail hour or dinner. Well, Stephanie made sure we didn’t miss either one, and my husband even had a good time taking pictures! Pictures felt like a natural part of the day instead of a task on the to-do list.
Stephanie sent first look pictures two days later, and a full gallery in about 3 weeks - and it’s wonderful. Leading up to the wedding she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. So on top of being a great photographer and having such a fun personality, she is extremely fast, hardworking, and professional
Stephanie blew me away! She took our wedding photos in January 2022. I knew from the minute I saw her work she was the photographer I had to have. Her photography is beautiful, it ...
speaks for itself, but Stephanie is the whole package! Let me tell you, a genuine connection with your photographer is SO IMPORTANT!
Looking at her website, she had me sold. But the added bonus was being able to have Stephanie at our wedding to spend our day with us—that’s how great she was. I was so excited to meet her, but I didn’t expect how hilarious and personable she is! (We had a zoom call before I hired her and she immediately felt like a best friend we just couldn’t stop talking and stayed on the zoom call way longer than it was scheduled for. And usually I’m dying to get off zoom! Lol). At the same time she was very professional and organized she made sure that I got every shot I requested and had all of our wedding party in check and ready to go.
I’m so awkward taking pictures but she walked us through all of our poses and cracked jokes with the wedding party and our families throughout all of our photos. It was amazing. Before she clicked her first picture I had to move to my “good side”. She remembered which way I needed turned, and moved everyone around me to cater to it. (It’s the little things, right?!?!)
You know those people you don’t want to leave at the end of the night—that was Stephanie. She was such a good time I just didn’t want to say goodbye! If you want the most perfect photos and a photographer that you feel like is a best friend you’ve known forever, go with Stephanie!
Stephanie was so awesome from our first video chat, to our engagement shoot, and all the way to our final wedding photos. We could not have asked for a better photographer. She mad...
e us feel so comfortable and worked with our large family beautifully. I have the best memories of working with Stephanie and recommend her highly!
If you’re looking for someone you can trust to capture the most precious and unforgettable moments of your wedding day, you’re in the best hands with Stephanie Hopkins Photography....
We hired Stephanie for engagement and wedding photoshoots (2 hour and 8 hour sessions) in Summer 2019, while we were remotely planning our wine-country wedding from Boston. Among all the vendors who made our big day possible, we had the closest relationship with her.
Stephanie is highly professional, receptive, creative, and naturally friendly from the get go. She came recommended by our wedding coordinator at Milestone Events group, was local to the area and had worked with our venue before. Stephanie started off our consultation call genuinely wanting to get to know us and our vision for the wedding, before describing her photography style to see if we were a good fit. She walked us through her various packages and was able to work with our budget.
We were really happy that we paired our wedding shoot with an engagement shoot one week prior! Stephanie taught us how to pose for different shots in a way that felt most natural to us, talked us through the shoot to distract us from the camera and just let loose with each other. Her communication was on point through the entire process, and helped us make some big decisions like whether or not to do a First Look before the ceremony. (This surprised us as one of the most emotional moments of the whole day!). She helped us create a timeline to prioritize formal family photos and those beautiful golden-hour shots, and gently reminded us throughout the event to help us stay on track. Her whole crew was able to blend in easily with the guests to get candid shots, and captured a very even spread of the activities, the food, the decor, and our guests, all outdoors and in varied degrees of lighting. We didn’t worry for a minute - Stephanie took care of every moment.
We got the engagement photos within a week and wedding photos within 3 weeks post-shoot. I can’t express how much this meant to us, especially as we started a cross-country move a month after our wedding and were apart for 6 more months in the moving process. These photos let us relive our wedding moments and keep each other close while we were thousands of miles apart. That’s how much a picture is worth.
Hands down, Stephanie is the photographer you want for the most important day of your life. We had a great experience with her, and we know you will too!
Stephanie is amazing! My husband and I were married in September at Copain Winery, and the photos she took are simply stunning. She somehow managed to capture every special moment ...
in the best possible way. Stephanie and her partner James were also so fun to work with during the entire process! She's incredibly responsive, warm, friendly, and she makes you feel like a priority leading up to the event. On the day of the wedding, she was so excited for us! It felt like we hired a close friend - one who takes exceptional photos!
We used Stephanie as our photographer for our intimate wedding on 12/30/18 in Healdsburg. She was quite simply the best! We did not want a photographer who did everything by the bo...
ok, but rather one who was flexible and who would "go with the flow". Her personality and friendly nature made her feel like part of the family/wedding early on, and we hated to see her go that night! Her photography is great, and she also was very quick in processing the photos. We highly recommend Stephanie :):)!
I first discovered Stephanie as a bridesmaid, when she was photographing my best friend's wedding. She was a joy to work with that day, and when I got engaged there was absolutely ...
no doubt in my mind that that I wanted her to be our photographer! We hired Stephanie to take our engagement photos as well as to capture our elopement, and we could not be more in love with our photos! She has a true talent for capturing the emotion of the moment, which was the main thing I was hoping to achieve in our wedding photos. She is also such a warm and fun presence to have with you on your wedding day, she made us both feel so comfortable and like we were just hanging out with a friend. She is amazingly talented, and I will absolutely be coming back to Stephanie to photograph our future milestones.
Stephanie was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, and choosing her was the best decision we made! We loved our engagement photos and were so at ease with Stephanie so we kn...
ew she would make our wedding day amazing. One of the best things Stephanie did for us was help make a timeline for our wedding day based around when we wanted photos. She knew we wanted golden hour photos, so she built a schedule around that and took all of my stress away. The day of our wedding stephanie was so happy and excited and it really helped everyone stay in a great mood through all of the photos. When we got our photos back, I was beyond amazed. She captured every part of the day so beautifully and I can’t ever thank her enough for capturing those memories. She made sure we got all of the shots we wanted plus so many more and her turnaround time was great. She has become a friend of ours and we will forever feel so lucky to have met her. Book her for your wedding, you won’t regret it!
Stephanie is everything you want your photographer to be and more. Her work is amazing and after she shot our engagement, I knew I wanted (needed) her to capture our wedding day! ...
She's attentive, patient and super sweet. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera; we all loved her! I cannot thank Stephanie enough for her awesome work! I will forever cherish our engagement and wedding photos.
Stephanie shot my fiance and I's proposal in Napa. We couldn't say more amazing things about Stephanie! She captured the moment PERFECTLY, getting our reactions from all angles. Th...
e images turned out better than I ever could have imagined for this special moment. Stephanie communicated so well with my fiance leading up to the moments of the proposal and even stayed longer than planned because we were behind schedule. We had never taken professional photos before and she made the experience feel so natural and comfortable - I felt like I had known her prior to that day! She shared sneak peaks within an hour of the shoot and shared the full digital album in less than a week. Like I said, we could not say enough amazing things about Stephanie and her incredible work. Even though we are not local to the area, I tell everyone about her when I show our engagement photos. I recommend Stephanie to anyone who need to capture a special moment in Northern California and beyond! Also follow her on Instagram - she is hilarious and you really get to see her personality and work shine!
We met Stephanie years ago for a family photo session. She was cheery, funny, and made everyone feel at ease with the pictures. When it came time to get married I already knew who ...
I wanted. We had a destination wedding, and I am so happy we used Stephanie to photograph our wedding. We had family drama right before the wedding and Stephanie jumped right in and came up with ideas for how to deal with it. She put everyone at ease. We got photos from the resort as a part of our wedding package, but the photos from Stephanie are 100% better. Her photos you can see the detail and love she has for taking photos. We will always be thankful for her amazing photos. And will continue to use her for all of life events!
Picking a photographer was a huge deal to me as we planned our wedding. Probably one of the most important vendor decisions for us. We chose Stephanie as our wedding photographer a...
nd I am so glad we did. She has a calm and positive demeanor which made us both so comfortable in front of the camera. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely perfect! If you are looking for someone to help you feel relaxed and someone who artfully captures your big day, I highly recommend Stephanie. We still can’t stop looking at our wedding pictures!!
I cannot express how happy I am with both my wedding and engagement photos. Stephanie is fun, energetic, and made us feel so comfortable being photographed. We didn't plan to do an...
engagement session, but as part of our package with Stephanie, I am so so happy we did it, they are truly amazing photos. She totally understood what was important to capture during our wedding, and there are so many beautiful photos, everytime I look at them I get to relive that amazing day. Getting a good photographer was really important to me, as it is the only thing you get to keep after the wedding to remember it by, and I would 100% hire Stephanie again if given the chace
Stephanie is so wonderful to work with, both for clients and vendors! Her cheery attitude and willingness to be flexible while still delivering flawless work makes her extremely v...
aluable as a wedding photographer! Her images are gorgeous and an incredible value for the investment (she’s a steal for how amazing her photos are!). Her sweet, easy-going way makes her the perfect choice for the one wedding vendor that is in your face for a large part of your wedding day. Love having her in my little black book of wedding vendors!
