Stephanie and Chris were absolutely fantastic to work with! They were very personable and professional throughout the entire process, and were especially accommodating and helpful...
as we planned our wedding during the Covid-19 pandemic. We chose the 10 hour package for our September 2020 wedding and have almost 2000 photos that we can look back to remember our special day, along with a couple hundred from our engagement shoot. We were somewhat nervous and self-conscious about how we look in photos, but Stephanie and Chris completely put us at ease and helped us look great. They are extremely knowledgeable on posing and lighting and every one of our pictures turned out beautifully. We could not recommend them enough and we are thrilled we chose them to capture our day!
Stephanie was such a delight to work with. I worked with her previously for my best friends wedding and felt so comfortable and natural working with her then, I was eager to book h...
er for our engagement session in the German Village. She did her research! A week before our session she went out of her way to explore the area where we wanted to shoot and when we arrived the day of, she already had a plan set (as someone who’s a planner this was so nice to have taken care of and decisions made for us). The hour and a half of our engagement session flew by and was so fun! It was the perfect amount of time to get in two outfits and multiple backdrops throughout the German Village. She was able to get us all of our photos with edits within a month, to have in time to show our families at Christmas. I highly recommend working with her if you are in the Columbus area!
Stephanie and Chris were a literal DREAM to work with! From the first time meeting them, we knew they were the photographers we wanted to capture our big day. Choosing a photograph...
er is a very daunting task with wedding planning so that fact that they made our decision so easy was amazing. Stephanie and Chris are such a sweet husband and wife duo, and they work together so well when photographing. From our engagement session to our wedding day, they captured some of the most beautiful moments (some that I never even knew happened)! We chose the 10 hour package and when they sent us over our gallery we had almost 2000 photos, which was unreal!! Our photos turned out AMAZING and its so much fun to relive the day going through all of them. Your wedding day goes by so fast, so having a photographer you trust and enjoy working with is very crucial since they will be following you all day. I highly recommend Stephanie Marie Photography and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!
Stephanie and Chris did an amazing job! They made us feel so special and really took the time to do everything we wanted. All of our pictures are light and beautiful and all of our...
poses seem natural and candid. We have over 800 beautiful pictures that we can all digitally download and remember every detail of our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible! Definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Cannot recommend them enough!
Steph and Chris were more than we could have ever imagined in a photographer! Their intentional efforts and professionalism from start to finish were incredible! They made us feel ...
so comfortable and confident in them capturing our perfect day! They made a special effort to really get to know us as a couple before our big day, which made it feel so natural the day of our wedding to have them around. They went above and beyond and gave plenty of options, but were never pushy and we always felt they had our best interest in mind. They made the entire experience from engagement photos to wedding day so fun and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them!
Stephanie photographed our wedding in 2016, and we could not wait to use her again for maternity photos! I had pregnancy complications and needed a shorter session within a certain...
driving distance and not a lot of walking. She was extremely easy to work with and gave us many options of locations that fit within our parameters. The session far exceeded our expectations! She put us at ease and made us feel like pros when really, we were far from it. Late pregnancy I felt not the most confident in my looks and I drove away thinking there is no way these photos would turn out well. We were blown away when we recieved our gallery and stephanie wad able to capture so many amazing shots to choose from. These are memories we will cherish forever. I was so happy we decided to do the session, and even happier to have Stephanie as our photographer. She is everything you would want in a photographer!
Stephanie is very talented! I’m a local vendor and I have worked with her on multiple weddings and images for myself. She is so kind and fun to be around. I highly recommend her to...
my brides!
As soon as we met with our photographers Stephanie and Chris, we knew we were going to choose them to photograph our wedding. We were clueless about almost everything, and they mad...
e us feel so comfortable with the process. They spent extra time with us during our engagement session to make sure they captured things beautifully, and we absolutely loved the images!!! I had a ton of questions leading up to our wedding day, and Stephanie was more than willing to talk through all the details with me. On our wedding day, Stephanie and Chris were so helpful, and did a great job making sure we got all the images we wanted! My husband also had not eaten before our first look, and when Stephanie went to go grab tissues for us, she also came out with food for him! So sweet and thoughtful!! We can’t wait to see the photos from our wedding day!
Stephanie Marie Photography could not have been more perfect for my husband and me. From the engagement photos until we received our final wedding album they made the process so in...
credible smooth. It was wonderful working with a husband and wife team. They made us feel so comfortable, made us laugh, and made us feel special. They were so knowledgeable and professional yet also relaxed and fun during our day. They were able to capture all of our favorite moments and freeze our best memories for a lifetime! Stephanie and Chris made our wedding day run so smooth and didn’t miss a single shot. For my husband and I, capturing some of the best photos was one of the most important aspects of our wedding along with a fun guest experience and Stephanie and Chris did not disappoint. Thanks to them we know how snapshots that will last a lifetime and tell the beautiful story of our day for generations to come.
Stephanie and Chris are wonderful to work with. They work so well together and make you feel so comfortable and relaxed during pictures. They are flexible and work with you and you...
r schedule.
All of their packages include engagement pictures which is great because you get to know each other and it makes it more comfortable on the wedding day to not have strangers taking your pictures. We loved all of our engagement pictures and knew we would love all of our wedding pictures as well.
They are very organized and will help keep your wedding day running smoothly. They help you make out a day of schedule and they go over all the picture combinations ahead of time so you get all the pictures you want. We are absolutely in love with all of our wedding pictures and are going to have a hard time narrowing down favorites!
I have to start by saying, there aren’t enough words to describe working with Stephanie and Chris! By far one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding! The process ...
was amazing and seamless from the get-go. Meeting them to discuss working together instantly helped us connect with them and feel comfortable with the partnership. They are a sweet, fun couple that goes with the flow during shooting and helped us feel much more comfortable in moments that can feel super awkward (think staring in each other’s eyes trying to feel romantic for a straight minute!). We had two mini engagement session with them which helped our build our relationship with them greatly and made the wedding day so much better. Our wedding day had it glitches with timing and running late (nothing to do with Stephanie and Chris of course!) and they helped us get in as many pictures in the time they had. We really felt they were trying to make sure we didn’t miss out on prime photo opportunities. Our wedding album turned out absolutely beautifully and we cannot wait to hang out wedding pictures up for decades to come.

easy to get along with and they are great at coaching for amazing shots. We were so impressed with our engagement photos and were even happier with our wedding pictures!! Stephanie and Chris traveled to Cleveland for our wedding and put up with a crazy schedule, a huge list of wanted photos, and our crazy families. :) They did an amazing job and we are so happy they were a part of our wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment - you will have these pictures your entire life, and if you choose Stephanie and Chris, know that it will be a good one.

r coffee. My husband and I were looking for two photographers and getting both Stephanie and Chris together was perfect! My husband really enjoyed having Chris with the guys for the first part of the day and we loved having Stephanie with us. Their organization and attention to detail really made our wedding day run smoothly. Their kind, thoughtful personalities and positive energy made us smile throughout the journey and really made us feel special. They captured so many amazing memories that we will cherish forever. We are truly grateful for their talent and for being a part of our special day!
I'm a member of The Martini Affair (a wedding band based out of Columbus, Ohio). We had the pleasure of performing at a wedding that Stephanie and Chris photographed. I was just ...
looking at the amazing work they did and it brought me back to that day last June - they did a wonderful job of capturing those moments! Super easy to work alongside, too, Highly recommended!
Choosing Stephanie Marie Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. Stephanie has amazing photography skills, but even more than that, she ha...
s fantastic people skills. She treats her couples as more than just clients by going the extra mile throughout the whole process.
From the moment we met her, we knew she would share in our vision and I have no doubt that other couples who meet her feel the same. The day of our wedding, she made my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. We received our engagement photos and wedding photos back in a short time and were both thrilled with the end result. Even our families were impressed with the dedication and care that Stephanie puts into her jobs.
Stephanie Marie Photography is a great business that I recommend to anyone I know, but the people behind the business are even better. If you meet Stephanie, you will know right away that she is going to do everything she can to make your wedding the best it can be and I promise you won't be disappointed!
Thanks so much Stephanie and Chris! Chris and I are so happy we found you guys!
We can't say enough good things about our experience with Chris and Stephanie! They were open to our Air Force base engagement session and absolutely knocked our photos out of the ...
park. Our wedding photos turned out just the way we wanted too. Both kept the wedding party (and families) organized and on time which was a BIG deal to me because I get anxiety when things aren't going to plan or schedule. Chris and Stephanie were creative in their approach of photos and so easy to work with throughout the whole process. I would recommend this husband and wife team to anyone! We can't thank them enough for providing the perfect memories for one of our favorite days!

They exceeded our expectations through it all and we cannot thank them enough for our beautiful photos that capture all the memories made during our big day!

eautiful!! we have so many pictures that are perfect that it is hard to choose our favorites! We had many people tell us that not only were Stephanie and Chris some of the most professional photographers they had interacted with at a wedding but that they had never seen anyone's wedding pictures turn out as great as ours! By far our best wedding vendor!!

photographers to capture the day and create memories to look back on. Stephanie and Chris captured our day perfectly. From day one, they were organized, friendly, professional and went out of their way to help us prepare for our day. They provided us with tools and guides that made us think about small details I would have never even thought of. They prepped hard so that during all the craziness that comes on a wedding day they didn't miss any of the details or photo opportunities that were important for us to have. Our photos came back right on time and were flawless - truly exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Stephanie Marie Photography to any bride or anyone looking to capture meaningful memories.
