Stephanie is an absolutely phenomenal photographer and person to work with. She beautifully captured both our engagement and our wedding day. We had numerous family photo requests and she handled them amazingly and captured so many special moments. She is exceptionally talented and my husband and I are so grateful for her beautiful photos of our wedding day.
Wow Wow Wow!!!! My husband and I can’t say enough great things about Stephanie! She is the best there is and we are so thankful we found her to capture our special day! From the first time we met Stephanie, we could tell how passionate she is about her profession. She will make your wedding day so amazing with her perfect timeline and bubbly personality! Throughout the planning process she was right by our side, helping us with anything we needed and every time we left a conversation with her, we left feeling even more excited. On the day of, she made us so comfortable and confident with everything going on around us! She helped make sure we were on time and heading to the right places and she was such a quick problem solver! After the wedding, we received so many sneak peek photos we couldn't believe it!!! She works so hard to make sure her couples have the best day filled with the best memories! We are forever thankful for Stephanie!!!
After a month of searching for the perfect photographer I found Stephanie on TikTok, her personality captured my attention, and loved her bright and airy photography style! From the moment we contacted her, she was organized, professional, and clearly experienced. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our engagement and wedding! She made us feel comfortable every step of the way, provided recommendations and direction which truly helped us relax and enjoy our special day. Her talent shone through in every shot, capturing the best moments beautifully. She was so helpful with directing everyone in our wedding party/family photos, especially with our wedding party of 16 people! Several friends and family members came up to me and asked where I found her! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated wedding photographer, you won't be disappointed! Her passion and love for photography is evident and we are so impressed with our wedding photos. Thank you so much!
Hiring Stephanie Parshall was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! From the first meeting with her I could see that she was organized, professional, and passionate about what she does. You can just tell she LOVES photographing love! Throughout the planning process we had a few meetings to go over timelines and other details, and she was always available for any additional help. On the wedding day she exuded calm and joy, and was prepared for anything. She got us a preview of her favorites the next week, and it was amazing to have those so early. Her photos are gorgeous, making it difficult to pick favorites to print and put include in our album! She got every single shot, and took so many great candids that we’ll treasure for years to come. Couldn’t be happier with our pictures and the whole experience of working with Stephanie!
Using Stephanie for our wedding photographer is one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. From the initial video call to the wedding day itself she was phenomenal and so kind. She helped us schedule our timeline and was accessible throughout the whole wedding process. We got married this past Saturday, July 13th and it was so hot and humid and Stephanie and her second shooter Nicole worked so hard to take incredible photos while keeping us cool and hydrated! You can tell that this is her passion and she loves what she does. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed. We got sneak peeks back yesterday, not even 24 hours after our wedding! We are so in love with our photos and I could go on and on about how incredible of a person Stephanie is. We were so thankful to have her shoot our wedding!
Stephanie was phenomenal to work with! She made our engagement pictures feel so fun and effortless. Our wedding day went so smoothly, all thanks to her and her organization! She truly had everything thought of and accounted for. She’s not only a fantastic photographer, but an amazing human as well. She was so easy to work with, so kind and thoughtful and truly took the time to understand what was most important to my husband and I on our special day. I would 1000% recommend Stephanie!
Flashback to 2021. I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a video from Stephanie talking about wedding photography. She seemed so fun and positive in that video, I decided to watch a few of her others and check out her work. I was not even engaged at the time and I knew right then and there I wanted Stephanie to capture my future wedding. If this doesn’t speak to how incredible her photos are and how great her personality is, I don’t know what does!
After getting engaged, I was so excited to be able to finally hire her! From the first interaction to the very last, it was clear that Stephanie wanted to capture our day perfectly and I knew I had made the right decision.
During the pre-wedding timeframe, she was readily available for any questions or concerns I had. She checked in frequently (but not too frequently!) to make sure everything was falling into place, especially with the timeline! She also checked in as a friend leading up to the day, to make sure we were remembering to enjoy the process and enjoy being engaged! I think this time spent really getting to know us as a couple ahead of time translated into the perfect pictures.
Day of the wedding — I could write a whole novel. I don’t know how someone can manage to be so present and capture every single picture we could have wanted, while being so in the background at the same time, but Stephanie did just this. We received 1400+ pictures back and we cherish every single one of them. In one of our planning meetings leading up to the wedding day, she asked us to list a few special people that we wanted her to be sure to capture at all stages of the day. We both immediately knew these special people were our grandparents. The photos she captured of our grandparents talking with family, smiling, enjoying the day, and even dancing are one of a kind and something we will hold close to our hearts forever.
People told me leading up to the wedding that “you spend so much money on pictures you will look at once and never again”. Here we are, 10 months later and I have looked at the pictures more times than I can count. The beautiful photos are hanging throughout our house and they are the first thing guests compliment when they come over. Stephanie will still occasionally post snippets from our wedding day on her social media with the sweetest captions and tag us. It is such a small thing, but truly brightens our day every time we see it come across and it just reinforces that we made the right decision hiring her. We absolutely love her and cannot recommend her enough!
Stephanie was exceptional in communicating with us throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting to discussing our vision and preferences, she was attentive, responsive, and eager to understand what was important to us. Stephanie provided valuable insights and suggestions while respecting our wishes, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
In conclusion, Stephanie is not just a photographer; she is a true artist who goes above and beyond to document the magic of weddings. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Stephanie is the one!! We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented, professional, and personable photographer for their special day.
Stephanie was absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend her enough. I made the mistake when planning my wedding of not hiring a planner and trying to do everything myself, which I don't think I would have even been able to pull off without Stephanie. She is extremely organized and has endless helpful resources in all aspects of wedding planning. My day-of coordinator from the venue was disappointing but Stephanie was on top of the schedule and keeping things moving. I can be a ball of anxiety and she was consistently reassuring and calming. She was great at herding my family for pictures, navigating the not-so-great weather, and being patient during all the craziness. Apart from her being an all around amazing person, her photography skills are top notch. I have the most extraordinary pictures of my wedding day thanks to her and consistently am told from friends and family how unbelievable my photographer and pictures are. She makes it extremely easy to access your pictures and share them. Her online platform is very helpful. She clearly works very hard and is passionate about photography and weddings. I have never seen someone more organized. My husband and I, but especially him, can be very awkward behind a camera and Stephanie did the perfect amount of posing but at the same time making us look natural and not forced at all. You will definitely not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to have Stephanie as your photographer!
Stephanie is the most amazing photographer. You can tell from the moment you meet her that she loves what she does. She brings the best out of you during the photos. All her photos turn out amazing. She will capture your big day and all the moments for you to remember ! I highly recommend Stephanie! You will not regret it!
Words cannot describe how appreciative we are of Stephanie!! She is the best wedding photographer in Michigan, hands down. Her personality delightful, her crowd-management trustworthy, her schedule dependable, her pictures sublime.
Stephanie captured jaw-dropping shots from each milestone of our day, from a verdant first look to the timeless twirls of our first dance and beyond. She also accomplished our personal request to photograph subgroups of our guests after the ceremony, doing so with efficiency at no sacrifice of quality. Finally, it must be noted we did have some family members who were difficult to wrangle at various points in the photographic process, and Stephanie handled them with firmness, tact, and guiding sensitivity, so that the Bride did not have to on her wedding day. In these moments, we truly knew Stephanie was invaluable to making our day a success, and was worth double her reasonable rate.
From the bottom of our hearts: Look no further, Stephanie is the gem for your wedding-day crown.
Working with Stephanie was an absolute DREAM! Both our engagement and wedding photos were spectacular and everything we hoped for ❤️ Not only that, but Stephanie always knew what to do when we didn’t! She helped us build a timeline for a wedding day and ensured we stuck to it when the big day came. Stephanie is so organized and goes above and beyond what I expected from my wedding photographer. We love her! She’s so much fun, and working with her was one of our best decisions! 10/10 would recommend!
Stephanie, our wedding photographer, deserves nothing short of a glowing review for her exceptional work. From the moment we received her message, our hearts swelled with joy. It was as though she managed to encapsulate the magic of our wedding day all over again. The attention to detail, the artistry in every shot, and the way she managed to freeze in time the pure, unadulterated joy we felt – it's nothing short of extraordinary.
Her kind words about our wedding being amazing resonated deeply with us. They were not just compliments; they were a reflection of the artistry she brought to our day. She didn't just capture moments; she immortalized the very essence of our happiness.
The experience of working with Stephanie was nothing short of exceptional. Her passion, her infectious enthusiasm, and her welcoming personality turned what could have been a nerve-wracking process into a delightful journey. We found ourselves not just posing for a camera, but truly enjoying every moment, and that is a testament to her remarkable skill as a photographer.
These photos are more than images; they are memories in their purest form. They are the threads that bind the tapestry of our wedding day, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Her work will hang on our walls, tucked into our albums, and will undoubtedly be cherished for generations to come.
Stephanie, your artistry has given us a treasure trove of memories, and your warmth has earned you a permanent place in our hearts. Thank you for being an integral part of our special day!
Choosing Stephanie as our wedding photographer was the best decision we could have made! She is so down to earth and fun to work with. Stephanie is always so responsive via email or text and willing to answer any possible question you could have regarding your wedding. She arrived early to the venue on the wedding day and immediately knew where she was going to start taking the detail pictures. From there on it was such a smooth and fun process working with her! She would always ask for my opinion on how I would like a certain picture to be taken, but I was always fully confident that whatever she recommended was going to be perfect. She has such a great eye for photos and is so professional, I could not have picked anybody better. Our wedding party and close family were very impressed with how good she was at directing everybody for poses during pictures and putting everybody at ease. I was also amazed how she was able to capture pictures of nearly all of our guests at one point or another and that was a nice treat when viewing our gallery. She does such a great job with delivering finished photos in a timely manner, for the engagement session as well as the wedding. Her work is amazing and continues to take my breath away with every picture I see. I'm so thankful for the beautiful memories to look back on thanks to her and I can only hope we will get the chance to work with her again in the future!
I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She was phenomenal from the day we booked her. She is very organized and so personable. She cares about her couples in every way. We knew we wanted bright and airy photos since we were having a beach ceremony and she captured it perfectly. She did a great job at keeping us all on schedule during the day too.
Having Stephanie as my photographer was the best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning. I knew from our engagement session that she was going to be everything I wanted in a photographer. I received multiple compliments throughout my wedding day from my bridal party and guests just how amazing Stephanie is. She’s extremely professional but so funny at the same time. She knows exactly how to pose you and was directing us in so many different poses making sure we got the perfect shot. I love that about her! She was a blast to work with! Her confidence and experience made my wedding day a breeze.
Stephanie was WONDERFUL to work with from the moment we reached out to her all the way to after the wedding had ended. She was very professional yet seemed like your best friend all wrapped in one. She made us feel so comfortable from our very first engagement session to all our meetings in between and lastly on our wedding day. She kept everything moving smoothly and made sure our special day went just as we planned. She is a terrific listener and also so fun and energetic at the same time! I would have Stephanie photograph our wedding every. single. Time. You will not be disappointed! The quality of her work is just magnificent. 15/10 would recommend!
Stephanie is seriously the best photographer I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with in my life! She is organized, thorough, and has a plan for everything. She curated an amazing timeline for me for the day of and was so helpful throughout the planning process, including sending blogs and tips she has posted on her amazing website. She was more than a photographer the day of and I was so grateful for how efficient she made everything on my wedding day! Her photos are so beautiful and she truly is amazing at what she does. I cannot recommend her enough!
Stephanie is honestly the best! If you are looking for a photographer who is very knowledgable, clearly experienced, organized, and will remember even the little things, book her now!! She even brought a card for me to give to my groom with his gift on the day of - something I completely forgot about. She also got some pictures/sneak peaks out for us literally the next day after our wedding! And a whole blog post of more than 50 images only 2 business days after our wedding. They are all stunning and I can't wait to see our full gallery. I seriously cannot recommend her enough! She is very professional, organized, and calm which is what we needed on our day.
Stephanie was AMAZING!! She went above and beyond her duties as our photographer to make our day the ABSOLUTE best day of our lives. Obviously if you've seen her work, you know that her photography skills are exceptional. She has a great eye that helped capture our love on camera better than we could have ever hoped. More than that, though, she made us feel so comfortable and really helped us have so much fun taking our pictures which I believe is also reflected in our photos. Our pictures show us laughing and captured our natural smiles because we really were laughing and having a great time. Stephanie also was exceptionally professional and organized throughout the planning process. She made it so easy for us and took so much off of our plate by helping to develop a thorough timeline on the big day. In addition, she went out of her way to coordinate with our wedding planner and videographer to make sure everyone was on the same page. I would recommend Stephanie to absolutely anyone looking for an incredibly talented, kind, and FUN photographer. We absolutely LOVED working with her, and feel like we gained a friend at the end of all of this. Please hire Steph! You won't regret it.
No words I say will even do her justice! Stephanie did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding on 8/13/22. From our first conversation to our last she has been professional, kind, honest, and organized.
Her photos are light and bright with a happy feel. I LOVE our wedding photos! we got a sneak peek the day after our wedding and a blog post by Stephanie 3 days after the wedding with about 100 edited pictures! I LOVED this because I was so excited to look back at the day and I didn't want to wait!
Also, it rained the WHOLE wedding day. Stephanie came prepared for the rain with places planned for pictures and with clear umbrellas for us to take pictures in.
Everyone of our family and friends told me how kind she was and how great she was at getting our LARGE family photos. She was the perfect fit for us and I would recommend her 100000000X.
Thank you Stephanie for helping to capture our amazing and rainy day
Stephanie was amazing from the beginning to the end. Starting with our engagement session she made the best calls as it began to rain during it and the outcome were stunning. Before the wedding day she was always happy to answer questions, hop on calls and was super communicative and prompt with ourselves, our wedding coordinator and anyone else we asked her to speak to. Once Stephanie got to California she was so helpful in photographing our welcome event the day before our wedding. On the wedding day she was early, ready to go and did not miss a beat, or a special moment. We got married in over 100 degree weather in direct sunlight, and she moved us so quickly and got everyone through the day with ease. Once we received our gallery we could not have been happier with how our photos turned out. I cannot rave enough about her skill set, photographs, professionalism, communication and overall amazement of all the things she captured leading up and on our wedding day. Thank you Stephanie for the incredible job you did.
We can’t say enough great things about Stephanie. From the initial meeting all the way through the final gallery delivery, she has been professional, understanding, and one step ahead of anything that could arise. The quality and creativeness of her style is tremendous, and she was always super flexible when it came to scheduling or shooting. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the area.
If you need a sign to hire Stephanie as your wedding photographer, here it is. You can discontinue your endless wedding photographer internet search because you have found the best of the best.
While Stephanie lists herself as a wedding photographer, she is being incredibly humble because she provides SO much more than just standing behind a camera and capturing images of your big day. She singlehandedly created our day-of timeline which was immensely helpful in planning/navigating every detail of the day. Stephanie also has a fanny pack that she totes around with her and whenever anyone needed something, she somehow had it at the ready. I think it may have been bottomless and fueled by magic.
We first met Stephanie on Zoom for a coffee date to get to know one another and to discuss our engagement, love story, and rapidly approaching wedding date. During this meeting I discretely wrote a note to my fiancé that read, “LOVE her. OK to hire?” and he immediately agreed. Stephanie encouraged us to take our time considering her as an option and we did not need to take a second longer. We knew Stephanie was the perfect fit for our wedding photographer. She also agreed to an engagement session on lake Michigan in single-digit temperatures, which we so appreciated considering she publicly dislikes freezing temperatures.
Now that you know how amazing Stephanie is as a human, let’s discuss her craft: photography. Our wedding day was the greatest day of our lives for so many reasons. The day went by in the blink of an eye, which was really sad for us. Luckily Stephanie was not around to shoot me actively sobbing in the bridal suite once the reception was over. We did not want the day to end. Three days after the wedding Stephanie sent us our blog post. THREE. DAYS. We were both so sucked into the photos and the day all over again. So much so that we forgot we were on our honeymoon. Fast forward to less than three weeks after the wedding and our full gallery was ready to go. We are beyond obsessed with the photographs and have so enjoyed reliving our big day through them.
No one prepared me for how sad I would be when our photography time ended. When Stephanie came up to say goodbye, I reminder thinking, “that’s it?”. My husband and I are trying to figure out ways to keep her around moving forward. Open to suggestions of what we can have photographed.
Thank you SO much, Stephanie! For your time, art, skill, attention to detail, advice, humor, guidance, and the epic pep talk for the groom while he was really not keeping it together before the first look! You made our big day run so smoothly and we appreciate you very much! <3
Stephanie is incredible!!! We found her on TikTok and were beyond thrilled when we were able to book her for our wedding. As anyone can tell from her website, the photos and editing are beautiful. We now have so many amazing engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding photos it’s hard to even choose a few favorites.
Beyond that she is an absolute delight to work with. She has so much knowledge about weddings and so many great tips, and went above and beyond in so many ways (including fixing my dress strap when I got overwhelmed with trying to fix it myself). She was fantastic with all communication beforehand, including timeline planning, and after.
We had a very small guest list, and she was able to fit in with everyone so well. The only way you would guess she wasn’t just part of the family/ close friends invited (aside from incredible photography skills) is that she could actually coordinate everyone (and everything!) perfectly, especially as we had some hiccups in the day. All of our guests cannot stop talking about how awesome she was as a person and how great the photos are.
I would 100% recommend Stephanie for your wedding, and can’t wait to book her again myself next time I need any photos taken.
We found Stephanie on tik tok and we were slightly obcessed. From the tips that she shared to her beautiful photography we knew we wanted to use her for our wedding. I (micaela) actually got Stephanie to photograph my proposal to Kylie! She was so accommodating responding to my hundreds of emails, and even helped find a second location when the first one was no longer there. Fast forward to amazing engagement photos in Chicago, and several zoom conversations regarding timeline (hello planning and organizing queen Stephanie !!)and it was finally our wedding day. Well actually rehearsal. She helped choreograph how our bridal party should enter and made sure we ran it enough times to get it perfect. The day of the wedding, she showed up so early, took thousands of beautiful photographs and made sure the whole day ran smoothly. Stephanie even helped kylie and I fix a minor seating chart issue. She went above and beyond in every way, and our families could not stop commenting about how great of a photographer she was! We will always be so thankful that we found Stephanie and cannot wait for the next time we need photos taken!
Working with Stephanie for my wedding was the best decision I could have made! She is so professional, talented, and fun to be around! During our engagement photos she taught us poses and tips that helped so much on our wedding day (even though I was convinced I wouldn't remember them). She makes being in front of the camera so comfortable even for someone who usually isn't. Our wedding party could not stop telling us how much they enjoyed her as well! From the moment she arrived on our wedding day she was on point with the timeline but was also so helpful when needed - like sending my entire wedding party to get on the bus while we secretly did our first look because I didn't want anyone to watch. Her work speaks for itself but I will say that her photos are absolutely incredible. She has such an eye for photos and her bright and airy style is everything I could have dreamed of. She knew what my husband and I liked and made sure to keep that in mind the entire time we were taking photos. In addition to her photography skills, she goes above and beyond to make sure you are well prepared for your wedding day, and also became my go to person during the entire weekend when I needed advice on little details. I am seriously so thankful for Stephanie and I hope I get the chance to work with her again in the future!
Working with Stephanie made our whole wedding planning process seem so much easier. Not only was she an awesome photographer to work with, she was so involved and ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly. I was so relaxed the day of the wedding and never even knew what time it was because Stephanie made sure I was where I needed to be according to our itinerary (that she made!) All of this on top of beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever! We've gotten so many compliments on Stephanie. From bridesmaids who picked up on her ability to take charge of the schedule still while making things light and fun. And from family and friends, who were stunned by how our photos turned out and loved the ability to look through our shared album. We're forever grateful for you Stephanie! Thank you again :)
Stephanie was wonderful to work with. We are very happy with how our photos turned out. She was very in tune with what we needed on our wedding day and helped us get time away together to get photos just the two of us.
Updating to add - her communication was very lacking after our wedding. Took 9 months to get our wedding album, sometimes with us sending two or three emails before getting a response. Pretty frustrating. She did eventually respond and apologize saying there was a glitch with her email. But now we have reached out again twice with no response as we have an issue with our album warping (not anything that is her fault, we were just hoping to get contact info for the publisher to see if there was anything they could do for us)
Stephanie made both our engagement photos and elopement photos amazing! We made some changes for both sessions and she was so flexible and willing to find us the right spots. She is fun and energetic to work with and made the posing easy. Her pricing is very affordable and the pictures all turned out wonderful! We loved working with her and would defiantly work with her in the future on any photograph needs we may have. Thank you Stephanie for making our photo dreams come true!
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Stephanie!!! I booked her last minute when our original photographer fell through. She traveled to our wedding in Southgate, MI and she exceeded expectations!! Her bright, joyful style is exactly what I wanted in our wedding photos. I love how she shared some of our photos on social media and posted to her blog with even more sneak peek photos just 4 days after the wedding. The second shooter she brought with her was amazing as well. I am OBSESSED with how the photos turned out and I can't wait to see the rest of them. Stephanie also did a great job directing family members on where to go in photos, how to stand, who needed to be where, and keeping everyone wrangled up so we could breeze through photos. She also did a great job keeping the rowdy groomsmen under control to get some awesome pictures of them. Thank you so much Stephanie!!!
Stephanie takes awesome photos! We were so happy with what we received after our wedding. She was also very helpful throughout the whole process of planning the wedding.
Stephanie does a great job with her work and with communicating with the couple. I loved that she listened to me as the bride but also to my husband as the groom. She is detailed oriented and does a great job of helping everyone stay calm the day of. Stephanie got us our photos back in a timely manner. She was great to work with from the beginning. She was quick to respond to emails and any questions I had. She is always looking for feedback too which is awesome to understand what every bride and groom want. She is always improving and adjusting to each individual. I love how approachable Stephanie is and how much stress relief she gave me on my big day!
It’s hard to even put into words how excellent it was working with Stephanie...From start to finish, she was always responsive to emails and texts, and was willing to meet up in person (pre-COVID) or video chat whenever we had questions or wanted to chat. The free engagement session was incredible and allowed my very shy hubby to open up and feel comfortable in front of the camera in preparation for our wedding day! Stephanie not only is so talented at taking and editing photos, she makes the overall experience so much more relaxed and enjoyable. When COVID caused us to move our wedding date, we were horrified for many reasons, but Stephanie provided many resources, guides, and the reassurance that we needed to continue to enjoy the process leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, Stephanie was early to take pictures of our details and already had spots planned out for all of our different photo combinations. As a very anxious bride, there was no one better to have there moving the day along so well. Our bridal party was in awe of how easy posing for pictures was because Stephanie directed them so well. The posing for everyone seemed effortless and smooth with Stephanie’s guidance. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same or have been as relaxed as it was without Stephanie. There truly is no one better and your photos will turn out AMAZING. Also, it is pretty amazing to see our photos from our wedding on her Instagram and Facebook pages, as well as all of the other couples she has photographed! She creates a fun, bright, and exciting community on all of her social media for anyone to be apart of (who wouldn’t love that?) Simply put, we 110% recommend Stephanie Parshall Photography to anyone!
Two words - Hire Stephanie!!! One look at Stephanie's galleries and I was dreaming of a future photo session - her photos are GORGEOUS. My wish came true earlier this fall and I cannot thank Stephanie enough for the gift she gave my boyfriend and I. Not only were the photos absolutely beautiful, but Stephanie's kindness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made the entire experience even more wonderful. The session is a memory I will not forget, and her photos encapsulate us perfectly. Thank you, Stephanie, for the gift of gorgeous photos and beautiful memories that we can look back on our entire lives. If you're looking for a photographer for your session, engagement, or wedding, look no further! Stephanie is incredible!!
Theres no way to truly describe how incredible Stephanie is, shes professional, kind, funny, and an amazing photographer. here is a bit of our story and how she turned a bad situation into an amazing experience.
We have been through hell and back with our wedding. Our originally date was in July but my sister died on our wedding day so we had to move it and due to scheduling conflicts, had to find another photographer in a pinch. Through connections my Aunt found Stephanie and I could not have been happier with our experience. She was so kind and understanding. She made us laugh and just brought joy to the entire day. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it downpoured all day so we had to move it inside. Which I did not want to do obviously, but Stephanie made the best of it and the pictures she took were better then I ever could have imagined. They were so bright and happy and she brought out our genuine smiles in all her photos. She is extremely organized and the gallery you get with all your photos is seperated by each part of the day (getting ready, first look, bridal party photos, ceremony, reception, etc). She got our photos back to us in just 4 weeks! For around 650 photos! And all of them were perfect.
All in all I would highly recommend Stephanie Parshall to anyone and everyone.
Stephanie was hands down the best person we worked with throughout our entire wedding and planning process. I can't even count the amount of compliments we have received from our friends and family on Stephanie herself and the work she did for our wedding; she was the most complimented vendor we had! She goes beyond an absolutely phenomenal photographer, she is a great resource for all things wedding related, and she is SO hands on with ensuring everything leading up to and on the big day goes exactly as you planned. Stephanie is truly a beautiful soul and the amount of passion she has just pours out of her work; she has a way of making you feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and knows exactly how to create picture perfect moments. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and I will be forever grateful we chose Stephanie to capture those most important moments in our life!
From the moment I met Stephanie I knew instantly that she was the photographer for our wedding! Stephanie’s sweet snd friendly personality and attention to detail made her unique. She first wanted to know all about us and our story. She took the time to discover the dreams and visions of our wedding day. I told her of some of the pictures that were important to us and she assured me that she would capture those moments with ease and she did! Stephanie worked efficiently and effectively on our wedding day. We had a sneak peek of some of our pictures to us the next day to view. Her website was very easy to use and in a short time we had the whole gallery of pictures to view and share with family and friends! Stephanie has a gift and talent to capture one of the most important times in someones life. I feel so blessed that we found Stephanie! She made our wedding day complete. We will be able to cherish our memories forever with her photography! Thank you Stephanie for being a part of our wedding day!
Stephanie was amazing from our first meeting with her to our wedding reception. She went above and beyond to photograph our family portraits, reception, engagement photos, etc... I am so thankful and grateful she was able to photograph Don and I. She is very professional, organized, collected, and has lots of great content created by her for everyone planning the wedding. Thank you so much!!
I chose Stephanie seemingly at random from within The Knot planning app, I liked the look of her website and her work; we set up a meeting to get to know one another and from that first meeting I was completely sold, I knew that with Stephanie as our photographer we would have nothing but beautiful photos! Photography was something that was extremely important to us both but sometimes my fiancé is a hard sell, he is overly skeptical and in his own words “unphotogenic”. At my insistence we booked Stephanie and did our engagement session with her. Our session could not have been more fun and relaxing. Stephanie’s constant coaching and posing tips made us feel at ease and it absolutely showed in our finished pictures. After we received our engagement photos, we both had complete confidence in Stephanie and her work. Stephanie was involved in many steps of our planning process, met with us often and was always just an e-mail away should I have questions or concerns. Stephanie built the timeline for our wedding day and she did everything in her power to keep us to it; we received many compliments that our wedding ran on schedule and that was all thanks to Stephanie, she kept the bridal party in line and things moving forward which I knew would be a difficult task as many of our party are easily distractible. Stephanie is extremely detail oriented and professional but at the same time fun and easy going, her laughter and smiles as she is shooting make you feel like you are working with a friend, not someone who is over serious, she is no nonsense at times but it is definitely needed, especially on the wedding day. Another major highlight for us was Stephanie’s flexibility and willingness to go outside of the box, my fiancé and are adventurous people who like things done a little different than is typically traditional; Stephanie was all for our wild ideas and made them all look great! Stephanie is an exceptionally gifted photographer and a complete joy to work with. We will certainly be contacting her in the future for all of our photography needs, we feel like we didn’t just meet a photographer, we met a friend!
Where do I begin when recommending Stephanie Parshall?? From the moment we met (at Starbucks in Kalamazoo), my fiance and I loved her! She was bright, organized and SOOOOO interested in "our" story. She loves love! Stephanie's talents were evident from her website and through the photos she shared during our Starbucks date - but were absolutely undeniable during our engagement shoot. She was fun, made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camer and truly captured our love, our love spirit. Flash forward to our wedding day - again, Stephanie hit our look and feel right on the head. She even photographed my bouquet with a photo of my late mother and me. That photo is one of my most favorite - and it's just something she did because it felt right and she was tuned into us. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
She is truly the BEST! I first hired Stephanie for new business head shots and she was pure magic. She made me feel absolutely gorgeous and comfortable in front of the camera. I’ve hired her multiple times since and of course had to have her for my wedding day! She is an irreplaceable member of your wedding team and the memories she captured on our big day are truly art. Everyone raves about our fairytale wedding after seeing our photos. She will always go above and beyond her duties as a photographer to support you in ways you don’t always know you need. She braved the polar vortex and rode on a ski lift for the first time to capture epic shots that I cherish. She has become my go to photographer for every life event and I can’t recommend her enough. Hurry and book her, you’ll be happy you did!
Stephanie is an amazing wedding photographer!! She helped my wife and I though the entire process. As part of our package, Stephanie came to Pittsburgh to shoot our engagement session and the pictures came out amazing. She was always available for questions and was a great support system for us. The turn around time for the wedding pictures was super fast and they all were fantastic! There were some pictures that were added that we had no idea happened at the wedding, but were so grateful for Stephanie to capture those once in a lifetime moments. Overall, Stephanie is an amazing person and an extremely talented photographer!! I can, without hesitation, recommend Stephanie for all you photography needs!
Stephanie did a great job for our wedding. She is very professional and does a great job in all fields of her work. Would recommend her for any of your events
Our wedding experience with Stephanie far surpassed our expectations! She was so friendly and accommodating, she even offered suggestions on hair stylists and things to do in the area as we live 6+ hours from where we were married. We have 4 children and she was amazing with them and rolled our rambunctious crew. Stephanie even came up with an impromptu challenge to keep them occupied so she could take some shots of just my husband and I! The photos that she took of us took my breath away! I felt like I was looking in a wedding magazine, but wait… that’s ME! The only tough part?... trying to find which photos I love the most!! Thank you so so much for everything Stephanie!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She is the most talented photographer I have ever worked with! Her organization throughout our wedding planning process was AMAZING! Her day-of preparedness made the day perfect! In fact she was so prepared that we ended up finishing pre-ceremony early!! Stephanie’s personality is bubbly, fun, confident and absolutely everything you want in a photographer for any special occasion in your life! You will not regret choosing Stephanie to capture your special day!
Stephanie goes above and beyond in everything you tell her to do. She is always up for any challenge and does it with grace. On our wedding day, it was 25 degrees and raining. She made our wedding pictures look like it was 80 degrees and sunny! Personally, I never think I look good in photos and I am very hard on myself, except through our couples pictures, our engagement session and our wedding photos that Stephanie has taken, I have never felt more beautiful. She gets to know her clients and sets out to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, because she has got everything under control always!! I almost had a melt down when I was putting on my wedding dress because I couldn't get the tape to stick to my skin to help hold my dress up and Stephanie saved the day! Out of all the people that tried to fix it, Stephanie was the one that got it to stick and I couldn't be more thankful. She truly made our wedding day the best by being extremely organized, bubbly, and in charge! Her photos are breathtaking and I can never stop telling her how awesome she is.
Stephanie is a wonderful photographer and person. She took the time to make our wedding and planning for our wedding fantastic. She really made it personal and that was not only important to us but critical to our mental well being in our few months of planning and organized chaos the day of. She went above and beyond what we had agreed on and expected and we couldn't be happier. We are truly thankful and would bend over backwards to recommend her to anyone thinking of hiring a photographer. She is very professional and organized and it shows in her work. Thank you Stephanie!!!
Stephanie is the best of the best! Simply amazing she is not only your photographer but she also helps you to plan out the day of your wedding and makes sure everything goes as planned. She will work with everyone apart of your special day from the pastor, DJ, cater, etc so everyone knows their role. She makes sure to have meetings with you either in person on online/ over the phone so that way your special day is to your liking. The photos are also amazing and worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend her you will not be disappointed.
First off let me start by saying I wouldn't of had anyone else photograph our wedding! Stephanie did such a great job from beginning to end and even in the weeks prior to the wedding. We have used Stephanie for our couple pictures, engagement session, and now as our wedding photographer and each time she went above and beyond. For our wedding day, Stephanie was prepared with a timeline to which she followed to the T just as planned! Which made everything flow and turned out better than I could of imagined. Stephanie also has this way about her that even if you've never met her you'd feel comfortable with her taking your picture. Stephanie's very professional but also knows how to have fun in order to get the perfect shot! I can't express how thankful we are and by the way our pictures turned out amazing!!
Stephanie exceeds all expectations. She’s not only friendly and happy but helps bring you out of your shell. You won’t find a better photographer anywhere else! Take my word for it! She’s 5 stars hands down!
I am so glad that Stephanie was able to do our wedding photos. She was beyond helpful with not only the photos but answering questions that came up about the wedding ceremony and reception. She was my blessing through the whole process especially for this do-it-yourself bride. She was able to keep me calm, cool and collected. She made us feel comfortable in every setting like we were the only ones there. She was also able to get my groom to smile which is not easy when a camera is around. I love that she was able to get along with the multiple personalities with in our group and keep my two year olds attention! At the end of the day we gained a friend not just a photographer. Stephanie will always be my first recommendation you can tell she puts her heart and sole into everything she does! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Talk about going above and beyond, she is fantastic. During the planning period, the engagement shoot, the wedding day, the delivery of photos etc.. she gave so much more than expected and we genuinely became great friends.... In the lead up to the wedding and on the day I feel like Stephanie was the rock, she was the one who knew everything about the day and timeline of events and how it would all go, which was comforting when things can get stressed. She also gave us great advice when we needed it. We couldn’t be happier with the photos we have, I think Stephanie captured the vibe of the day which was love and fun!
The photos speak for themselves, but more importantly to us is how easy it was to work with Stephanie! She has a great eye and was able to quickly pose us with ease. Not only was she able to get all the photos we requested, she did so ahead of schedule, making ours possibly the first reception ever to start early! She was so much more then a photographer for us as she helped us through every aspect of our big day!
I met Stephanie for the first time during my maternity photos. She was so full of energy and bright smiles. Along the way she took our engagement photos and then wedding photos. During the wedding she was punctual! She was very fast and efficient to get all the family photos and keep everyone organized. I love Stephanie Parshall. She is more than just a photographer to me! She is a friend! She is great with positioning and talking you through the poses. She captured all the beautiful moments in my wedding. Trust me when I say you want Stephanie to be your photographer. You will not be disappointed. She has a way with weddings and taking photos where you feel like a Star!!
Absolutely wonderful! The photos of my wedding were everything I could have asked for and more. Not only did she take the best photos, but she was really there for you as a bride and human. Every time I felt a little stressed about something she assured me everything was going to be okay and went that extra mile to help me in anyway! I 100% recommend Stephanie for any event! I will definitely be using her again!
I don't think I can ever say enough about Stephanie and her business. I picked her because she photographed my sister's wedding the summer before and the photos she took were so gorgeous that I had to have her for mine. From the very first meeting and our engagement shoot until we got the final proofs from our wedding, Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with. No one knows what the hell they are doing when they first start planning a wedding, and Stephanie was there to calm me down and talk about all the nerves. She helped my husband and I feel at ease at the engagement shoot and soon it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend that complimented us a bunch. We live in Chicago, so when we couldn't meet in person, Stephanie set up Skype meetings so she could talk me down off the ledge when I was getting ready to call the whole thing off and elope. When the Big Day finally arrived, Stephanie was my rock the whole day. She helped herd our (rather large) family into group photos and rolled with all the million configurations of groups all with a giant smile on her face. She made absolutely sure that my new husband and I had quiet moments to sneak away and just be together, which I didn't even know I wanted and was soooooo appreciated. She captured every moment of our day in breathtaking, editorial-grade photos and made me and my husband feel like rockstars the whole time. She has made a lifetime customer with me and she will be the first person I call when we start making babies. Book her for your wedding. Book her for your family shoots. Book her for the boudoir shoots. Book her for babies. Give this woman work! She is a powerhouse and amazing at her craft, and you will never regret working with her.
There are not enough words to say how incredible Stephanie is. Our journey for our wedding photographer started a bit rough. We had hired someone else who was less than impressive and acted as if we were just a paycheck. That’s when we knew we had to find someone else. Luckily we came across Stephanie’s page and set up a meeting. From our first meeting we knew we wouldn’t find anyone better for us and our day. Stephanie made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She not only answered all of our questions, but took notes and asked us questions as well. It didn’t feel like a business transaction it felt like friends getting together over some coffee and sharing details about our special day. Next was our engagement session, which from our experience before I was very nervous about. However in true Stephanie form, she was able to make those nerves go away. She had us laughing, she learned what our insecurities were in front of the camera and was able to make it feel so comfortable for us. Not only did Stephanie go above on beyond with reaching out to us several times before the wedding, but she was a lifesaver at rehearsal. We feel like with out her there no one would know what they were doing. On our wedding day she was there every step of the way. Helping the guys with boutonnieres, making sure we all were fed and hydrated, going the extra mile and making sure everything was perfect. Capturing all the big moments and getting the details of the small things you wouldn’t imagine anyone could capture. She was also able to provide us our full gallery early, in less than a month after our wedding! If her pictures aren’t enough proof how truly talented she is take it from us when we say you will not find a photographer who is more professional, kind, friendly, personable, honest, and truly amazing than Stephanie.
Stephanie is astonishingly creative and always up for trying new, different ideas. She truly loves what she does and that passion is reflected in her photos. Stephanie’s passion really shows in her photography. I could not be happier that we get to cherish our amazing wedding photos, taken by Stephanie, forever!
Stephanie truly is a one-of-a-kind photographer. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple as well as your needs/wants regarding your special day. She stays in contact throughout the process before, during, and after the wedding. She is creative and fun, personable and supportive. We felt so comfortable in front of her camera! Both our families and the entire wedding party commented on how efficient, professional, and wonderful she was! (and we had a LOT of family and a LARGE wedding party)! We would recommend her services to everyone! Thank you, Stephanie!
