Stephanie was probably our favorite person to work with for our wedding. She is fun, personable, confident and an amazing photographer. We found her through Visit Loudoun, a group that helps connect vendors to engaged couples. Upon our first meeting with her, she was a clear contender, and we couldn't be happier to have chosen to work with her! We actually found out shortly before our first meeting that my now-husband's sister had also booked Stephanie for HER wedding 6 months before ours. We made it clear from the beginning of our conversations that we were two very different couples and wanted to make sure that our pictures would not look the same/similar in comparison to one another. Stephanie understood this fully and was not put off by this at all. We were excited to book the videographer package with her and even were able to add in an extra hour last minute when our timeline was finalized and we wanted to make sure she got pictures of all the fun things we had planned! So far we've seen our preview photos and they are JUST BEAUTIFUL! I keep referring to the pictures of our wedding party as our magazine spread. The colors look amazing and I can't wait to see the rest!

Unfortunately, Stephanie could not make it so she sent her assistant Jennifer. Jennifer was super nice and friendly during the photos. She captured some gorgeous shots as well. I take one star because of how long it took to get our photos back. It was almost three weeks. She didn't provide even a few photos so we could post on social media that we were married. Also, when we tried to book her for our reception a year later the TAT between emails was pretty long. The photos were gorgeous but not sure I'd go with her again. Not the smoothest and didn't feel like a top priority.

Stephanie is the most professional, dedicated and talented photographer I have ever known and worked with. Stephanie is very organized, does whatever you need to make your photos come to life and goes with the flow. For example, at my wedding yesterday, there was a LOT of wind and Stephanie managed to find great shots by angling the photos to go with the wind patterns to make my wife's veil go seamlessly with the weather and capture great moments! Stephanie is consistently focused on making sure the photos are exactly what you imagined and then taking that vision and making it even better. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and knew that once we booked her there wouldn't be anything (photographer wise) I would need to worry about. Stephanie went above and beyond my expectations and truly made this experience enjoyable and one to remember! I recommend Stephanie to EVERY couple looking for a photographer for your special day!

I am so grateful that my husband and I found Stephanie to be our photographer! She was so easy to get along with from the start. She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Both times we had so much fun doing the shoot with her. Even with it being our first photoshoot, we felt comfortable with her help. Our families and friends loved getting to meet her and talk to her at our wedding. We will be cherishing the photos she took for years to come! I will totally be asking her to do any other photoshoots In the future for us!

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful!! From the start she was extremely helpful with the planning process. She offered vendor options when we were stuck and was there to lend an ear when we had to postpone our reception! We were so grateful she was able to capture both our small ceremony in May and our big reception in July! We already have all the digital photos from May which are gorgeous! And the sneak peek from July which follow suit. She is fun and professional and not intrusive at all. We didn't even know she was there during the ceremony! Such a nice change of pace from some photographers I've seen at weddings. We got to know her even more having her twice and I can't say enough good things about her! You won't be disappointed booking with Stephanie for your wedding or really anything! We will definitely utilize her skills in the future! Thank you for capturing both of our days so beautifully!

Stephanie was hands down one of the best vendor decisions we made for our big day!! From our first meeting to the engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was such a fun and energetic addition to our wedding team! My husband and I are both not the most comfortable people in front of a camera, and Stephanie’s charm and friendly personality were able to help us relax and have fun with the entire process, which gave us some beautiful photos. She was able to offer us countless suggestions for locations for both the engagement photos and the wedding day photos, and we had complete trust in her that she could take the lead on layouts and poses and she did not disappoint!! My family is all so excited to see our wedding photos, as we know the quality of the images that Stephanie can produce is wonderful! I am looking forward to using Stephanie in the future to capture photos of my family!

Everything about working with Stephanie has been a pleasure. She is a bright light of charming enthusiasm that will enhance any occasion. Stephanie eagerly caught my non-conforming vision for my faith and family-focused wedding. Throughout the day, she remained encouraging, focused, cheerful and attentive (but never overbearing or intrusive). I would give her my highest recommendation. Thanks Stephanie! You are a blessing!

Stephanie is more than amazing. We loved the engagement pictures she took back in November. We lucked out with the fall back drop. She gave us great ideas on possible locations to take the shoot. We are eager to see our wedding pictures! But we are sure they are just as amazing as the engagement pictures. Stephanie is very fun. Most importantly, she's patient and will work with you on packages that will serve you best. She's also professional and gives you the contract right away, which I like very much! Organized and talented, you can't go wrong with her services!!!!!!

I could not have asked for a better photographer. Stephanie has the perfect personality to have fit in with my wedding party!!!! The "sneak peaks" I have seen so far are far beyond what I could have hoped for!! I can't wait to see the rest. We met a few times prior to ceremony and immediately felt like I had made a new friend. She is great. She has great ideas, talent and energy! I felt extremely comfortable with Stephanie being the one to memorialize our special day for us in images. Thank you.
