Stephanie Smith Photography was one of the most spectacular vendors! From the minute we met with her, we knew that she was exactly who we wanted to capture our special day. She lis...

tened, gave good ideas and feedback, and was priced well for the number of hours we were looking for. Throughout the wedding process, Steph was willing to help answer questions about the wedding day process and help us consider special moments we wanted to capture; like group photos, entrances, and our photo lounge! We had several engagement sessions with her and building rapport made it so much easier for us on our wedding day. We are too awkward camera people and felt so comfortable on the day of our wedding. On our wedding day, Steph kept things very stress-free and captured some of the most amazing photos that will cherish for a lifetime! We could not be more thrilled with the final product and have had multiple comments on submitting them to a wedding magazine. We would highly recommend other couples consider using Stephanie Smith Photography for their special day. You will amazed with her ability to capture light and create some really stunning photos!

oyable. Not only were the photos absolutely stunning, she brought out my daughter’s personality in every picture. The entire session was relaxed and comfortable. There was no pressure whatsoever. My daughter is very shy and reserved. Stephanie was able to bring her out of her shell. There were a lot of laughs and fun. Stephanie is very knowledgeable and professional. She is also very open to ideas and opinions. She made my daughter feel seen and heard, and allowed her to navigate the session. She brought my daughter’s vision to life. She was also willing to offer ideas of her own. We never felt rushed or in a time crunch. Stephanie made our session with her feel like it was her top priority. We knew what was happening through the entire process. Stephanie explained how it all worked, from pricing, to the session itself, through the editing process. She answered any and all questions to our satisfaction and in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend Stephanie Smith photography. As a matter of fact, I booked her for my son’s senior photos as soon as my daughter’s were completed.

Stephanie Smith photographed our engagement session, first look, wedding ceremony, and reception, and we truly couldn’t be happier with the results. Every single photo is beautiful...

. From the very beginning, she helped us feel comfortable and completely ourselves in front of the camera. When we were unsure where to take our engagement photos, she offered several fantastic location suggestions. The one we went with turned out perfectly. At every stage of the process, Stephanie took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our photos and executed our vision flawlessly. Her attention to detail, genuine care for us as a couple, and personal touch shine through in every image. Each photo feels thoughtful, natural, and full of emotion. The hardest part now is choosing which of her incredible photos to print because there are so many favorites! In the midst of countless wedding decisions, choosing Stephanie was one of the easiest. We wholeheartedly recommend her and would trust her to capture any special moment or milestone.

Stephanie’s eye and attention to detail is second to none. Her vision and heart comes through in every photo from the natural beauty of the background down to the simplest details ...

like the napkins on the table. But most of all, she is able to capture the love and emotion so naturally as if no one is looking. Stephanie’s talent, care and professionalism made us feel like she wasn’t just our photographer, but family. She made it possible to preserve our precious and once in a lifetime event with perfection. Her services are priceless.

My wife and I hired Stephanie for our non-trad, queer wedding. She is worth the investment! Stephanie is highly organized, very responsive in communications, and exudes great en...

ergy during the actual shoot. I never had to repeat a single detail to Stephanie -- anything I mentioned once she remembered! Many wedding vendors have a set "aesthetic" in their repertoire and they will try to guide you to fit that mold. My favorite thing about Stephanie is that she takes the time to really get to know you as a couple and incorporate your individual personalities and styles into the photos she captures for your day.

camera. We had so much fun during the session and walked away with huge smiles on our faces, grateful for the fun-filled afternoon we had. When we got our photos a couple weeks later, we realized that Stephanie's talent truly shines through in her work. The photos she captured in the beautiful garden setting with the lush foliage, cherry blossoms, and the perfectly-timed champagne pop are absolutely stunning. We are so excited that Stephanie will be photographing our wedding. Her ability to make us feel relaxed and capture the most magical moments is unparalleled. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer who can create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Stephanie, for an unforgettable experience!

I found Stephanie when I was looking to photography surprise proposal in Park City. Being from NYC, I didn't necessarily have my lay of the land, but I had a bit of an idea about w...

hat I wanted to do. I also happen to be a photographer (not weddings) so I had a lot of opinions about what I may be looking for. Stephanie went ABOVE AND BEYOND in making my proposal incredible. She helped me location-scout in advance of the big day, helped me ideate on a ton of creative photos we could do after the *actual* proposal, and was incredibly communicative and pleasant to work with the whole time. She even drove us around and allowed us to quickly change to go from "surprise proposal in the snow" to "engagement shoot" giving my new fiancee a minute to get ready. Aside from all of this pre-work, the photos came out ABSOLUTELY stunning. Everyone has been impressed with how good they are (and frankly, are jealous). We fully intend to use these photos for our wedding website/etc. She knew exactly how to pose us, get us looking natural, and light/edit/deliver truly beautiful images that I am excited to frame and hang in our home for years to come. You definitely cannot go wrong working with Stephanie! Could not recommend enough.
